“Smart TV”, or in its popular spelling, SmartTV, is something that the leading LCD and plasma manufacturers seem to be emphasising pretty heavily lately, in parallel with the omnipresent 3D technology. Depending on the particular manufacturer, SmartTV entails (wireless) internet and LAN capabilities, playback of a large number of video and audio formats, as well as images, the presence of at least one USB port, and the capability of installing applications from the manufacturer’s online store/database.

  Three-dimensional video content, although currently only available in the tiniest proportions, seems to have become a trend that pushes the video industry forward. Owing to it, tens of new Blu-ray player models with 3D capabilities have been released, and that’s set off the 3D TV receiver industry as well. Read on to find out what LG has come up with to compete.

  The breakthroughs in LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) technology helped create a category of pico projectors. Cameras, mobile phones and similar devices containing a tiny projector have already appeared on the market, but as it usually happens, their price and “child diseases” will make us carry around a separate device for some time. Sapphire Mini Projector 101, for instance.

 Several months ago, we had the chance to make friends with the tiny Benq Joybee projector, which left a most positive impression on us. The fact that LG has decided to present the portable projector market with their own solution just months after even setting foot in it only goes to prove that it’s a market niche with potential. Welcome the model HS201.

  NextBase may not be a familiar name to some of our readers, but it’s considered one of the most reputable portable DVD player manufacturers worldwide. The fact that Porsche uses NextBase OEM players as a factory-default solution for some of its models, and that Setra and a few additional touring bus manufacturers use NextBase solutions for distributing film content for long bus journeys, speaks volumes about their quality. And since holidays and very interesting sports events draw nearer, a combination of a DVD player for the kids and a TV receiver for adults may very well be a perfect combo for trips.

  We’ll take the liberty of saying that the trend of “packing” speakers into as small a packaging as available is more than popular. We’ve tested a truly tremendous amount of 2.0 speakers during the past year going for a surround sound or trying to accommodate for the lack of a subwoofer… Some have been more or less successful, and the Z520 model we received for testing this time around shall show us what’s been cooking in the Logitech kitchen lately as far as those are concerned.

  Have you ever wondered if there was a projector so small that you could put it in your bag along with the notebook, without even noticing it was there? Feel free to reply positively, because there is. Throw media player functions into the mix and you get a true delight for PC peripheral enthusiasts.

  WD TV Live brings probably the most important fix comparing to WD TV - support for wired network connection. The packaging of both devices is identical, with the exception of component and composite cables that are here non-standard because of unified connector, and should be keep safe. This is subject to a greater number of connectors on the back of the device, while dimensions are almost the same. While the predecessor was made in black piano finish, now it is a matted, dark gray base, where the fingerprints are not noticeable. According to the established recipe, there are two USB ports (one on the left, the other on the back side) optical SPDIF, HDMI (this time 1.3), and remote control. The new HDMI revision brought better support for the latest HDTV equipment and supports 10, 12 or 16-bit color, which is currently important in the latest TVs, still very rare on the market.

  Long time ago, in the 1980’s actually, Walkman was considered the best portable media player. In those days, walkman owners were carrying audio cassettes and AA batteries along. In those days, we expected from our audio player to play audio cassettes, while these days things are drastically different. First of all, dimensions of audio players are getting smaller every day, while even touch screens, wireless connections and similar technologies are not enough anymore. After all kinds of media players that have passed through out test lab, finally, we got one that should be very good media player and at the same time does not have lower case “i” as first letter of its name.

  Predecessor of this device we reviewed in January and mentioned it few times since it was, at that time, one of the best of its kind. We are of course talking about Verbatim MediaStation Pro . At this year’s IFA we saw new MediaStation HD and had high hopes, as it looked like we got improved successor of already very good MediaStation Pro. Well, new MediaStation HD has arrived in our test lab, but this time we have mixed feelings about it.
