Think you've seen this one before? Close, but no cigar. Philips' GoGear Muse doesn't deviate much from the path that has been chosen for it (and fittingly so, might we add), boasting a predictably glossy motif, 16GB of internal storage space and a 3-inch display. As it overtakes the Opus for the company's top-of-the-line player, it also gains support for BMP, GIF, PNG, OGG, APE, Real Video and Real Audio formats, and just in case you're curious, it'll also handle those ultra-rare "MP3" things...

The TW4400 (aka, Home Cinema 8500UB as it will be known Stateside) touts a 130000:1 contrast while the TW5500 (aka, Pro Cinema 9500UB) ratchets the hyperbole up to 200000:1  that's about...

LG LU7000

LG's LU7000 TV does come in an attractive design, where they will cater to those living in small spaces and yet want something aesthetically pleasing while watching TV. The LU7000 range will come in sizes that vary from 19" to 22", boasting an integrated DVD player that does away with the need to take up even more shelf space while cutting down on the number of wires required to hook both standalone devices together as of yore. Speakers are also built-in to maintain the sleek and minimalist...
