    That pride, recently manifested in the form of a Sony Bravia KDL55NX810, the latest 3D-Ready HDTV LED. This 55-inch LED HDTV Dynamic Edge is different, breathtaking features that Sony’s position reaffirmed in the market.

    Besides many new and advanced features in this LED HDTV, Bravia Engine 3 is perhaps the one who sets it apart other brands in the market. Bravia 3 is the newest and most advanced processing system from Sony, which enables it to deliver exquisite image detail, vibrant colors and less noise. The photos are just real with no over-saturation of color marking.

    One excellent feature is the 24p True Cinema technology used in this TV. Conventional televisions are not capable of rendering smooth movies with 24 frames per second. You can force them to do, but will only lead to unnatural movements and blurred pictures. However, thanks to 24 pTrue Cinema technology, Bravia KDL55NX810 is able to see images of how they should be seen. As such, you will eventually make your movies in a similar quality as you experience in theaters.

    Televisions must be greater than 50 centimeters to truly enjoy the benefits of 1080p resolution brings to the consumer. This is exactly the reason why Samsung 8 different products with costs ranging from $ 2,500 to $ 4,500 offer. With all these TVs offer a wealth of features, the consumer can really wonder if it is safe to go for the most affordable model is currently the Samsung UN55C6300. An interesting thing to note is that the UN55C6300 is one of the newest additions to the Samsung 6 Series lineup. So it could very 55-inch TV that consumers are waiting for the budget.

    Looking at the TV from a distance does not really bring many surprises. It has Full HD 1080p resolution that is expected of a 55-inch model and the frontal design bears some similarities with some of the 2009 models are still sold today. However, the sides of the Samsung UN55C6300 show that the new model is even thinner than the older 55″ models that need new owners to persuade them to hang on the wall. Furthermore, it takes only two screws to hang the TV instead of the usual nine screws needed to hang average wall-mounted TV’s.

    The contrast ratio is taking it a step further shocks 4,000,000:1 very impressive for a budget 55-inch TV as other models like the UN55B6000 offer a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio is still cost over $ 3,000. Known as the Mega Contrast shades of black appear to be pure, while whites are significantly more pristine while the rest of the colors stay true, with the other technologies built into the Samsung TV. Contrast is increased further, thanks to the Ultra Clear Panel design aimed at reducing reflection.

    Finally, the Samsung UN55C6300 is more environmentally friendly than ever with the addition of the Eco sensor that automatically calibrates the brightness based on the lighting of the room to save energy consumption.

    As the Samsung UN55C6300 falls at the end of the spine when it comes to pricing, technology and not many extras make it on TV. This is not really that bad, as an important technology that have been conducted by chance, a good majority of people who really wanted a 55-inch TV actually can perform well benefit.

    The Auto Motion Plus 120 Hz technology works by eliminating blur duced when intensive animations occur. It works by expanding the action frame after they are carefully analyzed, resulting in sharper special effects in many popular high-definition titles. This technology can be trusted for some people as the previously conducted by mid-range and high-end models. The Blu-ray standard now stronger than ever, this technology a more significant and ultimately implemented in an affordable 55-inch TV. In combination with the Mega Contrast Ratio and Ultra Clear Panel, movies, video games and the usual HD shows should look great.

    As expected, the Samsung UN55C6300 do not have any form of online connectivity features normally reserved for higher-end models. However, the UN55C6300 communicate wirelessly with other devices much better than other models that are recommended only good HDMI integration. With the new AllShare function, the Samsung UN55C6300 now become part of the wireless network photos, music and videos can be transferred to and from the PC or other mobile device that has wireless capabilities. This may sound like an old technology, but All Share towers over existing technologies by creating multiple connections to be established. This means that multiple PCs, along with other devices can connect to the TV at the same time.

    Verdict

    The Samsung LED TV UN55C6300 is not really a breakthrough product on its own, but what makes this HDTV a winner is the great combination of both advanced and basic features, while somehow managing to stay under the $ 3,000 price tag. On top of that, there are a few new additions that are currently available in other 2010 models, so people can finally buy an affordable TV without really miss the good qualities found in higher-end TVs. The wireless functionality is an important step forward and the picture and sound quality are decent as expected with all models of Samsung.

