By mydz on Oct 15, 2009 No Comments

HDTVHave you been waiting for an update to last year’s Samsung LN46A950, which uses local-dimming LED technology? Be glad because the wait is over! Samsung has released three series of super slim, LED based LCDs so far this year, the 6000, the 7000, and the 8000 models, but it has saved the best for last. The fourth series is dubbed UNB8500. Unlike the other three Samsung models, which use LED elements arranged along the edge of their screens, the UN55B8500 employs LED local dimming behind the screen, yet maintain an ultra-slim profile. As a result, this HDTV handily outperforms its brothers.

Coming in at 1.6 inches deep at its thickest point and tapering even thinner toward the edges of the panel, the UN55B8500 comes with an incredible 7,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio so colors are bolder and brighter and images are sharper. This HDTV also boasts Auto Motion Plus 240Hz technology which eliminates virtually all motion blur leaving your picture smooth and crisp – and your jaw dropped. And there’s no excuse anymore for leaving all those great pictures and videos in your cameras or storage devices. Thanks to the USB 2.0 Movie: Multi-media Center feature – you can connect your digital camera, thumb drive, even your MP3 player – quickly and easily. The smart, user-friendly USB 2.0 interface allows you to access videos, playlists and pictures with your remote. Now anytime can be Showtime!HDTV2

Can’t decide if you’d rather watch TV, see your pictures on Flickr or check your stocks on Yahoo? Do it all with the UN55B8500. It features Internet@TV to let you watch, add, or delete contents from Yahoo, Flickr, and other online TV Widgets – right on your screen. See, there’s so much you can do with Samsung 8 LED TVs. The UN55B8500 is also supported by a unique stand with an elegant, crystal-clear neck – so you’ll have no trouble finding a place for one in any room, and comes with a pebble shaped remote control.

The Samsung UN55B8500 55-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LED HDTV is now available and can be purchased at Amazon, which is about $450 cheaper than its suggested retail price.

MSI X-Slim X400 14-Inch Laptop Coming Soon

By mydz on May 14, 2009 No Comments

msi-x-slim-x400

Taiwan-based MSI is apparently planning to launch a new 14-inch variant of its freshly released line of ultra-portable, slim computer systems, dubbed X-Slim series. The company’s latest X-Slim laptop will be marketed as the X400 and will likely be launched in time for this year’s Computex computer show, held in Taipei between June 2 and June 6.

Although there are no official details and complete specifications being presented at this time, the system will likely be built on the same Intel CULV platform that is featured inside MSI’s other X-Slim notebooks, including the X320, X340, and X600. Also, like the X600, the X400 is reportedly to be offered in black, white, and silver colors.

Again, hard specifications on the X400 are unavailable except for the 1.4GHz Core 2 Duo as the X340, 2GB of RAM and a roughly 320GB hard drive, but none of that information has been confirmed by MSI. So, unfortunately, we still have to wait for the official specifications of the new model, which will likely become available or will be revealed in time for Computex 2009 in Taipei, Taiwan.

No words on pricing and availability also for this 14-inch laptop. We just expect it to be inexpensive because MSI’s systems always come in affordable prices consequently making them accessible to a wider range of users.

In the meantime, you might want to find yourself an MSI X-Slim netbook here at bargain prices.
