After announcing that they’ll be showing off a 55-inch OLED TV at CES in Las Vegas next week, LG has described another huge screen in store for the trade show: an 84-inch 3D LCD TV. It’s not just huge and it won’t just give you 3D goodness (via passive Cinema 3D glasses) – this thing is crisp, thanks to a 3840 x 2160 resolution that packs in four times the pixels of your usual 1080p HDTV.
LG has just unveiled a 55-inch OLED (organic light-emitting diode) TV, which sets the record for rocking the world’s largest OLED TV screen. The particular set they’ve unveiled is just a prototype to show off what you can do with an oxide thin-film transistor instead of the usual polysilicon used on smaller OLED screens – basically, it’s LG’s way of upping the screen size without raising the price (or at least not too much).
LG revealed their plans for a TV accessory that supports Wii-like gestures. Called the Magic Motion Remote, the device looks like a simplified TV remote that comes with a Spartan amount of buttons to keep things simple, coming with a simple 5-way d-pad and your basic volume, channel and power buttons.
Sharp has introduced the Aquos Quattron LC-80LE632U, a huge 80-inch TV that’s being tagged as the ‘largest commercially-available LED TV’, which would be perfect for fitting into ‘the world’s emptiest living room wall.’ The TV sports an LED-lit, 1080p LCD TV panel and Wi-fi connectivity, giving you access to Netflix, CinemaNow and Vudu straight out of the predictably huge box it ships in.
Looking for a better way to control your home entertainment system? Logitech has something for that – they’ve actually been serving universal Harmony remotes for years. But if you already own a smart device, say, an iPad, iPhone or Android device, then you don’t have to splurge on a separate remote anymore. They’ve just announced the Harmony Link, a tiny adapter that acts as a WLAN-to-infrared bridge, letting your iPad (or iPhone/ iPod touch/ Android device) control your home entertainment system.
