Sony Vaio Z

Thin and light often means slow and shoddy when it comes to 3D processing, but the Valo Z confounds that expectation.

It doesn't meet the full set of specs lntel requires to use the Ultrabook branding, but it has something none of its rivals do: a plug- in graphics card that gives it the power of a desktop PC when docked. The dock uses a proprietary connector that combines both the Thunderbolt technology used in Apple's MacBooks and a USB3.0- compatible port. Hook it up and it takes the role of charger, Blu-ray player and graphics card. The AMD HD6550M inside the dock won't run Battlefield 3 in super HO, but it's exponentially better than the lntel HD3000 graphics that feature in the laptop itself (and every other machine tested here), making the Vaio a viable desktop replacer.

The rest of the Vaio is less exciting, however. The carbon fibre body may make it lighter than the metal Zenbook, but it feels flimsy and unstable with it. That might not matter if it weren't so expensive, but you can buy a MacBook Air and a proper gaming desktop PC for less. Which means that, impressive as it is, the Vaio remains off - limits to people with only one house.

Samsung UE55D8000 – TV of the year

When we say a TV is ‘’beyond sexy’’, we mean one of twothings: either that it’s a beautifully designed, and has an exquisite pictureand an impressive roster of smart TV apps, or that someone has slipped somethinginto our drink and put your favorite movie on.

SONY PS3 3D DISPLAY

Around 1% ofPS3s are currently connected to 3D TVs - a travesty that Sony hopes to rectify withthis sleek monitor. But while it does 3D, it's the PS3 3D Display's two player talentsthat piqued our interest.

You get two pairs of active 30 glassesin the box -a hint that this is a screen that you're supposed to enjoy in thecompany of another, using the genius SimuiView tech . The specs are lighterthan earlier Sony efforts, making it easy to forget you're wearing them, andthey're universal, so you can use them with other active sets. Plus they charge quickly: each minute gives anhour of action, up to a maximum of 30hours.

Even without the PlayStation logo onthe front it'd be obvious that this monitor is designed to partner a PS3. Itsdistinctive curved edges and glossy finish looked great next to both our chunkyold testing console and our modern slimline one. The uniform blackness alsomakes the 241n screen look biggerthan it is, and it sucks you into the action effectively. it's a mightyslim unit, too.

Monitors and small TVs rarely havegreat sound, so Sony deserves props for attempting to buck the trend with abuilt-in 2.1 system. The Integrated subwoofer may not fill out audio a hugeamount, but effects and voices emerge dearly, so you'll always hear NathanDrake's witty I annoying quips when playing Uncharted 3.

The PS3 Display has all the specs tomake games look great, especially in 3D. Some high-end displays produceslightly deeper pictures, but the Sony strikes a perfect balance betweendramatic depth and image control, In that there's almost no crosstalk ordouble- imaging.

Price:  705 $

Lytro – Update

After I saw that all of you have really appreciate the firstpost on Lytro, I’ve stumble the web and not only and found some additional, extremelyinteresting, information.

Lytro is a new company that presents the first commercial productof a brand new technology. In 2005, the Standford University researchers havecreated the first photo camera based on the light field effect. This shouldoffer images in which all the objects are clear, even though there are in a meterof range or far off in the background. To obtain this effect, between thesensor and the objective is a fine coat of microlens. This separate the lightbeams before they reach the sensor. An app is later used to calculate where wouldthis beams go if the camera would had focus in different points of the profile.

It’s very compact and simplified tothe maximum. The user has twobuttons: the powerand shutter. Atouch-sensitive area in the middle of thedevice allows optical zoomup to 8x. Brightlens has f/2.0 and sensor behind ithas a resolution of 11 mega-rays. No mention here of megapixel images, butone ray of lightcan process the image sensor.

Youdon’t have to be an expert in designto recognize thatthe camera looks great. Compact and well built,it has a screen diagonalsquare 1.46", touchscreen. A little bit smallfor viewing images, it should bereplaced in later editions.Lytro camera savesimages in a RAW formatand after, they areprocessed by special software installed onyour PC. The memory deviceis not expandable. The manufacturer offers two models in threedifferent colors, one with 8 GBand one with 16 GB.The 8 GB to store 350 photosand the 16 GB couldstore 750 frames.

