IFA Catch Up

So for the first post after we have been to IFA i thought i would let you all catch up on what went on.
The biggest stride forward with technology at this year’s show had to be the 3D television without glasses; Phillips being the best company with a product that looked like it could be sold tomorrow. A lot of the other players seemingly just brought over what they had even if it was glitchy.
3D without glasses is a bug stride forward however only if the price is right and at the moment no company could give a definitive answer to this question. All very well and good having the TV to market but if its 30% more expensive than a normal 3D television people are going to stick with paying the extra for some glasses.

moving away from 3D ", at IFA this was hard let me tell you," i can introduce LGs first 32 inch OLED screen which is the thinnest panel and sharpest picture yet. I won’t bore you with how the tech works on this but if you have a look on YouTube here:. Pretty special yes? Pretty special price tag also. If the 15inch version is anything to go by coming in at around £1500 per screen over £100 per inch!!!

Finally this week @ www.richmondav.co.uk we have some cracking deals on 42inch plasma @379.99 and also the full HD 50 inch plasma @ 599 take a look or give us a call! 0845 811 0025

IFA

Well this weekend was the most up and down bank holiday we have had (in terms of weather for the UK) Seemingly sporadic showers don’t seem to dampen the festival goers mood with Reading festival having and air of Glastonbury throughout and the scenes of festival goers pounding their way through knee high bogs. Always looks good when you are sat in the comfy dry surroundings of your own home.

so for many people last weekend was about having a party during the bank holiday, this weekend coming we have a special preview of what will be hitting our shelves and web this Christmas. IFA (Berlin) has been going many years now and is Europe’s answer to the CES show from Vegas. although not really as glamorous and a lot more Germans it is the half-way point into the year, a look back at what has been and more importantly what’s to come. Haier will be presenting their new "No Tails" TV which i have reliably been informed is completely wireless with no plug or aerial cable. all of which has to be seen to be believed so check back next week to catch up with all photos and reviews of some products.

There will also be HPs answer to the I Pad and Some lesser known brands will be battling their way into the European TV market.
