Samsung and 3LCD team up for first 3LCD LED projector


Samsung and 3LCD (you know where they’re heading by the names alone) have joined forces, and this time round their collaboration has resulted in the first 3LCD LED projector in the world known as the F10M. The announcement of the Samsung F10M was made earlier this year at CES 2010, and will also hold another record by being the first LED-based projector with 1,000 lumens in the world. Offering a light life of up to over 30,000 hours as well as XGA resolution, you will be able to throw an image size range from 40″ to 300″, complete with HDMI input and PC connectivity. 3LCD’s technology offers efficient use of light, and thanks to its LED light source, the F10M is able to offer customers an extremely energy efficient projector option, while making it the brightest LED projector in the projection industry simultaneously.

Apart from its pretty impressive specifications for an LED projector, this model also comes with instant on/off functionality, which basically means it does not require any noticeable warm up time at all, letting it produce a nearly instantaneous projected image when turned on. According to Tom Grau, senior product marketing manager for Samsung Electronics Co., “Utilizing 3LCD technology in the F10M was an obvious choice. The technology advantages offered by the 3LCD architecture ensure the F10M provides customers with an incredibly bright and energy efficient projector, and when paired with an LED light source, even more amazing color and image quality.”

To get a better idea of what 3LCD’s features and technological advantages offer, they include a 3-Chip Optical Engine which is able to deliver incredibly bright, true-to-life color. Not only that, 3LCD projectors are able to offer high Color and White Light Output so images, video and text always look their very best. Without the need for a spinning color wheel to produce color, it will not suffer from “the rainbow effect” or “color break-up” that we normally see with LCD projectors. No word on pricing just yet, but it ought to hit the market pretty soon.

Wi-Fi Connected Power Strip

If you are like me, you have “that desk” in your house that is sort of the hub for digital information. On the desk is a laptop or desktop computer, and all kinds of accessories. Chances are, all of these devices are plugged in to a power strip, and they are a source of great power consumption on your monthly electric bill. This power strip by Japan-based Ubiquitous is the iRemoTap, and it has a built-in Wi-Fi module. The purpose of the Wi-Fi is so it can send information to connected devices in the household. The iRemoTap can automatically send out some sort of message like an email or tweet so you know how much energy that you are consuming. In fact, you can program this thing for a preset level, so you can make energy goals and hopefully keep them. I guess you will have to know what levels your devices have, of course. I don’t really know that off the top of my head. So is this the wave of the future? All of us knowing how much power we consume and making

Light Radio

I’m probably dating myself, but I actually owned one of the first cell phones, admit it, some of you remember… It came attached to a darn suitcase, and seemed to weigh about 5 pounds. I was pretty proud of it, and come to think of it, the reception was pretty good too! But look how far we’ve come… As cell phones have become smaller and owning one is now almost compulsory, those unsightly antennas of steel topped by all the necessary transmitters and gizmos that we call cell towers have invaded practically every landscape known to man. So let us welcome Alcatel-Lucent’s lightRadio. Imagine if you will, much smaller antennas, some tiny enough to hold in your hand. A device like that could be placed anywhere, on lamp or utility poles on buildings, heck, anywhere with electrical and network connections. Seriously, a cell tower in a box! If they can iron out a few details, it could upend the wireless industry and offer amazing service, fantastic voice and data transmission
