We’re a bit past 2001, but Sony’s Bravia NX800 evolves your home theater with 1080p HD, 240Hz refresh rate, WiFi, and a monolithic pedestal that tilts the 46″-60″ HDTV 6 degrees.
It may be gimmicky, but 3D arrives in home theaters this year via Sony and Panasonic, with both releasing 3D-capable TVs which will require special glasses; also: DIRECTV HD 3D.
Gliffy.com outdoes itself with the Epic HDTV Buyer’s Guide, which covers everything from its primary use (gaming woot!), size (the bigger the better), and brands (just buy a TV already!).
You can’t Wingardium Leviosa your TV with it, but The Wand Company’s Remote Control Wand can be programmed to change channels and the volume with “magical” gestures.
The craziest thing about Bang & Olufsen’s BeoVision 4-103 isn’t the 103″ Panasonic screen, the motorized stand or its half-ton weight; it’s the fact it costs as much as a freakin’ supercar.
You’ll need to tether it, but Open Air Cinema’s inflatable projection screen delivers a glorious 220″ of widescreen nirvana; add some helium and the whole neighborhood can watch.
