Bang & Olufsen is a high-end purveyors of home entertainment products including home theater and audio gear. The company offers a line of products that are very expensive putting them in reach of only the wealthy for the most part. Today the company has unveiled its latest HDTV offering.

The TV is called the BeoVision 7 55-inch and will be offered in late November for $18,700 including the floor stand and center speaker. For that much loot, you get a 55-inch HDTV supporting full 1080p resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate. The TV has a speaker bar and a built-in Blu-ray player as well.

VIZIO just introduced a few more LED backlit HDTVs to their lineup in the form of 19″ and 23″ models. The 23″ models will support full HD resolution, but keeps things thin. The interesting thing about these models is that both can double as extremely large picture frames. Assuming that you aren’t worried about your monthly power bill anyway.

These 19″ and 23″ models will retail for $349 and $399 when available. No word on when we can expect them.

When you spend a grand or more on a new flat screen HDTV, you want to protect it right? Kids are the main threat, with their sticky fingers and their fondness for throwing things indoors. The other threat is you with your sticky fingers and your Wii addiction.

So how do you protect your TV? With TV Armor. It’s a simple invention that protects your LCD or Plasma TV from cracks, scratches, dirty slimy hands and more. It does this by covering the screen with a thin durable acrylic shield. A 1/4″ thick layer of optical-grade plastic to be precise. It won’t interfere with picture quality either.

The worst thing about home theater gear and HDTVs is that there are lots of wires. Wires don’t look good and if your wife is a wire hater like mine, you end up catching lots of grief. LG has announced a couple new HDTVs that are wireless.

The two new sets include the LG 55LHX and the LH85. The TVs use a media box to transmit uncompressed full 1080p signals with “virtually” no interference directly to the TV. The TV can pick up the wireless signals from up to 30 feet away.

Shopping for a new HDTV but can’t decide? The NuVision Lucidium FX5 Series LCD HDTV might help you decide, if you want to buy an HDTV and do some good at the same time. This limited edition 32″ pink LCD HDTV can help with breast cancer.

They donate a portion of each sale to aid breast cancer research. The NuVision Lucidium FX5 Series LCD HDTV feature Film Times Five (FX5) and Frame Forward Motion (FFM) technologies, which should give you a true 120Hz picture with crisp movement.

Mitsubishi is now the second brand to include Vudu in their HDTVS after LG. Select Mitsubishi Diamond televisions to be exact. The LT-46249 and LT-52249 models feature an Ethernet port that connects to the Internet and the Vudu service. If you want to be wire free, there’s also a WIFI option.

The news makes us wonder who will be next to include Vudu in their sets. Time will tell. Vudu is on a real streak here. It was only back in July when we told you about LG including vudu in their LH50 Netcast HDTVs.

Sharp has a new 52-inch LED HDTV in its AQUOS line, the LC52LE700UN. The widescreen 52 incher supports full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate, 4ms response time, 450 cd/m2 brightness and a viewing angle of 176 degrees.

This TV also features AQUOS Net, Sharp’s internet service for games, weather reports and stocks etc. The Sharp AQUOS LC52LE700UN LED HDTV is now available for purchase for just under $2,000 if you like the specs.

If you are like me, you have probably been rocking the HDTV for several years now. Many consumers still haven’t moved to the HD world. I feel like I am walking into the 60’s when I go to my in-laws and see their massive 27-inch CRT TV sitting on the entertainment center.

According to a new report from CTAM, HDTVs have gained significantly in reach in American homes. The report claims that 53% of America homes now have HDTVs in use. That number is up 18% over 2008. The report also says that of that 53% owning HDTVs, 59% own sets with screens 32-inches or larger.

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.

So sorry Asia, North America, but this set is only headed for the European market. At least for now. But at least it’s on it’s way somewhere thanks to Cello Electronics, who has issued the first HDTV that records OTA (Freeview) content directly to an SD card. That should make it much easier for users to shuffle around their recorded content to portable players.

The set features twin TV tuners, a built-in EPG, split-screen functionality and an integrated DVD player. It come in 22-, 26- and 32-inch varieties. It delivers just 1,440 x 900 pixels and no HDMI socket and is available starting next month for £399.99 ($661) or £469.99 ($777).

Vizio has upset the status quo in the HDTV market in America. The company came in, displaced some of the most established names in HDTVs in America and stole the top sales spot. The reason the company was able to do this was that its products are low cost and perform well.

Vizio has announced a new line of HDTVs that will be coming to market over the next several months. The line includes the XVT HDTV series with up to 240Hz refresh rates and TruLED with Smart Dimming technology.
