Bush is doing its usual cut-price thing, this time with HD-ready TV, offering the LCD15W008HD with HDMI connectivity.
What it doesn’t seem to have is a digital tuner, which would seem a little more important than going HD-ready with a small screen. After all, if you’ve shelled out on some HD kit, even something like a PS3, chances are you’d want to see it on a large screen. But if you want something small, this offers a screen resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, Nicam stereo sound, Teletext, 4:3/16:9 auto-switching, 100 programme memory, sleep time and child lock.
It also has a Scart connection as well as the HDMI. If you want one, it’s available from May, priced at £169.99.

Subtitles are a two-edged sword - some people love them while others loathe them. I personally find it distracting, but folks at Madrid’s Carlos III University for the Spanish Center for Subtitles and Closed Captions has developed a pair of Subtitle Glasses that gives subtitles even in a subtitle-free show. At least viewers in a public now have the freedom of choosing the option of having subtitles on or not. The Subtitle Glasses will retrieve information from a computer as long as it remains within a 50 meter range via an integrated receptor, projecting these subtitles onto the microscreen which is fitted over the right hand lens.

The strap is made of polycarbonate, and is waterproof up to 10 meters. Besides displaying the time and date, if you happen to glance at the watch between 9 pm and 3 am, it will show funky animations in a scrolling pattern, thanks to its electro luminescent band. At least you’ll have something to look at during commercials of American Idol!
Available in pink, brown, and white, the Pixel Watch sells for £80
