The Berlin show-off

Top manufacturers display their newest ware at IFA Berlin, one of the oldest industrial exhibitions in Europe.

Sony Bravia 4K TV

Did you just buy an expensive HDTV? Poor you, your TV has just become obsolete. IFA, Berlin has been flooded with 84-inch 4K TVs. The best of the lot is the Sony Bravia 4KTV. The 4K refers to the picture quality of the TV. With a screen resolution of 3840X2160 pixels, this gigantic TV displays pictures four times the size of standard 1080p picture shown on a HDTV. Another cool feature is its ability to let people watch two completely different channels from different angles without the need for split screen using 3D glasses which will be a welcome feature for gamers playing each other. However, they are not available yet, and it is going to cost upwards of Rs 20 lakh.

Dell XPS One 27

In the age of tablets and convertibles, what we don’t hear about much are all-in-one PCs. Dell wants to rectify it with the XPS One 27. The 27-inch screen is not just all show though. It is also a touchscreen that you can fold down on the desk to use like a gigantic ten point touch display just like the Microsoft Surface of the old. To complement that screen you get Ivy Bridge processors, up to 16GB of memory and a 2TB hard disk .
