Since more and more LCD TVs are glossy and plasmas are living longer, is there any point paying the premium?
Posted by admin in lcd tvs on 07 23rd, 2010Hardly any shopping sites tell you if the TV is matte or glossy. Since I don’t really mind about thickness, is there any point paying for a 50 inch LCD TV screen (e.g. Sony, Samsung) if it is also going to be shiny like a much cheaper plasma? I would be prepared to pay more for a matte version but it just seems like pot luck what you actually get because the manufacturers don’t seem to (want to) specify.
Plasmas are the way to go if you have a room that is not super bright. I have a 54" plasma in my living room with 3 large windows that lets in a moderate amount of light, but the tv I got has an excellent built-in glare filter. The LG plasmas don’t quite cut glare, but are ultra-slim. The Samsungs are not as good with the glare either, and they have "buzzing" problems as well. The Panasonic plasmas are the best way to go. I’d recommend G20/G25 series (top of the line non-3D series) and above (3D) because of the anit-glare they use compared to the lower models. Plasmas can also produce a wider array of colors, and because of LCD coloring technology and back-lighting, their blacks are nowhere near the quality of a plasma (G20/25 are "infinite black") and I personally think LCD/LED’s produce fake, or cartoonish displays. The plasmas can also handle motion (action movies, sports, even games) much better than LCD/LED due to the fact they can run a 600hz refresh rate, versus that of a high-end LCD/LED at 240hz. And the G25 is Energy Star compliant for those that say they consume lots of power. It does run a little warmer, but if power consumption is a point of concern, it meets the requirements to be Energy Star.
I own a LCD tv and a Plasma tv. I considered a LED before my Plasma purchase because so many people say they are "better" but I just didn’t see it, literally. Plasma is a superior technology that people are afraid of because of burn-in, glare and buzzing. Burn-in and glare are pretty much a thing of the past with the right tv. The Panasonic G25 has what is called "Pixel Orbiter" which shifts the screen by a pixel column/row or two (not noticable at all) that runs automatically and it comes with a an option to run a screen "wipe" that just runs vertical bars for 15 minutes. I have never used the wipe, but I hear it helps if you experience some burn-in from a static image (logos, games, etc) or black bars. Buzzing, well, some brands do it a lot (Samsungs apparently) and most do not. From my research, you are probably better off staying away from a Samsung plasma until they fix the buzzing issue.
Choosing between Plasma and LCD/LED is a tough decision, but do some research in your price range and consider lighting, room size, connections, refresh rates, colors, etc. LED was not right for me, but maybe it is for you.
Good luck!
Newegg Review: LG 47″ LED-LCD TV and HDTV Tech Tips
Posted by admin in lcd tvs on 07 21st, 2010
http://www.newegg.com
Today we’re taking a closer look at an LED-backlit LCD TV from LG, the 47LE5400.
This TV features a crisp, clear LCD display and the inherent benefits of LED-backlighting: better contrast and less power consumption. Networking features are an excellent addition as well, and the TV’s on-screen display makes it simple to get the TV connected to online streaming services like Netflix.
If you’re interested in some more info on HDTVs in general, we’ve also included some tips to de-mystify some of the new technology such as watching 3D movies and video games.

