Nikon CoolPix P100, the compact superzoom camera that got straight to our hearts with its five-way stabilized 26x optical zoom lens, HDR functionality and the ability to shoot H.264 video at 1080p, has just become available with various retailes for a rather afforadable $400
AMD ATi has announced their latest DirectX 11 capable video card, the ATi Radeon HD 5570. It is part of the budget-range 5500 series targeted specially at HTPC setups. It has been specifically designed for fitting in low-profile cases. It supports 1080p HD output through HDMI 1.3a with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.
More details below.
The LC47SB57UT, a high-end HDTV set which would normally cost you around $1200, is now available for just under $800 through one of Dell’s Cyber Monday deals. If you’re still using your old television set from years ago, now is the time to consider upgrading to a high-quality piece of equipment.
You have all probably heard of or seen ads of Nokia’s flagship smartphone, the Nokia N97, a big chunky touchscreen smartphone with lots of goodies, but with a price-tag capable of keeping the gadget-crazy but cash-strapped geeks ( like me ) away. Well, Nokia probably doesn’t care that Chinese electronics firm, Eston, has come out with a new “N97″ MID. Yea, it’s another one of those better-than-a-smartphone, but not-yet-PC crossbreed aimed at providing portable web browsing pleasure. Well, it’s good, in a way. You can now go to the fridge without having to stop browsing.
More details about the 7-inch tablet device follows below the cut.
Asus has announced the latest in their EEEBox line of “nettops”. The new EEEBox 1501 is based on the nVidia Ion platform. While details are still sketchy, some pictures were revealed at a press conference in Munich.
The nettop packs a dual core Atom N330 processor and upto 4GB of DDR2 RAM coupled with nVidia’s Ion chipset. Storage is in the form of a 250 GB hard drive. One of the biggies being touted by Asus is the 1080p High Definition output capability via HDMI. Connectivity is available in the form of Gigabit Ethernet and the 802.11n wireless. 802.11n is the new wifi system standardised by IEEE recently which offers speeds of upto 300Mbps.
The botch of wires with those High Definitions is somewhat of a botheration and no matter how quality the viewership you get, those wires always tend to disturb you. LG has come with a solution for those wires by eliminating them from the very core and substituting them with a wireless transmitter box. The LG LH85 series and 55LHX are the two wireless HDTVs introduced by the Korean electronics giant and they sure take care of that fuss of wires.
Asus is the kind of manufacturer that never wants the market to be stagnant with similar designs and therefore it keeps offering better products to break the monotony. This time around, Asus has resorted to the MS LCD display series which is superior in design quality and the technology it offers.
The MS Series is finished in glossy black bezel and measures only 16.5mm in thickness, so you can well imagine the first impression when you come across a screen such as this.
Sony keeps getting better and better with its BRAVIA LED HDTVs and this time around the attempt was to get even slimmer with its just announced Sony ZX5 series. The latest range of LED HDTVs is about sheer quality and its presence is felt with ‘touches’ like 240Hz of Flow Motion, Integrated Wireless Streaming and edge-mounted LED backlighting.
Such features do add a lot of overall quality to the product, but here, Sony wants you to focus on the reduction is thickness and that is a courtesy of a separate media receiver which is wirelessly connected.
Samsung is not the only company to tackle the green minded, as it looks like BenQ is shifting to an environment conscious policy by announcing the newBenQ V-series Eco Displays.

The AQUOS LED LE700 features Full-Array LED backlight system and boasts UltraBrilliant LED backlight technology for high brightness and contrast levels.
