The Sharp’s $16,000 57" AQUOS LC-57D90U LCD HDTV
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 52" LN-S5296D LCD Ready To Hit The Stores
Another 1080p LCD from the house of Samsung is going to make its debut in the month of September. More and more LCDs, HDTVs and Plasmas are hitting the stores like cell phones and laptops. The new 52-inch LN-S5296D LCD comes with 6000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, over two million pixel resolution, Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp, S-PVA Panel, and 10-bit processor with 12.8 billion colors. Two HDMI units, two components, two RF and a USB port enhance the connectivity. You would experience the high quality sound owing to the SRS TruSurround XT™ sound. You could afford the feature packed Samsung LN-S5296D LCD for less than $5000. Everything seems perfect to me if we compare specifications and pricing.
