Not quite sure if NEC‘s three latest will ever be revealed outside of Australia, but we’ll take a look if for no other reason than to appease those in Perth, Sydney and Darwin. Starting things off is the PXT-50FHDP1, a 50-inch 1080p plasma that packs a 100Hz refresh rate, a 30,000:1 contrast ratio, multiple HDMI inputs, a built-in EPG and an integrated TV tuner. As for the other guys, we’ve got the 42-inch PXT42XD3 and 50-inch PXT50XD3, both of which arrive with their own HD tuner, three HDMI ports, a 30,000:1 contrast ratio, RS-232 control ports and a 1,024 x 768 / 1,365 x 768 resolution, respectively.

Wrap-up

After a solid weekend at the OBX with JVC’s capacious HD camcorder, we left underwhelmed with its overall performance. To be frank, the value just isn’t here. For $1,299.99 (MSRP), we simply expected more all the way around. If internal capacity is paramount, the HD40 will be tough to beat. But if you’re down with snagging an HD camcorder with much less internal space and way more impressive results, we can’t help but recommend that you skip over this one. Nothing about the HD40 is remarkable (save for the aforementioned HDD size), and everything else is average at best.

If this unit was priced way below what it is, we might be singing a different tune, but honestly, we’ve seen better results from camcorders that cost hundreds less. Granted, none of those alternatives have a hard drive big enough to hold 15 hours of Full HD footage, but what good is 15 hours of HD footage that really isn’t all that spectacular? Unless you’ve personally played with the Everio HD40 and just found yourself immediately drawn, we can’t say that your hard-earned Benjamins should be exchanged for this one. Have a look at the clips below and see if meets your standards.

It’s a 46-inch LCD screen in 1080p running at 100Hz, which means a super-clear picture by any measure. A 52-inch version is coming soon as well. Sadly, it’s only for the Korean and European market for now.

We like what Armani’s doing with Samsung, taking Sammy’s good electronics and mixing it with his company’s own good looks to make a luxury line. It’s good for Armani and good for Samsung, and great for you if you can afford it.

OK are you going to go with a Plasma TV (older technology, been around since 1964) or do you go with Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) for the Flat Screen TV?

So what exactly is Digital TV and what these things called Flat Screen TVs? Here quite often we see the terms TFT, LCD and Plasma being bandied around as if they are the same yet though they may be similar technologies LCD and Plasma Screens are very different in practicality.

In a nutshell Flat Screen TV�s can either be Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) sets or can be Plasma screen but the two are different. One of the major differences between the two technologies probably lies in the fact that with LCD TV�s because the main technology used is TFT (Thin Film Transistor) by and large the screens are able to be much more energy efficient and potentially much smaller and more mobile.

So lets get down to basics and start looking at individual TV�s.

The first LCD TV that we recommend that you take a look at here is the Sony KDL-32V20000

The KDL-32V20000 is a 32in LCD TV and the prices for these are around 1300 pounds sterling or 2600 US dollars. The resolution of the screen is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD ready the answer is yes. The Sony has 2 (2 RGB) scarts and and the type and number of multimedia interfaces the the Sony KDL-32V20000 uses are HDMI and 1. The type of tuner for this TV is Analogue and Digital and the KDL-32V20000 is available from a wide variety of outlets.

So given this information, what would be our view of the KDL-32V20000?

Well to start with our score for the picture quality is 10 out of 10 and closely tied in to the picture quality is the sound quality and our score for this would be 10 out of 10 Connectivity is important for most of these new media TV Sets and such our score would be 8 out of 10 If we take a look at the overall “featureability” our score would be 10 out of 10 and with regards to ease of use and overall value for money our opinion and score would be 8 and 8 out of 10 respectively.

Taking verything into consideration our overall view of the package would be this TV is very bit as elegant as the rest of the TV’s from Sony and has a performance to match. The visuals are a joy to behold with good performances across the board. The audio is pretty damn good also and the speaker system give a performance that is almost unrivalled. OK the price is slightly more than contemporary units from other manufacturers but in this case we feel that this would be money well spent – always assuming that you had access to the funds in the first place.

The next LCD TV that we recommend that you take a look at here is the Samsung LE-32R87BD

The LE-32R87BD is a 32in LCD TV and currently these TV’s can be found for 700 pounds sterling or 1400 US dollars. The resolution of the screen is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD ready the answer is yes. The Samsung has 2 (1 RGB) scarts and and the type and number of multimedia interfaces the the Samsung LE-32R87BD uses are HDMI and 3. The type of tuner for this TV is Analogue and Digital and the LE-32R87BD is available from a wide variety of outlets.

So to take an initial view how would we rate LE-32R87BD?

The most obvious place to start with as far as TV’s are concerned would be the picture quality and our score here would be 10 out of 10 next we would look at the sound quality and our view of this would be 6 out of 10 Taking a look at the number of relevant connections and their availability, our score would be 10 out of 10 Overall with regards to the actual “featureability” of the set our score would be 10 out of 10 and the final individual verdicts would relate to the ease of use and overall value for money and our scores here would be 8 and 10 out of 10 respectively.

The overall verdict would be that this TV is great value all round. The design and performance marks it as yet another great TV from Samsung.

Remember that all the prices we use in these reviews are very much designed for illustration purposes only and in some cases you may well find the actual price cheaper but also in some cases, more expensive.
