If you want a really big picture for your home theater, there are several ways to go about it. You can spend tens of thousands on a really big LCD of plasma TV screen. That’s far outside the capability of most of us. Or you can opt for a projector and get about 100-inches or more of home theater goodness.

Sanyo has announced a new projector called the PLV-Z3000 that would make for a great home theater. The Z3000 can throw an image 100-inches from 10 to 20 feet away from the screen. The projector also features the first utilization of 5:5 pull down that allows users to watch broadcast TV and more in movie theater quality.

Listen, if your entire house is decked out in Hello Kitty items, that’s your business. But it affects me too. Someone please think about the men. The innocent, unsuspecting men… Must all things lead to Pink Upchuck heaven? I think the main problem I have with it is that in about 2000 years, no one is gonna know who the hell Hello Kitty is, but they will be digging this stuff up and thinking we worship a pink feline goddess. Hmmm. I guess you kind of do, which is why I’m writing this. Okay, forget I said anything. I’ll try to tell you about your new TV without gagging.

It’s the TL19TX1 from Uniden. It’s a 19-Inch TV with a resolution of 1440×810, and a contrast ratio of 1,000:1, brightness of 300cd/m², and response time of 5ms.
It also features a 1Seg Tuner, built-in speakers (3Wx2), and HDMI Interface. You can get it in two colors : Black & White and the price is 415€.

Soyo, in addition to sending to market its 22-inch LCD TV, also said this week it was releasing 19- and 22-inch displays under its Honeywell Arius line. These displays will cost around $350 and $400, respectively.

The 22-inch wide LCD Monitor, said Soyo, features three USB ports as well as a built-in 1.3 mega pixel webcam and built-in microphone. The monitor will also feature 2ms response time, 300 nits brightness, 700:1 contrast ratio and a native resolution of 1680 x 1050 at 60 Hz.

Soyo. a consumer electronics manufacturer, announced yesterday its first 22-inch LCD TV was heading to retail. It is known as the Soyo SYTPT2238AB and you’ll find it pricing around $480.

Soyo said its new 22-inch television “features a 2 ms response time, a 1,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and a resolution of 1680×1050. It also features a brightness rating of 300 nits and stimulated surround sound and a full array of inputs to accommodate high definition video sources and video game consoles.”

If the Samsung 2263DX 22-inch LCD is Dr. Evil, the small 7-inch LCD grafted onto it would definitely be Mini Me. The idea is that the main 22-inch screen can be used for normal work and the secondary 7-inch screen can be used to extend your desktop to keep other stuff visible.

I guess you could use the little screen for IM applications, RSS feeds, and TV watching or other things. The 7-inch screen attaches to the main display via an arm that allows it to be mounted to either side of the main display or above it. The small display connects to the main display via a mini USB cable so you don’t need to directly connect the small screen to your computer.
