LG TV TN-50PY20

The elegant black plasma TV TN-50PY20 is truly appealing even when powered off. Special feature is the double-layer housing construction giving the unit a three-dimensional character. The speakers are invisibly integrated into the housing, underlining the puristic design. Mounted on the wall, placed on a tabletop or an aluminium floor stand, the set, with a depth of merely 38mm, adapts itself discreetly to all living room spaces.

Projecta Art 110

Instead of designing yet another plasma screen, wissmann raumobjekte designed a contemporary entertainment surface with precisely the same diagonal size as the traditional big-screen television; only it showcases the projected light from an overhead projector. Comes with custom loudspeaker mount for surround sound, and a variety of color options for the frame.

Xbox 360 does DivX

Very cool. Casey at Brains-N-Brawn has figured out a way to stream DivX video to the Xbox 360 using Windows Media Endcoder (via HD Beat). This is great news for all us lazy people who would otherwise need a program like Videora Xbox360 Converter to manually transcode each video into Xbox compatible WMV. But there's is one catch, though, you have to be somewhat computer savvy to get this hack up and running. Nonetheless, it's nice to see progress in this area since Microsoft doesn't feel compelled to offer support for competing formats that users want and are currently petitioning for. Note: mceDivX360 actually tricks Windows Media Encoder to transcode DivX files into Xbox supported WMV on the fly.
