If you have been reading you know that I will be purchasing a Plasma soon but what if you want to wait. Not a bad idea. Look what is coming:
Idiot box advances from around the globe. Don't change that channel!
Share the set without using picture-in-picture
Never again battle the wife for the remote. Sharp's Dual-View LCD can show two programs at the same time, both in full-screen view. The trick is made possible by parallax-barrier technology, which makes one image visible only from the left and the other image visible only from the right. Depending on how you're positioned in front of the tube, you might be watching Monday Night Football or 30-Minute Meals With Rachael Ray.
View 3-D displays without the dorky glasses
Toshiba is developing an honest-to-God holographic TV that lets viewers watch shows in 3-D without the old-timey separation of blues and reds. The unit projects stereoscopic images from a flatbed display that, presumably, will revolutionize the way we play video games (remember the chess scene in Star Wars?) and watch shitcoms like According to Jim.
Beyond plasma
Imagine combining the superior picture qual-ity of a CRT and the sexy dimensions of a plasma, and you get the basic idea behind FEDs (field emission displays), an impressive new TV technology being spearheaded by Samsung and Sony. The companies have discovered a way to create itty-bitty carbon nanotubes that produce hi-def images in a svelte package. Toshiba and Canon, meanwhile, are cooking up a similar alternative called SED. Stay tuned.
Analog broadcasts be gone
At first broadcasters were given until December 31, 2006, to abandon the 70-plus-year-old analog spectrum and go totally digital. But thanks to some serious foot-dragging on the part of networks, the deadline has been pushed back to 2009. When the day of reckoning finally arrives, TVs still employing antennas to snatch programming off the airwaves will cease to work. Sorry, poor people.
More later
