Vizio Showcases 2011 Televisions - Including 21:9 Sets[teaser]And yes, they really should be factored down to 7:3 but that just doesn't sound as cool now, does it? [/teaser] Vizio has a lot up its sleeve for the 2011 holiday season, but the biggest - or at least the most interesting - addition to the company's lineup is the new Cinemawide series. Two Cinemawide sets, in 50 and 58 inch sizes, will be available later this year at a price yet to be set. They offer a 21:9 aspect ratio, which means you'll be able to watch 2.35:1 movies that fill the screen instead of having to deal with black bars on the top and bottom. Vizio is also launching XVT sets that boast 160 zones of LED backlighting and smart dimming technology. These are expected to launch in December. Last but not least, the M series of passive 3D sets will be launching later this year. Each TV will come with four sets of glasses and will play nice with the glasses you take home from the theater. And admit it, you do take them home. Source: TWICEPosted Wed Jun 29, 2011 at 11:00 AM PDT by: -

80 Percent of People Pick Passive TVs, According to LG[teaser]The company's study shows a very strong preference towards passive technology. [/teaser] According to a study arranged by LG and carried out by market research firm Morpace, there is an incredibly strong consumer slant towards passive 3D technology. The test compared a few different sets from Sony and Samsung with a Cinema 3D passive television from LG. The results favored LG's set strongly. Around 80 percent of respondents chose the LG over either the Samsung or Sony. "We developed LG Cinema 3D to solve the problems consumers were experiencing with active 3D and to provide the best 3D experience in the home," says LG CEO Wayne Park. "With its outstanding picture quality, affordability, and easy-to-use and share glasses, it's no surprise that LG Cinema 3D technology is preferred by four out of five of consumers." You can check out the full test at LG's site. Keep in mind, LG organized the test and picked the TVs used for it, so things may not be all that they seem.

[/teaser] What happens when the CEO of the biggest subscription streaming service gets together with the largest social networking site around? We're about to find out. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has officially joined the Board of Directors at Facebook, stating that "Facebook is propelling a fundamental change in how people connect with each other and share all kinds of content.' Of Hastings, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said "Reed is an entrepreneur and technologist who has led Netflix to transform the way people watch movies and TV," adding that "He has built a culture of continuous rapid innovation, something we share and work hard to build every day."
