Mega Group Test The Top 46 Inch TV's

In depth reviews of all the top 46 inch televisions, please click the link to avreview.co.uk to get all the info, well worth the read.

Group test: 46in TVs By John Archer We realise that there are an awful lot of people out there who just don't think they can cope with a TV bigger than 37-40in. Surely anything larger would dominate the room too much, the thinking goes. Or else it would break the bank - the last thing you want to be doing in these credit-crunched times. Both these arguments obviously have a degree of merit. But we nonetheless urge any of you who are seriously into TV - especially if you enjoy watching movies - to at least spare a thought for the 'step up' size of 46-47in. For a combination of ever prettier, ever more svelte designs together with plummeting prices means that the 46in/47in screen size is, in our telly-addicted opinion, fast starting to look like the most attractive part of the market. To illustrate our point, we've rounded up four of the most high-profile 46/47in sets and put them through their paces - with one or two surprising results…

How LCD Monitors Work

Found this informative article all about how LCD screens work, please click through and read the full version, it's well worth a read!

LCD TV Monitors LCD monitors have an edge over other monitors as they have better resolution and sleek design. Due to the liquid crystal display technology, an LCD monitor can produce 16.7 million colors, which means, the tiniest of hues can be detected. LCD monitors are sleekly built, so they occupy less space on the table. They are also lightweight and very easy to transport. LCD TV monitors work on the principle of blocking unwanted colors from the white spectrum. Their screens have a large number of pixels, each of which twist and turn at appropriate angles to produce an image. The pixels are illuminated by a thin lamp or a projector LCD. Due to this, the LCD TV monitors can be designed very compactly. They also offer great viewing angles. Some LCD TV monitors can also produce good quality images when viewed at an angle as obtuse as 170 degrees.

Article on LCD Screens

An interesting article on what you can expect when making the change from the old CRT to new LCD television, well worth following the link to read the whole article.

Lcd Tv - Cinema At Home For A Budget Price LCD`s are used as computer monitors extensively. They are not only flat and light weight but also consume up to thirty percent less energy. Another interesting factor that caught my attention was 60,000 hours stuck on the LCD`s. This is the number of hours that the LCD can be viewed with optimum picture quality. A slight negative is that LCD TV is not very clearly visible from acute angles. Though minute details are better seen on LCD because of more pixels on the screen, they were available only in smaller sizes earlier giving plasma TV an edge over them. They are now available in all sizes, even in sizes bigger than forty inches and are as good or better than plasma TV performance wise. I have been saving for almost a year now to buy a LCD TV along with a home theatre system. My idea of relaxing and de-stressing is watching a good movie. Nothing can be better than watching a movie of your choice comfortably at home on your favorite couch.

Customer Review

High Praise for this TV,

I have traditionally been a fan of the Sharp, or Sony TV's, however, I was looking for a TV to fit in a cabinet in my bedroom. I wanted to get the largest one that would fit my space restrictions. The Samsungs, in general, seem to sit lower on their stands than most other brands and really provided the only 32 inch option that would fit my height restrictions. I sure am glad this was the case.

This TV is wonderful. The best part is the picture. It just looks great. The swivel stand is a very nice touch too. I hadn't been looking for it, but it is quite useful as the TV is not directly in front of the bed. The settings and adjustments available are plentiful and adequate. The menus to access them are clean and intuitive.

Another wonderful feature is the energy saving modes. One can set varying levels of energy saving which controls the intensity / brightness of the light for lower power consumption. There is even an auto mode that will adjust the intensity based on what is currently on the screen. This is perfect for the bedroom. When it is late and I am starting to fall asleep I don't like the TV as bright. Energy saving mode is perfect for this and it saves power.

Another feature that I have been wanting in a TV and didn't have until now is a volume moderator. The TV will increase or lower volume automatically to make up for varying source volumes.

The TV seems performant. I haven't had a chance to plug my gaming laptop into one of the 4 HDMI inputs, but with heavy action scenes on TV I haven't seen any ghosting of images. Blacks look black and colors are sharp. No noticable artifacts of any kind.

All in all I am very happy with the purchase.

For now in this globalization, everyone continues using USB Flash-drive. It is easy and fit to take to go somewhere, may be in the form of the key ring or the locket. Because of the ease of using Flash Drive, to save it easily done. And retrieving information is very simple.


Currently giant television manufacturers such as Sony, Samsung, Philips, LG and Panasonic have installed USB Port on their television. So now make browsing files from Flash Drive does not need to do via computer. But everyone still doubt with "It's coming with Virus"

But don't afraid to use it because all LCD and Plasma TV USB port have no operating system, it isn't possible to inflect virus on your television.

