The Samsung and Armani HDTV

Armani and Samsung have collaborated again, this time on a premium HDTV design. Revealed for the first time at the opening of the Milan International Furniture Fair. Combining cutting edge technology from Samsung with cutting edge design from Giorgio Armani, this is one sleek 1080p LCD television. Available in 46" and 52" sizes the tv itself is pretty basic looking (although I'm sure it has a more than "basic looking" picture) but the remote control sounds like it puts on quite the light show with "a full range of radiant backlights." Plus there's a smaller pebble-shaped remote for basic functions. Look for the smaller tv model to launch first (in Europe) this summer, with the 52" quickly following.

Sony's 70" Bravia

Sony's gearing up to take on Samsung in the giant LCD market with their just-announced Bravia KD-70XBR3. This monster boasts a 7,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, their new LCD backlight, blur-reducing "Motionflow" technology and a whole host of other next-gen performance specs that promise to make you feel like you're actually rocking the eighth Freebird solo in Guitar Hero II. They'll be shipping in February (same as Samsung), but you can pre-order the Sony now at Sony Style or a few retailers for a cool $33,000 Georgies.

Samsung Promises 70" LCD, Again

Although they ragged us with a sneak peak of this behemoth back in August, Samsung has finally announced the official release date for the largest mass-produced LCD TV in the world to be February (actually, "February or March") 2007.

The 70-incher provides 1080p flat panel resolution with 8ms response time and 2000:1 contrast ratio – but what's even more exciting is the fact that Samsung claims that they will be manufacturing a million of the bad boys annually. Nice.

No word on price yet, but seeing as they've sort of got the market cornered here (and very well may have it cornered for a while), we're hoping they'll be nice, responsible market-creators and keep 'er well below five digits.

TV in the Tub, Now Sans-Death

Tired of being electrocuted every time you try to watch your soaps in the tub? Us too. So needless to say, we're pretty ecstatic that UK company Di Vapor is offering their new Luxor bathtub, a message-jet unit complete with 14" LCD screen (and digital ins, so you can flip to TiVO'd soaps during the commercials). This puppy retails for about $9000 US, but you'll have to order it on your next London visit, cause they're not shipping stateside yet.

Entertaible

The Entertaible is being developed by Philips as a social gaming device, meant to be installed in restaurants and bars to get patrons together, but it is being considered for making the transition to the home market as an alternative to non-digital gaming tables. The table has a 32-inch horizontal touch-sensitive LDC screen at its center, which can detect up to 45 separate objects, whether fingers or game pieces, on its interface. It can be used for video games and as a board game base with physical pieces, which makes playing Sorry! seem a little more exciting.
