BeoVision 10 – The Slimmest Flat Screen TV

It almost seems like an optical illusion but it’s not –it is BeoVision 10, the thinnest flat screen TV Bang & Olufsen has ever created. It is aimed to be mounted or to hang on your wall, along with other artwork. The design of this slim TV is very simple. It has a black glass square in a slender polished aluminum frame. This frame is curved and angled correctly to provide you an optical illusion. The shift to the loudspeaker’s taut fabric cover is hardly noticeable.

At the back of the Beovision 10 is a hidden wall bracket that allows you to swing out the screen at up to 45 degrees angle. This enables viewing from a different location or sitting down on the floor with your family and friends to play active video games. Despite its being flat on the wall, this flat screen TV is big on sound. It remains loyal to the renowned Bang & Olufsen’s tradition of producing excellent sounding televisions. To achieve this, the Beovision 10 comes equipped with first-rate speakers and amplifiers that are built into the cabinet.

Further, the Beovision 10 comes with the latest LED backlight technology which makes the screen slimmer and more power efficient than traditional LCDs. Thanks to the TV’s advanced judder cancellation, you can be sure that motion on the screen is really smooth. Best is, you are free to change the TV’s front cover with its magnetic front cover solution. True, changing Television color to suit the mood or the theme of your room has never been this easy!

701 Jewelry Computer – Think Ironman in Gold and Swarovski Armor

701-jewelry-computer

All show and no go. That is how I would describe one of the most expensive jewelry PC, the 701 Jewelry revealed in Korea. Designed by Moneual, it has so much show power that it puts the –ling sound in bling-bling with its 3,554 pieces of Swarovski Signature crystals. These adorn the buttons, edges and screen frame, enough to put any rapper to shame. The casing is graciously plated with gold and brass which means this luxury computer is literally a heavyweight at 35 kilograms and with its bulky cylindrical appearance, it may need quite a few interior planning on where to place this PC.

Equipped with the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processor and an ATI Radeon HD 4000 GPU, I say it has good specs enough even to handle upcoming graphically-demanding games. But with all the flashes and sparkles of crystals and gold, I doubt that even doing a simple word document would be a simple task. There is also the issue of the 7-inch touchscreen. It’s not much space to work on but at least it is touch screen, which adds to the flair. With an estimated price tag of a staggering $30,000.00, we can always dream and look at this website for the luxury many of us couldn’t have.

Well if you only have a hundred or so dollars to spare, and you don’t mind foregoing the Swarovski, you might want to take a look at some high-end rigs right here.
