Gotta Love Wii Bowling

I'm sorry, but I can never get enough of these clips. This one is particularly good. For those that think this may be fake, listen very carefully. You can hear him hit the controller with his leg. Plus it looks like he was going for a 300 game. All I see up there are strikes. That may be why he was filming it.

Finally, a Cell processor that might be fully utilized

Toshiba's new Regza ZF HDTVs don't upscale your DVDs to HD resolution with any old chipset or engine: they do it with a Cell-processor based system. Bonkers! It's the first TV to upscale with a Cell, and according to its European executive vice president, Toshiba's future "does not involve Blu-ray disc" but will use this sort of tech to deliver high-res imagery. The upscaling system uses the Cell for some advanced image-processing techniques, creating interpolated pixels to give the final image "near-HD" quality. The sets will also have Active Vision M100 100Hz HD picture processing, 178-degree viewing angle, 30,000:1 contrast ratio and 10-bit processing. The ZF TVs will be in 40- and 46-inch sizes, the 40-inch out now with pricing of around $2,390, the 46-pricing and availability is not announced yet.

Cheap LCDs on the way

Samsung has found a process to make LCDs from cheaper glass (theregister) due to less heat involved in the process. This means the price of Samsung LCDs will be dropping eventually, meaning I can finally afford to upgrade my CRT Lowdef TV. Maybe.

New Samsung LCD TVs: 1080p24 & Internet Ready

Samsung is making themselves a major player at the IFA2007, by introducing two new PAVV 40 and 46-inch Full HD LCD televisions. Both have 120Hz engines that supports 1080 progressive playback at 60, 120 and 24 frames per second and 25,000:1 contrast ratio, and will have the ability to connect to the Internet.
