According to Philips, its new 22OXW9 LightFrame LCD PC monitor is "proven to reduce eye fatigue," making your PC-based life slightly easier to tolerate. It does this in the same way Philips' range of HDTVs have been doing it for years - powering up a backlight to bathe the sides of the screen, and your wall, and your desk, in a relaxing glow.

No, this isn't another of the endless teasers about the Dell E, this is actually about the Medion Mini as announced at IFA 2008. The only problem is that Medion didn't bother sending out any pictures and, what with the famous Dell pencil, it seemed like the perfect image to get across the sense of what I'm talking about. So, the market launch of the Medion Akoya Mini E1211 is planned for October for the rather uncomfortable price of 400 Euros, which works out at the current exchange rate as far too many pounds, £321 to be precise - Dusty Bin not included.

I took a look at the full Epson line-up over in Japan, and now, finally, I can share it with you guys. It's some good looking projectorism, including a DVD playing model, one made especially for gaming and a final flagship full HD model.

Home projectors are often seen as only an option for those who refer to their home as a 'crib'. But what if there was one for less than the cost of a kidney? Awesome, no? The DM2 isn't designed to replace your TV, but it's an option for when you want the cinema experience, but can't be bothered to have a shower and face the outside world.

The projector includes an in-built DVD player. You just stick the DVD in, set it up to project on a wall and let the inbuilt speakers deal with the sound. There's just one power plug needed, so no need to set up.

A PS3 is a PS3 is a PS3, so how exactly do you one-up-man your best mate in the console wars? Add a home projector, of course. Suddenly, Wii tennis becomes more Wimbledon than ever before, and Manhunt becomes downright terrifying.

The colours on this projector in gaming mode and designed to be punchy and bright, as opposed to focusing on getting the natural skin tones of Mario and friends (he always did look a little pale). There's an HDMI input, and it projects in 720p, and there are in-built speakers to minimise the wires for you to trip over. There's also an SD card slot, for simple slideshow functionality and music playback.

TomTom release details of three new sat nav systems that might help make your commute less stressful. The new systems are equipped with dynamic navigation that helps you avoid any major traffic snarls as well as take into consideration the time of day, weather conditions and local traffic info.

There are three new models, the TomTom GO 940 LIVE, GO 740 LIVE and GO 540 LIVE, and they connect to TomTom's high definition traffic service, which means live information regarding any accidents or traffic hotspots.

LG are joining the UMPC race with a little laptop all of their own-some. They seem to be selling it on the fact that it's available in a variety of colours (pink, black and white) but it actually has pretty decent specs as well. It's equipped with WLAN 802.11 and Ethernet for quick connections and has an 80GB hard drive, which isn't bad for such a small computer. When you compare this, with its 10 inch screen and full size keyboard to the recently launched Fizzbook, it's a clear winner, but then they are different markets.

Medion has announced a pile of new PCs at IFA today, ranging from its AKOYA Nettop PC - a slimline desktop powered by Intel's fashionable Atom - to illuminated monsters like the ERAZER X7303 D Game PC, for gamers who won't even look at something unless its plastered in blue LEDs and has all its things measured in terabytes.

So here's a look at the whole lot of them.

It's not just Sony playing the thin TV game, with Sharp announcing its latest AQUOS XS1 LCD TV and now they've announced another one - the AQUOS D65E.

This premium 1080p-capable range - a slightly thicker television - may not be as thin as the XS1, but it does offer 20,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and 450cd/m2 brightness. Sharp also claims an "environmentally conscious design". Sharp hasn't mentioned any of its other features at present, but as a premium TV, It should pack in most of Sharp's audiovisual technologies.

Last year, this seriously skinny LCD TV was just another highly anticipated concept TV. Fast forward 365 days and it's now in full blown production. So that means we get to put our coveting into purchasing action very soon. We're being told October. At .9 inches (23mm), it's just under an inch thick and comes in either 52 or 65-inch models. It also displays 1080p, has a contrast ratio of 10,000:1 and a 6ms response time.

As Logitech has delivered some pretty decent speakers in the past, I'm going to overlook the strange name of their latest product - the Squeezebox Boom. I'm also going to turn a blind-eye to its unattractive design as the specs are pretty top notch. For a start they're wireless, so you can stream your tunes from any room in your house, and it's packed with a built-in digital amplifier, with 3-inch subwoofers and 3/4-inch tweeters to deliver what sounds like some pretty decent sound.

