CrystalLine Rear Projection Screens Go Invisible
By Evan Ackerman Woehburk, a German company (retailers for the heliodisplay, incidentally) have developed an 91% transparent rear-projection screen that looks like a sheet of glass, creating a pseudo-holographic effect of an image displayed in midair.

Samsung’s 94 Series Plasma TVs Lose All Cables, Save One
By David Ponce We try not to write about gadgets with more memory, faster connections or marginally improved compatibility with this or that. Who really cares that Cowon’s iAudio 7 comes in 8GB flavors, as opposed to the iAudio6 which came in 4GB? But when we hear about a plasma TV that loses all its…

TWISTER Alternate Universe Machine
By Evan Ackerman If somebody were to say to me (as people are wont to do), “Quick! Imagine a machine that transports you to an alternate universe!” I would probably picture something that looks (and sounds) almost exactly like TWISTER.

By David Ponce If you’ve ever set foot in a classroom, you’re aware that now and then, when the teacher is making a presentation, he’ll walk right into the projector beam.

eStarling Digital Photo Frame Accepts Email, Hooks Up With Flickr
By David Ponce Digital picture frames are a dime a dozen. Well, not really, they can get expensive, but the point is they’re usually all the same. The eStarling 2.0 Wi-Fi Photo Frame however adds a couple interesting elements: WiFi connectivity, its own email address and Flickr. So this means that in theory, once you’ve…

Pioneer To Offer HD-licious 20,000:1 Flat Screen TV Line
By David Ponce HDTVs are really starting to kick into the mainstream, and people are paying attention. One of the most important specs to look at when shopping for a new HDTV is the contrast ratio: the deeper the blacks, the clearer and sharper all the other colors will look.

PanDigital’s 15 Inch Digital Picture Frame
By David Ponce At which point does a digital picture frame become a small LCD screen with a fancy border? We’re thinking that 15 inches is pretty darn close to that zone, so we’re wondering about this latest offering from PanDigital. It’s an everyday digital picture frame, with a 1024×768 resolution and integrated 6-in-1 media…
