Active Vision

Active Vision is Toshiba's acclaimed high performance picture processing system. It has been designed to produce high quality, high definition images by enhancing core elements of a television picture:

Images are now spread over a larger number of smaller pixels compared to a conventional LCD TV.
Active Vision reproduces colours with more tones than conventional LCD televisions, producing images with reduced banding for a smoother, more realistic colour progression.
Picture sharpness in fast moving scenes is increased, with a reduction in the jagged edges often seen on lines and fine detail.
The monitoring and adjustment of contrast, enhances detail and increases the ability of the television to represent subtle shade changes.

Dynamic ContrastDynamic Contrast

Dynamic Contrast decreases the TV’s backlight brightness in dark scenes and increases brightness in highly-lit scenes. Getting the best picture detail requires the right balance between brightness and contrast, too much or too little of either is a problem.

Toshiba’s Dynamic Contrast technology automatically adjusts the LCD panel backlight, depending on the level of brightness required by the original signal giving you more vibrant images with a greater intensity when it needs to.

HDMI

High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connections between TV, DVD and other digital equipment are gradually replacing older SCART connections and make it possible to deliver high definition pictures and sound to your HD Ready TV.

The REGZA AV61 Series has 3 HDMI connections, making it possible to connect 3 HD sources (satellite -TV, DVD, games consoles etc) to your TV at any one time.

Energy Saving Recommended by the Energy Saving Trust

HD Ready 1080p

LG HD Ready 1080p (Full HD) provides 1920 x 1080p picture resolution delivering incredible picture clarity and vibrant colours. This results in up to 5 times the picture clarity and detail in comparison to standard definition allowing you to fully experience the true potential of high definition gaming and Blu-ray, taking you even closer to the action.

TruMotion 100Hz

TruMotion 100Hz can reduce blurring on fast moving scenes by displaying one hundred images per second. Standard TV sets only display fifty images per second so more information means higher quality.

Intelligent Sensor

The TV picture automatically adjusts when room conditions change. Intelligent Sensor optimises the brightness, sharpness, colour and contrast of the picture within your viewing environment. This helps to protect against eyestrain, and the TV will use up to 69.5% less power (TUV tested).

Energy Saving Recommended

LG TVs help you save money and the environment. An Energy Saving Recommended Integrated Digital Television (IDTV) can save around £7 a year and 20 kilograms of CO2 each year compared to a similar TV and set top box; they are amongst the most efficient in their class.

With energy-saving features such as ‘Video Mute’, mechanical power-off switch and ‘Intelligent Sensor’, LG has one of the largest ranges of TVs registered to the Energy Saving Trust’s Energy Saving Recommended scheme.

Invisible Speaker

The front bezel works as a speaker, replacing the normal speaker grill. With the Invisible Speaker System, the speakers are embedded in strategic spots underneath and around the front bezel. They enhance the audio by increasing the ‘sweet spot’ to give a wider and richer sound field. This speaker system provides a clean and fashionable design compared with traditional side or bottom speaker designs.

USB

The USB 2.0 feature allows you to connect a USB mass storage device to your LG product in order to play audio (MP3) files and display JPEG images.

Customer Review Extract

"The first thing I notice is the improved design . . . . . Very easy to set up . . . .

The blacks are very good and autoview is a nice addition so that you don't have to change the contrast etc if watching a dark movie late in the evening . . . . . . I tested the sound coming directly from the sky box verses from via the tv and was impressed on the extra surround sound generated. Can't wait to watch my new THX versions of Star Wars to hear what it does.

I'm slighty disapointed in the small size of manual, although you can download a in-depth version. Also, that no cables/adapters are included, but that's just the way things go . . . . . . . . and nice that you have a full-power-down button to save those penny's.

The menu system is straight-forward, hiding the advanced options unless you want to adjust them. I also like the way that when you - for example - adjust the contrast, the main menu screen reduces to the bottom corner, so that you can see how the whole picture changes with each degree of adjustment.

Overall very impressed for the amount of money spent and would recommend to anyone wanting to get a tv in this price range."

EcoPanel

AutoView Toshiba REGZA LCD TVs which feature EcoPanel are specially designed to consume significantly less power than a conventional LCD TV, without comprising on picture quality.

A TV with a conventional LCD panel requires powerful backlights to illuminate the screen. This is where most of the power consumption comes from. By reducing the amount of light required to brighten the screen, REGZA LCD TVs with EcoPanel can deliver the same brilliant HD picture quality, with almost half the power.

With EcoPanel, you can relax knowing you LCD TV is being kind to the environment and saving you up to 45% of your TV’s energy consumption.

Sony Bravia KDL37W5500U 37-inch Widescreen Full HD LCD TV with Freeview and Motionflow 100Hz

37-lcd.co.uk — Mon, 18 May 2009 12:45:29 +0000

According to Sony, the BRAVIA W5500 means you can finally create an easy-to-use home network that lets you share music, video and pictures from around the house on your TV.