Summary: Samsung shows us the X360 Notebook, and explains how this is the lightest model to ever hit the market.

16:13 We're welcomed and told that topic today is Lighter than Air. I know it's a notebook, so I'm guessing it's going to be pretty portable.

16:19 We get a video to watch! Woo hoo! Smiling women pose in front of computers and go skiing. Next we see a machine tapping away at a keyboard and a close up of the bullseye in archery. Clearly this means the new laptop is a death defying machine which can do many things; I'm thinking a multitasking processor?

Blu-ray may have won the format war, but that doesn't mean Toshiba are sheepishly going to join the other side. Oh no. In fact, they reckon they've got upscaling technology that means you can forgo Blu-ray for a little while longer.

Their new Regza ZF TV line will upscale the existing TV signal to 'near HD quality' using their Resolution+ technology. It will play 24fps, have a contrast ratio of 30,000:1 and use 10-bit colour processing. The TVs themselves will be 1080p, should you want to plug in your own high def source (traitor).

Dan is loving it over at IFA, he can hardly contain himself. 'The show has barely begun and already I'm getting excited about the pending UK release of robotic hoovers. This is actually a little footage I grabbed last night of the Roomba and Scoomba from the slightly "er...didn't they call a film that?" company, also known as iRobot.'

If the thought of shelling out upwards of 500 quid on proper surround sound speakers fills you with dread, Philips might have something for you. This is a miniature home cinema set up designed for those with a small budget, or for people who want decent sound quality for the second TV in their bedroom. Unfortunately, we're yet to find out the price, since this will make all the difference as to whether it's the Best Thing Ever or Something Else Entirely.

Things they have confirmed since I've shot the video: the DVD player will upscale your DVDs, and the UK launch date has been put back to the beginning of next year.

The buzzwords are back, and this time it's 'essence'. Philips has taken the essence of a TV with their new range, and delivered a 'TV solution' which keeps things clean and simple.

Since 40% of people who would like to mount their TV don't, they've made the process dead simple. Once you've mounted the included wall bracket, you can level the TV the same way you would a picture, since the TV moves on the mount. At 16.5 kilos, even I should be able to lift it.

If you're after blacks blacker than black, and you know your contrast ratio from your elbow, the new Philips 9800 series is right up your street. Tagged 'pure performance' it uses all Philips technology to get the best picture - their HD engine, Pixel Perfect technology and the like.

The new stuff comes with the LED Lux though. Rather than the 16 lamps that other LCD TVs use as backlighting, this range has 128 difference segments arranged in a grid, making a total of 1152 LEDs. Each segment can be dimmed individually, which means if one area of the picture needs backlighting, that doesn't automatically get replicated across the picture - your blacks stay black. They quote a dynamic contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1.

Susan here is impressing her friend with the new Cyber-shot T500, which Sony has just revealed at IFA 2008.

The minuscule snapper boasts a spec-sheet-pleasing 10.1 megapixels, plus the ability to record videos at official HD Ready 1280x720 resolution, in MPEG4 AVC/H.264 format, for proper HD playback on the widescreen TV of your choice - although recording time is limited to 10 minutes per clip. You'll fit a fair few on the supplied 4GB Memory Stick, mind.

Sony has announced a size 0 TV here at IFA today, claiming the crown of Thinnest LCD TV At This Current Place in Time (Sharp's press conference is on now....). It's called the ZX1, and it's going to be available throughout Europe from December, although we currently don't know the price. At just 9.9mm thick with a 40-inch screen size, it's a much more sensible option than the OLED 3.3mm 11-inch screen they're finally making available in the UK this month.

Most of the Sony Walkman series was leaked last week, but it seems we may have missed a trick. Their flagship range, the S series, actually does some pretty cool stuff.

At just 7.5 mm thick, it's thin. Really, really thin. But luckily, there's more. There's also a 2-inch LCD screen, which will come I handy for watching the BBC iPlayer stuff it allows you to download. This has previously been protected from playback (you can stream it on the iPod Touch) so this is some pretty unique stuff.
