LG 50PY3D Plasma Flat Panel
he 50PY3D LG plasma flat panel offers 50 inches of full 1080p high definition. You can watch your favorite programs in HD with the deep blacks and vibrant colors that plasma televisions are known for. The native 1920 x 1080p resolution on the 50PY3D provides the most detailed resolution currently possible. Three HDMI connections mean you can hook up to your high-tech components and enjoy HD audio and video through a single cable. LG’s proprietary features like the XD Engine, SimpLink, and image sticking minimization make life with this 50″ plasma screen even better.
Six distinct processes contribute to picture improvement. But whats important to know is that LG’s XD Engine takes the low resolution of analog signals to near HD levels by improving brightness, contrast, and detail. It also reduces signal noise, which is a common trouble-maker for image quality. Since this technology attacks both aspects of analog signal issues, the overall result is cinema-like high resolution images on your 1920 x 1080p plasma screen.
The 50PY3D already provides the convenience and future proofing of HDMI. It also adds LG SimpLink technology so all your LG products can work together that much more easily. SimpLink allows for convenient control of other LG SimpLink products using the existing HDMI connection. So your LG television can talk to your LG Blu-ray Disc player with minimal involvement from you.
Toshiba postpones OLED TV plans
oshiba Corp of Japan has delayed the development of ultra-thin OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) TVs, because of the high costs associated with mass production.
Its plan to develop a 30in OLED TV for sale in 2009 has been abandoned. However, the company still plans to produce small OLED displays for mobile phones in 2008.
The company hasn’t cancelled its OLED TV plans completely - it will keep an eye on the market and would consider restarting development if it becomes commercially viable to do so.
Toshiba is concerned about the higher power consumption of OLED TVs. On a 30in model, this is up to three times more than the power consumption of an LCD panel of the same size.
Toshiba is also concerned about the production costs of the OLED panel for the 30in model, which was being developed by TMD.
Lower cost production technology is expected to be available around 2010, which would help make OLED TVs more cost-effective to manufacture.
Sony has already released an OLED TV and Samsung is planning to 14in OLED TVs by 2010.
Sharp unwraps 32-inch, 1080p AQUOS gaming TV
Thursday, December 6, 2007Sharp ventured outside the movie-centric sphere of TVs on Thursday by upgrading its AQOUS TVs with the LC-32GP3U, the second iteration of the company's uniquely gaming-oriented HDTV range. The 32-inch screen has optimizations meant just for consoles with a Vyper Drive processing mode that focuses on cutting the screen's lag time for action games. A game mode button on the remote not only activates the faster response times but optionally switches to a specific video input for a favorite game system.
In spite of its size and claimed performance, the set manages the full 1080p resolution available to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and uses dynamic lighting to reach a 10,000:1 contrast ratio. Inputs are provided not just for dual HDMI 1.3 devices with x.v.Color (Deep Color) support but also VGA for home theater PCs and a subwoofer connection to add bass without needing extra satellite speakers.
Sharp will veer away from its typical practices of releasing only black TVs in the US and anticipates shipping red and white versions of the GP3U to match gamers' tastes. All three will sell for $1,600 and should be available later this month.
Affordable and almost FullHD
Byd:Sign comes up with a couple HD Televisions featuring HDMI and 1080p support: the LW-2200AHU (22 inches) and the LW-2600AHU (26 inches).
The 22 inch model displays a strange 1680x1050 resolution (mostly used on PC monitors), along with a 1000:1 contrast, 300cd/m2 brightness, and 5ms response.
The 26 inch version uses the standard 1366x768 HD Ready resolution, which means a smaller resolution on a bigger screen, and 800:1, 400cd/m2 + 8ms.
Prices are set around 340 to 430€.

The BD-P1400 also supports 60Fs for enhanced compatibility with other HDTVs on the market. Bitstream technology is also supported by the player.

Mitsubishi LT-40133 high-definition LCD
This set is taking color to a new level by supporting x.v. Color. This enables 80% more color than standard HDTV’s. This more efficient process allows the 133 Series televisions to display a wider range of colors, brighter colors and whiter whites.
