52 Inch LCD TVs

By the fall of 2008, you can expect to buy 52-inch LCD TV sets at the current price of 40-inch LCD TVs, based on industry trends and price projections.

According to the market researcher DisplaySearch, the price of 52-inch LCD TVs will fall to $2,300 by the third quarter of 2008.

Home appliance makers have targetted 52-inch LCD TV as the major item for the flat-panel TV market for the next year and they are competing to get their share of the market.

Samsung this year sold around 790,000 52-inch LCD TVs, but expects the sales to grow to 1.95 million units next year aided by new products based on 120Hz technology and equipped with LED backlights.

LG Electronics has added wireless transmission and PC connectivity features to its lineup of 52-inch LCD TVs

Samsung’s LE52F96BD’s 52-inch LCD TVs is a leading example of the category. It uses Samsung’s Digital Natural Image engine to improve colour saturations/tones and fine detailing, as well as providing further boosts to black levels and motion control.

The most interesting capability of the TV though is LED backlighting using an array of LED backlights, which are all individually controllable.

The advantages of this approach are much deeper black levels and a jaw-dropping contrast ratio of 500,000:1.

With HD DVDs dark scenes like the opening shots of Ocean’s Thirteen on Blu-ray look spectacular and dynamic because the range between the screen’s peak whites and deepest blacks is huge and because the darkness contains more subtle detailing helping the picture look more full of depth.

Samsung Takes The Lead In LCD TV Size Race

Filed Under High End LCD TV, Samsung LCD TV | Leave a Comment

Samsung has just played its “mine is bigger than yours” card against Sharp when it unveiled what it claims is the first 70in LCD TV for consumers. In doing so it supersized past Sharp who offer an Aquos LCD TV with a screen size of 65in.

Samsung also claim (they would) that the HD TV offers better video reproduction, viewing angle and image quality. One reason is the video signal is reproduced at 120Hz, compared to 60Hz for a conventional full HD LCD panel. This helps rapidly moving video images to be reproduced with high clarity, which has been one of the drawbacks with LCD TVs.

The supersized flat panel has full high-definition resolution of 1080p and Samsung claim a conical viewing angle of 180 degrees.

The queue for delivery will be a long one - expect circa mid 2007 availability - as Samsung will begin producing the 70in LCD TV during the first half of 2007.

No doubt before then, one of the other LCD TV manufacturers will announce a bigger panel.
