3D glassesYesterday saw the official launch of Sony’s 3D TVs in Madrid. Actually, most of the information was already known and have been taking place here in recent weeks.

3D models of Sony TV series presented were LX900 Bravia , Bravia HX800 and HX900 Bravia . All these come with their own transmitter, although other models also showed that only 3D Ready, that is, you have to buy a 3D Kit separately.

Very nice all but the most interesting presentation was a feature, hitherto unknown, which is revealed. Apparently, it can watch two TV channels at once using the 3D glasses .

For example, if you want to watch the soccer game and another wants to watch a series, they both put their glasses and everyone will see specific content. Of course this function only issue in 2D, but hey, it’s an interesting service.

Internet TVStudied in the United States by the Pew Research Center (PRC) during the first week of December 2010, resulted in the 41% of Americans use the Internet as the primary means of access to national and international news, about this steadily as the most popular medium: the TV, which still has 66% of users who prefer , a number that is in dramatic decline, considering 82% of that enjoyed in 2002 and 74% in 2007 , according to reports from 4 January of the PRC.

Internet addresses so second place with an upward trend that seriously threatens the wider supremacy has always favored the TV, and finally defeating the print media, who currently lie 10 points adrift of the Internet in this ranking, and radio has lagged behind other media for several years and currently has a modest 16% margin of preference.

The impact of the Internet among different segments of the population in this study was different in each case, however, in all segments shows a clear upward trend. The segment that said using the Internet as their main source of news, is definitely the youth between 18 and 29 years who show a strong preference level of 65%, almost double than in 2007.

On the other hand, the study shows that TV news is still the most used by people with lower educational attainment. In fact, 75% of those who only have schooling, most states use the TV as a news source, compared to 63% of people with incomplete higher education and 51% of those with a tertiary degree.

The Pew Research Center is an American organization based in Washington DC, dedicated to conducting market surveys and research on areas, attitudes and trends of the population of the United States and the world. For this study, the PRC held a telephone survey among a universe of 1,500 people from all segments, between 2 and 5 December, contrasting its results with those obtained in previous years.

Internet TVWhile the headlines of almost all media in the field of consumer electronics are being dominated by news on 3D TV , the real revolution of the idiot box in 2010 is being carried out with Internet TV .

According to forecasts by expert analysts, 2010 is the year of Internet-connected televisions, with sales figures that put these models in 27.7 million units this year. By contrast, analysts expect that the 3D TVs will total only 4.2 million.

Despite aggressive campaigns and promotions industry, after seeing the success created by 3D Avatar , the market for 3D TV will only be adopted by a small group of enthusiastic consumers. This is because the 3D still has many obstacles such as its high cost, limited content available, the lack of a standard for all brands and the need for pesky glasses and with limited movement.

The Internet-connected TVs allow users to connect to the Internet at all times, avoid using a bridge device as a console or computer games. Through agreements between manufacturers and content providers, Internet TV is creating more consumer interest in 3D itself.

In Spain there is still a long way to reach the levels of content and interactivity that the U.S. offers services like Hulu Plus , Netflix or Amazon , but I suppose that once you pass the mouth of 3D and manufacturers see a need to focus their time interest in the Internet TV , we can say that really has been a revolution and evolution in the boob.

When you are looking for a new TV, the question often come up-plasma vs LCD UK. LCD TVs used to be more energy efficient than plasma TVs, but Panasonic’s new plasma models use no more power than LCD televisions. Both LCD and plasma televisions are lightweight and can easily be wall mounted. Plasma TVs typically are maybe 1 inch thicker, a hardly noticeable difference.

As to picture quality, in plasma vs LED UK, plasma wins as plasma TV provides deeper blacks and brighter colors than LCD TVs. Both display HD content. If you’re watching movies, or a sports fan., plasma TVs are an ideal choice for television viewing.

It can be confusing when visiting a store to chose a television as both look very similar. They are thin, flat screens. Is there really that much difference? Both cost a pretty penny, although both plasma and LCD televisions are dropping in cost.

LCD televisions are slightly less expensive than plasma televisions, and plasma TVs have a slightly better picture quality. You would really have to test both before buying, it’s a hard decision. In plasma vs LED UK, some people notice the difference in picture quality more than other. Try watching a movie, sports, or what you watch the most of on each type of set and see what you think.

Acer
With a little delay extends to Spain all Acer G5 muscle. The new series combines robust design with color and solid black and very wide base, with features for gamblers.

Acer G5 series is available with various sizes to choose from. We can begin to think of them with diagonals from 19 inches and resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels or up to the full model with 24 inch FullHD, plus HDMI connectivity to be added to the DVI and VGA.

As we like to see us, these monitors Acer G5 comes with adjustable tilt to make it easier to use, which is complemented by custom or automatic settings for display or data depending on what tasks we are working with. They also have a contrast of 80.000:1 and Overdrive technology to improve the response of moving images in videos and 3D games. I still do not know the price that will be marketed.
