I love people that would do anything to see their dreams come true. In fact, it’s more about “spend as much as required to see their dreams come true” than anything else, but nothing compares to the feeling you get after working year after year to achieve a goal, even if this goal and the amount of money spent may be ridiculous to some. Today, I just found out about a home cinema system worth 6 million US dollars, and you have to see it, because I think it’s simply great, despite the fact I wouldn’t wish for something similar, even if I had those money…

Now, I should tell you about the Sony insane-resolution (4,096 X 2,160) SRX-S110 digital projector, the sound system capable of reproducing frequencies between 10Hz and 100kHz, basically an 8.8 system, but with countless sets of individual speakers, as well as the horde of players and sources used or the impressive cooling system of the whole thing. Should I give you more details?

NO, no more details! That’s it! Why? I am simply stunned. Just take one more look at the image below…

Now, that’s what I call “HD home cinema”! …and if you want to know more and, maybe, buy one similar setup, go here…

I love Sony for all they have done so far, but most of all, for the Trinitron technology. I had 2 monitors using Trinitron tubes, and I loved them. Anyway, this is not about me, and despite the fact it’s about Sony, it’s not about their Trinitron technology either. To make a long story short, I will say only this: Sony is now Number One!!

Well, I must repeat this - I love Sony, but I am not addicted to them (in fact, I have an LG LCD monitor now). Moving to the subject, you should know the news is about Sony’s evolution on the American LCD HDTV market, so here we go…

According to a study coming from the research group DisplaySearch, during the last quarter of 2007, Sony was the top seller of LCD HDTVs in North America! This is even more impressive, if we consider the fact that, in the third quarter, Sony didn’t even catch the podium, arriving in the fourth position. Now, they got the first place, followed by Samsung, the previous market leader, and Vizio.

At last, when talking about Plasma HDTVs, it’s no surprise finding Panasonic on the first position, with a market share almost double as its follower, Samsung, which only got a bit over 20 percent of the Plasma HDTV market.

When it comes to LCD TVs, it seems today the battle between the industry’s giants is reduced to screen size, digital image enhancement chips, connectivity, and as many features as possible, with each new model. Anyway, while some like it big, others like their TV to be easy to carry around, and some would go as far as to carry their TV in the pocket. Exactly for them, Sony created the smallest BRAVIA model so far, XDV-G500, as well as the XDV-G200, which is just a bit different…

NEC’s MultiSync family of LCD monitors already has a lot of members, but that’s doesn’t mean there’s no room for new ones. In fact, NEC has just announced the upcoming release of a new “almost 30-inch” LCD monitor for professionals, and revealed some pictures and technical details. If you are not just a regular computer user looking for a large LCD monitor, and you don’t think over 2,500USD is too much for your budget, then read on…
