I’m not sure where you like to sit in the cinema but it’s generally thought that somewhere in the last half of the seating – furthest from the screen – is the the best. Anywhere closer and you can’t see all of the screen and your eyes tend to flit around trying to catch the action.
However, if you like being overwhelmed, then this new JVC rear-projection HDTV is the one for you. Put this in any large living room - if you can - and you’d still be too close. It uses D-ILA technology for a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080, or Full HD.
And, if you’re worried about your electricity bill bringing on a coronary, don’t be, since JVC swears it only drinks as much as a 37in LCD TV. The same can’t be said for the price though. On sale now in Japan, it costs just over £27,000. That wee little thing in the bottom right hand corner is the remote. -Martin Lynch

Hey girls, how would you like some technology for you that isn’t pink?
There’s this idea among many manufacturers that if they make something pink it will attract consumers from the fairer sex likes bees to nectar. Truth be told, many tech-oriented girls are no longer six years old and would like something a little more mature. Take MSI’s new notebook, shown off the recent Computex Show in Taipei.
There’s no doubt who the target audience is but it’s artistic and classy without once resorting to stereotyping. The glossy piano-black inside would be perfectly at home in any bloke’s gadget collection.
On the specs front, you are looking at an Intel Centrino Duo engine, 1.3MP Webcam, 17in screen, nVidia Geforce 8600M GT 512MB graphics, DirectX 10 support, HDMI output, surround sound and optional TV tuner. No price or launch date yet, but refreshingly different nonetheless. Jump now for another shot. -Martin Lynch