    Samsung sent me a 55 inch version in my lab and this review will also apply to the 65″ (UN65C6500), 4o” (UN40C6500) and 32″ (UN32C6500) inches of this product, since the hardware specs are the same. The picture quality is the same and the only difference is the screen size. This TV is among the least expensive line to feature the apps platform.

    But the sexiest part of this panel is the thin profile that looks quite a feast for the eyes. Slew of TV shows gives a vanishing effect. It’s something I have not seen on other TVs so far. The panel is only 1.2 inches deep, which looks really cool. This TV can be hung on the wall, but it’s better if you keep the included stand, because the viewers will appreciate the slim profile.

    The Samsung has a slim glass UN55C6500 beyond the ring and makes the TV look even sexier. I would reiterate that this is the most compact and slimmest TVs I have ever had in my labs. The stand that is fairly unusual, you have four legs protruding from the bottom and up the screen. Some of my friends thought it a bit clumsy, but I really enjoyed it. It is one out of the box design. Some people are just like the rectangular or circular base under the TV.

    The Samsung is pretty well supplied UN55C6500 wise, the collection of apps is really good for this price. This panel can be connected to the Internet for viewing goodies like Hulu and Video on Demand. You also Hulu Plus, you will not find on TV now a different manufacturer. Samsung has a monopoly at the moment but it would soon come to other farm products. Hulu Plus gives you a huge movie database access from a variety of networks. I checked this feature and it worked very well.

    There is no built-in Wi-Fi for Samsung UN55C6500 and this meant that you will have to buy separately. Maybe Samsung dumped the Wi-Fi feature to maintain the slim panel. Applying the dongle can ruin the look of the TV, I would advise you to place strategically so that it is not easily seen. Or else you can always TV on the Internet to connect via ethernet, but it will hold wires dangling over the area.

    For connections, the Samsung UN55C6500 has a VGA port and four HDMI ports. You also get component video input. The TV is really slim and there is not much room for all connections, but you still get everything you need. Some had to be sacrificed to keep the slim TV. Above the HDMI ports, you have two USB ports. A USB port will be used for the wireless dongle. The other connection can be used to connect a camera to take photos and videos on the big screen.

  • Sony KDL-55HX800 LED HDTV Review

    Date: 2011.02.17 | Category: Sony | Response: 0

    When Sony’s Bravia KDL-55HX800 arrived in PC Labs, we could not wait to take a crowbar. (It came packaged in a solid wooden crate.) Once extracted, however, we treated with kid gloves. After all, this is the first 3D HDTV we test, and a fairly expensive one at that. While the HX800 Series is the least expensive of Sony’s family of 3D HDTV (the LX900 and HX909 are the other two), you would not know by this sharp 55-inch HDTV’s price tag. And by the time you add in 3D glasses for the family and a 3-channel, you’re in for about $ 4,000. And that does not include a 3D-capable Blu-ray player or discs. As with most brand-new technologies, you pay a premium on the ground floor. But the good news is that besides 3D, get the latest TV technologies including LED backlighting and a fast 240Hz refresh rate, which translates to a 2D photo is beautiful. That makes one of the 10 best HDTVs we’ve tested.

    Sony BRAVIA KDL 55HX800 Front Sony KDL 55HX800 LED HDTV Review

    With its clean lines and thin glossy black bezel, the HX800 is a good looking HDTV. Other than a few little status indicators and a polished chrome Sony logo in the center of the lower ring, the front of the set is very clean. This model uses a proprietary LED backlight technology called Dynamic Edge, a hybrid of sorts, consisting of edge-lit LEDs and a portion of the array of LEDs with local dimming. As a result, the HX800 is not nearly as thin as other models such as edge-lit LG 47LE5500, but still maintains a relatively slim profile. The cabinet is about 2 inches thick, except at the bottom where it extends from an additional ¾-inch to accommodate a pair of embedded down-firing speakers. The 50-pound panel is supported by a shiny black swivel stand that square on three sides, with a rounded back. With a screen this size I usually see a little wobble, and the HX800 is no exception. Still, it is much more stable than the Samsung LN55C650.

