Now you can play your entertainment library on one versatile machine. Since the 32LV67 has both a DVD player and a 32-inch screen, you won’t have to worry about connecting different electronic components in order to watch your favorite program. This convenience is matched only by its smart, stylish design.

Aside from their obvious aesthetic value, LCD TVs are much more practical in the home than CRT (tube-style) televisions. They take up a smaller footprint, and thus use up less floor space in the room. Also, LCD TVs are lighter and easier to move around when cleaning or redecorating. The 32LV67 is only 4.65 inches deep and weighs less than 37 pounds. Best of all, LCD screens use less power than CRTs and plasma screens.

Full-Featured DVD Player

The 32LV67 includes an integrated, slot-loading DVD player. It has upconverting technology that improves the standard picture definition of regular DVDs to match the 1366 x 768 (720p HDTV) display resolution of the 32LV67.

Connections

The set has a built-in digital television tuner, so out of the box it can receive digital broadcast ATSC signals and QAM signals used by most digital cable providers. It also has a built-in 181-channel NTSC tuner, so it can also accept traditional analog signals. It is also capable of these connections:

• HDMI inputs: 3
• ColorStream HD component video inputs: 2
• PC monitor input: 1 (VGA 15 Pin D-Sub)
• RF input: 1 rear
• A/V inputs: 2 (rear and side)
• Optical audio output: 1

Just when you thought they would have run out of ideas reinventing the wheel, Samsung is back with a pair of 3D plasma TVs in 42- and 50-inch screen sizes. The results of a collaboration between the Korean electronics giant and game specialist Electronics Arts, these new panels are designed to deliver so-called “best” (yawn) gaming experience and feature a staggering 1,000,000:1 contrast currently claimed only by Sony’s petite OLED TV.

Mumbo jumbo aside, these will ship with the usual icings such as HDMI 1.3 and USB terminals, as well as Samsung’s proprietary DNIE+ video-processing engine. We sure hope they can live up to the hype and elevate big-screen gaming to a whole new level. Yummy.

Reuters reported Tuesday that the company will cease production of its own plasma panels because that portion of its business continues to lose money. The company will still sell plasma sets, but plans to get its plasma panels from Matsushita, parent company of Panasonic, the Nikkei business daily reported. Panasonic is the biggest plasma TV vendor in the world, shipping nearly 40 percent of all plasma displays, while Pioneer ranks fifth, shipping just over 6 percent of plasmas worldwide in the fourth quarter of 2007, according to DisplaySearch.

Pioneer has been repositioning its plasma business over the last few years as a premium brand, most recently pushing its “Kuro” technology, which emphasizes deep black levels and contrast, at CES 2007 and 2008.

Though it appears Pioneer will continue to sell plasmas sets, if it’s not making the panels, it seems unlikely that it will prolong the life of its Kuro technology. Pioneer is, however, already planning to buy liquid crystal display panels from Sharp in order to start selling LCD TVs. LCD sets have quickly become the fastest-growing TV technology, displacing traditional cathode-ray tube sets, as well as rear-projection and plasma.

Thanko may be known to many as the company that comes with the weirdest contraptions from time to time, but its latest Electric Up and Down Big TV Stand may just be its most interesting product yet.

As its name suggests, the Electric Up and Down Big TV Stand is basically a TV stand with a built-in motor to raise and lower large-screen panel displays. Seemingly designed with Wii gamers in mind, the electric TV stand can be conveniently raised by as much as 130cm using a remote control, making it possible to play games more comfortably at eye level. It is rated to lift TV screens between 40 and 60 inches and weighing less than 50kg. Most TV stands in the market today are designed for TV viewing when seated on a couch, thus they are often too low for proper gaming that require standing up.

Unfortunately, this rather useful TV stand doesn’t come cheap. It retails for 69,800 yen (US$685) and is currently available only in Japan. However, with the growing popularity of the Wii console, we won’t be too surprised if OEM makers start coming up with something similar really soon.
