Review: Sony BRAVIA Z series LCD TV

Sony's 200Hz technology increases frame rate from 50 to 200 for clarity in fast moving action scenes.

clipped from www.smarthouse.com.au New Sony 200Hz TV Unveiled Sony has announced that the first 200Hz LCD TV will arrive in Australian stores by the end of this month. The BRAVIA Z series LCD TV incorporates the latest ‘Motionflow 200Hz,' a technology that creates three additional unique frames for every original frame, increasing the typical frame rate from 50 to 200 per second. According to Sony, this increased frame rate greatly improves the clarity of fast-moving objects and panning scenes on screen. The screen also comes with a complementary image enhancement technology called IB (Image Blur) Reduction that boosts the sharpness of the final picture by improving the original, frame by frame, before it is processed by Motionflow 200Hz.

Review: Vizio EcoHD 32-inch LCD TV

The latest big selling point for manufacturers seems to be the energy saving characteristics of the latest batch of tv's.

Review: Samsung LE40A856 LCD TV

Rated 10/10 at unbeatable.co.uk, this top of the range Samsung is an excellent all round performer.

clipped from www.unbeatable.co.uk A review of the Samsung LE40A856 LCD TV The pure elegance and class of the Samsung LE40A856 LCD TV shines from every angle of its super slim frame. The frame has been reduced in depth by half compared to the previous Samsung series. This creates an amazing design feature and when wall mounted the LE40A856 sits proudly, nearly flush, on the wall. All buttons are placed on the side panel for easy reach and to keep the smooth glossy finish on the front of the frame and a few touch sensitive buttons are invisible on the front frame until the surrounding area is touched. Nice. When the power is on, a light under the frame glows red and illuminates the stand and logo. Nice.