    The right side of the enclosure houses power, channel, volume and input selector controls, and a Home (menu) button. There is also an energy saving switch, which, when set to position, you can power the TV using the remote or the on-board button. Setting off mode is equal to the power cord. On the left side of the TV are two HDMI connections, a set of composite A/V ports and a USB port. Unlike the Samsung LN-55C650, which includes two USB ports, the HX800 is limited to one, meaning you Sony’s optional wireless LAN adapter (sold separately) and plug into a USB thumb drive for playing media in the same time. Most of the I / O ports are recessed into the rear of the cabinet and includes a 3D-Sync socket (optional) for 3D transmitter, an Ethernet port, coaxial TV and PC / VGA connectors, two sets of component A/V ports, stereo and optical audio outputs, and a PC audio input. About the only thing missing is a card reader as recorded on the Panasonic TC-P50G25 plasma.

    The HX800 comes with an attractive 8.6-inch matte black handset is equipped with a hollow face with 43 buttons and a 4-way rocker. The buttons are not illuminated, but they are clearly labeled and well distributed. The favorites, Menu, Options, and Display buttons are well positioned (around the rocker), making it easy to navigate any menu item without a glance at the remote. There is also a special 3D button to switch between 2D and 3D modes, a Qriocity (Sony video-on-demand service) button and a Scene button that allows you to choose one of six video presets (Cinema , Sports, Photo, Game, graphics, and general) in addition to the three major video modes (Standard, Vivid, and Custom) are available from the main menu. There is also a music preset for optimum music playback, and an Auto mode that video and audio output according to the source optimizes the signal. Car worked well enough for TV broadcast, but I found that the cinema before the best all-around photograph, especially when watching Blu-ray content delivered. The Internet Video button takes you to the Web applications menu system, and an i-Manual button launches a comprehensive online manual that features, components, how-tos, and tips for solving includes the HX800.

    Sony provided us with a 3D Blu-ray player for testing, along with Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, Monster vs. Aliens, and a demo disc with multiple scenes from the current 3-D movies, golf and football clips. Overall, the 3D effect is well implemented and fun to watch, but it’s not perfect. For starters, the picture is not as clear as in 2D, due to the dark lenses. You also get some ghosting around 3D images. In fairness, though, I have experienced in all 3D demos I’ve seen. The crosstalk seems worse the farther you move from the center of the screen.

    Although the cartoons are fun to watch, the sports scene showed the true appeal of 3D television. Watching the pros tee off and take pictures of the bunker had me feeling like I was sitting in the stands, and the view from behind the net during a FIFA World Cup game was also impressive. Yet fast action 3D hard on the eyes, it is difficult to follow, say, the flight of a ball with everything else going on in the background. Many of us felt in the lab varying degrees of tired eyes on full view. And we all agree that everything we saw on the HX800 looked better in 2D.

    The HX800 turned in a respectable contrast ratio of 2,814:1, as measured by our CS-200 Chroma Meter darkroom after a basic calibration. That number is slightly higher than what we saw of the Bravia KDL-52NX800, although this model comes slightly deeper blacks (0.09 cd/m2) than the HX800 (0.12 cd/m2). Samples from grayscale LCD display level diagnostic software showed no signs of paint or saturation, and the colors were very accurate.

    When it comes to 2D, the HX800 does an excellent job of displaying HD content, and SD performance is not bad. The set had no trouble passing the HD HQV edges, film resolution and HD-sound tests, and scenes from Repo Men and The Green Zone on Blu-ray discs were clean and very detailed. The quality of the X-Men Origins: Wolverine in HD via satellite labs box was also very good. Whatever the source, local dimming backlighting produced some minor blooming in some of the darker scenes, but it was minimal and not too distracting. Standard-definition TV broadcasts and DVD playback looked pretty good, except for the occasional jaggie. The HX800 struggled a bit with the standard-definition HQV test flag, indicating a minor weakness deinterlacing. Passing every other test easily.