To clarify : In computer or laptop when it caused an infection it will be inflected from the operating system as we know in the name of Microsoft Windows. Another obvious example is the mobile phone, if you have a Nokia 3310 or other models nearby. You will never have a virus inflection problem because those model have no operating system as we know in the name of Symbian. However if you use N or E series, sometime you will meet this problem since they have an operating system.

Conclusion : Plasma and LCD TV which have USB port or SD Card is an extremely features. To make your purchase, don't worry for virus inflection problem.

B650 vs A750

Find the different?

Hope it helps !!

• Stand : Samsung B650 stand swivels, the A750 doesn't.

• USB Flash Drive : B650 includes a USB flash drive with the user guide on it. And B650 has 2 USB ports. So you can use a wireless network adapter in one and a USB flash drive in the other.

• PIP : Samsung B650 picture in picture will work with the analog or digital tuner. But A750 PIP only worked with the analog tuner.

• Input : B650 doesn't have an S-video input, like the A750. (S-Video inputs are history on the Samsungs). Another, the side and rear inputs move from the left on the A750 to the right on the B650. (looking from the front)

• Network : The B650 has the USB 2.0 Movie/photo/music, InfoLink, Anynet and network connection.

• DLNA-Compatible : the 40 inch and larger include the Content Library and DLNA network (to access your PC content)

• Mode : The B650 has the new "Custom" mode AMP fine tuning adjustments. There is a new (now 4) picture mode on the B650. (A "Natural" mode between Standard and Movie)
  

• Other : The picture IMO is improved slightly on the B650 vs. the A750. The contrast is noticeably improved. Diagonal line jaggies are improved. SD broadcast artifacts seem lessened. (Especially the crap around text.). The menu colors look better.

Samsung LN32B650 vs. Sony KDL-32XBR9

Samsung LN32B650

Vs.

Sony KDL-32XBR9

LN32B650 Better than 32" XBR9, April 12, 2009
By Isi Jr.

I got this TV a few days ago and i can honestly say that the picture looks like a million bucks. My brother has the Sony 32" XBR9 TV and this Samsung TV completely blows it away. For a better picture the TV has to be calibrated (by a pro or yourself using online manuals) and your blu-ray system as well.

I have this TV hooked up to my PS3 and my 360 and the picture looks amazing. The ability to have this TV connect to the net is a huge plus. You can check the Weather, News, and Stock Market info all with the push of a button.

Movies look great running at 1080p/24! If you want a TV with a superior picture then this is the TV for you!

LCD and plasma TV sales brighten retail picture

Shelling out hundreds of dollars on a television is hardly wallet-friendly, but LCD and plasma sets have been flying off the shelves all year, with some retailers saying TV sales are better now than they were during the holiday season.

    But there's also a recession twist: Some industry watchers say that people are upgrading their TVs because they're spending more time at home during the economic downturn.

    "Consumers are increasingly using the home as a place to look for entertainment," said Riddhi Patel, an analyst at research firm ISuppli Corp. "And TV becomes the main medium. . . . People are saying instead of taking trips during the summer, they may as well stay at home and buy a TV."

    Tight competition among retailers, both brick-and-mortar and online, has driven prices for some TV sets down sharply. Patel said flat-panel television prices in the first quarter were 23% lower on average compared with the same period last year.

Recommended Viewing Distances

Wide-screen televisions showing high-resolution content and HDTV look better than regular sets, allowing you to sit closer and experience a more immersive, theaterlike picture.

With wide-screen television sets showing DVD, Blu-ray or HDTV, you can sit as close as 1.5 times the screen's diagonal measurement and still not notice much of a loss in quality, while sitting farther away than three times the screen size means you're likely to miss out on the immersive feel. Here's a rundown of minimum and maximum recommended viewing distances for wide-screen television sets.

6:9 TV diagonal screen size	Min. viewing distance (in feet)	Max. viewing distance (in feet)
30	3.8	7.6
34	4.3	8.5

Size and your room

Generally, 32-inch and smaller sets are great for bedrooms or guest rooms but too small for the main living room. Television sets with bigger screens are large enough for the whole family to enjoy and will probably be too much for most small bedrooms.

If you're mounting the set inside an entertainment center, be sure it fits in every dimension; also, leave an inch or two on all sides so that the TV has enough ventilation. If you're getting a bigger set, you may want to consider a dedicated stand; many TV makers sell matching stands that increase the aesthetic appeal of their hefty boxes.
