Now for sale are two HDTVs in Panasonic’s new X1 Series, the TC-P42X1 and TC-P50X1. Especially of note is these sets’ 600Hz “Sub-field Drive” which delivers crisp moving images (Note: 600Hz is 5 times the rate of most high-end LCDs and 25% higher than previous plasma sets). These two big screen TVs do have one downside in that they only have 720p resolution, but their attractive price point might offset this for many of you.

Now for sale are two HDTVs in Sharp’s BD80U Series, the LC46BD80U and LC52BD80U. The highlight of these sets is their built-in Blu-ray player (no other current HDTV set has one).

The final two days of CES 2009 were not filled with new product announcements like the days leading up to and the first half of the event. I guess that’s not too much of a surprise as manufacturers know any product announcement on the weekend won’t get as much attention as one that happened during the work week. That said, we don’t have any new products to tell you about that turned up for sale over the weekend.

With attendance down 20% from last year, people may think CES 2009 marked the beginning of a lackluster year in the electronics world. This could not be farther from the truth. What’s there to look forward to? Higher quality LCD displays. Many more WiFi-enabled devices like GPS systems, HDTVs and digital cameras. Plus, many new phones that pose a threat to the iPhone’s dominance. We can’t wait to tell you when you can get your hands on them!

Out in Las Vegas, manufacturers are halfway through the yearly exhibition called “CES”, where the public gets to learn about the new and exciting gadgets that will hit store shelves this year. It’s not unusual that you’ll hear about a product being shown off at CES and then find it never made it to the stores. Similarly, you might be able to order a product the moment it’s announced at CES, which is what we’re most interested in. So let’s take a look at some of the coolest products from the first two days of CES that you can already buy.
