Acer's GD235HZ 23.6-inch 3D display is ready for your glasses-equipped exploits
Feb 08, 2010 - 7:47 AM - by HDTV News Poster



You could say 3D has hit the mainstream computer today (or something similarly bombastic and partially untrue), as Acer has just released its GD235HZ 120Hz LCD, specially prepped for working with NVIDIA's 3D Vision active-shutter glasses system. The 23.6-inch, 16:9 display retails for $399, and while it's going to be great for 3D gaming for the next few months until you grow bored of Avatar and frustrated by Left 4 Dead 2, the 1920 x 1080 resolution is going to really come in handy once the first crop of 3D Blu-ray movies starts hitting. Of course, the NVIDIA 3D Vision kit is sold separately for $199, and requires a compatible NVIDIA card, but that's a small price to pay for total spatial immersion, right? PR is after the break.

Mitsubishi to introduce preposterously large 149-inch OLED TV at ISE 2010
Feb 06, 2010 - 9:35 AM - by HDTV News Poster

Yeah, you can snag a TV larger than this, but good luck finding a 150-inch set with an OLED panel. In a presumed effort to quietly exert superiority over those "other guys," Mitsubishi is purportedly planning to unveil a 149-inch OLED TV at ISE 2010, which kicks off in earnest next week -- though, we have to say, we sure hope it's not one of those modular units that we saw at CEATEC. Unfortunately, the native resolution of just 1,088 x 640 is downright boring, but we're forcing ourselves to focus on the positives here. Essentially, something like this wouldn't have much use outside the world of digital signage, but man, talk about making an impact on to-be customers. So, Mitsu -- when's the 1080p 4K version coming out?



Update: Ugh -- looks as if this will be based around the modular technology we spotted at CEATEC. So much for our hopes and dreams.

Netflix earnings, subscribers and streaming growth have analysts drooling over a theo
Feb 05, 2010 - 8:34 AM - by HDTV News Poster

It's total pie-in-sky speculation, completely lacking in serious evidence or even vague "sources familiar with the matter," but for some reason, after two and a half years of hard rumoring, analysts seem more sure than ever that Amazon is looking into a Netflix acquisition. Netflix just announced some pretty attractive quarterly earnings, along with some nice hard numbers: it added one million subscribers in Q4 to notch itself past the 12 million mark, and 48% of its customers streamed at least 15 minutes of video off of Instant Watch -- compared to 28% a year ago. The logic goes that Amazon's looking to position itself as a digital goods purveyor, and Netflix is doing a bang up job of that very thing. Sounds just fine to us, but if Amazon tries to lock us into E Ink Netflix streaming on the Kindle, some heads are going to roll. There's naturally no comment from Netflix or Amazon on the speculation.



[Thanks, Steve H.]

Sky Perfect launching 3D over satellite in Japan this summer
Feb 04, 2010 - 7:47 AM - by HDTV News Poster

Another day, another broadcaster launching 3D. This time it's Japan's Sky Perfect JSAT, which plans to flip the switch ahead of World Cup 3D action in June. Of course this isn't the first 3D broadcasts for the country, but it's similar to rollouts planned by DirecTV here and Sky in the UK, using side by side format, h.264 compressed video to send the new broadcasts over existing boxes. Currently broadcasting 58 HD channels and still looking to add more, it plans to kick off with two or three programs, mostly sports and live events.

Engadget HD Podcast 176 - 01.26.2010
Feb 03, 2010 - 8:08 AM - by HDTV News Poster
Engadget logoNo guests this week, but there's still plenty of HD related topics to talk about. Of course that includes 3D, but after that we had time to discuss a new Blu-ray player from Oppo, future possibilities for digital distribution and exactly what we're expecting from NBC's costly Winter Olympics coverage. After that the talk turns to the legal aspects of the latest action from the FCC, and Microsoft's patent infringement lawsuit. We wrap things up with an evaluation of DirecTV's multiroom beta, and just what happened to all the hype over connected HDTVs in 2010.
