“Sets the standard” is an overused phrase in the tech world, but it’s accurate in describing NuVision’s Lucidium FX5 LS series of amazingly thin, edgelit LED flat panel displays. At a depth of 1.5 inches, the panel is ultra slim and, with all buttons hidden on the side and back, the bezel is ultra clean. And that’s before you turn it on. The picture is nothing short of stunning, thanks to an FFM (frame forward motion) processor that yields spectacular clarity and a true white light that produces crisp, clean colors and pure whites that were previously unachievable. The displays also feature green technology that is mercury-free and uses 40 percent less power than conventional CCFL backlit flat screens. Visit www.nuvision.com to learn more.

Technically, the new Creston TPMC-3X Handheld WiFi Touchpanel is a remote control, but it feels more like a magic wand. It combines performance, ergonomics and elegance to deliver the best remote control for AV and environmental systems. Its sleek form feels good in the hand, the pushbuttons are large and tactile, and the electroluminescent backlit text offers terrific readability in a darkened room. The TPMC-3X delivers a surprising omni-directional range of up to 50 feet, giving you the luxury of freedom of movement with no line-of-sight restrictions. Watch TV, choose a movie or music title, adjust your room temperature and lighting, check the security system, or even monitor live video right on the built-in touchscreen. If only it could make popcorn, too. Visit www.creston.com for more details.
