KEF KHT8005 Subwofer Soundbar Speaker System

Posted: 15 Jan 2010 05:30 PM PST

So they are clever, we can understand why some purists see soundbar home theater as a bit of a gamble. Packing decoders, processors, amplifiers and speakers in such a compact cabinet must inevitably take its toll on performance, and consequently they are never likely to match the sound quality you get from a whole of separate 5.1 speakers.

KEF KHT8005 Soundbar Speaker System

However, there is a type of soundbar generally produced by manufacturers dedicated speaker, who is more likely to impress those with discerning tastes sonic. Soundbar These “passive” to integrate front and center in one unit, but leave all the processing, decoding and amplification to your AV receiver that way you get the wall of a bar mountability sound, but with the same sound quality than traditional amp / speaker combo. The KEF KHT8005 is one of the soundbar, and seeks to replicate the success of the system HD Monitor Audio Radius, who works on a similar principle.

Join the KHT8003 and student Soundbar HTS7001 is the Kube-2 subwoofer, last in the line-up of the system KHT2005.3 excellent a good omen indeed. This low voltage box packs a 200W amplifier covering a frequency range of 35-150Hz, giving movie soundtracks punch extra deep bass that Soundbar can not provide alone. As we discovered from our first meeting, the Kube-2 is very attractive with its beautiful glossy black top panel and all-round curvature. It also features volume and dials the connection on the back and switch to reverse the phase and turn on the ‘EQ’ bass boost.

Inside it packs a side-firing long-range 250mm bass driver with a 250mm radiator auxiliary bass for good measure. As for the KHT8003, its true beauty can be appreciated when you get up Close – From afar, it resembles a black bar common or garden, and it will blend well in most TV sets (it is designed for assemblies Measuring 42in and above). But getting your mitts on it and you can feel the solid build quality and elegant glossy black finish, the more oval-shaped profile gives it an elegance lacking many soundbar. [via trustedreviews]

Not only is netbooks, and even some laptops and desktops budget continues to suffer from the lack of a digital video output. Not to mention poor quality digital to analog avoiding some monitors now very much in favor of DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort, it can be a real problem. Fortunately, ViBook VillageTronic’s + provides a solution.

VillageTronic ViBook USB Graphics System

This little device uses a technology called DisplayLink (not to be confused with DisplayPort, which is a standard connector) to output a digital video signal through a regular USB 2 ports. It does this by compressing the original signal using a software-based virtual graphics card, reducing the bandwidth to a level that USB can handle. It unpacks and then again using a chip on the device itself. The result is a standard DVI signal output is apparently a USB port. All this is done in real time and you can run resolutions up to Full HD (1,920 x 1,200) the cheapest ViBook can handle up to 1680 x 1050 or 1600 x 1200.

Since the last time we tried to develop a product DisplayLink, the impressive Toshiba Dynadock U10, technology has been updated to work with MacOS and Windows, although Linux users will have to wait a little longer. [via trustedreviews]

LG GM750 Touchscreen Mobile Phone

Posted: 15 Jan 2010 03:42 AM PST

LG, like its neighbor Korea’s Samsung, has been enthusiastically adopted the technology for its touchscreen phones. Besides the production of handsets with touch screen based around its own operating system it also nestles at Microsoft does a few times to the package terminals with Windows Mobile OS from Redmond. This is not really a surprise then to note that the GM750 is among the first batch of devices running Microsoft’s new Windows offering Tel.

LG GM750

The GM750 closely follows the design template that LG has used on previous handsets like the Arena KM900, KC910 and Renior Cookie KP500. A 13 mm thick is a bit plump, but not too much as it is relatively small (compared to standard touch screen), it actually feels very comfortable to hold in the palm of your hand. And even if the phone is usually made from plastic, it feels quite solid and rigid, while the manager to tilt the balance in a rather light 119g.

As it is a touchscreen phone, the GM750 is mainly controlled by the menus on the screen, but LG has also equipped with an array of hardware controls decent. There is an on / off button at the top that doubles as a lock switch, while the right side is home to a rocker switch volume. On the left you will find the dedicated button, and a multitasking button to call a special menu multitasking LG. You will also find the microSD slot here, while LG has positioned the micro-USB port on the top right side of the phone. Unfortunately, the USB port also doubles as the headphone jack (we would have preferred a mini-jack for that), but at least the headset is a connection of two parts with a standard jack 3.5mm in the middle. This means that you can swap the headphones of your own set of cans without losing the hands-free functionality.

The biggest change from the norm with the physical design of GM750 is the optical joystick which can be found nestled under the touch screen. It works like a traditional D-pad, but there are no moving parts. Instead, a sensor for monitoring the surface of the tablet to work in what direction you slide your finger so that it can react accordingly. It can be used to navigate menus or scroll through long lists like contacts in the address book, and works quite well as it is reasonably responsive. [via trustedreviews]
