Philips has unveiled their latest Full HD monitor, the 240B1CS. This one is aimed at the office crowd and features a 24-inch widescreen with 1920 x 1200 Full HD resolution.

Some other features include: 25,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 5ms response time, 300 cd/m2 brightness and it consumes just 30.7W of power while in ECO mode. There’s also two 1.5W speakers and D-Sub, DVI and USB connectors.

Philip’s new SoundSphere MCi900 and MCD900 definitely add some flair to the home stereo concept. Both systems have a pair of speakers, 100 watts of amplification and “free floating” tweeters outside of the enclosure.

The casings are molded from a single piece of aluminum, and each has an integrated CD player and USB socket. The former has a 160GB hard drive, support for internet radio and wireless streaming with networked PCs or Macs. Nothing on price yet, and we have no idea when we Americans may see it.

Netflix fans have something else to be happy about. Philips is now rolling out a bunch of Blu-ray players featuring Netflix Watch Instantly streaming. The BDP5110 and 5320 are both BD-Live players and have vTuner Internet radio.

The 5110 will arrive in Q1 for $169, while the BDP5320 comes with a WiFi dongle and will ship around the same time for $249. On the high-end, the BDP7320 sports all of those features plus DLNA access to stream video from networked devices or PCs.

The new Philips / Funai combo P&F is promising good looks and green habits with its stylish Eco TV series. The 4000, 5000 and 7000 series climb to be exact. 2010 sees the introduction of Netflix streaming, internet radio and Blockbuster Video On Demand on some models and HDMI 1.4 jacks on the 7000 models.

For once we have some prices and release dates for these guys right from the get-go, which is a big plus. Hit up the link below for the full rundown. The prices aren’t bad at all and te wait isn’t very long.

If you’re in the market for a new Blu-ray player, Philips just unveiled its new Profile 2.0 Blu-ray player, the BDP7500. This player has good looks and some interesting features.

Philips DirectLife Activity monitor is exercising the geek way. As a geek, I don’t understand fancy concepts like calories or body mass index or push-ups. What I do understand is status bars. I know when something is fully loaded, half loaded or almost there. And that’s all I need.

I depend on status bars to tell me how close I am to a goal. Philips knows this. The Philips DirectLife Activity Monitor looks like a pedometer and has the status bar in green LEDs on the front. Using the software that comes with the device, you enter your fitness goals and then go about your day. Then just look at it to see how close you are.

Back in September we told you all about Philips’ Wireless HDTV Link. Well Philips has released it in the US. US buyers can look forward to superior high-definition TV picture quality of up to 1080p wirelessly. That should help free you from your tangled wire shackles.

The Philips Wireless HDTV Link will gladly help you replace cables hooked up to yur HD cable set-top box, satellite receiver, Blu-ray player etc. It ain’t cheap at $799 for the Wireless HDTV Link, but what’s it worth to you to connect up to four AV devices to your TV, and also have a few digital HDMI connections and component?

Philips has introduced its latest addition to its LCD monitor line with the Brilliance 225P1ES. This 22 inch widescreen monitor includes the PowerSensor feature which detects when the user is not in front of the screen and lowers the contrast and brightness until the user returns.

According to Philips, while in power-savings mode, the LCD’s consumption will drop by 70%. Some other features include a native resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels, a 5ms response time, 250 cd/m2 brightness, 1000:1 contrast ratio, built-in two 1.5W speakers, plus D-Sub, DVI and USB connectors.

Philips has unveiled two new touchscreen handsets, the X806 and the C702 which will most likely drop in China soon. The pair look pretty nice. The X806 is just 14mm thin, comes with a 3.5″ TFT display at 240 x 400 resolution, a 5-megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity, integrated FM radio, 47MB of internal memory and a microSD memory card slot. No 3G listed sadly.

Next is the CDMA 1X Philips C702 handset, with a 1.3-megapixel camera, a 3.4″ QVGA display, Bluetooth connectivity, GPS navigation, 70MB internal memory and a microSD memory card slot.

Joining the ranks of all of those other recently announced HD PMPs, is the Philips SA075. There isn’t much information about this guy right now, but rumor has it that it will come with an 800×480 touchscreen, and feature HDMI output.

It will support HD video playback, but we don’t know the exact definitions,720p or 1080p. That’s about all we know at the moment sadly, but we’ll keep on eye out on this one for you.

Philips’ GoGear Muse sports a typical glossy body, 16GB of internal storage and a 3-inch display. This one takes the Opus’ place as the company’s top-of-the-line player. It also features support for BMP, GIF, PNG, OGG, APE, Real Video and Real Audio formats, and of course MP3.

According to Philips users can expect up to 25 hours of audio playback on a single charge, while watching video will give you just 5 hours. The device will hit Singapore first for S$349 (or $244). It may or may not show up in North America later.

Philips just introduced its Wireless HDTV Link at IFA Berlin 2009. It’s another device to help us do away with messy wires, so your home doesn’t look like some tech bird nest constructed with AV wires. It’s an HDMI transmitter/receiver duo that lets you arrange a wide array of A/V components neatly, so that they work together within a 20 meter radius.

The base station has a few HDMI connections, a few component connections and transmits full 1080i and 1080p/30fps HD video. It will arrive in your home soon for €599.99.

Philips has two new phones coming soon. The K700(pictured) and the X501. The K700 sports a full touchscreen display and is part of the Xenium family. It also features a 3.2-megapixel camera. Our guess is that you can expect good battery like with other Xenium handsets.

The X501 is more of a mystery. We do know that it sports a 2-megapixel camera. No word on pricing or availability yet on either of these up and comers.

Philips’s new Wake-up Light Alarm HF3490 won’t jolt you awake. Instead it will wake you up gradually by increasing the amount of light a little at a time. That way you can wake up the way nature intended. With light, not harsh sounds.

If you want you can also use the FM radio, natural sounds or music from your iPod or iPhone. You can pre-order it now for $199.99. It’s great for those living in apartments where the lighting may not be great.

Philips has announced its expanded home theater lineup for 2009, with the HTS8160B Soundbar. The compact home theater setup includes a Blu-ray disc player with DVD and CD playback support, built-in speakers and a separate subwoofer.

The soundbar also supports Dolby True HD audio format and 7.1 channel surround sound. You’ll also get an iPod/iPhone dock and a touchscreen remote control. It will cost you around $1,500 and is currently available in Singapore. We don’t know if or when it will hit North America.
