Plasma TVs and burn-in

In article , The dog from that film you saw wrote: you've fallen for the marketing hype then - the current so called LED televisions are actually still LCD televisions - it's the light source that's LED only. It's not marketing hype to say that LED screens are thinner, lighter and consume less electrical power. A quick examination of the facts will reveal all these things to be true. As for what to call them, the light source is the thing that is notably different about them, and "LED display" is less of a mouthfull than "LCD display with LED backlight. It's marketing hype to come out with a TV which is an LCD with an LED backlight and call it LED when it's widely known that the Next Big Thing is going to be a genuinely LED TV. It's about as much an LED TV as a hovercraft is an aircraft. Yes, technically it flies, but let me see you get it over that hill. Andy |

I've been holding out for OLED but then I read about LASER TVs with their much wider gamuts. He probably did mean OLEDs. Next big thing in about 4 years, that is, which is the estimated time (that I read somewhere) for OLEDs to become competitive with LCDs. Edge-LED backlit TVs look to be very good though, from what I've seen in the showrooms, with the panels being very thin and running cool. The commentary for Eurovision earlier this year said that a very high percentage of the entire world's stock of LED TV's were used ... ah, more details here http://www.martin.com/product/produc...oduct=lcseries Ah indeed. A 4 CENTImetre pixel pitch. Presumably built with discrete LEDs. |

"Brian Gaff" wrote in message om... If you talk to a bbc engineer, you will soon be told Plasma ar junk as burn in can be evident within months. I also hate plasma because they chuck out horendous amounts of radio frequency interference which is very hard to get rid of if you like using ordinary radios on telescopic aerials. They also of course eat the juice from your electricity supplier. Maybe he can get some fancy screensaver on his new plasma that moves his wildlife camers around th screen to stop buren in? I'm just glad I can no longe see these shadowy marks. It was bad enough in the old days of crts. Brian It's actually quite difficult to burn a colour CRT TV (when used as a TV). -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |

I presume these were real LEDs (Next Big Thing) rather than LCDs with LED backlights. They looked very impressive indeed, the white coming out of them was unbelievably bright! they were the real deal - but they also had jumbo sized pixels - you would want one of those in your living room. you can see such screens at some train stations and public spaces - the one in birmingham new street is wasted showing sky news. -- Gareth. that fly...... is your magic wand.... |

What would you call them instead? And how widely known is it, really, what the Next Big Thing is going to be? Flat panel TV sets were the Next Big Thing from the day I joined the broadcast industry in the 1960s, but didn't appear in the shops in meaningful numbers at sensible prices until I left it a few years ago. So I'm not holding my breath for the next Next Big Thing, whatever it may be. Rod. -- Virtual Access V6.3 free usenet/email software from http://sourceforge.net/projects/virtual-access/ |
