ATI TV Wonder Elite Review

By

Quote from Designtechnica’s review:

“Certification by the Imaging Science Research Labs is what Media Center PC builders have been waiting for, and ATI’s new TV Wonder Elite has it. Using ATI’s new Theater 550 Pro video processor, the TV Wonder Elite promises the best video quality available coming from a traditional analog cable or over-the-air broadcast. With a street price between $150 and $200 dollars respectively, the ATI TV Wonder Elite is compatible with Microsoft’s Media Center Edition 2005 and other media software packages. Add to the mix PVR recording capabilities and a little taste of the multimedia environment and ATI just might have a hit on their hands. But can they can they compete with the likes of Hauppauge and other TV tuner card manufacturers?”

Digital Trends’ Tech For Change CES 2023 Awards
Digital Trends CES 2023 Tech For Change Award Winners Feature

CES is more than just a neon-drenched show-and-tell session for the world’s biggest tech manufacturers. More and more, it’s also a place where companies showcase innovations that could truly make the world a better place — and at CES 2023, this type of tech was on full display. We saw everything from accessibility-minded PS5 controllers to pedal-powered smart desks. But of all the amazing innovations on display this year, these three impressed us the most:

Samsung's Relumino Mode
Across the globe, roughly 300 million people suffer from moderate to severe vision loss, and generally speaking, most TVs don’t take that into account. So in an effort to make television more accessible and enjoyable for those millions of people suffering from impaired vision, Samsung is adding a new picture mode to many of its new TVs.
[CES 2023] Relumino Mode: Innovation for every need | Samsung
Relumino Mode, as it’s called, works by adding a bunch of different visual filters to the picture simultaneously. Outlines of people and objects on screen are highlighted, the contrast and brightness of the overall picture are cranked up, and extra sharpness is applied to everything. The resulting video would likely look strange to people with normal vision, but for folks with low vision, it should look clearer and closer to "normal" than it otherwise would.
Excitingly, since Relumino Mode is ultimately just a clever software trick, this technology could theoretically be pushed out via a software update and installed on millions of existing Samsung TVs -- not just new and recently purchased ones.
