In a 16 minute 43 seconds session I waxed lyrical about ......
Toshiba 32C3030D & 32C3035DB
Sony KDL46W2000 & KDL32S3000
SAMSUNG PS50Q97HD,LE32R88BD & LE32M86BD
PANASONIC TX32LXD7 & TXLMD70
A TV session, yes ALL 9 are TVs.
Apparently the blacks are now REALLY black. Very important or so I am lead to believe. |

Actually, that's not as silly as it might seem. In large-format theaters that are using digital video projectors, video black is a big issue. It relates to the brightness of the screen the picture is being projected onto as well as what the projector can deliver. Video black is really just a dark gray...
I do a lot of writing for documentaries for digital video domed theaters (aka planetariums) which ARE facing the "black isn't quite black" syndrome in video projection. It is, in fact, a major selling point of one of the equipment manufacturers that cater to that market.

Agreed! One of the shortcomings of LCDs is black isn't black. Plasma and LCD still have a bit of work before they are as good as a tube. That's why my wide screen HDTV is a CRT.

To pay for all this technology one needs a good credit card! 6.30pm UK time we travel to New York for a chat with those nice people from Mastercard.
I don't plan my days like this, they just sort of naturally dovetail. |
