TV viewers now refusing to watch SD content?
Posted on May 24, 2010 | No CommentsThere's a handy option in the DirecTV menu guide for "HDTV Channels." On the rare occasion when I'm actually sitting in front of the TV looking to "channel surf" (more like "menu surf" nowadays), it's only "HDTV channels" I'm concerned with. Nearly halfway through 2010, it has come to the point where, unless I absolutely have no other choice, I simply won't watch a network unless the program is in HD. Has it come really come to that? That, unless a show is in HD, you'll simply skip it?

South Korea first to terrestrially broadcast HD 3DTV
Posted on May 10, 2010 | No CommentsConclusive evidence that South Korea is the greatest country on Earth: it will begin terrestrial (that's over-the-air) 3D TV broadcasts in a few weeks. Better still, it'll be in full high-definition. How long do you think it's going to be before "Dancing With The Stars" is shown in 3D here? Probably like 200 years, yes.

Samsung first to start 3D HDTV production
Posted on January 28, 2010 | No Comments
Samsung announced recently that they will be mass producing 3D HDTVs. They are the first manufacturer to actually come out and say so, but I doubt they will be the last given the sheer volume of 3D technology we saw at CES. Samsung stated they will be producing three sizes initially, in 40-inch, 46-inch, and 55-inch screens. All three sizes will support the current 3D Active Glasses, which is currently the industry standard.

Posted on January 5, 2010 | No Comments
TVs with Internet connectivity are nothing new, but this is pretty cool: As the world's first TV makers, Panasonic and LG are cooperating with Skype to incorporate the software, which will make it possible to video chat in 720p HD quality, into TVs.
According to a Japanese media report [registration required, paid subscription], Americans will be able to buy the Pansasonic TVs first (as early as this spring), followed by Japanese and Europeans in the summer.

If you’re going to buy an HDTV, why do you still keep using standard-definition sources?
Posted on December 11, 2009 | No CommentsThis is definitely a case of preaching to the choir, but perhaps you have friends and/or family members in need of support. A survey just came out in the UK that says that while 56 percent of households have an HDTV, 91 percent of them still use standard-definition sources. That is, even though Mum and Dad have shelled out £900 for a 40-inch 1080 LCD, said TV is still connected to standard-def Sky box or plain ol' DVD player. What gives? Why spend the money on a new TV if you're not going to use it?

Green: California getting closer to banning power-hungry TVs
Posted on October 15, 2009 | No CommentsUh oh, another vaguely political post on CrunchGear. As you already know, the Consumer Electronics Association, the trade group that organizes CES, is fighting tooth and nail against possible regulations that would see California essentially ban the sale of power-hungry HDTVs. This mostly affects plasmas because they consume the most electricity of the different types of TVs out there.
