Best LED TV on the Market

Best LED TV on the Market

Each time we think technology has reached its pinnacle, it comes back and surprises us with still more amazing feats. The television, which started off as a thing of wonder, has now become an expected part of every household and in fact most environments you might think of. It's no longer enough to merely own a TV, but to own the best TV possible. For many, owning a good TV is something of an obsession given how much time we spend being entertained in front of the telly.

Nowadays the TV technology that's at the forefront is LED TV. After flat screen, plasma and LCD TVs became inexpensive and ubiquitous, LED are the new kid on the block. As LED televisions rise in popularity, they're all set to very soon become the standard for TVs. Already more and more people are choosing LED TVs over LCDs, so if you don't want to be left behind, do your research to ensure that you gets the best LED TV that suits your needs.

LED Televisions boast a technology that uses Light Emitting Diodes, which allows for the picture quality to be far superior to that of older plasma, LCD and DLP TVs, and the price gap between LED TVs and the rest is closing fast. Once you understand the basics of LED TVs and their advantages and pitfalls, you can make a more informed choice for your own best LED TV on the market.

Brand on Top

With high contrast ratios in the realm of 500,000:1 and refresh rates at 240 Htz, Samsung's LED TVs are pretty hard to beat. There are other brands on the market, though, and some smart comparison shopping will land you the best value for money given the quality and features you seek in your TV. As the market gets more competitive, many of the other brands are shaping up to deliver great performance at very attractive prices indeed. Although some plasma TVs are able to deliver somewhat similar images, when you really get down to it there is no comparison, especially if you're looking to purchase a TV that will last you well into the future as technology continues to evolve.

Other Best LED TVs on the Market

Here are some of the brands and series on the market today that offer a superb TV experience:

Panasonic TC-PVT20/25 series

Conclusion

 There's plenty of hype surrounding 3D TV, much of it promulgated by the people at Panasonic, but the main reasons we like the TC-PVT20/25 series so much are contained by the traditional two dimensions. Yes, it beats the one other first-generation 3D-compatible TV we've tested, and yes, it actually includes 3D glasses, but with the scarcity of 3D content available today, the need to buy additional, expensive glasses for every family member, and the basic fact that 3D TV isn't for everyone, we think this TV's 2D prowess is the main reason to buy it.

A Review of the Philips Ambilight 47PFL9664/12 47 Inch 1080P Full HD LCD TV

The Philips Ambilight 47PFL9664/12 47 Inch 1080P Full HD LCD TV

The Philips 47PFL9664H is top of the line LCD TV with many features and enhancements. Some may be surprised by the price tag, but true television aficionados may select 47PFL9664/12 for a superior viewing experience

Ambilight Spectra 2, Perfect Natural Motion, and Pixel HD are some of the features that make the Philips Ambilight's picture so pleasing to the eye With an impressive 1920 x 1080p Full HD resolution, the 47PFL9664/12 model is an ideal companion for high-end gaming and video content. The Ambilight even includes a sharpness enhancer for Standard Definition content, though viewing anything below full HD on this television seems criminal!

The superb progressive scan and lightning fast refresh rate are the result of the 200 Hz display. Brilliant color, bold blacks and excellent brightness and contrast are also features of the 47PFL9664H. The Ambilight renders a remarkably smooth and crisp image as well. A low-quality image looks even worse on a large screen than it does on a small one, which is why the Amibilight's picture quality is so important. Do your eyes a favor and treat them to a dazzling visual experience every time you turn on your LCD TV.

The 47" display is chicly surrounded by a thin, handsome black encasement. One possible drawback to this thin design is the lack of side or front inputs; all connections are located on the rear of the television, including five HDMI ports and a USB port. However, the side panel does have a set of fancy touch controls. The 47PFL9664/12 also lets you connect to the Internet or your LAN via ethernet and wi-fi connections. Using the NetTV function, you can easily watch YouTube or browse the Internet freely. More and more media content is being streamed over the internet, so this type of connectivity is likely to be even more important in the future.

