fixyourdlpPosted on November 2, 2007 Posted in TV Reviews — No Comments ↓

The Panasonic TH-42PHD8UK is a flat panel display that uses the plasma technology and has a screen size of 42 inches when measured diagonally. It is basically from the professional series of plasmas and is sold mostly to various businesses. The set was priced at just below $3000 at the time of release. All the professional series models have been quoted to use the same glass as the consumer models. If this is true then even the consumer models should be equally appealing. The styling of the cabinet has been given a very simple and modest yet elegant look. It comes without speakers and the all black cabinet is just 40 inches in width.

The 42-inch screen size is very popular among the people as the size and price both are quite reasonable. The native display resolution offered by the Panasonic TH-42PHD8UK is 1024 by 768, which is quite close to high definition but falls a bit short. The negative side of the set is that it is just a monitor and comes with the primary analog inputs. Also it does not have any tuners either digital or analog. Ironically, a consumer model the TH-42PX50U has all the above said features and yet is priced the same. The clarity offered by the set was certainly better than 480p even though it cannot be compared to the high definition. The black levels too were much better for a plasma.

Sony Grand Wega KF-60DX100 rear projection TV

fixyourdlpPosted on October 30, 2007 Posted in TV Reviews — No Comments ↓

The Sony KF-60DX100 is a rear projection television that uses the LCD technology and has a screen size of 60 inches when measured diagonally. As far as price and quality are concerned the CRT’s give the best performance. However, a typical rear projection television, which uses the CRT technology, will weigh more than 250 pounds and take up a lot of space. This made it quite necessary to search for different technologies, which gave rise to the DLP, LCD, D-ILA and a few other technologies. Even though most of the technologies have not been able to match the black levels and contrast ratios offered by a CRT television, they have made plenty of progress as far as the picture quality is concerned.

The Sony KF-60DX100 offers an aspect ratio of 16:9 and has a design, which at first glance looks very much like the plasmas. However the set is too deep to be hung on, the wall has to be used as a tabletop. Overall, the set is very wide and short. It weighs around 145 pounds, which is quite hefty for a 60 inch set. This can make the installation and moving a pretty difficult. Even the speakers are fitted to the cabinet at sides of the screen, which makes the set even wider. The native display resolution offered by the Sony KF-60DX100 is 1366 by 768, which is slightly more than 720p.

Philips 55PP9701 HD-ready rear-projection television:

fixyourdlpPosted on October 30, 2007 Posted in Philips — No Comments ↓

The Philips 55PP9701 is a rear projection television that is high definition ready. The design of the set is very simple and to some extent can even be said to be modest and yet very sleek. The cabinet is full black and the front side has been given a very clean look. The very thin bezel makes the screen appear to be larger while the set seems to be smaller. The set, at the time of release, was priced at a whopping $4700. Even though the set gives a fantastic performance out of the box, calibration improves the performance of the set to a great extent and offers a picture quality which makes you think that it was worth paying that kind of money for.

Overall, there was not much that the set went wrong with and will not matter much during daily viewing. The reds produced by the set seemed to be a lot more oversaturated. The Philips 55PP9701 was exceptionally good with the high definition broadcasts as well as DVD’s. The remote is a bit of trouble as only a few of the buttons light up and may take a while to learn where all the buttons are. Apart from the minor complaints, the performance of the set is fantastic and does not disappoint at all.

The Sony KF-50WE610 like most of the LCD television sets struggles with the black levels even though they are quite good for an LCD. The picture quality of the set shows an immense improvement after calibration, which makes it a necessity. The greens are a bit too vivid and bright even though the details levels were quite superior. All in all, the Sony KF-50WE610 produced a good enough performance and is quite a good option considering the price.

Sony Qualia 006 70 inch SXRD RPTV

fixyourdlpPosted on October 29, 2007 Posted in TV Reviews — No Comments ↓

The Sony Qualia 006 is a rear projection television, which has a screen size of 70 inches when measured diagonally and uses the SXRD technology. As it is you need to shell out quite a bit of money when it comes to buying a set having a screen size of 70 inches. On top of that, the Sony Qualia 006 is one of the top end models and had a price tag of $13000 at the time of release. This certainly makes it one of costliest and is perhaps an option only for the rich. The first thing that comes to your mind when you take a first look at the set is that it is big, really big. The Sony Qualia 006 has an aspect ratio of 16:9 and has a native resolution of 1920 by 1080. Even when kept in a large room, it makes the room seem to be significantly smaller.

Overall, the front side of the cabinet has been given a very clean look. Primarily the cabinet is silver in color and a black bezel is used to house the screen. The huge size also makes the set very heavy, 273 pounds to be precise without the stand. This can make installing or moving the set very difficult. Overall the HDTV broadcasts were fantastic and offered high level of details although the detail levels could have been much better.
