Sigma Designs has been dabbling in wireless HD technologies for eons, so we aren’t going to get too excited until we see this here system-on-chip (SoC) actually hit some products that we care about. Still, the CoAir is a fairly sweet concept, wrapping integrated wireless, coax and gigabit Ethernet capabilities into one single chip aimed at whole home networking. Put simply (or as simply as possible), this chip is the world’s first to “simultaneously deliver multiple independent streams of video and data over coax cable, Ethernet cable and wirelessly without compromising quality of service and throughput.” Based on the WiMedia standard, it can reach speeds of up to 480Mbps with UWB (ultra-wideband) wireless streaming, and room-to-room linkage via UWB-over-coax can peg those same rates. What we have here is a great basis for building a whole home server on, but until said device emerges and performs flawlessly, we’ll just smile and carry on.

Dust those cobwebs out and strain that memory, won’t you? Surely you haven’t forgotten about JVC’s pair of “world’s thinnest” LCD HDTVs; after all, they were just announced at CES. Whatever the case, the 42-inch LT-42SL89 and 46-inch LT-46SL89 HDTVs are both proud members of the outfit’s Procision series and boast a cabinet that “across most of its width measures a mere 1.5-inches, with a maximum depth of just 2.9-inches at the panel’s center.” Of course, each set also includes a TV tuner, three HDMI inputs, two component jacks and one S-Video / VGA port to complement the USB picture viewer, illuminated remote and touch-sensitive buttons on the front panel. Both super-slim units will hit retail stores next month for $1,899.99 and $2,399.99, respectively.

Wow, this thing IS pretty amazing, when can I buy one for $2000?
One thing for sure, Comcast has money to burn…
The media wall covers an area of over 2100 square feet and uses four-millimeter LED lights, packed together as one giant, seamless array. It plays all manner of video, and even cool segments where three-dimensional-looking dancers seem to hover in thin air at five times the resolution of HD television.

Bargain alert! No need to liquidate every asset you own to bring home (wherever “home” would end up being) one of Sharp’s 108-inch LCD HDTVs, as Westinghouse has just announced that its 56-inch D56QX1 Quad HD display will be on sale as of this month for half of that. Yeah, we’ve seen it (along with its 52-inch sibling) around forever, but we’re thrilled to hear that a handful of affluent aficionados will finally have the pleasure of watching one in their 4,800 square foot den.

One of our friends “Marcio” has requested for the Projectors category, there you are. The above is the Samsung P400 Pocket Projector, a portable projector. It is now available in the US and it comes in glossy black finish and features 800 x 600, a contrast ratio of 1,000 : 1, and 150 ANSI lumens. Other than that it also include a remote control, two 1Watt speakers, RGB, Composite, S-Video, and stereo audio input. No words on pricing.

Heads-up, we’ve got another world’s first coming from the labs at BenQ. The E2200HDA claims to be this planet’s very first 21.5-inch 1080p Full HD LCD monitor, and given that odd panel size, we don’t doubt it one bit. Just to reiterate, this one boasts a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution along with a 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 5-millisecond response time, HDMI / DVI / VGA inputs, integrated speakers and a headphone jack. BenQ’s keeping quiet on pricing, but we are told to expect two additional E Series displays (including a 24-incher) later this year. As for this one, look for it to land in China and “select countries in Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America” in Q3. Yes, North America just got snubbed — intensely.

Hmmph. Outside of Samsung’s blisteringly hot SP-A800B, we’re fairly certain Panasonic’s latest duo are the most impressive at InfoComm. Putting those XGA / WXGA units to shame, the PT-DZ12000U packs a drool-worthy WUXGA resolution (1,920 x 1,200) and 12,000 lumens to boot. The PT-D12000U checks in with the same three-chip DLP engine and lumen count, but eases up on the pixels with just 1,400 x 1,050. Furthermore, both units boast a System Daylight View to keep things visible even in well lit rooms, and the built-in Ethernet port enables remote monitoring and control through a web browser. Just one problem with all of this, though: the $69,000 (PT-DZ12000U) / $59,000 (PT-D12000U) price tags.