    The kit uses an average of 171 watts, while displaying high-definition content from a Blu-ray player. This is slightly less than the 55-inch CCFL-based LN55C650 Samsung, but considerably more than the same size LED-backlit 55UX600U Toshiba, which an average of only 90 watts in our tests went. Based on the 2009 national average cost of 11.55 cents per kWh and assuming five hours per day using the HX800 will add about 10 cents a day (or $ 3 per month) to your energy bill.

    The biggest question you must ask yourself: Should you buy now a 3D TV? As with any new tech product type, 3D-TV has its flaws, some of which can be solved if the technology develops. That said, Sony Bravia KDL-55HX800 a good job of displaying the limited catalog of 3D content available today. More importantly, the 2D image quality is quite good, and it comes with a full complement of Web apps to keep you busy while you wait for more 3D content available. You get better overall performance of o Samsung’s 55-inch-LN55C650 for less money. But if you need 3D now, the HX800 is a good bet, just know that all the necessary accessories will greatly Jack the already expensive price.

  • Samsung LN55C650 HDTV Review

    Date: 2011.01.05 | Category: Samsung | Response: 0

    Although not a 3D-ready set, this 55-inch CCFL-backlit model is one of the best-performing LCD HDTVs we’ve seen in quite some time, offering deep blacks, high contrast ratio and stunning high def and standard-def picture quality is one of the 10 best HDTVs we’ve tested.

    Design and controls

    The LN55C650 sports an updated version of the familiar touch Samsung’s Color design, glossy black bezel is tinged with red accents, but the reddish effect is more subtle than the TOC finish used on LED-based last year UN40B7000. The cabinet measures 3.4 inches thick and sits on a rectangular base with an adjustable mounting arm that is a bit too thin to support the 62-pound 55-inch screen so there is a little wiggle. Another small gripe-labeling used to five touch-sensitive controls located on the right side of the lower ring is too small to identify and dark, making it almost unreadable, unless you happen to keep a flashlight handy. You’re better off using the supplied 8.25-inch remote control for all your modifications, as it has 43 good-size backlit buttons and a rocker, all clearly marked and responsive.

    Samsung LN55C650 Angle Samsung LN55C650 HDTV Review

    Connectivity

    You get a good selection of connectivity ports with this model. Two USB ports, a set of composite A / V jacks and an HDMI port mounted on the right side of the cabinet, and there are three additional HDMI ports around back. Also at the rear PC audio and video (VGA) inputs, two sets of component A / V ports, optical and analog audio outputs, a coaxial TV signal connector, and an Ethernet port (to the set connect to a network, there is no integrated Wi-Fi). All of the rear jacks are recessed and provide a little leeway for connecting cables when the device is attached to the wall.

    Sound and Vision Controls

    Image adjustment options are plentiful. Four picture modes are Standard, Dynamic, Natural, and Movie, the latter is the best choice for movies and TV broadcast. Image settings are brightness, contrast, backlighting, Sharpness, and Tint, plus you get a wide range of advanced features. Five Digital Noise Filter modes are available, but I was not able to make a difference between the three highest settings (Medium, High, Auto) message. In fact, I found that TV broadcasts and Blu-ray images looked best with this feature disabled. Also, the Auto Motion Plus (120Hz) is best left disabled unless you prefer that your movies look like they were filmed with an HD camcorder. Other advanced settings include HDMI black level, shadow detail (to increase brightness of dark objects), Gamma, White Balance and Edge Enhancement.

    The Sound menu offers five audio presets (Standard, Music, Film, Clear Voice and repeating) that several high and low ranges for specific applications to use. Here you can also enable SRS TruSurround HD, which they simulated a credible multi-channel audio experience provides, and SRS TruDialog, which allows you to vocal production to encourage more to be heard over background noise and music. There is also an equalizer so you can sound your own profile. I was impressed by the LN55C650′s audio output, two 15-watt, down-firing speakers are very loud. While the speakers put out the kind of booming bass you get from sets like the Mitsubishi LT-Unis, 46249 (2599 dollars) (that is the advantage of 16 integrated speakers and a wireless subwoofer), they offer enough low-end to produce a solid, flat wall of sound.

