Are there any new video game consoles in development?

Q. Is Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, or any other company developing a new video console due out soon? I'm thinking about purchasing a PS3 with my new HDTV soon, but I'm willing to pass up the PS3 if someone will release another blurray enabled console. Opinions welcome.

A. I'm sure they're all working on new consoles, but I remember reading a quote last year saying that the current consoles will probably be supported through 2012.

In any case I don't believe any new consoles have been announced yet so there won't be anything new for a few years.

Will the dvd recorder - vcr combo have to be HDTV compatable?
Q. I'm considering purchasing the dvd recorder - vcr player and need help in selecting an easy to operate system. Also, will it be obsolete in 2009 when all TV's will be HDTV? Can CD-RW be used as a DVD disc?

A. First of all, not all TVs will be HDTV. On February 17th, 2009, TV stations will stop broadcasting in analog signal and start broadcasting in digital. You will now receive digital television (DTV). The only people this will affect are people who are using an antennae to receive their signal. If you receive cable or satellite, they will be allowed to continue broadcasting in analog signal until at least 2012. If they choose to do otherwise, they must let you know.

Secondly, DTV does NOT mean HDTV. HDTV is the best quality of DTV. There are two other levels - SDTV and EDTV. After Feb 17th, 2009, all new TV's must be equipped with a digital tuner. Most new TVs now already have digital tuners in them; and most new TVs are HDTV compatible, but you must pay extra through your provider for HDTV service.

Thirdly, with most major studies switching over to Blu-Ray format, you're better off buying a BluRay player, and not DVD. If you're looking to record TV shows, get a TiVo.

Finally, no, CD-RWs cannot be used as a DVD disc. It is a different format. Your DVD recorder will be able to read a CD-RW, but it will most likely not be able to burn to it.


What are the fundamental distinctions between Samsung’s and LG’s OLED display technologies?
Q. Both are using the same technology but there are some fundamental distinctions which make one of them better than other, that’s why LG won the 'Best HDTV' and 'Best of Show' at CES 2012. Someone elaborate for me please.

A. Unlike other manufacturers who are using only RGB colors, LG has used White OLED in the production of their OLED TV to make their color display and contrast better than the other brands. That’s why their TV is better than the Samsung and won them many awards in the show.