Testing of Philips 42″ LCD tv (part 2)
Posted by admin in lcd tvs on 07 15th, 2010
This is only part 2 (of 2) of the test – Testing Net-tv, Mediaplayer, PC-connection, Startup, Remote, Settings assistant etc.
In my quest to find a new tv, I’ve finally settled on this 42″ Philips PFL8694 LCD:
Philips 42PFL8694
Size: 42″ LCD panel, 3ms
Resolution: 1920×1080 (Full HD)
Ambilight (only on the sides)
100hz (with motionflow-funtions)
Mpeg4 tuner (DVB-T and DVB-C)
2x12w speakers (w Incredible Surround)
DLNA, Internetbrowser, Net TV and USB-mediaplayer
I felt obligated to test this TV, as I have previously done with the Sony W5500 and Samsung B650 (see my other video) to show whom ever may be in the same hellhole that is “shopping for a new tv” why exactly this one (as opposed to the other I have tested) passed my strict quality requirements 
. Again: I’m not an expert in this field, so take my test and opinion as another users view. Also: my SD handycam is really not optimal for this kind of recording, so be aware that the picture quality is in reality.. better (to say the least). The camcorder also sometimes cause a bit of fuzziness due to autofocus and high brightness due to auto contrast (sorry about this).
This model is in many ways identical to other Philips series 8000 models (according to the philips webpage), so my test will probably mostly apply to the whole range of 8000 models of the same size (except for the remote + some do have 10w speakers and other IMO minor differences).
Settings:
Contrast: 73
Light: 53
Colour: 53
Sharpness: 5
Noise reduction: Off
Colourtone: Usual (111, 85, 47, 8, 9)
Light sensor: Off
Pixel precise HD:
- Perfect Natural motion: On/off (dependent on content, but mostly ON)
- 100hz: On/off (dependent on content, but mostly ON)
- Advanced sharpness: On (I like it sharp )
- Dynamic contrast: Minimal
- Dynamic backlight: Best picture
- Mpeg artifact reduction: On
- Colour correction: Off
I’ve not really meddled much with sound or ambilight settings yet.. but I will probably do it at some point.
Key results:
+ Great SD and HD quality
+ Vibrant delicious colours
+ Very good sound (for a TV)
+ Ambilight (on some content)
+ Easy to find good stable settings
+ Net-functions are almost usable
(unlike Sony and Samsung variant)
+ Remote is really well designed
+ No visible uneven backlighting
+ Silent operation (no buzzing or whining)
+ Overall all-around good quality
set with no major fallbacks
- Slow startup (approx. 10-12 sec)
- Slow channelchange (2-3 sec)
- Abilight can be intrusive
(can be adjusted or turned off)
- Black-levels are not fantastic (but more than ok)
- Some problems with auto-format and
missing 4:3 option on some TV-trans.
UPDATE: This is resolved by choosing Auto-format in the formatmenu (picture) and then Auto-zoom in the Auto-format menu.
- Menus a bit slow and missing
rollarround function (ie go up to get down)
makes navigation harder than it needs to be
- Net-tv is too slow to be really usable
NB: most of these are minor details and
some are common problems on many tvs
Main conclusion: I really like this tv, and as opposed to the W5500 and B650 I really feel that this tv is well built and of good quality all around. No uneven backlight issues and no buzzing noises. This overall “Good product quality” stamp is what made me choose this Philips. Because when I buy something with this kind of price tag, I expect everything to be “in order”.. which I did not quite feel that I got with the previous Sony and Samsung models.
In reality, it comes down to your personal priorities regarding whats important. The Samsung had the best picture clarity (because of crystal tech) and the Sony had the best motion flow technology. But in my case these aspects were countered by some things just being “out of order”.. like uneven back lighting (W5500) and a annoying buzzing sound (B650). To some.. these things will not matter, but overall.. I’m confident that the Philips I have chosen will give me the best TV and Movie experience.

Samsung 70″ full HD LCD TV with local dimming technology | samsung 70" tv
Posted by admin in lcd tvs on 07 9th, 2010
SEOUL, Korea (AVING) — Samsung Electronics has introduced its 70 inch commercially available full high-definition LCD TV in Korea.
The new TV employs a light-emitting diode (LED) backlight instead of the conventional cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) version. Moreover, Samsung’s unique local dimming technology enables the LED backlight to be turned off in dark image areas, delivering a dynamic contrast ratio of 500,000:1. At the same time, power consumption is lowered by as much as fifty percent.
Meanwhile, Samsung’s LED scanning eliminates the flicker and ghosting problems associated with large-screen lcd tvs.
Samsung plans to put the product on sale worldwide in the second half of this year.

Whats the difference between Led-Lcd tvs and LCD tv’s? | led lcd tvs
Posted by admin in lcd tvs on 07 6th, 2010Whats the difference between Led-Lcd tvs and LCD tv’s?
Which has better quality?
And which is usually cheaper?
A lot of people want to know the difference between Plasma, LCD and LED-LCD HDTV’s as well as which one is better than the other. The bottom line is that LED-LCD televisions are the newest technology and are superior to Plasmas and LCD’s in virtually every way. Yes, they are slightly more expansive, but they are worth it if you can afford it. Below is a chart where I scored all three of these technologies with 3-points for best performing and 1-point for lease performing. The total scores speak for themselves.
Trying to figure out if Plasma’s are better that LCD’s or vice versa is slightly more difficult. It really depends on what you will be using the TV for. Some time ago I have written an article for eHow on this subject and you are welcome to read it.
