Sony has launched a new monthly e-newsletter called “3D Vision”, which will cover the latest news in the 3D market with interviews and articles.

Over the past year it has been clear that 3D is very much on it’s way back, with all the major manufacturers getting in on the game.

Sony say we are about to experience a critical progressing though the introduction of 3D technology within the home environment. They also make a very bold statement by saying the expect 3DTV shipments to reach 46 million by 2013, and talk about 3D blu-ray.

Research form GigaOM Pro estimate that by 2013 up to 46 million 3DTV capable flat-panel HDTVs will heat to consumers. They said, “While the initial shipments of flat-panel 3DTVs will be small in 2010 due to premium pricing strategies by the large TV manufacturers, volumes are likely to grow quickly in just a few short years as manufacturers begin to implement 3-D as a standard feature across their HD flat-panel product lines.” As 3D becomes a standard feature with just a slight cost premium in coming years, many consumers will opt for 3Dcapable TVs even if the majority of the content they watch will be 2D.

Sony also talk about 3D and Blu-ray, calling it a technology love affair. The BDA 3D Task Force have a number of objectives, which include Full 1080p resolution per eye, and backward compatibility with 2D players.

This is all very exciting news, it looks like 3D is coming, whether you want it or not!

But some very interesting information has now leaked about Sony’s upcoming / prototype HDTVs, including new models in Sony’s flagship XBR range, the Sony XBR11 and XBR12!

A total of nine new series have been leaked with numerous details. There is also mention of the Sony KDL-ZX Series OLED range, but it’s not known which sizes this will come in.

The flagship Sony KDL-XBR12 series features”High Range Advanced LED RGB” backlighting. It’s great to see they are sticking with the local dimming REG LEDs.

Shown above is possibly a photo of the Sony XBR11. You can see a floating glass design.

The Sony KDL-XBR11 series uses W-LED technology, which we assume to be White LEDs. The Sony XBR will available in fives sizes from 32-inches all the way to 60-inches.

Sky are inviting their existing Sky+ HD customers to host their own Sky+ HD party!

By sharing the Sky HD experience with their friends, the hosts will be given a complimentary Sky Box Office movie and a £10 M&S voucher.

It seems as if Sky have taken note of the Windows 7 Party campaign that Microsoft has shown, and wants to do the same with their HD product.

Hosts will be given a choice of three high definition movies from Sky Box Office HD worth £3.91. Selecting from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Angels & Demons or The Hangover, which are all showing exclusively from 11th – 13th December. All three movies are also released on DVD / Blu-ray the same week, giving party members a change to see the movie for free in HD.

If you’re a Sky+ HD customer like myself, you can set up your own party at http://sky.com/hdparty/, and invite three or more friends, who must accept their invitations by 5pm 17th November.

You will then receive your complimentary Sky Box Office movie and £10 M&S voucher.

If you have a nice HD setup, and want to show off the HD quality to your friends, this seems like the perfect excuse! Just make sure you have it connected up properly!

This is very fresh news, and Sky won’t be officially announcing it until this Sunday!

LED backlit LCD HDTVs have become more and more common over the last year, especially with Samsung’s vast LED HDTV range.

But until now this LED backlit technology have remained exclusively in large HDTVs and portable devices such as laptops and netbooks. They are favored over standard CCFL backlights as they use less power and provide better colors.

Vizio have now taken the LED technology to their new Razor LED range of smaller LED LCD HDTVs.

The 23-inch Vizio VM230XVT and 19-inch Vizio VM190XVT both feature LED backlights for improved contrast and colors, along with very thin profiles. Both have a 20,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and the larger 23-inch VM230XVT has a full HD / 1080p resolution.

Both models can also be used as a digital picture frame via the USB port. Both of the Vizio Razor LED HDTV range are very energy efficient, and beat the new Energy Star 3.0 ratings by over 50%.

The Vizio VM190XVT will cost $349 and the larger VM230XVT will be $399.

JVC have announced their latest blu-ray player, the JVC XV-BP11, which comes in at just under the magic $200 price tag.

There are a few players available for this price, but it’s always nice to see some extra competition in this price bracket, especially from a brand such as JVC.

The JVC XV-BP11 is an “ultra slim” blu-ray player, and from looking at the photo it almost look “ultra long”, but I’m sure this is just because of it’s super slim design. The XV-BP11 should be available right now for $199.95.

So what do you get for $199.95? As well as playing back blu-ray discs, it can also playback the popular camcorder format, AVCHD along with WMV, JPG, MP3, WMA files via disc or from the USB port.

It features HDMI 1.3 output along with composite, but you will of course want to use the HDMI port. It supports Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital plus, Dolby True HD, DTS, and DTS HD Master Audio/Essential audio formats.

Other features of the JVC XVBP11 include coaxial audio output, cinema zoom (x16), quick loading and parental lock.