    Web Apps

    The LN55C650 is loaded with interactive Web Apps goodies courtesy of Samsung, which Blockbuster, Netflix, Vudu, DailyMotion, CinemaNow offers, and Hulu Plus film and video channels. The British version of The Office on Hulu Plus and man on a wire at Netflix and both looked good and flowed smoothly, but as is usually the case with streaming video, image quality was not as clean and detailed as you get from television broadcasts or a Blu-ray player. Lifestyle Web apps include Twitter, Facebook, Pandora Radio, Picasa Web Albums, and Getty Images. Information channels, such Rovi TV program, a news ticker AP, USA Today, Accuweather, Google Maps, and Samsung Support TV round out the selection.

    Performance

    When it comes to image quality and overall performance, LN55C650 shines. After performing our fundamental darkroom calibration using patterns from the DisplayMate HDTV setup script, the panel returned an excellent 11,915:1 contrast ratio, one of the highest we’ve seen on a HDTV. The reading of 0.03 cd/m2 black level is more in line with what I would expect from the plasma, which usually exhibits superior black-level performance. In fact, the black level measurement LN55C650 is similar to that of the Panasonic TC-P50G25 plasma. High contrast ratio and deep blacks are only part of the picture, however, colors were bright and spot-on accurate, and grayscale performance was top-notch.

    The LN55C650 treated each HQV high-definition and standard definition video quality tests without noise reduction and anti-fading options enabled. During testing, I enjoyed the very graphic Repo Men on Blu-ray; picture was incredibly sharp detail and deep blacks gave the colors perfect degree of pop. Results were similar using our satellite TV signal, both HD and SD programming looked excellent, with accurate flesh tones and no noticeable artifacts. The picture remained clear when viewed from the side, and while a very slight loss of color saturation when I moved out to an extreme angle, the effect was minimal.

    CCFL LCD HDTVs are not known for their energy-saving features, especially compared to the latest crop of energy-efficient LED-backlit models, but LN55C650 is still relatively cheap to operate. It attracted an average of 178 watts, while viewing high-definition content from a Blu-ray player. This equates to approximately $ 3.13 per month (based on 2009 national average cost of 11.55 cents per kWh to five hours use). Not bad, but not nearly as profitable as the same size of LED-based Toshiba 55UX600U, which draws only 90 watts. Compare, 50-inch Panasonic TC-P50G25, plasma uses 250 watts.

    If you’re in the market for a large HDTV, when it comes to performance and features, the Samsung LN55C650 is hard to beat. It is not slim and sexy as LED-backlit Today’s models, and it is still not ready for 3D, but it delivers a stellar picture with high contrast and deep blacks, a robust audio system, and a rich feature set, all that deserves our Editors’ Choice for the big-screen LCD HDTVs.

The slim, piano black bezel embodies minimalist design, but is a clear, extended edge that only a little something extra, adds to the aesthetics of the device set. The blue LED light on the bezel of the lower-right convex downward for more sophisticated design. The slightly matte black of the screen contrasts beautifully with the surrounding cast. The one big drawback is the rather thick display, with more than 4 inches thick, this TV is very heavy and hard on the wall.

    One of the most persistent criticisms against large LCD TVs leveled motion blur during fast action. The manufacturers have combated this property by increasing the screen refresh rate of the usual 60 Hz, ie the image is refreshed 60 times per second to the now prevailing 120Hz and 240Hz. LG promotional material says that the screen is refreshed at 240Hz per second, but the claim is a bit misleading. The refresh rate is 120Hz but the device actually uses a proprietary technology to the backlight backlight on and off at an extremely rapid pace of reducing processing or under estimated. Black frames are in their place, the effect of doubling the image response time is inserted. LG is not alone in using this approach faster screen resolution but we have blurred it less effective in reducing the movement than the actual 240Hz refresh rate.

    The color reproduction is average or maybe slightly below compares the competition. The 80,000:1 contrast ratio is very low compared to almost the bottom line at the LG 55LD650 of 200,000:1. The black level is not as black as we like to see, and is particularly visible in low light scenes in which the degree black are critical. It’s just not quite as sharp could be.

    On the other hand, audio performance is a strong point. Dubbed the Invisible Speaker system, it is actually hidden from view. It seems a broad spectrum of sounds that make up the perimeter of the screen for a wider sweet spot beams produce audio. It is a nice feature if the TV itself is played, but is rather irrelevant whether with a great home theater sound system. The TV also includes Clear Voice technology II, the dialogue in the background compared to amplified sounds so it is easier to get everything that is said catch’s.