As part of the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA), Sony has adopted a universal standard for connectivity that enables your electronic devices, regardless of brand, to ‘talk’ to one another. So now it’s easy to move files between your TV, PC, printer, music player, phone, camera and more, wherever they are in the home.

By integrating your TV into a home network, either wirelessly or via a cable, you can use your BRAVIA remote to find photos on the DLNA-enabled laptop in your bedroom and call them up to your living room TV screen. If you want hard copies, just send them to print on the colour printer in your spare room.

A BRAVIA LCD TV is no ordinary television. Design is sleeker, pictures are brighter, details clearer. All BRAVIA televisions are HD Ready as a minimum, with up to 4 HDMI connections, and come with an integrated digital tuner so there is no need for a set-top box to view Freeview TV and radio channels.

Customer Review Snippets

"What more can I say, crystal clear picture with no pixelation, sharp images and bright colours. The motionflow system is incredible, you can really see the difference it makes."

" . . . . . Incredibly easy to set up and the picture is absolutely brilliant, the xbox has never looked so good... goes perfectly with the black glass stand I ordered from Amazon as well!"

" . . . . the size is great in a smaller area, it doesn't overpower the room."

" . . . crisp, clear and vibrant colours but not overly saturated like LG or Samsung sets. HD sources of course render things beautifully - watching Ratatouille and then Cinderella Man was an absolute joy."

"Best 37inch on the market, easy to set up picture for normal tv is very good, connected my PS3 up to it and played COD4 and watch Lord of the rings and the picture is mindblowing i seen some good tvs but none come near this . ."

"I genuinely rate this TV as a superb viewing experience. The added features of internet capability etc are wasted on me but it's nice to know I've got the technology for the future. Having the Bravia Engine 3 also marks this set out against its predecessors (selling for considerably more). So, for superb Blu-ray and gaming and standard TV viewing which couldn't be any better on a screen of this size I recommend a buy. After all, it's a brand new model and wont depreciate in price for quite some time. "

Motionflow 100Hz lets you see fast-moving sports and action scenes like never before by unlocking the amazing detail they contain.

While similar technologies simply duplicate frames, Motionflow 100Hz intelligently applies information to make movement appear even smoother.

Bravia Engine 3

An LCD television creates pictures by switching millions of pixels on and off. In the W5500 this process is controlled by the BRAVIA ENGINE 3, the latest version of Sony’s advanced digital processing technology. It applies a digital perfecting process to reduce noise and produce cleaner images, higher contrast and smoother motion sequences, resulting in enhanced overall performance regardless of source.

It also detects and adjusts the overall colour distribution of each frame and smoothes diagonal lines of pixels in fast-moving pictures to prevent jagged edges and bleeding colours.

AppliCast™

AppliCast™ lets you see internet information on your BRAVIA TV while you're watching television. You don't have to switch on your PC - just call up widgets onto the TV screen. Three widgets, including a clock and calendar, are already installed on the on-screen XrossMediaBar and you can add RSS feeds of news, weather and more by connecting your TV to the internet via the Ethernet port at the back. Just select the information you want with your BRAVIA remote and it's right there whenever you need it.

BRAVIA ENGINE 2

Every picture is put through a digital perfecting process

An LCD television creates pictures by switching millions of pixels on and off. In the S5500 this is driven by BRAVIA ENGINE 2, Sony’s fully digital video processor that uses a collection of unique technologies to significantly reduce noise and produce clear, vibrant, lifelike images, regardless of their source. For example, it reproduces black just as it appears in the real world to depict objects with impressive depth and realism. BRAVIA ENGINE 2 technology also significantly reduces the visual noise that can lead to blurring..

USB Media Player

The BRAVIA S5500 comes with a built-in USB Media Player that means you can connect devices directly to your TV. Content from your USB device is transferred directly to your BRAVIA TV, so you can listen to songs and see a slideshow of your favourite pictures.

Dynamic Contrast

To ensure consistently amazing picture quality, Dynamic Contrast up to 33,000:1 ensures all shades between the brightest white and the darkest blacks are maintained, giving the image so much depth and detail you’ll want to dive right in. It works by enabling the backlight brightness to adjust according to the brightness of the scene.

Customer Reviews

" . . . My first LCD, I went for this one because I had heard good things about Panasonic, liked the specs, and thought that the price was good.
The TV looks great! The frame is shiny, but you get a little cloth to remove dust. Upon turning it on for the first time, the set up was fast and simple. I didn't even need the manual at first. Above all, the picture looks great! When close-up, DVD and TV looks a little grainy, but it looks great when above 3m away. The colours and textures are rich. However, blu-ray looks stunning! The IMAX images in Dark Knight are breathtaking. I love this TV. Considering a 37-inch full HD LCD?? Get this one!"

