California gets closer to implementing tough new energy standards for all TVs sold in the state. The California Energy Commission unveiled the new standards today, which will be followed by a 45-day public comment period. The commission is expected to approve the measure in early November. The rules, which took more than a year to develop, are designed to shave $8.1 billion off Californians' electricity bills over a 10-year-period. That works out to $30 per set per year, according to commission officials. Television viewing is at an all-time high across the country, estimated at eight hours a day. Realize this is the sum of viewing multiple TVs in one household, not a measurement for...

Move over Sony, it looks like LG's 15 inch OLED is now that much closer to dethroning you from the world's biggest (and only) production OLED TV. The new 15 inch model beats Sony's XEL-1 by a whopping 4 inches (actually 4 inches is a lot, when we're talking sizes this small).It looks like the new TV will be available in December. We don't know any of the specs from the new TV although you can be assured that they will be similar to Sony's XEL-1 with a stunning contrast ratio and super long life spans. You can also sleep well knowing that the new model will also be razor thin. Start saving your pennies now cause I'm sure this TV won't be cheap.Check out the latest TVs and reviews at...

You've probably seen the videos out there somewhere that show how impossibly thin an OLED screen can be. If you haven't check out our clip from PMA of OLED thinness; from the side it almost disappears. But I'm off topic. OLED is the definition of thin and would laugh at LCD's attempts to shed a centimeter or two ... until now. Samsung's 8.9 mm OLED was the king of thin, but JVC just trumped that record and drove Samsung into the dust with a 6.4 mm thick LCD SCREEN. Yeah pretty impressive ... but wait, there is a catch.Sure they can technically say the GD-32X1 is 6.4 mm because it is ... at its thinnest point. The screen is only 6.4 mm, but they've bundled all the important stuff like...

It's literally glorified stalking, but in a Hollywood "now it's cool and more restraining orders equals more points" kind of way. At least, that's the first impression we got as we read about plans to use Twitter as the main focus of a new and improved upcoming reality show. Like there aren't enough of them out there (Tweeters, stalkers and reality shows). What startles us is that there are actual legitimate companies and people considering the new Twitter TV seriously ... could it really work?Reveille and Brillstein Entertainment, you may have heard of some of their projects like "Ugly Betty" or "The Office", have been in talks with Twitter to create a television show pulling heavily from...

Just when you though HDTVs couldn't get any sillier better, JVC has released a new TV which is the first to encompass 100 percent of HDTV broadcasting's color space and 96 percent for Adobe RGB. This color space compatibility is ideal for viewing images taken with your new digital SLR.I have to admit, I don't fully understand the reason for this TV's existence. The TV is marketed for "professionals." I would like to think that a professional who edits photos and video frequently would have a higher resolution monitor than the standard 1080p HDTV. Ok, so the TV does have all the standard features one would expect from a new HD set. It also has a bunch of color controls for your photos. But...

Of the many high definition displays today, rear projection televisions (RPTVs) still provide the best image quality. They are not fixed pixel displays like flat-panel; thus providing sharper, crisper images and have overcome most rainbow, ghosting, and artifact effects. Their physical size might scare off those on the fence, but those who value picture quality will accommodate their added depth over their flat-panel competitors.There are four types of rear projection technology: CRT, LCD, DLP, and LCoS. CRT is outdated and just doesn’t have the technology; LCD and DLP make up most of the current RPTV market; and LCoS is only offered by JVC currently. DLPs are likely what...
