ADVANCE DIGITAL TECHONOLOGY TEL EVISION
THE HANNS TIME SQURE
It's inspired by a 'man's watch' apparently, mixing timekeeping on one dial with a 12-inch LCD and a further dial that's a 'meteorological information centre', offering information on temperature and humidity.
The dials might look like they get in the way, but you'll be pleased to know that they fold back and tuck away via hinged arms for full-screen viewing.
Other features include rear speakers with angle adjustment and a metal watch-inspired stand.
AQUiVO weather-resistant LCD TV - even fireman-proof
How do you show the toughness of your weather-resistant TV Well, in the case of the AQUiVO LCD, you get the local fire brigade round to fire their hoses at it.
From that, we can safely assume it's water-tight, so should be good for the rest of the British summer and beyond. Available in screen sizes from 26-inch to 55-inch (the largest weatherproof screen on the market), it also features a fully-sealed, lightweight aluminium frame and a toughened glass front, with anti-reflective technology for when the sun does shine.
This HD-ready TV, which is pitched at beer gardens and garden lovers alike, also comes with an insurance policy and anti-theft bracket - just in case someone else takes a liking to it. Available now, price on request.

LG has gone mental and made a TV out of gold
As if TVs weren't expensive enough already. The new LG Luxury Gold home theatre system is plastered with 24 carat gold, and is the most needless, pointless and overpriced innovation in home cinema since Blu-ray and HD-DVD came along. The ludicrously OTT 71" set, which uses PDP technology to display its HD pictures, is capable of the full 1080p HD experience, so you know you're getting your money's worth. Sort of.If you're literally insane or a Russian oil billionaire looking for a complete cinema system to match the downstairs loo or spare yacht, the LG Luxury Gold PDP telly is also available with a matching DVD player and audio system, capable of chucking out 500 watts of sound.
Ultra-thin OLED TVs from Sony
The TV sets come with a much thinner panel than LCDs because it uses organic light-emitting diode technology - the panels with OLED TVs are just 3mm thick. But don't expect a room-filling OLED TV - the first model is expected to feature just an 11-inch screen.
The specification will be announced nearer the official launch, but should include 1024 x 600 pixels across the 1,000,000:1 contrast panel capable of 8-bit RGB colour. Oh yes, it should also feature a high price tag, as you would expect for any jump in technology.
Exact details as soon as we have them.
