LG Scarlet Review: Touch of Red

LG Scarlet
High definition LCD TV market becomes more crowded. After Samsung and Philips, now LG start to enter the premium market. This South Korea Company launches its new LCD TV, Scarlet.

This Scarlet Label consisted of four size variants: 32 inches and 37 inches for high definition support class and 42 inches and 47 inches for full high definition class. All variant supporting contrast ratio 50.000 : 1.

From this base specification aspect, Scarlet is head to head product for Action series from Philips and made in Samsung TV which has launch to market before. The vendor launches their product with black glossy color domination.

LG tries to makes Scarlet looked eye-catching from various sides. Its front display of course having black glossy color, but its backside is given by red glossy color. This makes it called as Scarlet, alias carmine.

Every LCD TV vendor of course comes with great’s facility. This time LG tries to draws attention with Scarlet thin dimension. With 45 millimeters thickness only, Scarlet is claimed as slimmest LCD TV in the world.

A hole with red LED lamp frames and soft touch sensor become decorative access in front face. This soft touch sensor becomes unique feature.

Via this soft touch sensor television will be turn on or turn off. Just touch your finger into hole, to LED lamp side.

Besides its dynamic contrast ratio reaching 50.000: 1, Scarlet had quickest response time nowadays; 4 millisecond. This feature will make fast moving pictures at television can be seen clearly.

With intelligent eye sensor technology, this television automatically can accommodate level of brightness, contrast, and screen color, with room lighting. This technology also makes your eye not tired when watching TV in long time.

Like Philips, LG also "hides" its loudspeaker through invisible speaker technology. Every unit contains four loudspeakers. For this technology, LG holds mutually Mark Levinson, famous audio company.

LG 50PY3D Review: Not Perfect, but a Pleasing Plasma

LG 50PY3D
The first 50-inch plasma television from LG to feature a 1080p-resolution screen, the 50PY3D turned in mixed performance on my lab tests, but I found its picture quality to be very pleasing once properly configured.

The main problem is with standard-definition (SD) video sources; quality depends on which of the TV's several picture mode presets is used. Some modes overly soften fine details, while others deliver some of the best SD video processing I've seen.

The glossy black frame incorporates a couple of slick design touches, including a display centered along the bottom edge that shows which video input is selected or which channel is currently tuned. Immediately to the right of the display is a set of touch-sensitive controls that are visible only when in use; they are stylish but proved to be a magnet for fingerprints. Integrated side-mounted speakers give the set a wide stance for a 50-inch screen. The crescent-shaped swivel stand provides 40 degrees of travel (20 degrees both left and right).

The 50PY3D offers a native screen resolution of 1,920 by 1,080 pixels progressively scanned (1080p). Overscan is an issue, though; the set expands the picture a bit too much and loses some of the viewable image along the edges. All the HD component video sources sacrificed 6.5 percent of the video picture regardless of menu setting, and SD video was overscanned by 7.5 percent-ideally, this shouldn't exceed 1 or 2 percent.

Like all HDTVs, the 50PY3D provides several picture presets that can be used to optimize picture quality easily for varying room environments. The set's "mild" picture preset came closest to matching standards used in broadcast TV and cinema production. I found its colors slightly oversaturated, but uniformly so. This preset negatively affected standard-definition (SD) picture quality by softening the picture so much that fine details were lost. This problem was less severe with HD video sources, but here I found that objects with curved edges were prone to jagged-edge artifacts.

The set, however, easily handled two scenarios that have historically been challenging for plasma sets: displaying fine color gradients without introducing banding artifacts, and minimizing the appearance of video noise in extremely dark scenes.

The LG 50PY3D doesn’t produce the brightest whites or the darkest black levels, but it does offer some of the best SD video processing I’ve seen from an HDTV-if you can forgive the overscan. With the lights dimmed low and an HD movie rolling, the set's detailed picture and room-filling sound may well wake you to forget its few flaws.

Panasonic TH-42PZ700U Review: Pixel-Packing 1080p Plasma

Panasonic TH-42PZ700U
Meet the first plasma television smaller than 50 inches to offer full 1080p resolution-packing over two million pixels into its 42-inch screen. This Panasonic set offers terrific image quality when playing standard and high-definition video sources, set off by comfortable viewing angles. Although I was disappointed by the resolution limitations of some of the set’s HD-compatible video ports (there’s no 1080p input on VGA or component video ports), this minor flaw was overshadowed by a picture that delivered detail and clarity that few high-definition sets match.

In our labs, the TH-42PZ700U turned in solid performance when fed quality 1080i/p video sources and made standard-definition programming look better than it does on most HDTVs I’ve seen. The set’s screen resolution of 1,920 by 1,080 pixels progressively scanned produced a crisp and detailed image; the default picture size mode with this video resolution eliminates image overscan. Unfortunately, the TV overscanned 720p video by 5.5 percent, sacrificing detail around the video’s border and slightly softening the picture due to increased scaling of the remaining video information.

I used satellite television, DVD video, HD DVD, and Blu-ray media for standard and high-definition video trials. I was particularly impressed with the TH-42PZ700U’s treatment of DVD video delivered at 480i resolution via component video cable. The TV took about 5 seconds to detect film-sourced movies such as Raiders of the Lost Ark, but once it had finished processing, it revealed subtle shadow detail and facial features. The greens in Raiders’ jungle scenes appeared almost electric, but disabling the TH-42PZ700U’s color management feature, as the manual suggested, restored the foliage to a more natural color. The set’s color tracking across dark-to-light intensities was admirably linear and among the best I’ve seen, particularly in the darkest portions of the picture, where the eye is most sensitive to error.

