As we get closer to Star Trek’s Holodeck concept, Hitachi exhibited its new 3D display technology that doesn’t need glasses in CEATEC the other day. The 10-inch display, dubbed “Full Parallax 3D TV” can be watched from any direction with a resolution of 640×480. The company manages to project the 3D images using 16 projectors and a lens array sheet to cover them, which ensures parallax in any direction.

When ATI announced the 5870 and 5850, with superbly high performance and HD audio bitstream support, we knew it was only a matter of time before they announced and released cheaper cards relying on the same technology with these ground breakingly high performers. Enter Radeon HD 5770 and 5750! Priced at $159 and $109 respectively, the two card are easy on the budget, while still maintaining their positions as high performers with a computing power of over 1 TFLOPS. The early reviews found 5770’s performance to be almost as high as ATI’s past generation star, the 4890.
Another upside of these two mainstream graphics adapters is, of course, HD audio bitstream support for transmitting untouched, HD quality Dolby Digital Plus and DTS HD MA audio to supporting home theater receivers. This translates to HTPC users losing the dedicated audio card in their system while upgrading their graphics adapter. I personally have been using a Sound Blaster X-Fi card with my system and have been waiting for Auzentech’s HD audio solution (and it’s availability where I live). ATI’s latest offerings look almost perfect to me. I’ll probably want to see like products from nVidia as well, as their drivers tend to agree with me more. If you’re system is generally problem-free with ATI’s drivers, I’d strongly suggest these two cards for HTPC systems…
Here are some reviews of the two cards:

TDK Corp developed a write-once optical disc holding within 10 layers and 320 GBs of storage space. The media uses the same kind of blue laser as Blu-ray and manages to offer such large storage spaces with the help of its almost transparent outermost layer which reduces the need for a more powerful laser.

With the help of its half-mirror system the HFR Comfort-3D, Sony’s new/upcoming HD camera, does 3D with a single lens instead of two. With 240fps recording, we’ll sure see nice slo-mo’s in 3D!

Although blank media prices are my main concern for Blu-Ray, it’s good to see the main players in the game release better and faster products each day. Although there isn’t any BD-R media that officially supports 12x writing speeds, Pioneer’s latest burner is a step in the right direction, without a doubt. Now, let’s get these media prices lower shall we??
This one’s a promising development. Mobile and electronics giants Nokia, Samsung, Silicon Image, Sony and Toshiba are collaborating to create a new audio/video link that can carry HD content to HDTVs. The single-cable solution with a low pin count interface will also be able to provide power to the portable devices, as well as being able to support up to Full HD resolution digital video and HD audio. Press release after the break…
There’s always room for better media players for Full HD TVs and here’s a nice review of the Mede8er Multimedia Monster. Click the via link for the full review…

Although I do love AMD’s CPUs, I’m not a real fan of Radeon graphic cards (due to the driver related problems I have had with them). But still I do admire the technology and horsepower behind them. The Radeon HD 5800 series seems to be a monster that will be very hard to contain on a simple graphics board.
I’m still eagerly waiting for graphics cards that transmit bitstream HD audio though. HTPC users know what I mean… Press release after the break…
EDIT: ATI Radeon HD 5870 does bitstream HD audio! It’s only a matter of time cheaper models with bitstreaming get released too.
Microsoft’s new beauty seems to be selling fast according to figures made public by Gizmodo. Amazon and BestBuy seem to have both the 16GB and 32GB versions on back-order, while Buy.com and Newegg seem to be able to ship only the 32GB version for the time being. Microsoft does have both in stock, and with the option to engrave! So, in short, it’s easy to do the math for this one. If you create such a beauty and put in a flavor of great features… it sells!

It took Auzentech a while to get the product together but the X-Fi HomeTheater HD was finally released a few months back with all its HDMI 1.3a glory. After reports started coming in, claiming that the sound card caused static & noise on older Denon receivers, Auzentech approached the problem with maturity and started posting open letters to all its customers and the subscribers to their news feeds. They’re explaining every step they take towards fixing this issue and I must say I love Auzentech’s open approach. They reported that they reproduced the problem on a newly acquired Denon receiver (model dating back to before 2008) and I’m sure they will get the hang of it in no time.
