TVs are evolving to a place only previously seen in Science Fiction. The rudimentary act of simply turning them on/off is being replaced by some of today’s most advanced technology — and you can say Good-Bye to the remote; Gestures, voice control and facial recognition is in. In other words, today’s TVs are nothing like

LG has announced that it will bring its Google TV sets to the United States later this month, with sales set to begin during the week commencing May 21. The Internet-connected sets are powered by the Android operating system, and they offer viewers a whole host of smart features like access to YouTube, Facebook, VEVO,

Could Apple’s fabled iTV set (or iPanel) come infused with input from Valve? What a rumor, but that’s exactly what’s churning on the Internet today. And it stems from Apple CEO Tim Cook’s visit to the gaming company last week. We’re not suggesting Valve is working on a Steam Box. That rumor was already debunked

If you’re one of those people who suffers with poor eyesight but refuses to wear glasses, then London’s world-famous Harrods department store will sell you a 152-inch TV that you won’t need to squint at. The only problem is, it will take up your entire living room and much of the room above it, and

If you’re finding 1080p televisions not looking as sharp as they once did, there may be hope on the way for you of an even higher resolution. We’ve been hearing more and more about IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) display screens, but it seems that now television manufacturers are taking a liking to the technology

It has become an assumption at this point that Apple will launch an HD television of its own, likely replacing the remote with Siri voice controls, but there’s still a ton of speculation around when the product will actually come to market. In a note to investors on Tuesday, Jefferies & Company analyst Peter Misek

You know what this day was missing?  A ton of television release dates, so Panasonic decided to drop 25 of them all at once. Panasonic announced the release dates for 25 upcoming television sets today.  While no prices were listed in the press release, you can hit them all up over at Panasonic’s site and

We’re live at a Samsung event in New York City where Samsung has taken the stage to discuss several of its new technologies that were first announced during the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year. Is Samsung going to get rid of the remote control? The answer is no. “In fact, we’ve made it better

With the iPad 3 announcement in less than a week, the hype surrounding Apple’s fabled television set has slowly simmered. After months and months of speculation, it certainly had to come down at some point. But even with the rumor front falling a bit quiet, that doesn’t mean we don’t believe it exists. And it

Last November I reviewed Google TV 2.0, a software update pushed out to owners of Logitech and Sony GTV devices. The folks at Sony lent me a 46-inch SIT for testing purposes, and while I found the update to be a marked improvement over the GTV 1.0 software it replaced, I didn’t think it would do

Samsung announced recently that it will spin off its LCD business, which has struggled in recent quarters, to instead focus on manufacturing its OLED displays. In a statement issued on Monday, Samsung explained that it will merge Samsung LCD into Samsung Electronics and then eventually dissolve the company. The objective of the move is to

Overview You’ve probably already read the State of the Union Addresses from my fellow Buffalos — and if you haven’t, you certainly should — but mine’s a little different. As TechnoBuffalo’s resident Brit, I’m going to be taking a look at the state of mobile devices and television here in Britain and how it compares

Just how thin is the new LG 55-inch OLED TV?  Super freakin’ thin. LGs new 3D 55-inch OLED TV is not just thin (4 mm), but its light (16.5 lbs) and sports passive 3D technology as opposed to active.  As TVs go, this is getting as close to hanging a painting on your wall as

While Vizio further expands its reach into consumer homes with its new all-in-one PCs and laptops, the company is still sticking to what it does best: TVs. The Irvine-based company announced today a line of premium HDTVs that will truly attract avid cinephiles. Not content with the standard 16:9 aspect ratio, Vizio has taken upon

We’ve seen the news break about Roku coming out with a new class of device that transforms the “streaming box” into a wee little HDMI dongle — one that doesn’t require a separate remote control (it can use the TV’s remote), but delivers all the same robust online video content of its larger, very popular

Samsung just announced a 55-inch Super OLED TV from the future at its CES press conference. The TV boasts an incredibly beautiful design, with practically no bezel and a wafer-thin body. A new age of television is upon us, and we couldn’t be more excited. Samsung promises its new TV will eliminate the need for a

LG went 3D wild at CES in Las Vegas this morning, unveiling the latest additions to its 3D Smart TV lineup. In addition to 55-inch, 60-inch and 72-inch panel sizes, LG will offer a mammoth 84-inch 3D Ultra Definition Cinema TV. This monster of the cinematic persuasion specializes in a resolution that’s four times that

If you look at today’s tablet and immediately think, “you fat so and so,” then you’re just far too hard to please. But Toshiba may have something up its sleeve that can satisfy you. According to a post on the Japanese company’s website, it is set to announce “the world’s thinnest and lightest” 10.1-inch tablet

In addition to all the new gadgets and gizmos at CES each year it seems like there’s always at least one (if not several) televisions on the show floor touting themselves as the “world’s largest.” It looks like CES 2012 will be no exception; however, this year LG has jumped the gun a bit and

Samsung’s never been one to shy away from multiple iterations of the same basic concept in their product lines. To wit, they currently sell smartphones that run the Android, Windows Phone and Symbian OSes in addition to their own Bada platform. So why should TVs be any different? Just because Sammy’s got a line of

Another day, another email from Logitech. If you’re among the Logitech Revue users losing hope of ever seeing Android grace our set top boxes (like I am), then note that the company has sent a second email telling us to hold on — the Google TV 2.0 software is on the way. The message promises

Last week I posted my written review of Google TV and its newly minted Honeycomb (Android 3.1) update. This week I took out the video camera to do the review again. My conclusions are still basically the same now as they were last week, though a platform like GTV by its nature is a constantly

Timely, isn’t it, to post this review hot on the heels of Logitech’s CEO calling his company’s foray into Google TV “a mistake of implementation of a gigantic nature”? As Adriana reported, company chief Guerrino De Luca said the GTV-powered Revue set-top box cost his business, “well over $100M in operating profits,” and that he

Today Google announced, via their blog, that the Honeycomb-based overhaul to the Google TV platform will start rolling out this weekend. Sony Internet TV users can expect the system update to be available beginning Saturday, while Logitech Revue owners will have to wait a bit longer for their upgrades. I’ve got a Sony Internet TV

For about six weeks I had the privilege of moving my several years old Sharp 32-inch 720p TV set out of my living room and staring at the shiny new Samsung UN46D7000 set up in its place. The Sammy is a 46-inch full 1080p HDTV with 3D capabilities, a 240 HZ refresh rate, and a slew of