    In particular, lack the features set is no interactivity. There is no way to integrated web-based features such as video-on-demand access services or BD-Live features that are available on many Blu-ray discs. For some consumers, this is not at all be important, while others may find it a deal breaker.

    Verdict

    Overall, we are confident that our placement of 55LH55 LG LCD TV. It proper color reproduction and a degree of adaptation, has now seen that only users in newer models. The alleged 240Hz refresh rate is a great exaggeration, if a TV that has a true 240Hz compared. The price is quite modest compared to its competitors and overall this LCD TV delivers above average in most areas.

    Traditional LCD screens use fluorescent lighting on the back of the plate to the liquid crystal display backlight. The manufacturers have introduced LED-backlight, because they have less power and can they make it much thinner flat screen frames. So basically LED technology is just another type of lighting an LCD TV and a good excuse for manufacturers to charge you more money. An edge-lit LED means simply that the lighting at the edge of the plate instead of on the back, which is located allows for more streamlined designs. It also includes the LG 55LX9500 3D TV local dimming, the LEDs can be dimmed in independent areas, creating deeper blacks and higher contrast screen.

    This TV is part of the Infinia line of LG TV and the means of television, as well as other boards in the family, have a thin body and sweet face. But in contrast to the more expensive LE9500 family, it does not have the thin frame. Overall, television is not the thinnest we have ever seen in our labs, but it is still going smooth and good will with the interior. The inflorescence stalk is squared instead of the usual cylindrical design, and this quickly over the attention.

    For this year, get ready for by TV concepts that confuse you hear about most TV: 3D and LED backlight. This TV does not have 3-D feature, LG is dedicated to step up to 9500 models, but this board has LED backlighting. More important than that is the fact that these are LED-backlit option also for local dimming. This means tons of independent cells to brighten or dim, to give superior image quality. We are here because of this there are many out there LED TVs that do not have local dimming, and thus the LED technology is not exploited to its fullest worth. Or some times they imitate the dimming of a full array of edge lit configuration zones. This does not have much impact on image quality.

    LG Infinia 55LE8500 comes with a revised remote control and the buttons are easy to tell apart from feeling. They have rubberized grip that feels comfortable to press. There is a bulge in the middle, the remote control and ergonomically comfortable on the index finger of the bottom makes it a convenient notch that corresponds well to the bulge. This remote can not control other devices via infrared. The menus are pretty easy and getting around is easy. We liked the quick menu shortcut key. There are many advanced features, and we would have desired text explanations for it.

    In testing, we thought that the LG Infinia 55LE8500 one of the best features in TVs this year, even if it does not have fancy 3D or remote control. The big highlight of this panel is the local dimming LED elements. We also saw this on other high-end TVs like Samsung and LG 8500 LH90. LG reps said that dimmed this field with 240, is independent zones. The 47 inch panel in the same series has 216th Samsung, on the other hand, does not disclose the number of zones.

    Other features that need to be mentioned here, are the LG Wireless media box, which you can connect to connect HDMI and other such devices wirelessly. LG has many Internet options and built in Wi-Fi would have been better, but you have to make peace with a dongle or a third party wireless bridge. Dongle worked fine for this TV but we do not have the media box test for this review.

We did not not write USB streaming for this record. When we first this TV from LG for the review, the Ethernet was not working on it. We asked LG about this and sent them to find another unit in our labs, in which the Ethernet was working. The company told us that there were problems with the firmware. Next, we tested Vudu and Netflix streaming on LG Infinia 55LE8500 and the video quality has exceeded our expectations both by the Wi-Fi and Ethernet.

    There are tons of Internet streaming capabilities, but that’s not all on the LG Infinia 55LE8500. Apart from Picasa, all of Yahoo Widgets. If we were to write this review, we have access to only ten widgets. We liked the platform here, the better answers faster and faster loading widgets. But there is still room for improvement in terms of speed, the main widget tray takes about 20 seconds to load and this can be quite frustrating if you lack patience.