Even though the 47PFL9664H is an excellent TV, some have staged various criticisms of the model. The question is, is the Ambilight worth the additional moneyall When comparing the 47PFL9664 to the Phillips 47PFL7404, there are differences in color and picture quality. In addition, the refresh rate is only 100 Hz, half of that of the 47PFL9664H, which yields a noticeable difference in the motion between the two models. This motion processing can be manually adjusted on the 47PFL9664H, which means that the owner can select just the way they want it to look and feel.

In the end, its the extensive set of features and enhancements, both large and small, that make the Philips 47PFL9664H a superior LCD TV. Added features and fine-tunings like extremely smooth motion, wireless capabilities and top-notch color are important in an LCD TV, and are what make the 47PFL9664 great. While an uninformed consumer may not understand the benefits of these enhancements, most will comprehend why it is worth the price difference for the Amibilight.

The popular LV3300 model from last year is replaced with the LS3450, which has the same entry level specs as the CS460, however with LED backlighting. The 42" size is Full HD, while the 32" size is regular HD.

The final model in LG's entry level range is the LS3500, which is a regular HD LED and available in 22", 26" and 32" sizes. The middle of the range models start to introduce us to some very cool features like Dual Play (See below), as well as some incorporating 3D, Wi-Fi built in and Local Dimming.

The LS4600 is an entry level Full HD LED, with 50Hz processing and no 3D or Smart TV. These are available in 32", 42" and 47" sizes.

The aesthetics of this range really hots up, with what LG are calling "Cinema Screen Design". This is edge to edge slim bezel design and the floating stand. The LM6700 is available in 42", 47" and 55" sizes.

From here we jump into the high end of the models, starting with the LM7600 which should represent the bulk of LGs big panel sales this year. These have all of the features of the LM6700 but with a faster 200Hz processor. Available sizes are 42", 47" and 55".

Which brings us to the flagship, top of the line, LM9600. This Set has NANO Full LED technology (See below), a 400Hz processor, and the slimmest bezel in the range (besides the later to be released OLED models).

Glossary - New Features Explained

Wi-Di- In times gone by, to duplicate your PC screen onto your TV the only way to do this was via a RGB or HDMI cable. Wi-Di, or "Wireless Display" allows PC's or tablets with compatible Wi-Di technology to stream an exact duplicate of the screen to your TV without any wired connection.

Magic Remote Voice- Last year's LG's Magic Motion Remote allowed you to navigate its Smart TVs like a Wii - this year's remote improves with a scrollable click wheel and some new voice recognition functionality. The microphone in the remote sends your voice to your Smart TV, which converts it to text - making things easier than typing character-by-character while you wave your arm around in the air.

MHL - stands for Mobile HD Link, allows the connection of mobile devices such as phones and tablets via a Micro HDMI cable.

2nd display - is basically the opposite of Wi-Di - ie. Streaming TV back to your Smartphone or Tablet via Wi-Fi.

Smart Share Plus- Smart share plus is available on LM9600 and LM8600, and incorporates the two features of MHL and 2nd Display, as well as the Network file browser and Wi-Di available on the regular Smart Share enabled TVs.

Dual Play- LG TVs with Dual play transmit two separate 2D images that can be seen through two different set sets of polarized glasses. So when two players wear the glasses while playing games, they will each see a different image covering the entire screen.

Nano Full LED- A full array of LED backlights, with a thin film of minuscular dots in front, which disperse light evenly and effectively creating a more defined and dynamic contrast.

You Must Know About 1080P TVs

1080P TVs

It gets harder and harder each year to keep up with all the emergent technology in the world of electronics. One of the most widespread areas of shopping where people want to be up to date is the world of High-Definition (HD) televisions. 1080P HD has become extremely popular in the last few years, and there is a lot to consider when buying a new set.