"I looked for a LCD for weeks and decided to go with the Panasonic L37S10b37 and I have made the right choice. The picture quality is fantastic and Sky+ could be HD it took me 30 mins to calibrate the right colours but when you get it right its amazing. I also ordered a Blu ray DMP-BD35 Blu-ray Player from amazon and again the quality is fantastic can not recommend the two enough. The picture on normal DVD upscales to 1080 and it is very close to Blu Ray in terms of quality. I watched Iron Man tonight in Blu ray and the picture and sound was mind blowing."

37-lcd.co.uk — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 10:48:29 +0000

The manufacturer description of this television is: 37 inch full high definition LCD television with integrated freeview. 3 x HDMI connections. Gloss Black Frame.

The Samsung 37" has had mixed reviews, mostly good with the issue being about sound quality. At the end of the day it depends on your expectations and requirements from your television.

For example:

"This TV really looks great - the only problem is that the internal speakers are pathetic! I already had the 32" version of a samsung TV and the sound is brilliant!! - I think they simply forgot to put the speaker into my 37" one!!"

Two different customers had this to say:

"I have had no problems, the quality is great and if I had it all to do over again I would certainly buy it again! I have a wii, sat. dish and hd-dvd player hooked up and all are super."

"Very impressed with this purchase so far. I have only used SD upto now but have no complaints with what I see. I can only imagine i'll be more impressed once I go HD and upscale to 1080P. I agree the sound ain't perfect but I have no need to have it blasting and it does what I expect for the price I paid."

3 HDMI

3 HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) inputs enable you to connect quickly and conveniently to a broader range of external devices. HDMI allows uncompressed streams of digital data to be transmitted via one cable, delivering a purer picture quality to be displayed for your appreciation and enjoyment. Appreciate the best that digital entertainment has to offer with Samsung.

And Finally,

"First impressions are that this is superb value for money. HD through my Xbox 360 look fantastic. SD TV looks ok, but just as good as SD is going to be. Bring on HD Freeview. The only downside is the sound quality, which is really quite bad for a Samsung TV. I run the sound through my hi-fi, which sounds great, though. The sound through the TV has just got NO bass whatsoever, so sound is all flat.

The motion isn't jerky, and colours look natrual.

But overall this is a great TV."

The stylish looks hide a wealth of audio technology designed to deliver a powerful audio performance from the integrated speaker system. It will quickly become the centre piece of your home entertainment system thanks to its great looks and the quality of its picture and sound reproduction.

HD Ready

All Toshiba's REGZA AV series models are HD Ready, which guarantees compliance with the standards set for HD broadcasts and playback media. The dramatic increase in picture quality being offered by high definition broadcasts has to be matched by advances in display technology if you are to benefit from the HD revolution. Toshiba claim they are at the forefront of technological advancement, ensuring the perfect integration of technologies to deliver you the ultimate viewing experience.

LCD Picture Processing Active Vision 2

Colour – MPEG noise reduction and 8-BIT colour gamut processing produces screen images with much smoother colour gradation and a reduction in the ‘blocking’ effect that is often noticeable with large areas of colour of a similar detail. (Both high definition and standard definition images are produced with increased detail compared to conventional LCD televisions.)

Movement – Toshiba's Real Speed Continuous Progressive technology removes motion blur and maintains the benefit offered by progressive scan over interlaced image technology. This giant leap forward in the rendering of fast moving objects is particularly attractive to sports fans and overcomes the blurring often found with conventional LCD televisions.

Contrast – Active Vision LCD constantly monitors and adjusts the contrast levels required by the original signal.

Dynamic Contrast

The Dynamic Contrast technology automatically adjusts the LCD backlight depending on the level of brightness required. Dimming the backlight enables the system to reproduce fine detail and more realistic dark scenes, without compromising brightness levels in lighter, more colourful scenes. Increasing the brightness of the backlight in bright scenes will give images more intensity whilst retaining the contrast essential for great detail.

HDMI connectivity

The High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is now regarded as the industry standard for connecting modern audio visual components, having replaced SCART as the connection of choice. HDMI transmits uncompressed digital video and multi-channel audio content through a single cable. Use of this single cable greatly simplifies the installation of home entertainment systems and ensures the very highest quality picture and sound reproduction. All AV series models have two HDMI connections offering convenient connection to more than one HD source, without having to continually disconnect and reconnect your hardware.

Powerful Audio Performance

It’s important the quality of the sound you listen to, is as good as the pictures you watch and the REGZA AV series won’t let you down. A powerful audio performance is delivered by full range NICAM stereo, further enhanced by the optional Bass Boost feature. When you hear the output for yourself, you will not believe all that sound could possibly come through the slimline speakers, cleverly positioned under the screen – it delivers so much, from so little.

The integrated digital tuner gives access to Freeview. The digital signal delivers high quality digital sound and images without the interference and ghosting associated with conventional analogue signals. There’s no end to the entertainment, with Freeview currently offering over 40 TV channels and more than 20 digital radio stations, a superb digital text service and a high-tech electronic programme guide.
