Yet another CEDIA has come and gone, and while some of our greatest hopes for Media Center came true ( CableCard is no longer OEM onl y, Switched Digital Video support for the tuning adapter is coming) several more did not (Zune HD integration and any new CableCard announcements from ATI.) Peep the recap post on Engadget HD for the full rundown on what did and didn’t happen in Media Center news from Atlanta, and what Microsoft’s next plans for Windows Media Center could (& should) be.

Why wait ’til October to get a peek at Sony’s BRAVIA Internet features come to Blu-ray on the BDP-N460 ? Check them out right now in the following gallery, we got a good look at the future on the CEDIA show floor, though whether Sony delivering all new hardware or everyone else’s strategy of upgrading existing players for Netflix, Amazon and other forms of streaming is the path to follow remains to be seen. The BDP-N460 should hit for about $250 starting next month.

With VIZIO’s first LED local dimming backlit HDTV just days away from debut and its first Connected TV nearing production, we were able to lay eyes and hands on the television and its funky QWERTY Bluetooth / IR combo remote. Check the pics and videos (including looks at VIZIO’s smaller LED sets ready to hit shelves this fall) for a look at our walkthrough; in the demos at least, the VIZIO Internet Apps platform was speedy and easy to use, however our experience with widgets so far has given us more than enough reason to wait for a full retail rollout before making any final decisions. One tidbit for those not ready to invest a whole new TV? The next iteration of VIZIO’s Blu-ray player should pack not only integrated Wi-Fi, but also the full VIA / widget experience.

U.S. buyers wanting to slide a Blu-ray playing & recording deck into their setup finally have an option coming from JVC, but the domestic limitations are almost as high as the pricetags. Unlike their Japanese and European cousins , there isn’t any support for DVRing television content to the hard drive or discs here, with support limited strictly to unprotected Blu-ray content, or imported video from cameras or other sources via the Firewire, SDHC and USB ports. Still, professionals and prosumers interested in easily duping their own Blu-ray discs, video editing or quickly creating one-offs the SR-HD1500 (250GB, $1,995) and the SR-HD1250 (500GB, RS-232, Final Cut Pro .mov file support $2,550) may find a home for these when they ship in October.

It’s been less than a year since we first entered Panasonic’s demo trailer, the main difference at CEDIA this year was the addition of a trailer for James Cameron’s Avatar . We were lucky enough to get an early look at the footage shown, while it shared much with the trailer released a few weeks ago, you haven’t seen the Terminator and Titanic director’s latest effort unless you’ve seen it in 3D. Check after the break for the rest of our thoughts on the 3D demo, and what the future has to hold for this display tech in the home.

If you thought Toshiba’s IFA Blu-ray showing was weak, consider its CEDIA display: simply a BDX2000 player connected to nothing at all. We understand, the format war was long and bitter, but c’mon Tosh, you could at least act excited about offering customers 1080p disc players again.

What you’re looking at here is the latest addition to the Sony Blu-ray family. The BDP-N460 seemingly fits right in between the BDP-S360 and the BDP-S560 with an MSRP of $249. What sets it apart from its little brother is the fact that it can use its included network jack for more than just BD-Live and it features a USB port on the front, in addition to the one on the back for optional BD-Live storage. There’s no built in WiFi or MKV support like other brands though, but it is shipping with access to YouTube and to Bravia Internet Video, and in addition Sony promises Netflix Watch Instantly later this fall. No word on whether this means the end for the BDP-S360, but considering the price and improved features of the 460, that’s where we’d put our money.

Along with the rest of its CEDIA 2009 announcements, Sony will be showing off new projectors. Up first is the VPL-VW85 (pictured above) which one ups the exiting VPL-VW70 and VPL-VW80 models by combining the company’s 120Hz Motionflow frame insertion tech, 120,000:1 contrast ratio, 800 ANSI lumens, RS-232C and an anamorphic zoom lens in an $8,000 package. If that’s too rich for your blood, the VPL-HW15 (picture after the break) offers a spec bump over the VPL-HW10 with 60,000:1 contrast ratio and a lower initial MSRP at just $2,800 when both of these launch in October.

Plasma TV’s have been retreating from LCDs to the safety of sizes larger than 50-inches, but emboldened LCDs are striking into that territory as well. Embarking on recon from CEDIA is Samsung’s LN65B650, a 65-inch behemoth sporting a 4ms response time, 120-Hz Auto Motion Plus frame interpolation, Medi@2.0 connectivity, and Samsung’s Touch of Color treatment in grey. All the latest wizardry, you say? Not quite — it’s CCFL backlit; but even without LEDs — the LN65B650 is probably too big for edge-lighting to cover, and would take roughly a gazillion LEDs to backlight directly — the real plasma killer here might be the little check mark in the ” Energy Star qualified ” box. The $6,000 price (and we’d guess ultimate picture quality , too) means that biggie-sized plasmas are safe for now, but we know how prices and performance go with time. Full details on this beast after the break.

It’s that time again: the end-of-year rush to launch the best and brightest home theater projectors for the holiday cocooning season. Epson’s casting its 2009 lot with the EH-TW5500 and EH-TW4400 3LCD projectors featuring Full HD (1920×1080) resolutions, a 1600 ANSI lumen brightness, and quiet 22dB operation. The TW4400 (aka, Home Cinema 8500UB as it will be known Stateside) touts a 130000:1 contrast while the TW5500 (aka, Pro Cinema 9500UB) ratchets the hyperbole up to 200000:1 — that’s about double the claim of Epson’s previous high-enders that already featured excellent black performance. To be fair, Epson makes some of, if not the best , home theater projectors for the money thanks to its D7 C2Fine LCD panels manufactured in-house. Other specs include 12bit video processing, improved frame interpolation and 4-4 pull-down, x.v. color mode, 2.1x optical zoom with horizontal/vertical lens shift, and a range of inputs including 2x HDMI, YUV, and RGB. We gave the TW5500 an eyes and ears-on here are IFA in Berlin in a finely-tuned home theater setup and came away extremely impressed with the image — enough so that we’d be temped to layout the €3,299 European asking price (€2,799 for the TW4400) come November if only we had the space to let this baby shine. But let’s wait and see what the competition has in response when CEDIA kicks off later this week — it’s best to be informed and 3 grand ain’t exactly chump change.