Motion performance with sports and action sequences was as good as on any HDTV I’ve seen to date, and there was no detectable controller input lag when playing Xbox360 games.

In terms of viewability, this TV is an excellent example of plasma’s advantage over LCD and rear projection sets on the task of providing a consistent image at the widest range of horizontal and vertical viewing angels. And the antireflective screen coating proved effective at reducing harsh reflections-in contrast to the highly reflective gloss-finished bezel.

With a street price of around $1,400, Panasonic’s TH-42PZ700U is a steal of a deal for a talented set with full 1080p resolution. That’s quality plasma at an amazing price.

Sony Bravia KDL-46V3000: Blur Sullies Colorful LCD TV


Finding an HDTV at any price that delivers near-accurate color right out of the box is rare, but the 46-inch Sony Bravia KDL-46V3000 did exactly that. The set further impressed me with its ink-like black levels and dark screen material, which together produced a well-contrasted picture in both sundrenched and low-light environments-that is, if you stay in the set’s narrow viewing sweet spot. Unfortunately, when displaying scenes depicting lots of motion, the KDL-46V3000 was among the most smear-prone sets I’ve seen.

The KDL-46V3000 features a native screen resolution of 1,920 by 1,080 pixels progressively scanned (1080p) and provides picture-sizing settings that eliminate video overscan with 1080i and 1080p video signal- ensuring a clearer, more detailed image. Of all the HDTVs I’ve measured, in Cinema mode the KDL-46V3000 was the most color-accurate right out of the box. Also, the set’s dark-colored screen material and antireflective properties allowed it to maintain a well-contrasted and saturated picture even when viewed in well-lit environments.

Viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical, however, did affect the perception of color quality. Loss of saturation was obvious in skin tones starting at 20 degrees off-axis from the center of the screen.

At 40 degrees or more, people assumed a ghost-like appearance. Hence the relatively narrow viewing sweet spot of this TV is worth considering, if even slight off-axis viewing is going to be common in your home theater setup.

The real Achilles’ heel of this set, though, is the way it handles fast-action video. I found that when playing standard and high-definition programming from disc players and satellite television, the KDL-46V3000 was prone to obvious and significant smearing of the picture- particularly in video containing dark or dimly lit scenes.

As with other recent Sony sets, the KDL-46V3000’s menu system uses the XrossMediaBar (XMB) interface introduced with the Playstation 3. It made browsing the available menu options a breeze, and I was especially pleased to find that the menus didn’t close or exit far several minutes-ideal for the tweak-happy videophile.

The Sony Bravia KDL-46V3000 delivers color and contrast those other HDTVs would be challenged to match, albeit within a relatively narrow viewing sweet spot. The set’s excessive smearing while playing moving images, though, proved a constant distraction that makes the set difficult to recommend wholeheartedly.

Mitsubishi WD-65833: Big HDTV, Brash Colors


This huge rear-projection TV draws you in with its vast 6 inch, 1080p screen and continues to please with its ample four HDMI ports. Its also the best RFTV I’ve seen, when properly calibrated, for displaying 1080i digital video sources such as cable and satellite HD programming. Some of the WD-65833’s component video inputs, however, introduced unwanted video noise. In addition, colors were way to vivid at times.

Texas Instruments’ DLP microdisplay technology drives the WD-65833’s screen at 1080p resolution, with image overscan sacrificing 5.5 percent of the video’s border (typical for RPTVs). Projecting standard-definition DVD video content the WD-65833 maintained good image detail, although its detection of 24-fps, material (some film and digital cinema) was sluggish; this resulted in scanline artifacts and loss of detail, until the TV eventually locked on. My HQV Benchmark DVD confirmed that the TV’s film-mode detection was lackluster and revealed its complete inability to detect other common frame-rate cadences, such as those encountered in animated material and time-compressed video (which includes most “edited-for-TV” movies).

On a brighter note, my HD HQV Benchmark tests revealed the WD-65833 to be the best HDTV I’ve seen to date at processing 1080i video into the TV’s native 1080p resolution. Use of the component inputs, however, increased the amount of video noise in the picture- the front component input was especially bad. Two of the TV’s three component video inputs also sacrificed some of the finer details in my 1080i test pattern, slightly softening the picture overall. Again, the front-accessible input was the worst offender.

The WD-65833 produced some very good contrast ratio result, but its picture isn’t as bright as you would get from a smaller RPTV. This set should be fine for a moderately lit room, but won’t be bright enough to counter a sun-drenched environment.

The WD-65833 supports a new color space standard called x.v.Color (aka xvYCC), which displays deeper, more saturated colors than were previously available in a digital video signal. I was pleased to find that the TV’s “natural” picture mode automatically constrains itself to the HD color spec- except for green and yellow, which were unfortunately oversaturated. Green errors were the most noticeable and were visible in skin notes. Taming these wild colors was not difficult, thanks to the TV’s six color saturation and hue adjustments, but it took a little tweaking.

All in all, this big HDTV is affordable for its size and represents a pretty good high-def deal. Just watch out for its overcolor sceen and noisy component ports.
