Rolltop OLED Display Laptop Concept


OLED displays will be a real hit in the near future. We’ll probably see them in more and more big-screen TVs and all sorts of computers and laptops. Take this Rolltop laptop here for example. The whole thing can be rolled up neatly whenever not used. The laptop comes with a flexible multitouch OLED screen which can be adjusted to serve either a 17-inch flat screen or a 13-inch tablet. There aren’t enough details about this concept at this point but we would certainly love to see this baby in action. Did I say it can also be used as a TV?

Emo Labs Brings Invisible Speakers to Your Future Display


For some reason Emo Labs wants to offer us invisible speakers. We don’t exactly need our speakers to be invisible, do we? But I’d have to admit the idea is pretty cool so why not give it a try. So how does it all work? The invisible speaker is actually a clear membrane which will be mounted atop your display. Piezoelectric actuators will be used to make the membrane vibrate and give you stereo audio. Just check the video above to see exactly what Emo Labs wants to add to your home theater at some point in the near future.

We have no idea when the new technology will be available but we’re definitely keep an eye on Emo Labs and its future progress with invisible speakers.

Dallas Cowboys to Keep HD Scoreboard for Now


Remember the whole problem with that giant HD scoreboard from the Dallas Cowboys stadium? Well it looks like the NFL has decided to allow the screen on top of that field at least for this season. In case the huge screen will get hit again then it’s going to be a dead ball and the clock and down will both be reset. In case you missed the incident then check the video above. I wonder how many times the screen will get hit during the following games!

World’s Largest HD Video Screen Gets Hit by Football

I bet nobody expected that a punter could hit the impressive 180-foot-long HD display mounted over the Dallas Cowboys Stadium. But that’s exactly what happened in a Tennessee-Dallas game.

Let’s overlook the seriousness of the situation from the safety for players point of view to concentrate on the game of football for a second. What will the NFL do about the screen? Will teams have to challenge on interference from the actual stadium? Does that sound fair? Will punters have to hit the football with less power? Raising the screen will cost around $2 million so that seems to be out of the question.

But what if the ball would break something which will fall on a player? All of a sudden this becomes a safety issue which should be dealt with immediately.

Looking for a Portable Interactive Display?

Portable Large Interactive Display Concept from Hiep Truong on Vimeo.

This concept display might never make it to your must-have gadgets list but it’s still a daring idea. The display in the picture here could be obtained by simply projecting an image on a large enough table. This virtual display will respond to your gestures and you’ll be able to freely interact with the content you’re about to show. For getting a 60-inch image on any bright surface you will be using an ultra short throw projector while a vision based tracking system will offer you that touch input you need for interaction with the virtual display. We have no pricing details or arrival dates as this portable display idea is only a concept for now. We’ll be back with more details once we have them so in the mean time you can enjoy the presentation above!

Panasonic details, prices in-dash nav/Blu-ray player bundle

Normally, when you’re on the road, you generally have to curb your HD cravings and deal with low resolution viewing due to the normal nature of current in-car TV options. Luckily, Panasonic has recently announced their in-dash HD nav system & Blu-ray player combo to eliminate the need to lower your resolution while on long car trips.

This bunlde will include a 7-inch 720p screen with an HDMI port, iPod connector, SD card slot and a digital TV tuner along with a Profile 1.1 Blu-ray player. Add that to all of the normal features you’d except from an in-dash navigation system and you have yourself the ultimate HD in-dash setup.

Of course, this bundle won’t come cheap as the in-dash display itself costs upwards of $3,870 while the Blu-ray player is priced right around $1,050. Of course, this is all hypothetical until Panasonic gets around to released this anywhere outside of Japan.

Bang & Olufsen Launch Flute-Like BeoTime Alarm Clock and Remote


We’ve gotten used to see Bang & Olufsen outstanding designs meant to improve your whole multimedia experience and today we have one more gadget for you. It’s not a surround system or a HDTV but it’s an alarm clock that also doubles as a remote during the day.

The BeoTime can serve as an alarm clock but it also can be used to control various Bang & Olufsen gadgets. It looks like a flute since its creator, Steffen Schmelling, was inspired by Mozart’s The Magic Flute when he made it. Those cubes will turn into tiny displays and you should have no problem controlling some of your favorite devices with it. The BeoTime remote will be available sometime in August for just $375 which is much cheaper than we would have expected it. Not that paying $375 for an alarm clock I will grow to hate is something that I’d do, but compared to other B&O prices we’ve seen, the BeoTime is definitely more affordable.

Wraparound Screens Displays Air Traffic in Real Tim with Lots of Details


The screen in the picture above is one of the coolest screens I’ve seen in a while now. What it does is pretty smart and pretty simple. The screen shows all the Lufthansa flights at once and that’s happening in 3D with the help of a 180-degree, 46-foot-wide screen. It will take a while until you can set something like that up in your huge expensive house but it would be certainly interesting to see it at work in different circumstances. Let’s say a movie or, why not, a cool video game?

And since the screen shows about 16,000 Lufthansa flights at once we should assume that the machine powering all that is even more impressive than the whole display.

Gears of War 2 Played on the Cowboys Stadium LED Wall


Not anyone can brag that they’ve played Gears of War 2 on a 72 x 160-foot LED wall at the center of the new Cowboys Stadium. But if you’re Steve Fatone, Jonas Brothers video director, then you can find a moment of free time in between concert preparations, get your Xbox 360 and fire a few rounds from the distance. I wish the sound system was turned on too so the video above could show us exactly how it feels playing games on huge displays. So how big is you display anyway?

Are You Sitting Too Far Away To Enjoy Your Full Resolution 1080p Display?

According to a poll by the folks at Gizmodo, many viewers are sitting too far from their HDTVs to enjoy the full resolution of a 1080p display. Referencing the Lechner Distance Chart at hdguru.com, the Gizmodo poll determined that 60 percent of viewers were sitting more than six feet from 1080p/1080i screens under 40 inches in size. In the 40- to 52-inch class, 43 percent were sitting more than eight feet from the screen. And for sets over 52 inches, 35 percent were sitting from 8 to 10 feet away, and another 30 percent more than 10 feet away.

In all these cases, that would not be enough to get the full benefit of the set’s resolution. When owners of 720p sets (still considered HD) were surveyed, a larger proportion were sitting at the optimum distance. Even if you’re sitting too far from your display, that’s likely to be better than sitting too close, which would make video artifacts and pixel structure more detectable. Before shopping for a new TV set, it would help to know what the viewing distance will be, so you can choose the size that will give you the optimum resolution and best overall impact.
