Daewoo Takes Room Divider into 21st Century: Digital Screens in the Screen
9:13PM Kit Eaton | Folding screens (that occasionally useful piece of furniture, and classic movie prop) get a dab of 21st Century tech with the DID-FS from Daewoo. The old-fashioned wooden frame is there, but supplemented by four LCD widescreens, mounted vertically. That leaves you free to choose what pictures you’re using to break up your living space into themes. It’ll probably leave you with an empty wallet too, given current LCD prices for displays that big, but there’s no info on pricing or availability. That doesn’t stop me from lusting after this though… maybe I can achieve the same effect with some MDF, a Dremel and a couple of cheapo LCD photo frames from the local store? [Born Rich] More »

Daewoo Brings First Profile 2.0 Blu-ray Player to IFA
8:00AM Matt Buchanan | Today at IFA, Daewoo tried to make its unexpected foray in the Blu-ray market count for something by launching the first Profile 2.0 Blu-ray player, the DBP-1000. Basically Profile 2.0 means it supports all of 1.1’s specs (like picture-in-picture) and adds web functionality (aka BD-Live). More mundanely, it supports 1080p via HDMI and upscales DVD and JPEGs to full HD resolution. No price or street date yet, but we know we like the shiny blue shell. [The Register] More »
