College students and studio apartment tenants still don’t have many options for advanced TVs; they often have to make do with a PC monitor or find a way to cram a bigger TV set into a tiny space. It’s a good thing that LG’s MT93 Personal Smart TV is shipping to Europe this month, then. The 27-inch, IPS-based upgrade to last year’s model carries the same smart app platform, 3D imagery and Magic Remote as LG’s larger sets while doubling as a monitor for HDMI-equipped PCs. It even stuffs in wireless sharing support that rarely makes it to small TVs, such as Miracast and WiDi. LG hasn’t said which other countries will get the MT93, but international expansion plans later this year could please at least a few more campus dwellers.

Back in 2012, LG unveiled their 55” OLED TV which would cost consumers a whopping upwards of $10,000 if one wished to own it. The device was then made available this year and began shipping to countries like Korea and the US. Now the good news is that if you’re living in the UK and you’ve been dying to get your hands on this bad boy, you will now be able to. LG has announced that their 55” OLED TV, the 55EM970V, will now be available for pre-order via Harrods, Knightsbridge for a price of £9,999.99 (~$14,991). Ouch. However if you have the cash, what you will be getting will not only be a TV of enormous proportions, but a TV that is incredibly thin as well since it measures 4.5mm thin and according to LG, will weigh less than 10kg which should make it relatively easy to shift around. We don’t suppose any of you guys have plans to get one, right?

How the 3D television market was affected by the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show – The coming of 4K OLED TVs
Posted in: Today's Chili3D is all the rage these days when it comes to the movies. The studios have opened up to the concept of shooting movies in three dimensions. It has been found to add to the viewing experience that people derive when watching the movie in a theatre. In fact, the most successful movie of all time was shot in 3D. Despite the cynics and critics lamenting how 3D is ruining the movie going experience, the technology is holding strong and may well continue to do so for the next many years to …

The future of TV is supposed to involve streaming video, and it’s also supposed to involve 4K TVs — but melding the two has been difficult. Telefonica wants to show that the feat is at least possible with mere mortal connections: it’s been using Mobile World Congress to show 4K video streaming on a 100Mbps fiber-to-the-home link. As our Spanish teammates can attest, the (admittedly very local) demo works as well as you’d hope, providing all the fine details without buffering or other hiccups. There’s no estimated timeframe for a commercial service, but we wouldn’t hold out hope of a version that would fit on cable or DSL when there’s a raw 40Mbps bitrate.

Those running the dedicated YouTube app for iOS have had TV streaming for awhile… as long as there was an Apple TV in between. Google’s video division is cutting out that middleman with its newly available app update. Similar to what we’ve seen in the Android software, iOS device owners can at last pair directly with some TVs, the PS3 or Xbox 360 to play and queue videos, even if there’s multiple iPads and iPhones jockeying for attention on the same WiFi network. If your set is left out, YouTube still offers reasons to upgrade — there’s a connection to YouTube Capture for recording, and better playback on a pokey WiFi connection. As long as you’re at least curious about TV streaming beyond Apple’s set-top box, it’s arguably worth trying.
