Sony Says Goodbye To Plasma Arena

Well, Sony has finally dropped the idea of manufacturing Plasmas as expected, the foremost reason being a swift decline in the shipments of plasmas that reduced drastically from 300,000 in 2004 to 100,000 in 2005 and the second reason being the skimpy profits. Sina.com reports that in an attempt to compensate this, Sony plans to increase the shipment ratio of its 40-inch and above LCD TVs to more than 50% by the end of 2006. Sony, in a joint venture with Samsung, is going to construct an eighth-generation (8G) TFT-LCD plant with a monthly capacity of 50,000 glass substrates. Makoto Kogure, Sony’s deputy president of TV & video business said : ‘The company expects to increase its global LCD-TV shipments by 33% to eight million units in fiscal 2007.’

XBox’s ‘Dead Rising’ In-Game Text Unreadable In SDTVs
by admin on Jun.22, 2012, under HDTV News
In reply to numerous queries by the gamers about the unreadable game text in Xbox’s Dead Rising, the Capcom has, for the time being, requested the SDTVs (standard-definition sets) users not to buy the game unless they sort out a solution for it. It seems like Capcom tested the trial version of the game with HDTV only and overlooked the game preview in standard-definition sets. Well, the owners of the SDTVs would have to wait until Capcom fixes the issue. Until then, you are not left with any option except to focus more on the screen.
The Sharp’s $16,000 57" AQUOS LC-57D90U LCD HDTV
by admin on Jun.22, 2012, under HDTV News
Sharp has done a spectacular job by introducing the new 57-inch AQUOS LC-57D90U LCD HDTV but I think it failed to justify the hefty price tag of $16,000 around its neck. For your kind info, the so-called 1080p LCD doesn’t even allows 1080p over HDMI and even if compared with other LCD HDTVs, the LC-57D90U takes long 10 seconds to lock up to a 3:2 sequence. Except for its comparatively larger screen, it doesn’t boast anything that counts for the $16,000 tag. On the other hand, I will give full points to its scaler, 4ms response time and impressive video deinterlacing. But, if you are going to buy the AQUOS LC-57D90U LCD HDTV, I won’t advice you to do so. The much better option is to buy two or three smaller sized LCDs for your different rooms.

Samsung’s new 50-inch SPD-50P7HDT Wireless plasma TV
by admin on Jun.21, 2012, under HDTV News
No doubt, TV is no more an immovable furniture sitting in a corner like a dumb box; rather it has broken the shell and is embellishing our abodes much more than a grand wall scenery, especially when it comes to HDTVs. Samsung’s SPD-50P7HDT is the latest 50-inch plasma display TV that stands apart with its deadly looks and impeccable features in the television world and costing just $5000; I would say just, after all it’s a plasma. It is claimed as the first large-sized plasma display TV with HD- compatible features. What makes one to take a serious glance over it are its dashing design and its cordless AV center quality feature. AV center is capable of transmitting input data without any wire with its IEEE 802.11 (this tech is to use in low-cost, always on, and truly mobile wireless local area networks (WLAN)) this has enabled to get rid of convoluted wire web. Moreover, this AV center has brought ease in connecting Set top box, DVD, VCR, etc. This technology is along with Samsung’s proprietary black panel and daylight that bettered screening pleasure.
