The MX-760HD is powered by 802.11G wireless technology as a sort of one stop aggregator for all of the touch points in your home theater system. Not only does it stream content directly to your theater devices, but does so in full High Def. Content can come from either an added option of an internal hard drive, streamed directly from your computer, network storage centers and servers, and USB and other flash drives.

The Mvix 760HD wirelessly transmits DivX 3/4/5, Xvid, MPEG 1/2/4, WMV-9, ASF, DAT, DVD, ISO, HD-level TP, TS, TRP, MP3, WMA, AAC, OGG, PCM, AC3, DTS decoding, DTS pass through, BMP, JPEG/JPG, and PNG files, *huff* *huff*, sorry…out of breath. The 760HD transmits with a resolution of 1920×180, high definition worthy. What makes the Mvix special is that it’s built around a linux style foundation, making possibilities endless for the transmission of files. Its sleek black metallic chassis and LCD screen put the finishing touches on the MX-760HD. Available for the very affordable $329. — Andrew Dobrow

Sony’s new Bravia XBR is a massive 70 inches of pure LCD madness. With a super high def resolution of 1,920 pixels by 1080 pixels, not only is the XBR absolutely gigantic, but as high definition as your gonna get right now. Now might be a good time to wipe the drool from your chin.

The Bravia Engine Pro engine, which takes non-HD programs and converts them to a higher quality picture, will also be included. Not only Blu-Ray and HD-DVD systems will make this kitty purr. DVD players will look just as fantastic.

With the XBR’s 178 degree viewing angle, reflections and darkness won’t ruin the LCD for large groups. The XBR can be viewed in good quality in most of all sitting angles, instead of only receiving great picture from the center seat.

Of course, the XBR has a price tag as large as its 70 inch size. A awe inspiring $33,000 will be needed to purchase your own when it hits stores next month (or you could buy a used luxury car). Is it worth it? You be the judge. — Andrew Dobrow

Sony Bravia XBR 70 inch LCD [Newlaunches]

In an attempt at stealing some of the HD market (and I guess at producing crappy movies?), Panasonic has joined the HD club by announcing their two new HD camcorders. For those who love the Panasonic brand of personals camcorders, but also have always wished to analyze the pores in their children’s faces, can now have the brand recognition they’ve always wanted. The HDC-SD1 ($1499) records onto SD cards, providing you with up to an hour of High Def recordings on a 4GB card. The HDC-DX1 ($1399) records straight to DVD, with a maximum recording time of 40 minutes. both record onto SD cards, providing you with up to an hour of High Def recording on a 4GB card. How many more indie movie directors will pop out from this one? And really, how many crappy film directors do we need?

The HDC-SD1 comes equipped with a SD card intact, which helps make up for the steep price. We don’t really find owning a HD camera being of much use now, since prices are sure to drop with the added competition of the Panasonic HD’s now announced and because we really don’t have anything worth recording in HD. You can also expect other emerging technologies to make HD a defunked technology. Though until then, indie film directors will rejoice, and we will have to pretend to like their crap movies. — Andrew Dobrow
