Does the thought of a black framed LCD TV give you the shivers? Are you looking for a TV that will blend in nicely with your living room?

FLO TV is a brand new service that offers high resolution streaming television to compatible cell phones and portable devices. Their flagship hardware is the FLO TV Personal Television.

Well doesn't this look like a Pepto Bismal bottle just threw up all over an LCD TV. The Cello TV is a 19" TV with built-in DVD player AND an iPod dock. It's perfect for your kids room or those away at college. It also sports an HDMI connection, for let's say an XBox 360 or PS3, and a remote is included as well. Unfortunately, this telly is only available in the U.K. But we like the concept of having a built-in DVD player and iPod dock all come inside of a TV very much. The Pink Cello LCD currently retails for about £199.

Futurama: The Complete Collection is making it's way on to DVD this October 13th. Each episode ever aired is included in the collection including easter eggs, deleted scenes, and all other sorts of goodies. Sadly its not a Blu-ray version but the collectible Bender head should suffice. The collectible doesn't do anything but if you are fan of the sarcastic robot - just sticking it on a desk somewhere or a mantle will make you want to chuckle. Too bad they didn't include a cigar or a bottle of booze with it to compliment Bender. The Futurama: Complete Collection retails for $$159.98 but you can score one on pre-order ...

In recent years the popularity of portable pocket televisions has waned. Now that the DTV transition has happened, it's even more difficult to find portable handheld tellies. This new Portable Pocket TV isn't just digital - it's also an HDTV with a 480 x 272 resolution, and a 16:9 wide screen. Ok, well they are stretching the truth about it being an HDTV. It's more like an EDTV since it can receive high definition broadcasts but it doesn't have an HD resolution for its display. alas, it's still pretty impressive kit for $199.99. Unfortunately the 1.5 hour battery life kind of limits it's portability factor. Still, we think this ...

Interactive displays seem to be the new ingenious way for advertising campaigns to grab peoples attention. Monster Media is behind some the most recent campaigns as of late from Dance your A$$ off to Carnival Cruise lines.  They have even done displays for Harrods. Passerbys' get to interact with the screens and make themselves look like fools, but hopefully it will get them to tune into a show or purchase the advertised item. For example, for the Dance your A$$ Off display, viewers can dance along with the images on the screen. Other displays let you touch the screen to interact with it, and some will even let you play games. The interactive displays are trendy and hip and it's definitely a new way for advertisers to think outside of the box instead of using the same old static ads.

It's hard to discern exactly which model of 46" Samsung LCD this is from with the new coat of white paint ColorWare seems to have covered it over with. From the shape it looks like it could be from the Samsung with Red Touch of Color line. But I wouldn't bet the house on it. Either way I'm not really digging this whole pale look....but I have a feeling this could be showing up in that elusive empty HDTV catergory that ColorWare keeps saying is coming soon.

If there has ever been one thing that has bothered me about video walls, it's that the thick bezels around each display breaks up the picture and kind of ruins the overall effect. But it looks like that is about to change, today Samsung announced the Samsung Ultra-Definition Display (UD) System which sports thinner bezels for a more uniform overall picture. The system is integrated into Samsung's UX and UT Series displays and a single control server can manage up to 250 video displays at a time. This isn't a consumer product that you can expect seeing anytime soon, but it should show up at your next rock concert ...
