CES 2008 Show Report Part 3

Sony had a large flat panel featuring 4x 2K technology which turns out to indicate that the resolution of this display has essentially four times the number of pixels found in a 1080p panel.

There were a number of 3D displays on the show floor using a variety to techniques so that your two eyes saw an image from a slightly different perspective. Philips had two presumably plasma displays that created the 3D effect for people standing at the right distance without the need for special glasses or goggles.

I was also pleased that Philips was featuring that their products were “green”.

Visiting the Texas Instruments booth is always a good idea in that they overview what they feel are the important new developments related to use of their DLP technology. This year TI was showing off their new Dark Chip 4 technology, and the Dark Chip 4 combined with an LED light source for twice the brightness and a contrast ratio of 500,000:1.

As well as emphasizing the need for speed with displays that update at a 240 Hz rate.
