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.

Sony Grand Wega KF-50WE610 50 inch LCD TV

fixyourdlpPosted on October 29, 2007 Posted in TV Reviews — 1 Comment ↓

The Sony KF-50WE610 is a rear projection television set that uses the LCD technology and has a screen size of 50 inches when measured diagonally. Earlier CRT televisions used to be the best and had the top priority when it came to buying good quality televisions. With the advent of technology many new technologies have emerged which are fighting to be the top technology. One of the frontrunners in this race is the LCD’s. The use of the LCD technology not only has reduced the sizes of the television sets but has also succeeded in delivering larger screen sizes, which were not possible while using the CRT technology.

The Sony KF-50WE610 is HD-ready and has a native display resolution of 1366 by 768, which is slightly more than 720p. It is also equipped with a tuner for standard definition NTSC reception. 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.

Panasonic TH-42PX25 42 inch Plasma HDTV

fixyourdlpPosted on October 28, 2007 Posted in TV Reviews — No Comments ↓

The Panasonic TH-42PX25 is a high definition television that uses the plasma technology and has a screen size of 42 inches when measured diagonally. With the advancement in the plasma technology, it has been proven that the plasmas are no longer the underdogs when it comes to producing deep black levels. Earlier when the black levels were compared, the sets using the plasma technology were referred to as the also-ran. This is not the case any more with the plasmas producing very deep black level which has helped it climb onto the top steps of the podium quite a few times. The cabinet has been very well designed and the use of the curves at various places has given it a very stylish and elegant look. It is primarily silver in color with a black bezel used to surround the screen.

The remote is just as good as the cabinet and has plenty of buttons when compared to other plasma televisions. A glow in the dark button controls the backlighting of the buttons of the remote. Most of the inputs are located at the back of the cabinet while the HDMI input has been placed at the top. This can cause a little bit of a problem if you are planning to hang the set or even mount it at a height. The burn in issues that are normally associated with the plasmas was not even visible with this set. Overall, the performance of this set is fantastic and there are not many problems to worry about either.

Panasonic TH-42PX600U 42 inch Plasma HDTV

fixyourdlpPosted on October 28, 2007 Posted in TV Reviews — No Comments ↓

The Panasonic TH-42PX600U is a high definition television that has a screen size of 42 inches when measured diagonally and uses the plasma technology. Panasonic has had a good track record when it comes to creating stylish cabinets and yet make each cabinet different from the other. This cabinet too does just that. It is predominantly silver in color with a thin black bezel used to house the screen. The shape and design of the cabinet should more or less satisfy most people. The Panasonic TH-42PX600U is another example of the drop in prices of most of the plasma television sets inspite of the progress made by the technology.

Panasonic is regarded as the best when it comes to plasma televisions. Panasonic plasma televisions are the best when it comes to black levels and contrast ratios. The set is packed with plenty of features, which makes it very user friendly. The native display resolution offered by the Panasonic TH-42PX600U is 1024 by 768. This means that the vertical resolution is slightly less than that available in 720p while the horizontal resolution is marginally more. The set is equipped with a couple of HDMI along with a component input. It is also provided with a SD card slot and HD tuners. Overall, the performance of the set is fantastic and is replete with features, which is not normally seen with plasma televisions.

Hitachi P42H401 Ultravision 42 inch Plasma HDTV

fixyourdlpPosted on October 26, 2007 Posted in Hitachi — No Comments ↓

The Hitachi P42H401 is a high definition plasma television that uses the plasma technology and has a screen size of 42 inches when measured diagonally. This moderate screen size is one of the most preferred sizes among the people. The LCD’s already have the upper hand over the plasmas considering that the latter had a hard time fitting 1920 by 1080 pixels into a 42-inch screen size. As the first 1080p plasma came, a few months back, the market was already flooded with LCD’s having 1080p capability. These LCD’s are even cheaper than the plasmas and there is no guessing where the people are turning their heads.

The native display resolution of the Hitachi P42H401 is 1024 by 1080. Even though the horizontal resolution is much less than 1920, the vertical resolution ensures that the set will be referred to as a 1080p display. The resolution however is not progressive. The Hitachi P42H401 is priced around $1700 and it would be safe to say that this is Hitachi’s way of competing with the LCD’s. Not that the image is perfect right out of the box but calibration failed to make much of a difference to the image quality.

The set struggles a bit with the standard definition content. The darker images look a bit reddish. The green color point lacks the accuracy although this is something that I have noticed with most plasmas.

LG RU-42PX11 42 inch Plasma EDTV

fixyourdlpPosted on October 26, 2007 Posted in Zenith and LG — No Comments ↓

The LG RU-42PX11 is an enhanced definition television that uses the plasma technology and has a screen size of 42 inches. As far as the performance is concerned, it does not perform badly although it is not the best in any of the categories either. However even this average, middle of the road performance has given the set a high rating. The cabinet is well designed and has been given an all silver look. The inbuilt speakers are attached inside the cabinet at the sides of the screen. A very thin black colored frame has been used to house the screen.

The LG RU-42PX11 was superb when it came to processing and did not show any jagged edges in most of the scenes. It also did not crush the whites which most of the plasmas do to various extents. However, the colors lack the vibrancy and it would be fair to call them muted or undersaturated. Even though the colors are not that bad, they appear to be muted because the contrast ratio of the set falls slightly short. The set was absolutely fantastic when it came to detail levels and should give the top of the line sets a run for their money. The performance of the set out of the box is average and does not show much improvement even after calibration.
