3D HDTVs have finally reached the Philippines! And so have a new line of HDTVs from Sony.

I attended the press launch of the new models for Sony Bravia at the Boracay Shangrila thinking it was just your ordinary television.

But before I show you how Sony plans to revolutionize home entertainment, let me explain to you the concept behind Sony’s 2010 Bravia collection. This is the Monolithic Design concept infused within all the new BRAVIA models. The first feature is the On/Of Conscious, which allows viewers to be enlivened by an extraordinary spectacle when the BRAVIA is turned on, while being enamored by a gorgeous single surface when the BRAVIA is turned off. The second is Upward Style – you can recline the TV at a 6° angle – giving you the impression of the TV looking towards you, while adding a sense of space to your room. The final theme, or Contrast of Material, proves that the Sony BRAVIA TVs can blend into any environment to bring contrast and unity.

These concepts are part of the philosophy of Tatazumai, which artist Kidlat de Guia used as inspiration for his latest collection. His work, which is showcased together with the launch of the 2010 BRAVIA collection, further emphasizes the trends that have redefined television design this year. Whatever model you choose, there is a BRAVIA to ensure that your entertainment experience is nothing short of a dream come true.

My first digital cameras were a 2 mega-pixel Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P31 Digital Camera in 2002 then later on a cool blue 3 mega-pixel Sony Cybershot DSC-P8 Digital Camera in 2003. It never died on me and still continues to work to this day but technology keeps changing that I replaced them through the years especially when mega-pixels started to increase.
.
It amazes me how Sony developed a lot of new cameras 8 years later. I got the chance to try them out at a Sony’s Summer launch and witnessed the various capabilities of their digital imaging products,

I was assigned to the HOT PINK team where we huffed and puffed away to win the grand prize of the “Amazing Race” type of contest.

In the amazing race contest, they made us try out these gagdets. Here is a rundown of these cool gadgets:

I’m absolutely crazy about my Samsung T220 LCD monitor. I’ve been using it for two years now and it still delivers the same bright, crisp images it did when it was brand new. If you haven’t experienced the beauty of an LCD desktop monitor yet, I suggest you check out the new Samsung Series 30 monitors.
