			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hitachi Home Electronics announced yesterday their new <a href="http://www.hitachi-homeelectronics.us/tv/products/new_models/index.html">LCD HDTV product lineup</a> consisting of two new series – the <a type="amzn">Hitachi UltraVision Series </a>and the <a type="amzn">Hitachi Alpha Series</a>.&nbsp; The Hitachi UltraVision Series comes in screen sizes ranging from 42 inches to 55 inches and has features such as 1080p resolution, 120Hz panel speed, and Hitachi’s Reel120 smooth movie motion technology. The Hitachi Alpha Series has two models at this time (a 32 incher and a 42 incher) and has features such as seven HD inputs with four of them being HDMI connections as well as RGB input for direct PC connectivity. Features aside – the biggest news about these new models? The price. The low end Alpha series has a 32 inch model under $500 dollars. The high end 55 inch model in the UltraVision series comes in at under $1800 dollars. Very nice!</p>

In a <a href="http://www.displaysearch.com/cps/rde/xchg/displaysearch/hs.xsl/090511_preliminary_q109_north_america_tv_results_show_surprisingly_strong_lcd_tv_demand_vizio_rises_to_top.asp">report</a> from DisplaySearch, overall LCD TV sales rose 23% year over year – in large part to aggressive price cuts and the liquidation of Circuit City. Along the way, premium brands such as <a type="amzn" search="Sony LCD TV">Sony </a>and <a type="amzn" search="Samsung LCD TV">Samsung </a>gave way to inexpensive brands such as <a type="amzn" search="Vizio LCD">Vizio </a>which rose to the top of the shipments list – rising from 13% unit share to 19% unit share during the quarter.&nbsp; </p>
<p>Premium brands fared better when consumers looked for advanced features or for larger displays – 40 inches or higher. Here are other interesting tidbits from the report:</p>
<ul>
<li>While North American sales rose year over year, they actually fell 18% from Q4 sales because of “seasonal effects”</li>
<li>32 inch LCD TVs were a bright spot – rising 41% year over year</li>
<li>40+ inch LCD TVs saw no growth from Q1 of 2008</li>
<li>Plasma TV shipments fell 50% quarter over quarter and 5% year over year </li>
</ul>
<p>Here are the top brands in the North American LCD TVs:</p>
<ol>
<li>Vizio at 18.9 %</li>
<li>Samsung at 17.4 %</li>
<li>Sony at 14.5 %</li>
<li>Funai at 8.5 %</li>
<li>Sharp at 7.9 %</li>
</ol>
<p>Top brands in the North American Plasma TV space:</p>
<ol>
<li>Panasonic at 38.7 %</li>
<li>Samsung at 27 %</li>
<li>LGE at 11.9 %</li>
<li>Vizio at 7.2 %</li>
<li>Snayo at 7.1 %</li>
</ol>
<p>Overall leaders in North American flat panel unit shares are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Samsung at 18.2 %</li>
<li>Vizio at 17.9 %</li>
<li>Sony at 13.2 %</li>
<li>LGE at 8.1 %</li>

<p>I just noticed that Samsung’s newest <a href="http://www.samsung.com/us/productsubtype/led/">LED HDTV</a> sets with Yahoo/Intel Widget Channel technology is now available over at Onecall.com. We first saw these widget enabled HDTV sets over at <a href="http://www.krunker.com/2009/01/15/samsung-introduces-new-lcd-hdtv-sets-ces-2009/">CES 2009</a> and it’s exciting to see them available to consumers now. The widget-enabled LED TVs include the new Series 8 and Series 7 product lineups with the largest display measuring 55 inches. (The series 6 LED TVs that you’re seeing all over Best Buy do not have the widget support built-in) </p>
<p>Onecall currently offers the <a href="http://www.onecall.com/ProductDetails.aspx?id=95359">UN55B7000</a> for $3199 and the <a href="http://www.onecall.com/ProductDetails.aspx?id=95181">UN55B800</a> for $3599. As I said back then – my next large-screen HDTV set will be a widget-enabled display.. no doubt about it. Why? It’s cool. Ha.</p>

