Sanyo’s got some high claims here, boasting of the “world’s highest light output” on its new 15,000 lumen PLC-XF47 projector (pictured), and the “brightest portable LCD projector” in its 6500 lumen PLC-XP100L. Both projectors feature 2000:1 contrast ratios and inputs aplenty.
It’s not just the lamps getting fancy here, Sanyo has packed wireless HD streaming into its PLC-XF47, which can do uncompressed 720p and 1080i video up to 100 feet away with less than a millisecond of latency. The resolution is a mere 1024 x 768, so super HD cinema is a bit of a non-starter, and the $30k pricetag is always a turnoff, but if you need this kind of muscle behind a projector, we’re guessing you’ll figure out a way to scrounge up the cash. The PCL-XP100L matches the resolution, but thirds the pricetag, at $10k. The PLC-XF47 will be out in October, preceeded by the PLC-XP100L in September. If all of this is just too much for you, Sanyo also has the PDG-DXT10L coming in September for $7k and featuring 5200 lumens and a 2100:1 contrast ratio.

Bang & Olufsen is continuing to give a whole new meaning to the term “home theater in a box”. The latest in the BeoVision 7 line is coming to the US this summer, and includes everything; a 40-inch HDTV, 7.1 surround sound speakers, amplifier and a DVD player. As if that wasn’t enough to draw you in, it’s perched on a motorized floor stand that will adjust the display to keep the viewers in the sweet spot.
And like many B&O designs, it includes an electronic curtain glide — because pressing a button to eject a DVD is just too much work. The BeoVision 7 will retail for $13,500 and will be available in an assortment of colors — we’re leaning towards the red.

Looks like we were right about DivX developing some hardware: say hi to the DivX GejBox (no, we’re not spelling that GejBox;-), sorry guys). Basically this thing is a media streaming beta box to test out DivX’s new connected hardware platform initiative, so it’s safe to say that while a select few beta testers will get to play around with a GejBox, this device will most likely never make it to market — at least not in its current form.
(DivX is really trying to get harware-makers to pick up their platform, we don’t think they want to be in the box business.) Still, it does have some interesting features, like S/PDIF, and HDMI, and because the platform is intended to be incredibly extensible, not only do you have the requisite home network video / picture / audio streaming, but it’s also got support for live DivX Stage 6 high-def internet video streaming, and even a Google Video plugin not too different from the YouTube Apple TV plugin we saw debuted at D. Check out the pictures !

They’ve been showing it off for more than a year, now the latest HDTV to wear the “world’s largest” crown is up for retail. On sale starting July with delivery in October, JVC’s 110-inch HD-110MH80 will throw a 1080p, rear-projected image right in the comfort of your very own digs.
Measuring 3-feet deep and 728-pounds, the new RPTC features JVC’s D-ILA technology to achieve that 1920 x 1080 resolution and 5000:1 contrast. Priced at ¥6,400,000 or about $53k when she lands Stateside. Oh, anyone else lovin’ the remote in that press picture above?

Thoughts of site …
The
jvc receiver is a branded apparatus used for proper connectivity to the main electronics, PC, audio and stereo systems. The
dvd recorder is used for the preservation of the visual images on the empty writeable medium. The
jvc cd player is very good device used to enjoy the pleasant stereos. The most popular and reliable brand of electronics is known as
jvc. You may
buy digital cameras from the wholesale stock markets of electronics in the cheap rates.
We don’t know why, but in a game where numbers are king we bring you the world’s smallest HDTV. Measuring in at just 7-inches, Xceive’s “Breckenridge” reference design is currently on display at Computex in Taipei. Unfortunately, Xceive is only showing off their XC5000 silicon tuner in the press release, but we’ve got a sneaking suspicion that they’re using that SanyoSeiko-Epson 7.1-inch, 1080p-capable LCD panel (pictured) first floated back in October. Xceive’s contribution to the 16:9 HDTV is the crazy small, 2.75 x 4.75-inch main board capable of receiving all 18 ATSC formats or NTSC signals via terrestrial or cable implementations. Unfortunately, you’ll have to sit about 6-inches away from the display for all those pixels to matter. Still, it is just a reference design. In other words, Xceive is looking for someone with the manufacturing skills to take this to market. Sammy, Sony, Philipps… any takers? Read-on to peep the XC5000 chip just for kicks.

Apple is known for the high profit margins on its consumer electronics, but according iSupply Apple is only making $62 (or about 20%) on each Apple TV. As you’d guess the most expensive component is a slimmed down version of Intel’s Pentium M processor at about $40, and the cheapest is the $0.75 RealTek audio chip. The new 160GB version’s margin is much nicer at more than 30%, but only because Apple charges a $100 premium for an option that only costs an extra $36 to make. These low margins really make us wonder why Apple even bothers with this hobby. Of course the obvious reason is that Apple plans to make up the cash selling content, and maybe even more importantly: to get into your living room. While this seems like a great plan and all, we can’t help but get stuck on the fact there still isn’t any HD content from Apple for a device that supposedly requires a HDTV.
