CES 2008: Samsung Series 4 & Series 5 3D-ready entry-level Plasma TVs

Chris Davies, Jan 9th 2008 Discuss [0]

Samsung's new entry-level plasma TVs, rather unimaginatively-named 'Series 4' and 'Series 5', may not be thirteen microns thick and 800-inches wide like some uber-displays we've seen at CES 2008, but they do boast the ability to display 3D video that previously you would only have found on a DLP HDTV.

CES 2008: APC AV’s C2 power filter discretely protects your flatscreen

Chris Davies, Jan 9th 2008 Discuss [0]

It's ironic that people are willing to spend so much money on high-end LCD and plasma TVs but then blanch at buying power regulating equipment that could save their screen in the event of a lightning storm or power surge. APC AV are certainly taking the "but it looks ugly" argument out of the equation with their C2 Power Filter; while it might resemble little more than a black shoe-box, the fact that it's merely two-inches deep means it can be sited behind a wall-mounted display.

CES 2008: LG unleash tidal wave of new TVs

Chris Davies, Jan 6th 2008 Discuss [0]

It's turning into a day of TVs at CES, but then I suppose for many people Sunday is the ideal time to slump in front of the box. LG seem to be suggesting that you shouldn't even leave the bed: their rather attractive LG40 "Bedroom TV" is 32-inches of HDTV goodness, with a side-loading DVD player and 12,000:1 contrast ratio.

CES 2008: Pioneer Project KURO is 9mm-thick plasma TV

Chris Davies, Jan 6th 2008 Discuss [1]

Is a TV too thin when you can cut yourself on it? We're not quite at that stage yet, but Pioneer are getting there with their Project KURO plasma TV: at just 9mm deep it's the thinnest yet. They've also managed to achieve 'extreme contrast' - i.e. black sections of the screen emit no light whatsoever - and all in something a whopping 50-inches across. Read The Full Story

LG 71-inch 24 Carat Gold TV Takes Decadence To New Heights

James Allan Brady, Aug 16th 2007 Discuss [0]

With LG’s 71-inch regular plasma going for around 28 grand, you can only imagine what a 24 Carat Gold version would go for. The best/worst part, that’s not the only thing LG has gone and coated in pure gold. I guess this mammoth monitor is merely part of a set of subs, speakers, and DVD players that are all coated in gold. That single fact makes me wonder whether the chick standing next to it all is just a model or if she’s packing heat since a single item could probably net you a new car. Read The Full Story

Microtek announces a helluva lot of Plasmas

Staff Editor, Jan 4th 2007 Discuss [4]

Microtek, a company that specializes in video products for consumers, has just announced two new lines of Plasmas, which include 4 different models in total. The Cineon line of Plasma TVs have a "piano-black" frame that is covered with gloss. There is a 42" and 50" version. The smaller version has one large base, while the 50" version has two legs. The other line of Plasmas, simply called Mictrotek, cost $1,000 and $2,000 less, respectively. It comes in a silver-coloured finish, and the sizes are also 42" and 50". The two lines of Plasmas from the company can be compared to as the Macbook and the Macbook Pro line from Apple. The Cineon line seems to be for more professional users, while the Microtek line is for home users. SlashGear will be trying out the TV sets at CES, so we will tell you what we think. Microtek's website has some more info. Cineon Product Page [Via: Microtek]

Plasmas and LCDs galore

Staff Editor, Dec 27th 2006 Discuss [1]

Recently major TV manafucturers have been accross the board as to what their stance is on Plasma TVs and LCD TVs. Panasonic wants to boost sales of their Plasmas, so they are shifting their marketing to put more focus on Plasmas rather than LCDs. Meanwhile, they are offering sizes of 23"-32" for their LCD TVs. Their thinking is that service and quality is enhanced on the larger models, so their focus now is on the smaller LCD models, along with the Plasma TVs. Sony has used their WEGA brand for a while now. They dopped out of the Plasma battle and are now focused on selling LCD TVs. They feel that LCDs provide greater advantage over Plasmas. Infact, their feeling is so strong that they conducted a burn-in test on Plasmas from rival company Panasonic, which revealed that the Plasmas are prone to burn-ins. These claims have been thought of as sketchy, and have been dismissed, as new Plasmas are launched with burn-in prevention. Read The Full Story
