Tony — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 12:56:29 +0000

Philips has finally presented its Essence HDTV extremely light at IFA this year. It is quite surprising to see a HDTV weighing just 16kg. Well, this is possible because most of its components are in a separate case, leaving only one cable for power, image and audio to the screen.

Measuring a super-slim 38mm at its thinnest point, the Essence HD LCD TV boasts a refresh rate of just 2ms and a full 1080p resolution. It also offers three HDMI ports. Each purchase includes a bracket to hang the Essence Philips TV on the wall. Price: $3709 (€2500/£2016)

The convergence arrived on HDTVs, and it is the LCD HDTV Westinghouse SK-32H570D which has a DVD player – sorry guys, it’s very far compared to the technological marvel of Allio. Apart from the DVD player, the features of the SK-32H570D include: -

Two HDMI ports

Support for 720p and 1080i resolutions
Display of 1366×768 pixels

Mitsubishi LaserVue: HDTV with laser technology

Tony — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 22:35:37 +0000

I have no idea about a laser beam improves the picture or not, but you can pay $7000 to find out.

In 2005, Samsung had shown an OLED screen of 40″, but it does not support HD and the contrast ratio remained stationed around 5,000:1. The new 40″ Samsung OLED is only 8.9mm thick and features deserve two seconds of attention.

The prototype displays FullHD 1080p resolution and a contrast ratio to make scream specialists “in sham” and marketing departments “but not” of 1,000,000:1.

It displays 107% of color of the NTSC standard (which must miss colors, apparently) and a brightness of 200cd/m2 (Max 600cd/m2).

Unfortunately, Samsung is quick to clarify that its production lines for OLED displays can not exceed 31-inch of diagonal, but their road map normally provides yet for 2010. Suddenly, you start to perhaps thinking about changing your Home Theater …
