I was at a bit of a quandary as to where to place this post, can be entertainment, can be computer, can be imaging software processing………….
But I love the new LED TV technology from Samsung (hey, maybe they could donate a new 101 or 116cm tv to us poor imagers…LOL). At prices between $3500 and $4200 for the 116cm model they are pricy, but they are heaps lighter, brighter and the contrast ratio is 3,000,000:1 not a measly 3000:1 or 30000:1 . Technology like this is simply amazing, the screen width is 1920 * 1080 – I would go for the 101 if I got one so that the pixel size is a wee bit smaller, but surely the clarity of the images would be breathtaking. OK I can see Strongman Mike groaning (no mike its not the 1000:1 contrast ration of the one I have LOL). I had a sqiz at a few of these at JB hifi and honestly the only reason I didn’t get one was the fact the boss would kill me. Maybe the old teac one I have might die – with some help LOL just transfer the one from up the back inside and get this one for myself. The other thing that really impressed me was how thin they are, and the lack of heat they emitted. You stand near a plasma or normal LCD tv and get roasted but these feel cooler. Not sure of the power consumption (with the leds you would imagine it to be less?) but it will be on the list of “nice “ things to get next year (and beyond)
