LG's Borderless TVs debut in Singapore

LG's SL80 and SL90 HDTVs have been creating quite a buzz on the Web ever since their announcement at the IFA tradeshow in Berlin earlier this year. The SL90, in particular, has been widely seen as LG's answer to Samsung's popular "LED TV" range (the B6000, B7000 and B8000 series), with the former sporting a superslim 29mm depth over the latter’s 29.9mm-thin profile. The Borderless TV moniker comes from LG’s seamless edge-to-edge panel design.

Editors' note:

The LG SL80 and SL90 HDTVs are now available in the Asia Pacific region, including India and Australia. The SL8000- and SL9000-series are the European equivalents of the Asia models.

Yamaha sound bar goes HD audio

The upcoming Yamaha YSP-5100 is probably the first sound bar compatible with high-resolution Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio in simulated 7.1-channel surround sound. If that is not enough, this sleek boombox even comes standard with five HDMI inputs and wireless iPod support out-of-the-box. Other niceties include automatic surround sound calibration and an optional subwoofer output to boost overall bass reproduction. According to Yamaha, the 1.2m-long YSP-5100 will ideally match a 50-inch HDTV and is due out in Japan end of this month for a whopping US$2,280.

BenQ's latest HDTV is a pretty humble 42-incher

Are you surprised that BenQ is still manufacturing HDTVs? Though the Taiwanese company has withdrawn from this segment in most Asian countries, it's still active in its home turf and selected markets. Its new SQ4242 is a living room-centric 42-incher that comes with a full-HD-resolution screen, 20,000:1 dynamic contrast and three HDMI 1.3 inputs. While these are not jaw-dropping specifications worth shouting about, this model will retail for an auspicious NT$29,888 (US$930), which makes the flat panel somewhat affordable. Furthermore, the SQ4242 features BenQ's unique Senseye True Color technology, delivering a suite of video-enhancement functions ranging from brightness and contrast to sharpness and noise-reduction processing.

Universal rolls out double-sided Blu-ray/DVD discs

Universal is set to roll out the first Blu-ray/DVD "flipper discs"--a single, dual-sided disc that contains Blu-ray on one side and DVD on the other. The Bourne trilogy (Identity, Supremacy, Ultimatum) will be the first movies to get the dual-sided treatment, with all three discs coming out on January 19.

The flipper discs are a good idea, as one of the biggest drawbacks to Blu-ray is that new movies you buy can't be played in DVD players. That loss of flexibility can be a real pain in locations other than your home theater (car, plane, bedroom), where you probably haven't upgraded to Blu-ray yet.
