Best television choices to consider for your home theater setup

montsch — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 15:42:26 +0000

These days, people are finding more ways than ever before to enhance their home viewing options. Not long ago, a “home theater” simply meant a well-positioned television in a comfortable room, designed for the family to sit down and watch a movie or some television. Now, however, home theater systems tend to be equipped with the very best in comfort and entertainment, from cozy couches to crystal clear surround sound. Additionally, many home theater enthusiasts are heading to Cabletelevision.com in order to find advanced tv programming options, so as to increase the number of options for programs to watch at home. The most important aspect of any legitimate home theater, however, is the television itself, and it is important to make sure that the TV you choose is of the highest quality. With this in mind, here are a few televisions to consider.

Samsung UN46D8000 46’’ 3D LED TV

- This is one of the hottest televisions on the market, largely because it is the first reliable 3D television to be released from Samsung, which is generally considered one of the safest bets for television providers. As is common with Samsung products, the television at first stands out for its outstandingly sharp physical appearance – which might be a useful perk for a home theater television. Along with exterior aesthetics, however, this Samsung 3D LED TV has fantastic image quality, as well as a built-in WiFi system – meaning that you can stream material from the Internet on your television.

LG 42LK520 42’’ LCD TV

- If you are looking for a high quality option, but aren’t quite ready to make the switch to 3D, this is one of the best televisions available. With a maximum size of 42 inches, this is one of the more affordable high definition televisions on the market, but still offers you the outstanding visual quality that you have likely come to expect from high definition flat screens. For people who are extremely picky about their televisions and willing to spend money for added features and qualities, this may be a bit of an average option – however, if you are simply looking for an affordable and very high quality home theater television, this is definitely one to think about.

Along with the expansion of the home theater market in general, the flat screen television market has exploded in recent years. While the two televisions specifically covered in this article are great options for people who want specific things, there are literally hundreds of quality options out there, and it would be wise to do a bit of research before putting your guitar in its guitar case and decide upon a home theater setup. Having the right television could make all of the trouble worthwhile, and may greatly enhance your home theater setup.

Asia and Europe: still on queue for Sony’s Google TV

montsch — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 07:06:35 +0000

Google Inc., the internet company based in mountain view, is likely to have been having issues in releasing the Sony Corporation’s Google TV specially in China.

Sony seems to be recently itching to introduce its Web-surfing Google TV but customers in Asia and Europe might have to wait for more than a year says by Yoshida Ishida, Sony’s senior executive last Thursday.

Google’s conflict with its relations to Chinese Government might be the culprit according to Ishida. In March, Google pulled its search engine from China in protests about censorship issues and the future between the nation and the top search engine company still remains a question mark.

There are no signs of issues in releasing the Web-TV in Europe though but Sony’s horses are still tight giving no answer as to when will it be released.

“We want to sell it as soon as possible, But I cannot give a date now.” -Yoshida Ichida, Sony Corp.

Big companies and alike should always be hopeful about the Chinese Market due to its massive population size and number of internet customers.

Should the conflict between a Company and a Nation be really an obstacle in bursting out a technology that people can indulge with?

AOC V22+ Verfino – Absolutely Brilliant Color LED Monitor

montsch — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 15:34:35 +0000

Elegant allure

Only when viewed from the side does it become clear how slim these displays really are: no more than 18.5mm – the term ‘depth’ applies here at all. With their timeless, classic design and oval, luxury wine-glass base made from toughened glass, the Verfino models make a lasting impression. Contrasting with the piano black finish is a colorful acrylic strip on the monitor’s lower section, where you’ll also find an ergonomic, galvanized navigation ring for easy screen adjustment.

Technology par excellence

At the heart of the Verfino V22+ model is high performance LCD panels, which in combination with the White LED backlights facilitate an extraordinarily high dynamic contrast ratio of up to 1,000,000: 1. The advantages are obvious: vivid color saturation as well as crisp, minute detailing, even in darker scenes. And thanks to breakneck reaction times of 2 milliseconds, rapid motion sequences can also be enjoyed distortion-free.

The convenient i-Menu software means all adjustments are indicated by colorful, self-explanatory symbols that you can control with the click of a mouse.

Multimedia versatility

Kitted out with an analogue D-Sub RGB input and a digital HDMI port (HDCP compatible), the models accommodate connection options for all standard signal sources.

With a 1.3 Megapixel webcam in addition to accompanying software, a microphone and two discreet in-built loudspeakers, these displays are the quintessential all-rounders for videoconferencing, films, games, chats and multimedia sessions.

Environmental protection in focus

Protection of the environment using green technology is a top priority at AOC.b “Compared to many conventional models, Verfino stands out by consuming approximately 28.95% less power. Featuring an Eco-mode, these displays are completely mercury-free and fulfill the highest international environmental standards (RoHs, EPEAT Silver). In addition, this module uses 100% recycling pulp mold to achieve green carton.
