The First Wave of Philips HDTVs Release in Europe

The First Wave of Philips HDTVs Release in Europe

Posted on Jun 01, 2012 by MG3

Filed in: TVsPhilips

Several months ago, Philips unveiled their 2012 HDTV lineup. Today, it was announced that the first wave of HDTVs are beginning to hit the retail market. The company has three series now available, the 4007, 5507, and 6007 series. The downside though is that they are only available in Europe at the moment. The company has yet to release their flagship TVs, but the 6007 series is a close second. It includes four HDMI ports and range in size from 32 to 55 inches, diagonally. Unfortunately the company has yet to announce retail prices or when the TVs will receive a global release.

Plug the Philips PicoPix 2480 into your laptop, smartphone, camera or tablet and you’ll be able to project your content up to 120 inches in size.

Compact enough to fit in a small bag, the PicoPix 2480 has USB, HDMI, VGA, component and composite connectivity, an SD/SDHC slot and 2GB of internal memory.

Posted on Apr 24, 2012 by MG3

While some are actively working on putting mini projectors in a phone, you can still rush out and buy a pico projector if you’re filled with such a desire. Philips has today announced that they’re launching a new pico projector in its range, the PPX2480. You’ll find the same features that you can expect from other projectors in the range, although it looks like Philips will be aiming this at the top end of its line.

Philips ErgoSensor Monitor scolds you for slouching

Philips ErgoSensor Monitor scolds you for slouching

Posted on Apr 09, 2012 by MG1

Philips has launched a new display that tracks user-attention and can make posture suggestions – or even turn off completely – if the observer isn’t ergonomically ideal. The ErgoSensor Monitor is a 24-inch 1920 x 1080 LCD with a 1,000:1 contrast ratio and integrated stereo speakers, but it’s the ErgoSense system itself that’s most interesting. It relies on an embedded sensor to give optimal viewing distance, ergonomic neck angle and a time break advice.

Filed in: MonitorsPhilips

Philips has now introduced the 24-inch Brilliance 241P4LRY, its very first monitor to feature the ErgoSensor technology which not only saves power but also helps the user have a healthier experience. To cut power draw (by up to 80%), the ErgoSensor will turn off the monitor when no one is in front of it, while to ensure better ergonomics it will advise the user on neck posture, optimal viewing distance and will suggest breaks at regular intervals.
The 241P4LRY features WLED backlighting, a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a 5 ms response time, 250 cd/m2 maximum brightness, a contrast ratio of 1,000:1 (20,000,000:1 SmartContrast), D-Sub, DVI and DisplayPort connectivity, four USB 2.0 ...

LG, Sharp and Philips to build developer's kit, create Smart TV app standard

LG, Sharp and Philips to build developer's kit, create Smart TV app standard

Posted on Sep 09, 2011 by MG3

Filed in: TVsLGPhilipsSHARP

A triumvirate of television titans -- LG, Sharp and Philips -- are joining forces to create a development kit, defining a common standard for their Smart TV apps. The power play addresses the problem of fragmentation, since developers will only need to make one version of an app for it to work across all three of the 'tubes operating systems. Based on open standards like HTML5, CE-HTML and HbbTV, developers should get their hands on a beta version by early October, with the finalized version due by the end of the year. The better question now is whether the Romanesque trio can drum up enough developer support to beat out competitors in an app-tastic coup d'etat, or if the likes of Vizio, Son...

I Hope These Philips Headphones Sound as Good as They Look

I Hope These Philips Headphones Sound as Good as They Look

Posted on Sep 02, 2011 by MG1

I hope we see these Philips Fidelio L1 headphones—debuted at the IFA Conference in Berlin—in the U.S., because they just look so nice. Made of leather, aluminum and memory foam, these headphones mix retro inspiration with clean, modern lines.
Philips hasn't really been a high-end manufacturer of anything for awhile now, so who knows how good they'll actually sound. But the company says that their semi-open-back headphones will have 40mm drivers that were designed and calibrated by the Philips Golden Ears panel of specialists. (QUALITY IMPLIED. We'll see about that.)
