Posted in Toshiba by Conner Flynn on July 23rd, 2009

Toshiba Stainless Style 720p HDTV Toshiba has just unveiled a truly kitchen-friendly TV with the 19LV612U. The 18.5-inch set features a built-in slot-loading DVD player, integrated ATSC / NTSC / QAM TV tuner and a 1,366 x 768 native resolution. And just look at that stainless steel coating, which will match your other modern appliances.

Some other specs include a brightness of 300, a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 5ms response time, HDMI / VGA inputs, a headphone jack and VESA mount support. It will distract you from preparing and eating meals this September for a price of $349.99. I wonder if it cleans up easy.

Dell Mini 10 now available with 720p screenLooks like you can now configure Dell’s latest netbook with a 1366×768 screen, which is big enough to handle 720p. It will cost about $35 extra, so it’s a no-brainer. Assuming that wide frame around the screen doesn’t bother you on a 10 incher, at any rate.

And another factor is: How well does it handle 720p? From what we can gather, there’s a built-in TV tuner and a six-cell battery coming at some point, but nothing yet.

The clips below show the game running in what is equal to 720p. So click on through to see how they would look if Nintendo had only joined the 21st century. And yes, it looks awesome. Just make sure you hit the HD button.

Forever Plus makes Pico projectors high def

Forever Plus makes Pico projectors high defSurprisingly, it isn’t a huge name taking the Pico projector to 720p. Forever Plus gets the credit for the world’s smallest 720p projector. It measures just 0.49 x 0.59 x 0.19-inches and projects footage from HDMI at 1,280 x 768 resolution for 30,000 hours via LED lighting.

Nothing yet on price or availability. We’re not completely sold however. We’re a little skeptical that they didn’t list the brightness or contrast ratio. Makes you wonder why. They probably aren’t that good. Now the rest of the big names have to get in on the action.

Posted in Samsung by Conner Flynn on February 15th, 2009

Samsung OmniaHD to feature 720P HD-video captureAccording to SamsungCentral, Samsung’s newly announced OmniaHD will be the world’s first cellphone to record 720p video. It will have a 3.7-inch AMOLED screen, which should be decent for the HD content it will record.

That’s really about all we know if you take their word for it. It likely also has GPS, Wi-Fi, plenty of built-in storage and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Those are basic features, after all. No word on what OS it will run, but we would like to get one of these in hand.
