ViewSonic Intros 35-Series LCD HDTVs

Viewsonic has announced its new 35-series of LCD HDTVs, HD-capable LCD panels at prices consumers may find palatable—even if the displays can’t handle 1080p content. The new N2635w, N3235w, and N3735w are sized at 26, 32, and 37 inches, respectively, with each supporting resolutions of 1,366 by 768 pixels and 500 nits of brightness.

"With ViewSonic’s 20 years of display expertise, our LCD TV portfolio combines superior HD performance, style, and unmatched value bringing an enhanced viewing experience to any room," said Jeff Volpe, ViewSonic America’s VP of marketing, in a statement. "Consumers are sure to enjoy the quality and impressive performance of these LCD TVs as they enjoy summer-time viewing of HD sports, movies, and their favorite summer TV series."

The new 35-series displays support HDCP-enabled HDMI, DVI, S-Video, composite and component inputs, a 2D comb filter wth motion adaptive de-interlacing for consistent, clear imaging, and S/PDIF audio outputs for connecting to a home audio or theater system. The 32- and 37-inch models sport 1,200:1 contrast ratios, while the 26-inch unit comes in at 800:1. The larger units also tout VGA inputs for connecting to a PC.

The N2635w, N3235w, and N3735w are available now and carry suggested prices of $599, $699, and $899 respectively. The televisions come with a one-year warranty.

The Beats Pill is back, baby!
A pair of Beats Pill speakers.

In what's been one of the worst-kept secrets of the year -- mostly because subtly putting a product into the hands of some of the biggest stars on the planet is no way to keep a secret -- the Beats Pill has returned. Just a couple of years after Apple and Beats unceremoniously killed off the stylish Bluetooth speaker, a new one has arrived.

Available for preorder today in either black, red, or gold, the $150 speaker (and speakerphone, for that matter) rounds out a 2024 release cycle for beats that includes the Solo Buds and Solo 4 headphones, and comes nearly a year after the Beats Studio Pro.

Ifi’s latest DAC is the first to add lossless Bluetooth audio
Ifi Audio Zen Blue 3 DAC (front).

Ifi Audio's new Zen Blue 3 wireless digital-to-analog converter (DAC) will officially be available to buy for $299 on July 9. When it is, it will be the first device of its kind to support a wide variety of Bluetooth codecs, including Qualcomm's aptX Lossless, the only codec that claims to deliver bit-perfect CD quality audio over a Bluetooth connection.

Admittedly, there are very few devices on the market that can receive aptX Lossless (and fewer that can transmit it), so it's a good thing that the Zen Blue 3 also works with the more widely supported aptX Adaptive, LDAC, and LDHC/HWA codecs (all of which are hi-res audio-capable), plus the three most common codecs: AAC, SBC, and aptX.

The new Beats Pill might replace Sonos on my back porch

If I were to build an outdoor stereo in 2024, I'd do it with a pair of portable Beats Pills instead of Sonos speakers. Phil Nickinson / Digital Trends

In 2017, after more than a decade in our home, my wife and I added a pool. With it came a covered deck, making what basically was a new outdoor room. Not uncommon at all in Florida, but new to us.
