UPDATE: We’ve told Microsoft that the Xbox 360 update now released appears to be doing more damage than good. Reports are flooding in that it’s causing the Red Ring of Death, or RROD as soon as it’s installed, so find out Microsoft’s response if you’ve been affected.
The Xbox 360 bug fix update we predicted yesterday has been confirmed, and it’ll be released today!
Asus is yet to say when we’ll see the laptops unveiled at CES in the UK, but it’s making it up to us by confirming two new models, the F50 and F70, are headed to these shores this year!
UPDATE: LG has just confirmed the line up of TVs with WirelessHD tech in. The 55inch LG LHX Slim Wireless TV will offer cordless 1080p picture quality, 240Hz refresh and four HDMI ports if you absolutely have to plug something in. The LH85 model meanwhile comes in 55 and 47inch sizes with similar specs, but no LED backlighting for quite so stunning contrast. Still no release date, but LG will be showing them off at CES later in the week.
Where do you go with HDTV once you’ve reached the full 1080p mark on your gogglebox? You cut all the cables around the back and make your HD TV Wireless. That’s what LG has planned with a new range of wireless HD streaming tellies.
We’re starting to think that MSI, the Chinese computer maker, is copying over Asus‘s shoulder. First came the Wind netbook after the Eee PC, and now in the wake of the Eee Top it’s releasing its own all-in-one touchscreens, the Wind NetOn range. Still though, the specs aren’t to be smirked at, and we’ve got hands on with them. Pictures after the break.
Got yourself a HD TV, but haven’t made the jump to Blu-Ray yet? Then check out Sony’s new Bravia-branded DVD upscaler.
Wall mounting a flatscreen TV, but don’t want cables dangling out the back? Then you need Sharp’s new box of tricks. It’s been made in partnership with AMIMON, and sends full HD pictures in uncompressed form from any source to Sharp’s new X-series LCD TVs. It’ll work up to 30 metres, and even beams pictures through walls. It’s on sale in Japan with the new TVs already, but there’s no word on when it’ll hit the UK. Yet.