<p>Remember that crazy <a href="http://www.krunker.com/2009/01/30/philips-announces-cinema-219-lcd-tv/">Philips Cinema 21:9 LCD TV announced at the end of January</a>? You know – the one that has an aspect ratio that closely mirrors today’s movie aspect ratios (otherwise known as anamorphic format)? Well there’s now a date and price for this display – at least for residents of the UK. According to <a href="http://www.slashgear.com/philips-219-52-inch-lcd-gets-priced-and-dated-in-uk-2035290/">SlashGear over the weekend</a>, the 52 inch Cinema 21:9 will be coming out in June for a price of €4000 (£3535/$5044). That’s certainly more expensive than comparable 52 inch panels out there.. but then again, how many other panels can claim a 21:9 aspect ratio? Yeah.. none whatsoever (yet the real question is – will anyone outside of movie enthusiasts really care?)</p>

So you have a standard 16:9 aspect ratio HDTV set and you’re enjoying the latest episode of American Idol in HD which nicely fills the screen from edge to edge.

<p>So you have a standard 16:9 aspect ratio HDTV set and you’re enjoying the latest episode of American Idol in HD which nicely fills the screen from edge to edge. Then you pop in a copy of Transformers in Blu-ray and you’re bugged that the film doesn’t fill the entire display. Why?&nbsp; Because Transformers is shown in anamorphic widescreen or 2.35:1 aspect ratio. So what do you do? You can always try and zoom in or scale the picture to fit the screen but you’ll either lose other data or distort the resulting picture. </p>
<p>Philips has a better idea – why not create a widescreen display that closely matches the anamorphic format? That’s exactly what they did in creating the new Cinema 21:9 display – a display that closely matches the 2.35:1 aspect ratio found in most movies today (it’s just slightly off). The Cinema 21:9 display measures a large 56 inches and features three-sided Ambilight Spectra technology which illuminates the background edges to match the content being displayed. </p>
<p>Oh and what about 4:3 and 16:9/16:10 content? According to the <a href="http://www.cinematicviewingexperience.com/press.html">Philips press release</a>, the content will be stretched or “adapted” to fill the 21:9 screen. Personally, I’d rather see it presented in the original aspect ratio and suffer through vertical black bars. Can’t win it all can we?</p>
<p>The Cinema 21:9 LCD TV will be available this spring.</p>

<p>Sony’s new 11 inch <a type="amzn" search="Sony OLED TV">OLED TV</a> (XEL-1) is now available for purchase at the <a href="http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10551&amp;storeId=10151&amp;langId=-1&amp;categoryId=8198552921644539854">SonyStyle website</a>. Things you need to know about the new “Organic Panel” TV – it measures 11 inches diagonally; it’s incredibly beautiful; and.. it’s incredibly expensive at $2499.99. Yes.. you read me correct &#8211; $2499.99.</p>
<p>AND.. I’m not kidding when I say this display is beautiful. Actually it’s gorgeous. We saw the displays at CES 2009 and colors absolutely pop out from the display. If they were only cheaper and larger.. </p>
<p>Here’s the lowdown on the specs:</p>
<ul>
<li>Measures 3mm thin</li>
<li>1,000,000:1 contrast ratio</li>
<li>Sony Super Top Emission technology intensifies brightness and efficiency</li>
<li>105 percent of the NTSC color space</li>
<li>Fast response time</li>
<li>High brightness</li>
<li>Consumes 40 percent less power than conventional 20 inch LCD panels</li>
<li>960 x 540 resolution with the same pixel density as a 40 inch 1080p LCD TV</li>
<li>Dolby Digital support</li>
<li>1 optical audio input, 2 HDMI inputs with support for 1080p/60, 1 RF connector</li>
<li>Memory Stick media slot</li>
</ul>
<p>Yup – a very sweet display indeed. However, let’s be real for a second here. Despite the gorgeous screen, we certainly can’t recommend this display to anyone right now – simply because the price is just way too high (unless of course money is no object to you). Give it a few years though. OLED displays will slowly come down to earth as manufacturers figure out how to make larger displays at lower costs. </p>
<p>I’ll end things off with pictures that we took of the display at CES 2009. Again – these stills don’t fully express how beautiful the panels really are. OLEDs are our future!</p>

