Bang & Olufsen Announces 46” BeoVision 10[teaser]If the 40” BeoVision 10 wasn’t enough for you, Bang & Olufson has upped the ante. [/teaser] There’s a certain market that Bang & Olufson targets with their televisions. It’s a market segment that I’d quite like to meet, and ask for some explanation. Not only is the BeoVision 10 incredibly expensive considering the feature set, that bottom speaker panel makes it an eyesore as well. Of course, that hasn’t stopped Bang & Olufson in the past, and it’s not going to stop them now. The newest announcement from the company is that they’re officially launching a 46” version of the BeoVision 10 television. It’s got LED edge lighting, and a 240Hz technology that aims to bring you the smoothest pictures yet. Oh, and according to Bang & Olufson, the BeoVision 10 is not only the slimmest television they’ve ever made, but it’s “designed to hang on your wall with your other artwork.” Source: Bang & OlufsonPosted Tue Mar 30, 2010 at 06:00 AM PDT by: -

Pioneer’s New Receivers Coming in May[teaser]From basic to flagship, Pioneer’s new 7.1 channel receivers have a definite iPhone focus. [/teaser] iPhone and iPod connectivity has been good to Pioneer. They experienced a huge amount of growth in their sub $500 receivers, and marketing manager David Bales says it’s thanks to the iPhone. “We know that the dramatic growth was a direct result of our enhancements to convenience and connectivity options expected from Apple users,” he says. Continuing that trend, Pioneer has added even more iPod and iPhone functionality to their receivers. iPhone owners can plug in and play music from their device, and all Bluetooth capable phones will be able to stream music, but only the iPhone gets the iControl app. When connected to a WiFi network, you’ll be able to control your receiver directly from your iPhone. There’s plenty more to the receivers than just iPhone functionality. The VSX-920-K, coming out at $399, is a fairly inexpensive 7.1 receiver and Anchor Bay HDMI processing. The $549 VSX-1020-K sports six HDMI inputs and adds Sound Retriever AIR which is designed to help the sound of compressed audio. The VSX-1120-K is the flagship model of the new receivers and comes out a month later than the others. It adds THX Select2 Plus certification, and switches out Anchor Bay processing for Marvell 1080p/24 processing. It’ll run $749 when it launches in June.

Ultralink Unveils Ultra Flat and Right Angle HDMI Cables[teaser]If you’ve got a nice thin screen mounted right on the wall, round cables just don’t have the right look, or just plain don’t fit. That’s where Ultralink comes in. [/teaser] It’s become fairly clear that buying an exceedingly expensive cable is pointless with HDMI. Shelling out a few hundred dollars on a cable that simply transmits digital information just isn't the best use of your money. Spending a bit of extra cash on a cord that works better for your setup is different. Ultralink has two new cables coming out. The first is the Ultra Flat UFHDMI cable. You can get it in sizes from one to three meters and is nice, flat, and thin. The cables even come with an adapter that lets them bend at a right angle without straining the connectors. The new C2HDMI-RA Challenger series right angle HDMI cables are made with a right angle setup in mind. They’re available in lengths from one to five meters and are rated as compliant with HDMI high speed standards. Source: UltralinkPosted Mon Mar 29, 2010 at 09:00 AM PDT by: -

Samsung’s 3D Glasses Are up for Pre-order[teaser]If you need 3D glasses for the Samsung 3D TV you’re planning on picking up, you can order them now, in both traditional and rechargeable flavors. [/teaser] Planning on picking up one of Samsung’s new 3D TVs? For now, they’re still coming with that handy starter pack that included 'Monsters vs Aliens' and two pairs of their SSG-2100AB 3D Active glasses, but chances are you’ll want to watch with more than just one other person. 3D glasses are finally available for preorder on Amazon, and while pricing isn’t surprising, it’s still not too encouraging. The SSG-2100AB glasses that come in the starter kit can be had for $149 each. A new piece of information though, is that they’re not rechargeable. As soon as they die, you’ve got to have a new battery handy. Of course, if you want to step up to rechargeable, there’s a price hike involved. The rechargeable SSG-2200AR glasses come at $199 a pair. The functionality may justify the price, but the look sure doesn’t. While Samsung’s Touch of Color looks fantastic on televisions, it just looks silly on glasses. But wait, you can’t leave your son or daughter out of the 3D experience! Samsung’s got you covered though, with the $179 SSG-2200KR glasses, which look more like swimming goggles than glasses. They’re rechargeable, which is nice, but they also look pretty breakable, which is not. Source: AmazonPosted Mon Mar 29, 2010 at 07:00 AM PDT by: -
