CES 2006 Profile: Sanyo Fisher

Sanyo Fisher showed up the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last week with news of new widescreen high definition televisions and a high definition, 5.1 megapixel digital camera.

The new digital camera, the Xacti HD1, is what Sanyo Fisher is billing as the world’s first high definition compact digital media camera. Slated for a late March release with a price tag of $799.99, the Xacti HD is designed to record both 720p high definition video as well as 5.1 megapixel digital still images to a standard SD memory card. Features of this new camera include a 2.2” OLED display, a 10x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom, an ergonomic, one handed grip and anti-shake technology.

Sanyo Fisher’s new televisions were broken up into two announcements. The first focuses on the new 55” PLV-55WHD1 and 65” PLV-65WHD1 widescreen, high definition televisions. Both will be available in the third quarter of this year. Features of these two slender models include 3-LCD processing, rear projection, 720p high-definition resolution, 10-bit video processing and a HDMI interface.

Sanyo Fisher’s other televisions are the new 32” SLT-3276S and 26” SLT-2676S. Both will also be available in the early third quarter. Features of these new 16:9 widescreen LCD high definition televisions include integrated HDTV tuners, detachable speaker systems, removable bezels, HDMI support and 1366 x 768 resolution.

Crazy! This 75-inch 4K TV is under $450 at Walmart right now
The onn. 75” Class 4K UHD (2160P) LED Frameless Roku Smart TV is a living room with orange walls.

Walmart continues its reign of great TV deals with the option to buy an Onn. 75-inch Frameless 4K TV for just $448. A 75-inch TV for under $500 is pretty impressive and this TV usually costs $498 so you’re saving even more than usual. If you want a great new TV to add to your home for less, this is the perfect opportunity to do so while saving plenty of cash. Let’s take a look at what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the Onn. 75-inch Frameless 4K TV
Onn. is nowhere to be seen in our look at the best TV brands but it’s still pretty respectable for anyone seeking a budget-priced TV. The most obvious benefit here is the hefty 75-inch 4K screen with 2160p resolution. It looks great with a crystal clear picture which is an excellent upgrade compared to an HD screen. The Onn. 75-inch Frameless 4K TV might lack the finer features of the best TVs but it has the essentials arranged well.

Tubi teams with DAZN for sports as free TV service continues its takeover
The Tubi app icon on Apple TV.

Not that Tubi was exactly lacking for anything to watch, but the free (as in ad-supported) streaming service just added a couple more reasons to keep you glued to your couch. The Fox-owned FAST service (that's short for free ad-supported television) today announced a partnership with DAZN that brings a bevy of sports to platform.

The tentpole addition is DAZN Women's Football. It'll be available 24 hours a day, with "a compelling mix of live and classic soccer matches from prestigious tournaments." Those will include the UEFA Women's Champions League, Liga F, and the Saudi Women's Premier League, among others. It'll be available in the U.S. and Canada.

Hisense’s PX3-Pro Laser Cinema gets AI, a bigger picture, and better sound
The Hisense PX3-Pro Laser Cinema.

Hisense's PX2-Pro Laser Cinema ultra short throw projector made all kinds of best projector lists for its excellent picture, big brightness, and accurate color. Today, the Chinese electronics maker announced the popular projector's latest model, the PX3-Pro, a $3,500, premium triple-laser projector that improves on its predecessors with better sound, a brighter light source, and AI smarts to further enhance its image.

The PX3-Pro sees some improvements over the PX2. For one, it's brighter than the PX2's 2,400 ANSI lumens at 3,000 ANSI lumens, which should mean a significant boost, especially in brighter rooms. But one key improvement with the PX3 that Hisense is certainly hoping will make an impact is its integration of "real-time Pro AI Algorithms" that Hisense says will "enhance brightness, fine-tune contrast, and eliminate noise." Using AI to enhance picture quality, color, and more, has been showing up in all the best TVs over the last year or so, so it's no surprise to see it start making its way into the best projectors now, too.
