The first run is already 100% claimed for this morning, but it'll be on again at 12 PM PST. You'll have to be on the ball though as I expect the 360s will sell out in a matter of minutes. Other Gold Box deals today include a 32-inch Sony Bravia HDTV for $399.99.</p>
<p>Walmart will also be offering the same deal in retail stores across the United States, though there will only be 10 units available per outlet.</p>

The AN0100 Wireless 11n AP doesn't have a description or any images attached in the FCC filing (aside from what looks like an included Ethernet slot), but it's probable that the new adapter will better handle wireless HD streaming across a home network. The current version of the DVR adapter features support for TiViToGo, online scheduling, multi-room viewing, and photo and music playback.</p>

Research firm NPD's director of industry analysis, Ross Rubin, thinks it's possible. Given the huge uptake in Blu-ray sales this year as prices continue to fall, he thinks if anything we'll definitely see a ton of $99 deals. And as opposed to last year, 2009's deals won't be from second-tier brands like Magnavox and Sylvania, but first-tier brands that ship web-connected models. What do you think? We'll we see a $49 Blu-ray player this Black Friday?</p>

Netflix subscribers with unlimited plans will be able to access movie content instantly with Best Buy's Insignia brand NS-WBRDVD Advanced Series Blu-ray player and NS-BRDVD3 Connected Blu-ray player. The former Blu-ray player streams Netflix movies over Ethernet while the latter Connected model can also stream over Wi-Fi. This is pretty significant as at $180 and $250, respectively, the two Insignia Blu-ray players are bringing advanced functionality to the mainstream consumer at a price that was unheard of even a year ago.</p>

The PLC-XF1000 manages to pump out 12000 lumens combined with a 4000:1 contrast ratio making it suitable for large auditoriums and other large-sized venues. Sanyo claims the brightness and color clarity is also perfect for the digital signage market. How much will you pay for 12000 lumens? A cool $25000--not your typical home theater projector.</p>

The new standard, comparable in some ways to DVB in Europe et al. enables typical TV like that you usually watch in the living room, to find a new home on mobile devices. Good for live television, video-on-demand, targeted advertising and all the other fun stuff that comes with typical cable, the ATSC standard is already supported on select Samsung and LG devices, and will hopefully roll out sometime in the near future. Over 800 American stations are already signed up to broadcast the new signal over existing 6 MHz airwaves. You can read more about the new standard <a href="http://www.atsc.org/standards/">here</a>.</p>

Both threats rank as intangibles that can't register until they actually happen. Mess up a video recording--even threaten it--and that will register.</p>
<p>Isao Echizen of the National Institute of Informatics, in cooperation with Sharp, has invented a technology that places near-infrared LEDs behind the movie screen, sending light through little holes when the movie is playing. The human eye can't see them because the wavelength used is indistinguishable to the human eye. But playback that video recording, dear pirate, and you'll see really, really annoying red and green blotches all over the screen.</p>
<p>Sharp aims to commercialize this technology in 2-3 years, though by that time I'm sure pirates will have moved to something way more high-tech than camcorders for in-theater movie piracy.</p>

A Dutch study has revealed that "framing" a TV viewer's expectations of picture quality can have a significant effect on how that quality is perceived. The study showed 60 participants the same TV image. However, half were told the image was HD quality, a claim backed up by posters and other verifying material placed around the display. The other half of the participants were told the image was standard-def DVD quality. The power of suggestion was very apparent, as the majority of those participants told they were seeing an HD image could notice a 'difference' from SD picture quality--even though they were being shown the same quality. Whether of not this would be as prevalent in North America in unknown. The PAL standard used in Europe is closer to HD than the NTSC standard used on North America. The difference in SD and HD picture quality on this side of the pond tends to be more obvious.</p>

As per usual, they are silly looking, don't look particularly comfortable, and won't catch on with mainstream consumers (I'll bet alot of money on this). But at least the 3D revolution has begun.</p>

The Blu-ray player is also Profile 2.0 so owners can access interactive film content on the web via the built-in Ethernet port. Full YouTube integration is also included if you're more of an amateur video fan. Other specs of note include standard-def video upscaling to 1080p, a pair of HDMI slots, a USB connection, and the LG Sound Gallery, enabling owners to access 7 sound controls to match the room ambiance. While LG hasn't released a price yet, the HB954SP Blu-ray home theater system is expected to arrive on retailers' shelves in November.</p>

It's actually pretty intuitive: just split the display into smaller modules. At CEATEC, a consumer electronics conference currently ongoing in Japan, Mitsubishi is showing off a 155-inch OLED TV that is actually a giant puzzle consisting of 720 1.5 square inch OLED panels. The modular design means that the set can actually be resized as needed, making it a good fit for commercial applications such as outdoor advertising displays. The display can also be curved to fit into existing infrastructure. Mitsubishi hasn't announced a release date or price for the prototype OLED TV, but if it ever does end up on store shelves, expect the price to be located up somewhere near the moon.</p>

This morning FLO TV entered a new market, leveraging Qualcomm's hardware know-how to bring a dedicated FLO TV mobile device to consumers. </p>
<p>The FLO TV Personal Television is roughly the size of a typical GPS navigator, with a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display, a 4.4 x 3 x 0.5 inch dimensional form factor, and a battery life providing 5 hours of continuous playback or 300 hours standby. It also sits on a built-in swivel stand so it can be place on any flat service. Owners will receive live or time-shifted TV over the FLO TV network and once swipe of the touchscreen will enable channels to be changed. </p>
<p>Will this catch on? Who knows. FLO TV is offered via mobile phones, in-car entertainment systems, and other mobile devices already. In an era of extensive multitasking, dedicated devices like this are in tough. Just looks at Verizon's Hub--it's already been canceled.</p>
<p>The FLO TV Personal Television is priced at $249.99 (MSRP) while the FLO TV service starts at the $8.99 per month when prepaid on 1 or 3 year subscription plans.</p>

The unit sports 3840 × 2160 resolution via a 10-bit RGB LED backlit panel among many other features worthy of a ridiculously high price tag. It also includes "SRM Manager" software which allows owners to adjust color temperature and other pictures controls using a WIndows-powered PC. Coming to Japan November 1, the Sony TRIMASTER SRM-L560 will cost 6,825,000 yen, the equivalent of US$76583.</p>

The 240 Hz 55X1 is shipping in Japan come the beginning of December, and is expected to reach the Americas in 2010. For a rather extravagant price, of course: $11, 115.</p>

The company continues to pump out good product reviews on a consistent basis though; something to keep in mind next time you're looking for a new HDTV or Blu-ray player.</p>
<p>The latest review, of the 1.8-inch thick LG 42SL80, comes to us courtesy of the folks at PCMag.com. The 42-inch set is not only an aesthetic pleaser, but also quite the performer. It has a handy Picture Wizard that helps the average home theater user calibrate the set to perform maximally. It delivers good color quality and 240 Hz refresh, though the latter doesn't cut all of the motion blur common to faster, action-oriented flicks. On the downside, its standard-definition performance is lacking. Its deinterlacing performance isn't earth-shattering either.</p>
<p>Overall, the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/PUTNUMBERHERE/jaybrewernet7-20">LG 42SL80 appears to be a solid buy</a>, receiving a score of 4/5 from PCMag.</p>

The 3D Toy Story, now in theaters, was created by adding a virtual second camera to the one camera view used in the 2D Toy Story films of the last decade.</p>
<blockquote><p>Without changing any of the film's action, Pixar's 3-D specialists, or stereographers, returned to each frame of the film and virtually placed a second camera next to the original, creating left-eye and right-eye views of the scene.