Additional color features such as Deep Color, Color 4D Video Noise Reduction, and PerfectColor allow for additional advanced color processing and adjustment. PerfectColor is an exclusive Mitsubishi feature that gives you the ability to adjust the intensity of colors independent of each other and separately for every input. The result is Color Without Compromise.
HDMI 1.3 (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is the latest incarnation of the original uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI 1.3 provides an interface between an audio/video source, such as a set-top box or DVD player to send digital audio and video over a single cable. HDMI 1.3 supports standard enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable.
HDTVs can display any video signal, but you’re not buying a high-definition television to view a standard 4:3 picture. You’re buying a high-definition television to enjoy the richest, most sumptuous, highest resolution picture available. With a 1080p HDTV, even the high quality 720p and 1080i HDTV signals being broadcast need to be reformatted in order to fill the TV screen with a sharp, clear picture.
Keep your signal the way it was meant to be seen. Mitsubishi’s Tru1080p processing maintains 1080p high-definition signals as 1080p from beginning to end. All 1080p DVI-I, HDMI, IEEE 1394, and 1080p broadcast signals are passed through with no down conversions. The advancements of 1080p DLP technology for HDTV viewing deliver over two million pixels to you on-screen for a full and true 1920 x 1080 resolution. With Mitsubishi 1080p DLP HDTVs, you can experience the best that high definition has to offer today and be ready to enjoy all of the 1080p sources that are on the horizon.
Connecting home theater components is made even easier with Mitsubishi’s ClearThought Easy Connect. ClearThought simplifies set-up and day-to-day use. During set up, it recognizes each input as it is plugged in, prompts the user to name it, enters it into the Device Menu and only shows used inputs.
Venturer launching SHD7001 low-cost HD DVD player
Venturer is launching its SHD7001 HD DvD player in late December. The low-cost, standalone player is similar to the SHD7000 model, which Venturer demonstrated at the IFA exhibition in August.
The player is compatible with 720p and 1080i high definition and can upscale standard definition content via HDMI. It is backward compatible with DVD and offers Dolby TrueHD (5.1 channel) sound.
An Ethernet connection is included for home networking, plus a range of other analogue and digital outputs.
The SHD7001 will be available exclusively from the QVC home shopping channel from 29th December. The price has not yet been announced.
For a limited period it will come bundled with two HD DVDs (Hulk and Troy), and an HDMI cable.
Toshiba 42HL67U Projection LCD TV
DynaLight Dynamic Backlight Control completes the cast as it monitors the brightness level of each video frame, and automatically adjusts the backlight intensity based on the image content. Precise signal analysis affords 256 levels of backlight intensity. This creates dynamic contrast up to 5 times that of the original panel contrast, resulting in a deeper black level that increases detail and depth, even in low light environments.
And to get TV signals to this extraordinary LCD panel, there’s a built-in NTSC/ATSC/QAM digital tuner to capture over-the-air standard and high definition broadcasts as well as unencrypted digital cable programming.
High definition 720p (1366 x 768 pixel) native resolution assures finely detailed images. This LCD projector is lightweight, but still provides rich colors and sharp contrast for a huge, high-quality image. The HD Dynamic Contrast feature of the 42HL67U increases contrast and color saturation to create deep, rich images. Its intelligent circuitry analyzes both the dark and bright areas of the picture, and separately optimizes the dynamic range in each area of the picture. The six TheaterWide screen modes are ideal for HDTV signals and enhanced DVDs, allowing you to crop the screen image just the way you like it.
Quality images may be what you desire most, but the audio features on this TV aren’t anything to sneeze at either. Toshiba’s 42HL67U creates a dramatically improved home theater sound with a 20-watt total power output delivered through a new SoundStrip Speaker System, a new speaker technology using a thin-line speaker design with enhanced dynamic range.
This eliminates the big round speakers, without losing any of the big home theater sound. SRS WOW technology creates a more enveloping sound with enhanced bass and better dialogue reproduction. This system is a combination of three unique soundfield enhancements: SRS 3D TruSurround to create a wide, three-dimensional sound field from two TV speakers, TruBass for boosting bass for dramatic low frequency effects, and, FOCUS to raise the sound image vertically for clearer voices, even at lower volume levels.
