Source? I'd like to read the review of the 60 HZ LED from Samsung. Is
that
a LED LCD, or the DLP model?- Hide quoted text -

It's the LED LCD model, the new 40" LN-T4081F

You can read the entire review at the following:

http://hdguru.com/hd-guru-exclusive-...cd-102907/201/

Gary Merson, well known for his "Are you getting all the HDTV
resolution" series of tests on over 150 different models over the last
18 months is the brains behind the HD Guru tests. He also tested the
120Hz Sony KDL-46XBR4 and I'll quote directly from the article (which
I think is either in the OCtober or November archives 2007)

"The KDL-46XBR4's maximum 600-line motion resolution performance tied
that of a recently tested Sharp 120Hz LCD panel, making these two the
highest measuring motion resolution LCD panels to date. Yet both fall
short when compared to the best-measured plasma performance (880
lines) or LCOS microdisplay (780 lines)."

The 880 lines was the Panasonic TH-50PZ750U, but he recently tested
the Pioneer KURO PDP-6010FD which came in at 900 lines. You can see
the results of the new Pioneer as well as 60-something other 2007 sets
in the most recent series of tests at
http://www.hometheatermag.com/hookmeup/1107hook2/

In the review of the Sony the worst part was when he tested the
"Vivid" mode - which sadly the set comes out of the box in, yet only
an idiot would want to keep it in this mode. For static resolution it
couldn't even resolve 1080 lines, it tested at 880 and 450 for the
motion!! Yikes!

Yikes indeed, but sony is a four letter word.
Thanks for the url and info.

All Sony and Samsung panels for LCD's are made at the same factory
which is jointly owned by Sony and Samsung.

Do you have a source for that? Also see below.

Sorry, I missed that bit. If you read the whole aritcle it's mentioned
in there, but it's pretty common at this point. I believe Sony bought
into the Samsung factory, because Samsung's factory has been making
all the panels that go into the Sony's for sometime now, but recently
it's mentioned that they co-own the factory, so I can only assume Sony
bought into it as it was definitely Samsung's originally.
The technology of course other than the panel is from each
manufacturer individually, it is only the panel itself that is shared.

Google Samsung LCD panels Sony.

I knew Sony got into the flat panel game late, but didnt know that they
were in a partnership with Samsung. I thought they (Samsung) were smarter
than that.

Every rear screen projection TV, I could find on Amazon, has a bezel.
Home theatre projectors don't have a bezel, of course.

Will they have the rapid motion blur problem licked for LCD?
Will prices be much lower than today?


The future of HDTV lies with lasers. They should shipping in 8-10
months.

Take the plunge and you'll wonder 2 things: why did I wait so long and
why didn't I buy a bigger one.

Amen! Especially when the 70inch version of your set goes for less
than you paid for for the 56inch less than a year ago!! :-)

Better off waiting another 12-18 months at least.