Imageprocessing is absolutely necessary. You can not view themas regular JPEG's.The ability to focusanywhere on the image require the presence of HTML5 or Flash technologies. Thegood part is that images stored on a Lytro server can be embed on any site. The downside is that they have a lowresolution and you can not seethem on your PC without special application.

Lytro cameras can be preorder now onofficial site, deliveries will begin in the firstmonths of 2012. The red, equipped with 16 GBof memory costs$ 500 and the8GB in black orblue, costs $ 400. Our verdict? An interesting technology, but with a limited use. When we seeimages at least with full HD resolution, run on almost any device as aJPEG, then perhaps we will consider the Lytro offer.

MIND-BENDING OBLONG OF OPTICAL GENIUS

These cameras focus the light fromtheir 8x zoom, f2.0 lens onto a microlens array that's bonded to a speciallydesigned sensor, which works like a compound eye to capture information frommany angles. Once you've taken your picture, you can refocus it, change theperspective and even switch from 2D to 3D. That means you'll always get theshot you want - your baby's first smile, a snow leopard stroking a babyseal-rather than a blurry mess with a crisply rendered shrub in the background.Frighteningly dever stuff.

The Lytro can be yours for 400$.

Panasonic TC-P55VT30

The Panasonic TC-P55VT30 (Viera TC-P50GT30) is one of thebest HDTV you can find on the market. Or so it’s said. What are the mainfeatures of the TC-P55VT30? First of all, the 3D viewing. To this you can addfull vivid colors and clear images that offer a realistic viewing experience.

But what are the advantages that may make you buy the PanasonicTC-P55VT30 and the disadvantages that may give you a second thought. 

Panasonic TC-P55VT30 advantages:

1    1.EnhancedPanel: The new design and improved panels are introducing you to InfiniteBlack 2. This will improve the image quality significantly by using smooth and naturalgradation even in a bright ambience. The Panasonic TC-P55VT30 will make yourmovie experience extremely realistic.

2    2.HighResolution: Panasonic TC-P55VT30 comes with full HD 1080p resolution. Alsothe TC-P55VT30 is infused with newly enhanced phosphors to let viewers experienceminimal afterimages, that consisted  atypical issue with older models.

3     3.3D: Amore natural, smoother picture is now available on the Viera TC-P50GT30. This isdue to the fact that the TV analyzes image details in both incoming andsucceeding frames, after which compiles all information in accurate,supplementary, images in between. It’s practically like watching a movie in afull HD cinema.

4    4.FrameSequence: Creates amazing 3D, 1920 by 1080p, images right on your screen.

5    5.Contrast:The TC-P55VT30 produces high contrast images while being green with mothernature. It also adjust the backlight for optimal brightness.

6    6.GameMode: The TV selects automatic the settings to give you super-high gamingexperience.  You can also expect superquick responses.

7     7.Image Viewer: You can use the PanasonicTC-P55VT30 to view your favorite 3D/2D pictures and movies. Also it can read SDcards.

Panasonic TC-P55VT30 disadvantages: 

The disadvantages include thoseproblems that you can get with all LCD TVs and are the most common.

First of all there is the pixels problem. After about 2 years(exactly the time that most of the TVs went out of warranty) you can start seewhite (sometime black) dots on your screen. This are the so called “dead pixels”.A replacement of the screen can be made, but we only advise you to do it onlyif the dots get bigger and bigger and start to affect the image quality. Thescreen replacement can be expensive.

Second problem may be the limited viewing angle. Also acommon problem with LCDs. The idea is that you are watching from an anglebigger than 45° will you start to experience distorted images and there for lowviewing experience.

Panasonic TC-P55VT30 conclusions:

As I said in the beginning, thisis one of the best HDTV you can buy. The downsides are minor, but if you decideto buy one you should read current users of the TC-P55VT30 opinions. But wethink that those who have to say something bad about this TV are close to zero.