One decision that must be made is the resolution of the new TV you're looking to buy. Generally speaking, the options are 720p and 1080p. These numbers refer to the number of lines of vertical resolution, with the "p" standing for progressive scan. Only a 1080p HDTV can be referred to as "full" high definition. 1080p televisions are the highest standard readily available for the average consumer currently.

The price difference between 720p and 1080p sets is shrinking all the time; currently, there is not a huge difference to move up to the higher resolution. In buying a HDTV that you hope to keep for a long time, it makes sense to go with a 1080p LCD or plasma television, in order to maximize the capability of your television in years to come.

Currently, there is no over-the-air broadcasting available in 1080p. However, it seems inevitable that it will be coming in the near future. Many satellite services do have channels broadcasting in 1080p now, with more to come.

Watching movies at home has become a preferred method for many people, rather than pay the increasingly exorbitant prices for tickets and food at movie theaters. With this in mind, Blu-Ray DVD players are the choice of technology-conscious consumers, and a 1080p HDTV is fully supported by a Blu-Ray player. Use of an HDMI cable to connect the player with the 1080p HDTV is a necessity.

In the future, the integration of televisions and computers will happen more frequently and seamlessly. There is currently more and more 1080p content available on the Internet, and as more and more people use their TV as an oversized computer monitor, this content will come through in crystal clear quality.

1080p LCD and plasma TV's come in a variety of sizes, to fit any room and budget. 1080p sets can be purchased as small as 22 inches. Make sure to consider how far the average viewing distance will be in thinking about what size set is ideal. In the current television buying market, you can get a larger plasma TV for a comparable price than you can a LCD. Researching the benefits and drawbacks to each type is essential before you purchase a set.

It is a great time to be buying a 1080p LCD or plasma television. Competition in the market is at a very high level, which means the prices for sets go down each and every month. Jumping on the 1080p HDTV bandwagon now will put you in good shape to be up to date on the latest viewing technology for years to come.

The 150,000:1 contrast ratio is amazing and the LN46B750 also offers full 1080p resolution which creates picture perfect images from bold colors to sharp details which will make your viewing experience an amazing one.

The Samsung LN46B550 is also a top notch model put out by Samsung, but with not quite as many extras as the more expensive LN46B750.  The Contrast ratio is not quite as high at 70,000:1, but is still among the highest when compared to other competitors in the High Definition LCD Television market.  This HDTV is accented by Samsung's Touch of Colorbezel design, which offers a hint of red translucent color around the edges of the unit for a nice look when decoration your living room, game room or even your bedroom. The Samsung Ln46b550 is also Energy Star compliant, which helps you be green while saving on your electric bill.  When comparing these two Samsung models this one has many extras and probably has the most bang for your buck. I would probably select this model if I had to choose because in the end the differences are minor.

3D TV - Do You Really Need It ?

3D TV - Do You Really Need It ?

One word For You ...Congratulations! You have just made the decision to buy a home theater system, or perhaps you have one already and are thinking of upgrading. One of your big decisions may be whether to buy a 3D television But do you really need one; and just what is there to watch in 3D anyway?

3D TV, or stereoscopic TV, is an effort at mimicking reality. It's an optical illusion, a trick to make our brains think something's got depth, when it hasn't - to make something look real, when it's not.That may sound a tad dishonest, but it's not different to adding extra detail with high definition cameras. 3D has broadly the same aim; though technically speaking it's completely different to HD.

3D technology is till relatively new, although several major television manufacturers are offering this option, including Mitsubishi, LG and Samsung. Other major electronics manufacturers, such as Sony, Panasonic and Philips have plans to offer 3D television this year or next. One advantage of waiting for 3D television is that, like most other types of new technology, the price will almost certainly go down over time.It is one of advantages for costumers

If you do invest in a 3D television, you still have to wear a special pair of glasses in order to get the effect, otherwise now any 3D TV without glasses. which some people, especially those who wear prescription glasses anyway, can find uncomfortable. The TV companies would like to be able to offer the feature without having to wear special glasses and it's simply a question of when this will happen.

