Weather-Resistant Outdoor HD Television 46″ in
Posted by Daoco in Gadgets, Unique Designs on May 5, 2011
This is the high-definition television suitable for permanent installation and use outdoors. The television’s internal components are integrated into an all-weather exterior that repels rain, dirt, insects, and harsh outdoor conditions. Unlike common televisions that lose picture quality due to glare, this television has a 46″ active-matrix TFT screen with an anti-reflective window that provides indoor-quality viewing outdoors in shaded daylight. Capable of 1080i HD performance, the high-resolution screen generates an 1,920 x 1,080 pixel image with a sharp 1,500:1 contrast ratio, and is protected by a scratch-resistant, contrast-enhancing window. A quad-airflow system ensures the television stays cool, dry, and properly ventilated–even up to 122º F. A watertight entry system keeps cables dry, allowing you to connect the television to cable, a satellite dish, a DVD/BluRay player, and an antenna. The internal thermostat-controlled heater maintains proper temperature even in weather as cold as 24º F. Two 10-watt water-resistant speakers provide clear stereo sound. Includes a weather-resistant remote with rechargeable batteries, an articulating wall mount, and an outdoor dust cover.

More and more of us are using our laptops as primary computers, and all of our favorite photos and videos are stored on those laptops.

But unless you’re watching that movie or looking at those vacation videos alone, it’s helpful to be able to hook your laptop up to your TV. Doing that now requires a whole process with cables and drivers and whatnot. More about the wireless HDTV

The new TV remote: Using your hands – Touchless touch screen
Posted by Richer Dao in Computers, Gadgets, Great Ideas, Innovation, Inventions, Technology, Unique Designs, Videos, Wow!!! Factor on December 30, 2009
The TV remote control of the future isn’t an expensive device with an LCD screen and blinking lights. It’s your hand.
The classic TV remote control most of us have grown up with has been around in essentially the same incarnation for half a century. It’s been tweaked over the years, but now one company is looking at ditching the remote altogether and using a camera mounted below a TV screen that senses hand motions instead of button pushes. The result is something that seems right out of Minority Report.
But the high-tech user interface Tom Cruise coolly manipulates onscreen isn’t even all that far-fetched now, thanks to incremental improvements. Until now, the most innovative new input for entertainment in the living room has been the Wii-mote, the motion-sensing remote control/wand that has made Nintendo’s game console a cultural phenomenon. Swing it like a tennis racket and you can pretend you’re playing tennis, point it at the screen and use it like a mouse to navigate menus.
Televisions have progressed as well, with better picture quality and capability. Now TVs can record TV shows, stream Netflix movies, check the weather, read news headlines, and skim RSS feeds. The menus on those TVs appear more and more like what we see on our computer screens, so a new interface that operates more like a mouse seems almost inevitable.