<p>Samsung introduced several new advanced LCD HDTV sets at CES 2009 including updates to their LCD HDTV lineup with CCFL backlighting and a brand new line of LED HDTV sets called the Samsung LUXIA line. We’ll start first with the new LUXIA lineup. </p>
<p>The LUXIA line consists of three new series – 8000, 7000, and 6000 series – all of which build upon the first and second generation LED HDTV sets from Samsung. These TV sets use LEDs as their primary light source instead of Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (CCFL) resulting in high contrast ratios, darker blacks, slim form factors, and increased energy savings.&nbsp; </p>
<p>All three series come with Samsung’s Auto Motion Plus frame interpolation technology. The 8000 Series has a refresh rate of 240 Hz while the 7000 Series and 6000 Series feature 120Hz refresh rates. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.krunker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/20090108ces2009day1191.jpg"><img title="2009-01-08 CES 2009 Day 1 191" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" height="304" alt="2009-01-08 CES 2009 Day 1 191" src="http://www.krunker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/20090108ces2009day1191-thumb.jpg" width="454" border="0"/></a>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To make things even sweeter, the 8000 and 7000 Series both feature the new “Internet@TV – Content Service” developed by Yahoo – essentially the Widget Channel technology shown off by Intel and Yahoo. The TV sets retrieve content from the Internet via wireless or wired connections and displays them using Yahoo’s Widget technology. A widget-based interface and scrollbar runs along the bottom of the screen for easy browsing of the latest content. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.krunker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/20090108ces2009day1111.jpg"><img title="2009-01-08 CES 2009 Day 1 111" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" height="304" alt="2009-01-08 CES 2009 Day 1 111" src="http://www.krunker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/20090108ces2009day1111-thumb.jpg" width="454" border="0"/></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.krunker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/20090108ces2009day1192.jpg"><img title="2009-01-08 CES 2009 Day 1 192" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" height="679" alt="2009-01-08 CES 2009 Day 1 192" src="http://www.krunker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/20090108ces2009day1192-thumb.jpg" width="454" border="0"/></a> </p>
<p>The 6000 Series lacks the Yahoo Widget technology but it does have the Samsung InfoLink RSS service which displays news, sports, weather, and stock information at the touch of the remote. </p>
<p>Other features of these new LED displays include:</p>
<ul>
<li>The frames are just over an inch thick thanks to LED technology</li>
<li>New ultra-slim wall mount solution for these sets which reduces the gap between the TV and the wall to around 0.6 inches</li>
<li>New Touch of Color design &#8211; deep piano black bezel fades into distinct chrome that finishes as a clear prism along the outer edges (8000 Series) or light ruby (7000 and 6000 Series) highlights</li>
<li>Meets Energy Star 3.0 guidelines</li>
<li>LEDs are mercury free</li>
<li>Energy consumption reduced by 40%</li>
</ul>
<p>The 8000 Series features:</p>

<li>Yahoo! powered widgets</li>

<p>LG Display has announced that it’s developed a 480Hz LCD TV panel which it will showcase at the upcoming CES 2009. Great – I’m still using a 60Hz LCD display and barely thinking about upgrading to a 120Hz display!! </p>
<p>Technically, the new “Trumotion 480Hz” display utilizes a 240Hz panel with a scanning backlight which turns on and off rapidly – thereby inducing a 480Hz refresh rate. </p>
<p>Eddie Yeo, Executive VP and Head of LG Display’s TV Business Unit said “The world’s first Trumotion 480Hz LCD TV panel is planned to hit the market in the second half of 2009”. </p>

<p>If you’re living in New York City or you happen to be passing through NYC this month, make sure to drop by the <a href="http://www.grandcentralterminal.com/">Grand Central Terminal</a> to check out the new Sharp AQUOS Experience. The Experience, located on the bridge between the main concourse and Vanderbilt Hall, stands 26 feet high and consists of 43 <a type="amzn" search="Sharp AQUOS HDTV">Sharp AQUOS LCD TVs </a>in a variety of sizes ranging from 19 inches to 52 inches. </p>
<p>As part of the Sharp AQUOS Experience, Sharp will be making a donation to the <a href="http://www.thehopeprogram.org/">HOPE Program</a> &#8211; “a charity that equips its participants with the skills they need to find, keep, and advance in jobs. With Sharp’s donation, The HOPE Program will be able to launch the “Green Collar Project,” a new program to help people find green collar jobs in an environmental field. This will not only allow participants to become economically self sufficient, but will also help preserve the environment.”</p>
<p>Two kiosks flank the AQUOS Experience where consumers can enter a sweepstakes to win one of the 43 TVs from the tower. In addition, Sharp will donate $1 to the HOPE program for every individual who enters the sweepstakes – up to $100,000 total donation and a minimum of $50,000.</p>
<p>Let’s hope security is tight around those displays!</p>
