Toshiba Glasses Free 3D TV

CES 2011, TVs, , , ,

Toshiba was demonstrating lots of 3D TVs in their booth at CES. 3D was the big buzz word at last year’s CES show and I wasn’t impressed.

This year all the major companies were showing 3D TVs and the technology (and price points) have improved. There are a number of issues surrounding 3D: cost, lack of content, multiple 3D technologies, and having to wear the stupid 3D glasses.

Well, Toshiba was showing off a “glasses free” 3D TV. The demo was interesting but you could tell it’s was a first generation product. You needed to be right in front of the display to see the 3D effects and it still wasn’t as good as viewing with glasses.

I don’t believe “glasses free” 3D TV (or 3D TV in general) is here for everyone, but there’s always next year.

Roku XDS Turning on USB Port!

CES 2011, TVs, ,

My favorite product of 2010 the Roku box which is now residing in over 1 million consumer homes. The Roku XDS is now entering major retail stores so availability is going to be increasing. They are working with new partners to bring new content to the device. Announced at CES 2011 they are turning on the USB feature which allows you to play back your own files via USB which will be turned on over the next couple of weeks.

With many major players and more to come the Roku is at a price point anyone can own one.

Eventually, we will have our Over the Top TV solutions right into the TV. It was only a matter of time before a company like Boxee would start to do this. ViewSonic answered that call with the new DT.

Boxee will be integrated in the TV, plug in Ethernet and go. It also frees up your HDMI 1 port. The ViewSonic TV already has 4 HDMI1 ports, so you can connect up multiple devices.

The TV is expected to be out by June.
