New Pioneer Elite Plasmas Feature Home Media Gallery Networking
Posted by Damion Chaplin in "HARDWARE" @ 03:00 PM
"Three new Pioneer Elite® PureVision™ plasma televisions introduced at CEDIA 2006 send a clear message to consumers that the time is right to purchase one of the most technologically advanced plasmas available on the market. The new Elite 42" PRO-940HD, 50" PRO-1140HD and 60" PRO-1540HD televisions incorporate the latest innovations in proprietary plasma technologies that deliver brighter, sharper and richer images unmatched in the industry... The new Elite models are the first Pioneer plasmas to incorporate an exclusive home networking program, Home Media Gallery™, that easily connects to an existing home network via Ethernet or USB. This feature provides users direct access to movies, music and photos stored on a networked PC or any other DLNA compliant device for immediate viewing on the plasma in stunning HD quality."
Hmmm... A TV that can stream my movies and music directly from my PC via network? Sounds really cool, but I can't imagine it would give you the same flexibility as a set-top streamer. And starting at $4000, you'd better really want that streaming capability. The fantastic-looking screen really doesn't justify that price by itself. So... Anyone interested?
