It’s a TV stand to behold. We are talking in the language of Horgan Becket, which is a Brooklyn based architecture and design firm. Well, this ‘not so much heard of’ company has grabbed everyone’s attention thanks to a spectacularly television unit created by their extremely talented team. The concept works well for it blends the traditional with the modern to give a fine aesthetic expression never seen before.

Horgan Becket has made use of cast iron insteadof the wood venner which seems to be a more popular choice in the present day decor requirements. And that is just the reason why they are winning kudos from all over. Well, at least someone is daring to be different and pleasing at the same time!
That said, the company also offers the option of complete customisation. So just in case cast iron stand mounted on wheels does not work well for you, do not fret because you can choose from other components too. All this is done while maintaining Horgam Becket’s art of designing and crafting. At a price of $12,000, you deserve nothing but the best from this brand.

We have just discovered some new Television remote controls by Sony Japan. These remote controls have simple basic functions and they come with big buttons. This will make it easier for the users to see the buttons and change the channels easily. These remote controls are waterproof. Thank God somebody at least came up with a waterproof remote control. Mine just stopped functioning as I accidentally poured water on it.Now I can care less if it happens again.

These Sony remote controls are compatible with most TV manufacturers. They will be on sale from September 10 onwards at but only in Japan. They will be available for 2468 Yen ($29). They come in five different colors. Interestingly, the remote controls have sharp numbered buttons but the button no. zero is printed on the button no. 10 in a small size.

I wonder why they had to do this. Probably Sony wanted to save some space for other purposes. Nevertheless, it’s not a bad deal considering it’s a water-proof remote control. My only worry is if this will ever be available in other places apart from Japan.

We all have a horrible-horrible taste in television. With an opening statement as scathing as that you will indeed agree that there is always something the matter with the whole experience of TV viewing that renders it incomplete. But there is a cure in the form of the TV Easel that will set you back by a cool $1,000.

This little piece of furniture will let you balance your television at a 70-degree angle on reclaimed oak. As a result, the idiot box will earn itself a newfound respect in your decor. The easel works along the principle of glasses that when worn by a dork can make him/her look like an intellectual.

The TV Easel has been made in solid hardwood with an integrated component storage and wire managements system. Topping it all is a hand-applied, four-step antiqued ebony finish that really does the magic for the looks of this product. Plus it also can be doubled as an easel for other display items like artwork, mirrors and so on.

Panasonic has launched two new HDTVs which look as slick and chic as a Parisian designer’s creation. They have unveiled the V10 series which come with NEO PDP panels. Also, there are three colour modes and many other features like user controlled gray setting and other such features. They are available in 50″, 54″, 58″ and 65″ versions.

All these HDTVs are better than the G10 series and come with amazing features such as Digital Cinema Colour, and Digital Cinema Initiative. You would get amazing picture clarity and audio quality. There are effective analogue and digital noise reduction features and if you are looking for brightness controls, you would find them in the V10 series.

The 96Hz display makes watching movies and playing games a more enjoyable experience than its predecessors. By eliminating film judders, you would get a smoother motion picture. TC-P54V10 may cost around $2600 and is worth every cent that you would spend on it.

It is not just Sony that seems to have struck a golden deal with Netflix, but even LG seems to have gotten on the same bandwagon and in case of LG, it is sooner than later. While most HDTV set owners believed that Sony would be the first company to offer TV sets that could instantly and automatically connect and stream feed from Netflix, LG has beaten them to the punch by bringing out new 47-inch LCD HDTV and the 50-inch plasma HDTV PS80 that already are capable of doing the exact same.

These LG behemoths have full HD 1080p resolution and you can just queue up your favorite movies and television shows from Netflix and then watch them at your convenience. The new TVs need no external additional device to access this feature and they even can double up as a computer with HD display. It seems at this point that LG has partnered with Yahoo! to avail the feature and with more companies likely to jump in, it is the consumer who will finally profit with loads of entertainment options.

There is nothing new about being able to surf the net, watch television and do so many other things on a cell phone. Everyday there is a new cell phone in the market with latest features that come copiously. However, the cell phone designed by Seokwon Hong might just keep you spellbound. He augments the features of this cell phone by allowing you to transform your mobile phone into a big-screen TV.

You can watch movies or play your favorite games on the cell phone itself just the way you do on your television. His goal was to design a cell phone on which he could watch television and, now he has reached beyond his goal. The cell phone also comes with an additional feature that allows you to expand your screen to nearly any dimension depending on how many brix bezel-less mobile phones you have. In addition to these features, the cell phone also enables you to have conversations with other Brix users.

Now, this sounds like, you can create your own social networking site with other fellow Brix users. Nevertheless, an unconventional concept such as this might perhaps be very expensive for a cell phone!
