When you think about brand name televisions, you think Samsung, LG, Sony, Vizio, Aquos, Sharp, Insignia, and maybe a few other lesser named brands. But if there is one brand you rarely see, it is Mitsubishi. Should they just stick with making cars, or will their new LaserVue television win over everyone?

Plasma might have had a good year in 2010, but LCD and LED technology did quite well too. In fact, the LCD television market was over ten times larger than the plasma market last year, according to research data from Displaybank.

The introduction of 3D technology had its ups and downs, but one of the biggest downers were the unfashionable 3D glasses. It's true that they might be unbelievably geeky and expensive, but there are a few companies out there that want to change that — or at least the "geeky" part. They want to make 3D glasses sexy. Can they pull it off?

With the rise of the Internet, the world is getting smarter. But it appears that our televisions are getting smarter too. So smart, in fact, that analysts are expecting a half billion smart televisions within the next four years.

The future of home entertainment is quickly evolving. Technologies like LED backlighting have only begun to take off in popularity. However, it appears that the OLED newcomer has something to say about this. But will we ever be able to afford it?

One of the most troubling facts about 3D TV is that users must wear those annoying 3D glasses. Not only are they annoying, they are also expensive (over $100 per each set). And they also are the most uncool looking things you've ever seen in your life. But what if we could do away with the the expensive glasses and enjoy 3D TV with a much less disturbing alternative?

That is what some of the world's top television manufacturers are asking themselves. But not only are they asking these questions, they are providing us with answers.

The world's most renowned television maker has come down with some hard times on their shoulders. Profits are falling, even though the company is making headway in many areas. But the company's profits in television manufacturing were the most shocking.

Plasma televisions have been on the decline for the past few years, especially with the likes of cheaper LCD televisions. But things might be changing. Plasma displays have had a very impressive comeback in 2010, and it must raise the question of whether or not the old dog has some tricks up its sleeve.

It's an interesting concept: create a television with a built-in hard drive. We've had displays that have packaged in VHS players, DVD players, and Blu-ray players, and there might have been a few that tried hard drives, but this seems to be a legitimate attempt to do it right. Sony is the first one to offer an LED display with a hard drive built in. Will anyone buy?

Is the future of gaming in 3D? Television manufacturers would have us think so. Unfortunately, today's 3D televisions are not exactly aimed at the modern gamer. They are more adept to those who want a huge entertainment center in a living room. But things could change.