If you aren't technologically minded, you may find it confusing that there are actually different types of 3D television available, although most experts consider so-called active shutter technology to be the best option. You still have to wear special glasses, although this option has the advantage that your existing system doesn't need to be significantly modified; it's also less expensive than other options.

However, you will need to replace the batteries in the glasses every so often with the active shutter system. This may be an issue if you watch a lot of TV or plan to invite a group of friends over to see your new toy. And of course, you don't want a dead battery in the middle of the big game.Although Now there are many manufacturers issued glasses without batteries and cheap but to more enjoy 3D TV technologically glasses with battery is more like by customers,

Before you rush out and buy a 3D television, you should be aware that there is not that much on at the moment to watch in three dimensions, although all that will probably change in the next year or two. Direct TV has just introduced three 3D channels and the sports channel ESPN is offering the 2010 World Cup and Now in Olympiade London 2012 we can enjoy this event with 4D Technology. And even if you are just watching in the standard two dimensions, some 3D televisions provide better picture quality anyway.

3D television is undoubtedly here to stay and three things are fairly certain: the quality of the product will improve, prices will go down and there will be more programming available. Whether you need to have 3D TV now is something only you can decide. Many people consider it gimmicky and the effect is wasted on talk shows and news programs. But there's no doubt that sporting events, travel shows and blockbuster movies can look better in three dimensions, rather than two. Let's to change from 2D to 3D technologically Television.

3D TV without glasses the next Technology

With the arrival of glasses-free - or auto-stereoscopic - gadgets like the Nintendo 3DS, 3D TVs are bound to follow suit.

Some pour scorn on the idea as a mass market, affordable product, but the broadcast TV industry wants it and such TVs do already exist in Japan.

But how do 3D TV without glasses work? Instead of glasses being used to differ the image seen by each eye, an auto-stereoscopic TV has a lenticular lens in its glass panel to do the job instead.

There are two catches. The first is that the lens cuts-down on resolution really quite massively, meaning that the actual 3D panel needs to have a '4k2k' resolution, which makes the loss of detail less crucial. A bigger issue (4k2k TVs are destined for mass production) is the number of 'views'. There are only so many 'corridors' or 3D 'sweet spots' on such screens, with a noticeable visual 'blip' between them; moving your head from side-to-side in front of an auto-stereoscopic 3D TV is headache inducing.

The challenge for TV engineers is to increase the number of views, and eliminate the gaps between each; the current form is nine views, with around 15 needed to make such TVs comfortable enough to watch.

Another factor is the viewing angle; the 3D effect is ruined outside of a 40-degree area in front of the screen, so there's no chance of a crowd gathering around to watch an auto-stereoscopic 3D TV.

If you do not have any dark areas in your house or apartment then you may again want to consider a LED TV because they do not result in an effect called sunlight glares.

So what is so great about the Samsung UN55ES8000 LED television all In terms of its primary features, you are getting a TV that is equipped with services such as facial recognition, voice navigation, and a fitness recorder. Does that mean big brother is watching me while I am watching the television? Not at all. The facial recognition feature is there to help you log on to services quickly and efficiently. It utilizes an in-built camera which automatically recognizes your face so you don't have to type your account information using the remote control.

The Fitness feature is pretty awesome. You can maintain a healthy lifestyle watching TV (who knew this was possible?) by using the video-on-demand exercise service from the Samsung UN55ES8000. You can even track your progress by downloading an exercise app on your television.

Another feature I want to share with you is the Family Story program. Using this program, you can share your precious family moments with this smart TV. The program allows you to upload photos, chat, and even post messages. It's pretty much a television version of Facebook.

As cool as these features are, you should also take note of the technical specifications of the Samsung UN55ES8000. The television utilizes a 1080p video resolution so you can be assured that you will be watching top quality television. The Samsung UN55ES8000 also comes with 2D & 3D HD capabilities so you can watch movies like Avatar without having to visit the nearby movie theater. In conclusion, we believe this is a great television and you should definitely have it in your shortlist when you visit an electronic store.