Panasonic TC-P46S1 TV was fantastic. I chose the S1 this b / c my PS3, and Apple TV provides access to a lot of material online. Give you a more detailed examination, after spending some 'time with the product. Shipping was the most impressive, because this problem came about a week before it was expected, and men 15 minutes before delivery. Excellent. The only surprise is that I am, I did not even know that there is a 46 "TV is very broad. Probably would have been good, with 42? and 720p. I carefully research the purchase online to Consumer Reports, Panasonic, Amazon and elsewhere. Not all the bells and whistles of high-end model, but is more environmentally friendly, consuming less power and weighs less. (And the weight is an important factor unpacked and assembled, with a little help '.) Some of the more expensive models in a speaker and sound very clear but I think if I connect a home theater system in combination, but it is not required for these functions. But I guess some '… my home theater system was not working during the first few months I have had Panasonic TC-P46S1 TV and I think it looks good on your TV. The image, as expected, is excellent and works well to reduce glare. There are a lot of connection options. Now is the half-verse DVR / receiver, a home theater sound bar and a combo DVD / VCR connected and you can still grow when I am ready to add the Blu-ray and beyond. In the case of Amazon, the service quickly and without problems. Asked the sender to a special delivery for a couple of days in advance, and then pass on the way home. The packaging is sturdy and well constructed so as to facilitate the extraction and purification. Excellent seller excellent product.

Panasonic TC-P50G10 Review

The Panasonic TC-P50G10

Many new models of HDTVs today are similar to the lower numbered models with just a few added touches. Some may have a new look. Others may have a new feature, while those with ground breaking technology usually come with a hefty price tag. The Panasonic TC-P50G10, though, comes with so many new features that make it stand out on its own. In addition, these new features come with a price tag that many people would find agreeable.

Design

The designers at Panasonic were able to reduce the overall size of the Panasonic TC-P50G10, creating a much more compact HDTV. This HDTV comes very close, in terms of size, to Panasonic’s 46″ TH46PZ800, making it more appealing to people who do not have the space for one of the other 50″ HDTVs.

The remote control is about the same as previous remote controls with the exception of a few added buttons, such as buttons to quickly access the Viera Link, the Viera Cast (a new feature from Panasonic), and the Viera Tool which gives direct access to the HDTV’s SD card functions, energy saving settings and other features. The system menu is the same as with previous models, so previous Panasonic users are sure to feel at ease.

Screen/Picture Clarity

The TC-P50G10 comes with the latest Neo PDP panel, which makes it capable of full motion resolution. This means that movies with plenty of high speed chases or fast moving objects do not become blurry. This HDTV is also THX certified, conforming to the 2008 display standard set by THX for home video. With such a certification, the Panasonic TC-P50G10 provides very vivid colors and picture quality especially when watching HD content.

Traditionally, with plasma HDTVs, your main concern would be the ambient light in the room which can ruin your viewing experience. But due to the Neo PDP panel, such worries are nonexistent as this HDTV is still able to display crisp images even in the brightest of rooms. Reflections on the screen are also taken care of by the improved anti-reflective filter which takes care of them while keeping the colors from the screen unaffected. The TC-P50G10 also has the ability to enhance the quality of standard definition content. Though it is not able to convert standard definition content into HD content, this HDTV makes viewing standard definition content more enjoyable by eliminating jagged edges and other visual distractions.

Features

Compared to LCD HDTVs, plasma HDTVs consume more power, but with the Neo PDP panel and preset energy saving settings of the TC-P50G10, power consumption has been greatly reduced. A new feature that comes with this HDTV is Panasonic’s Viera Cast. The Viera Cast enables the HDTV to connect to the internet and access pictures from Google’s Picasa to show off your pictures from your latest vacation. The Viera Cast also allows the HDTV to show videos straight from YouTube, which is a very useful feature especially since YouTube has started to offer Hollywood movies and the newest TV shows legally. The only downside to this feature is that only content from Picasa and YouTube can be accessed from the internet. This HDTV also comes with Panasonic’s tradmark feature, Viera Link, that allows you to synchronize all your HD equipment with just a touch of a button.

The Panasonic TC-P50G10 comes with two HDMI inputs and two component video inputs, along with s-video and component inputs. It also has an ethernet connection for the Viera Cast feature. On the side of the HDTV are component inputs where a video camera can be attached, a PC input where a computer can be connected to, and an SD card slot for viewing pictures straight from your digital camera’s SD card.

Indeed the TC-P50G10 is packed with new features and improved picture quality, allowing this HDTV to hold its own against other high end HDTVs. With such amazing features included, one would expect a high price tag for such a high performing HDTV, but Panasonic recently lowered its price, making it truly worth considering. So don’t settle for last year’s models by saving a few dollars. Invest just a bit more and you can get real value for your money with the Panasonic TC-P50G10.

Samsung PN50A650 Review

Samsung PN50A650 - Lifelike colors

The PN50A650 used to lord it over Samsung’s plasma line, being the largest and latest model. However, only a few months after it came out in May 2008, Samsung released the 63-incher mammoth under the same Series 6 line, and later, the complete Series 7 line. The Samsung PN50A650 thus became just one of the products instead of being the top product. Still, it’s an impressive and feature-packed item that shows a lot of potential, perfect for those looking for high performance plasmas.

