We can already get TVs at huge sizes, up to 150 inches for the truly rich and insane, but are they thin enough to hang on our wall and be mistaken for a painting? Not yet, but companies are racing to put out the first super-thin LCD TVs. JVC is pl...

]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:06:03 +0800 We've seen some thin LCD HDTV prototypes, but this soon-to-ship LG LH9500 is getting ridiculous. Not only is the 55-inch LED-backlit beauty just 24.8mm thin — plug in a USB hard drive and it can play back pirate-fave DiVx video files in all their HD glory. A TV this improbably thin needs an out...

Which is also the entire life savings you'd probably make working at your desk everyday from now until you die. Don't mean to sound morbid, because I can afford these and w...

]]> Fri, 03 Oct 2008 14:08:24 +0800 Sound & Vision took the time to actually critique Sanyo's latest with an open mind, and believe it or not, it found the all new QuaDrive technology to be everything it was hyped up to be. To be fair, the PLC-XP200L isn't tailored for the home theater; the lowly 1,024 x 768 resolution and 4:3 asp...
