Samsung FP-T5094 Plasme Television

Now you can get full 1080p HD without the mess of wires. The FPT5094 includes a wireless home A/V center that enables wireless communication between the FPT5094 and components, like your DVD player, cable/satellite box, etc., connected to the wireless center.
This television’s connections - with three HDMI jacks, two component video inputs - were moved from the back of the TV to the back of the separate wireless base station. As a result, the only wire coming from the panel is the power cord. This could potentially save hundreds of dollars in installation fees if you want to wall-mount your FPT5094 because not having to run interconnects through the wall makes wall installation much simpler.

Toshiba postpones OLED TV plans

Toshiba Corp of Japan has delayed the development of ultra-thin OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) TVs, because of the high costs associated with mass production.Its plan to develop a 30in OLED TV for sale in 2009 has been abandoned. However, the company still plans to produce small OLED displays for mobile phones in 2008.

The company hasn’t cancelled its OLED TV plans completely - it will keep an eye on the market and would consider restarting development if it becomes commercially viable to do so.

Toshiba is concerned about the higher power consumption of OLED TVs. On a 30in model, this is up to three times more than the power consumption of an LCD panel of the same size.

Toshiba is also concerned about the production costs of the OLED panel for the 30in model, which was being developed by TMD.

Lower cost production technology is expected to be available around 2010, which would help make OLED TVs more cost-effective to manufacture.

Sony has already released an OLED TV and Samsung is planning to 14in OLED TVs by 2010.
