Image Property of Robert Scoble – link Sony and Samsung cheap TVs you will find no more. Apparently, 3rd party retailers’ heavy handed price slashing has gotten both consumer electronic giants hot under the collar. So much so, in fact, that both manufacturers are reportedly beginning to enforce minimum pricing. The new minimum pricing scheme will allegedly “protect both the manufacturers’ margins and the retailers’ profits from...
We’re just getting to the point now here in the US where 1080p is getting pretty ubiquitous. Granted, millions of people still don’t have any type of HD device or signal coming into their house. But millions in the grander scheme of things — hundreds of millions — is rather tiny.

Speaking of weight,...
Any type of HD guru will tell you that OLED is the promising future. Granted, OLED still has some issues with direct light. But in a nice dark theater room, an OLED truly sings. The only limiting factor so far has been a sort of “chicken or the egg” conundrum. For example, Sony’s 11″ OLED TV costs consumers $3,499. Who’s going to spend that much on such a small TV?
