“We are very pleased to have been chosen again by Toshiba to support its latest LCD TV offering for the European market, where features such as integrated PAL decoding and Teletext are required,” said Raphael Mehrbians, Genesis Microchip’s senior vice president of Product Marketing. “The FLI8532 controller offers advanced video processing from Faroudja(R) and proprietary color management technologies to enable Toshiba’s HD-compatible LCD TVs to display images with film-like picture quality.”
The FLI8532 is a highly integrated, single-chip television solution for flat-panel televisions. It features Faroudja’s Emmy award-winning video decoding, deinterlacing and video enhancement technologies, whose inclusion is represented by the Faroudja DCDi Cinema(TM) brand. An integrated 3-D video decoder provides support for NTSC, PAL and SECAM standards, as well as SCART input. The integrated VBI (Vertical Blanking Interval) processor supports Teletext, Closed Captioning, V-chip and other VBI applications. The FLI8532 also features proprietary technologies to improve the performance of Liquid Crystal Displays for television applications including LCD Overdrive to reduce motion smearing artifacts and an Active Color Management (ACM-II(TM)) system to improve the dynamic color range. An embedded microcontroller and versatile On-Screen-Display (OSD) facilitate rapid product design of a global television chassis.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.

The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
