Samsung LN46A550
July 21, 2008 by neotech · Leave a Comment
User-friendly and a certified eye candy–two reasons why this TV set is an excellent choice.
Save for some minor slips like images on shown on the set that’s lacking detail and user’s manual isn’t completely helpful, the Samsung LN46A550 is almost a complete package. It is easy to see that this TV is almost perfect.
First up is an image test. We scouted nine 46- and 47-inch high definition sets .And among these; it is the one from Samsung that got attention. This set particularly got a high rating for its Blu-ray discs. The set makes pictures look like they’ve come straight from 35mm print as shown when we Read more
Toshiba 46XF550U

The highly expensive High Definition TV that has underwhelming features is found lacking when it is compared to others of its kind.
It isn’t readily understandable to us how Toshiba might consider its 46XF550U to be already worth selling for two thousand five hundred dollars. With the forty-six and forty-seven inch High Definition TVs included in our 2008 tests for image quality, the model came in at number 5 out of the 9 contenders.
The judges that we had for image-quality have noticed an overly yellow color for the people appearing in our “According to Jim” segment. Though another judge had found that the clip Read more
Samsung LN-T4061
July 21, 2008 by neotech · Leave a Comment
The Samsung LN-T4061 looks very much like the HP-T4264, after all they both came from the same manufacturer. But they don’t seem to have only the manufacturer in common because their features and technology are almost identical. On the tests, both HDTVs managed to get almost the same marks.
Although the Samsung LN-T4061 is smaller than the HP-T4264, they are both the same when it comes to menu, design, remotes, etc. Another difference between those two would be the fact that Samsung LN supports 1080p and has an LCD panel, while the other uses a plasma screen.
This product is a bit above average compared to other products in its category. During the tests it managed to get a satisfactory score but it’s far from being on the first places. Everything looked Read more

When the Sharp Aquos LC52D92U is first unboxed and unfettered from all of its packaging, you will find that you need help in moving your new HDTV around the room to its correct viewing position. This television set, which can cost upwards of $5300 weighs in at over 70 pounds and after completing the attachments, that weight jumps to over 90 pounds.
While many TV’s of this size can be heavy, one good reason to grab a friend to help with your new big screened electronic gadget is to prevent damage to this product. Read more
HP PL4272N
July 21, 2008 by neotech · Leave a Comment
The PL4272N isn’t the best product in the world when it comes to HDTVs, however it turned out to be a fairly good product for a low price if you aren’t too picky. The resolution is not the best you can find; the 1024 by-768-pixel keeps it from being a better option on the market.
The visuals can be eye damaging, they tend to have a pink color, especially when showing people’s skin. That looks unnatural and gives an artificial touch to the whole scene. If you are a master in visual settings maybe you can remove that by manually setting your TV’s colors.
The menu is quite organized and may seem familiar to the people who bought the Read more
Dell W3207C HDTV Review
July 21, 2008 by neotech · Leave a Comment
The Dell W3207C is a feature packed 32 inch LCD high definition that is well worth its price of $1200. It has received great scores and passed every test it has been put through thus far. The W3207C also features a beautiful design that will look good in every home.
Included in its design is both an NTSC and ATSC tuner for analog and digital signals. When all signals change to digital in the near future, you won’t have to worry about getting extra connectors to still view broadcasting channels.
When viewed under a steady test of different lighting situations, the Dell W3207C ………. Read more