Design

Part of the Touch of Color (ToC) line, the PN50A650 sports the same reddish accent on its frame that distinguishes the ToC TVs from the rest of the products in the vaunted Samsung arsenal. Besides colored bezel, the PN50A650 has other design elements like the stylish clear coating over the frame, invisible speakers and rounded corners that work together to present a sleek and gorgeous piece of equipment.

Samsung’s remotes were refurbished for 2008, and the one included in this HDTV is undoubtedly one of the better ones. With backlight and some fresh ideas like the Tools option that efficiently gives quick access to sound and picture modes, picture-in-picture controls and sleep timer, this remote is definitely great - if not for its glossy black finish. Samsung should remember not to put a glossy finish on anything that is frequently hand held, as the glossy finish promptly becomes smudged only after a few minutes.

Screen/picture clarity

The PN50A650 HDTV exhibited good black levels, though not as good as the top-of-the-line plasmas.However, that weakness is more than compensated by its exceptional color accuracy - skin tones look natural and greenery are really green - making pictures quite stunning despite the slightly washed-up black levels.  Moreover, the Ultra Filter Bright anti-glare feature seems to work well, adding to the picture clarity. A little tweaking of the settings and one would surely find acceptable greyscale and color temperatures to make the images even more breathtaking.

This full 1080p HD resolution TV, powered by the DNIe Pro video processor, has no trouble resolving HD and standard sources, scaling 720p and 1080i resolutions seamlessly into its 1080p native resolution. This set also has no problem rendering standard definition (480p) sources, producing no jagged edges or artefacts that frequently come up when resolving 24fps sources.

Features

As expected, Samsung has designed this HDTV overflowing with features. A step up from its less distinguished cousins in the 550 series, Samsung added another HDMI port, bringing the total to four. Other connectivity options provided are the component video inputs, VGA port, USB port, RF input for the combo analogue/digital/cable tuner, and an Ethernet port that can connect to the InfoLink system. With three picture modes and three additional Entertainment modes, viewing your favourite shows or movies or playing your favourite games is easy and intuitive.

While this may not be the top-of-the-line in plasma HDTVs, it surely has enough pizzazz to be among the cream of the crop. Some may find the price rather steep, but if you consider that it’s a Samsung, and a Touch of Colour at that, the extra expense is well worth it in the end.

Pioneer KURO PDP-6020FD Review

Pioneer KURO PDP-6020FD - Unrivaled Plasma

If you are looking for great performance HDTV and ready to spend for it, you definitely have to take a look at the awesome Pioneer KURO PDP-6020FD.

Words surely are not enough to describe the breathtaking performance of this top-notch HDTV from the most respected name in plasma TVs. It’s no wonder it’s the favorite piece of serious videophiles who know a great piece of equipment when they see one.

Design

The improvements in this HDTV are obviously in the electronics, rather than aesthetics, as this ninth generation plasma in the Kuro line basically looks much like its predecessors - simple minimalist frame with glossy finish, removable speakers and non-swiveling stand - a very clean look which is probably preferred by those who dislike being distracted from their TV viewing. Pioneer reconfigured the menu system and the remote but it seems the changes made it difficult to access some menus - such as the Picture menu which now takes about four button pushes. Along with the smaller and closely-spaced buttons, we didn’t find the changes adding value to this product.

Screen/picture clarity

The Kuro series is known for its deep blacks and the Pioneer KURO PDP-6020FD surely doesn’t disappoint in this aspect. Truly exceptional blacks are rendered, making the screen come to life with deeper and richer colors. Even shadow details that are usually lost in ordinary HDTVs are observable in this TV set.

The Improved ASIC Video Processing and Scaling provides excellent video rendering and deinterlacing of different video sources. Even Blu-ray discs - often problematic in HDTVs due to the lower 24fps rate in which the discs are recorded - are scaled nicely in this TV and doesn’t present the usual jerky movements that are quite irritating. This set really delivers smooth, realistic pictures that are simply unparalleled in TV plasmas.

One of the things that can stand improvement is color accuracy - the tone is a little bit off in some cases which viewers may find distracting. Another negative thing is the limited tweaking options - something which dedicated videophiles would find annoying. Specialized controls for setting color temperature and sharpening images are almost de rigueur in this class of HDTVs, and Pioneer erred for not including these options.

Features

This Kuro is certainly packed with features, as can be expected from a high-end HDTV. One surely wouldn’t complain gripe about lack of connectivity with this HDTV, as it has four v1.3 HDMI ports, one USB port, one PC connector and an Ethernet port that can be used to link the TV to a home network. Burn-in problems are addressed by the Screen Protection system which allows you to control different features designed to prevent image burn-in. It also has SRS audio technology for sound reproduction that matches the clarity of the screen images.

For video and film enthusiasts who value the deepest black possible in HDTVs, this Kuro definitely delivers that and more, ultimately giving consumers new experiences in TV viewing. Of course, that depends if you have a lot of cash to burn in this pricey set.
