Intel Delays TV Chip Launch

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the waiting-games dept.

portscan writes "The Financial Times is reporting that Intel has dropped a planned technology that would have halved the price of big-screen televisions by year end. This is the latest mistep in Intel's consumer market strategy. Slashdot has reported on the technology, LCOS, before."

    You bring up some great points. Occasionally, the smaller widescreen TV's will be more oriented towards the HDTV market so some of them will have HDTV tuners built in whereas most 4:3 screens won't. I personally prefer for my TV just to be a monitor and I'll provide the tuner. For just the point you mentioned I bought the 40" Sony Wega 4:3. It's letterbox picture is the same as the 34" Sony widescreen. So when I watch HDTV on it (via Samsung T-351 tuner) it's the same picture, but then with regular TV the picture is huge. And the price... the same if not a little less than the 34" model. -Troy
