Samsung UN55B6000 vs Samsung UN55B7000

The Samsung UN55B6000 and the Samsung UN55B7000 look alike and offer similar performance, so you might be asking - why is the latter more expensive? This is because in spite of the similarities they share, they do have some differences. Here’s a look at both.

Some similarities of the UN55B6000 and UN55B7000 come from the fact that both share the same edge-lit LED technology, which means they have LED bulbs arranged around the edges of the frame that project the light towards a central sheet instead of the regular flourescent backlight. This results in deeper black levels, though not as deep as those produced by local-dimming LED HDTV sets - those with LED bulbs arranged in clusters behind the front panel, while allowing each set to run cooler, consume much less electricity and weigh less than 25 kilograms.

Another distinct similarity they share is the design, so you might not be able to tell them apart just by looking. This isn’t a bad thing, though, since the design they share is one of the best around - with the screen seamlessly surrounded by a sleek black bezel tinged with a red border and finishing off with a transparent outer edge. Both come with swiveling stands - transparent stalks atop a metal base with the same red tinge.

Even from the back, you won’t be able to tell the UN55B6000 apart from the UN55B7000, simply since they sport the same connectivity suite. This consists of four HDMI inputs, a component video connection, a VGA-style PC input and two USB connections among others - impressive enough but if you have several old analog devices you wish to connect, you might run into some problems.

If you turn on either HDTV, you will also find that they have the same user-friendly on-screen menu and picture controls, which include four adjustable picture modes, five color temperature presets and four aspect ratio selections. And if you try watching a fast-paced action movie, you can find the same dejudder processing system in action, which, combined with 120Hz refresh rate, creates superb motion resolution.

So how do you distinguish the UN55B6000 from the UN55B7000? The interactive features is the key. Indeed, the main advantage the UN55B7000 has over the UN55B6000 and the reason why it costs more is because it has more interactive features, like the Yahoo widgets that are found on many high-end HDTVs, the built-in content library of recipes, exercises and HD photos that has become one of the trademarks of Samsung HDTVs and access to media files on networked computers via its DLNA compatibility. The only thing it lacks in this sense is the capability to stream videos from online servers directly - something some more expensive sets are equipped with.

On the other hand, you will find only the InfoLink portal on the Samsung UN55B6000 which keeps you posted on online information like news, local weather and stock market reports but is not as good as the Yahoo widgets which also serve the same purpose.

Other differences are harder to discern, like the more saturated colors of the UN55B7000 or the warmer blues and better shadow detail of the UN55B6000. In any case, the effects of these on the picture quality of each model is also hard to discern, so you will only see breathtaking images with accurate, realistic colors and deep blacks. That alone is enough reason to buy the Samsung UN55B6000, though if you have more money to spend and want an HDTV you can truly rely on for online information or one that offers network streaming, then the UN55B7000 should suit you just fine.

Pros and Cons of the Panasonic TC-P58S1

The Panasonic S1 series is one of the company’s most affordable Plasma series. This doesn’t mean, though, that it isn’t composed of excellent HDTVs. While it has some bad points, it also has great features. Just take a look at the Panasonic TC-P58S1.

Picture quality is the strength of the Panasonic TC-P58S1. Indeed, it can deliver very deep blacks, just as deep as LED-lit LCD displays or the best Plasma sets around. This leads to sharper and more realistic images overall, with impeccable shadow detail and rich colors, even if they are not the most accurate. Even during fast motion sequences, the images do not suffer from blurring but rather retain their superb quality, as expected of a Plasma with a 600Hz Sub-field drive.

Another good thing about the TC-P58S1 is that it is an energy-efficient Plasma, thanks to its Neo PDP panel, although it still consumes more electricity than LCD sets. It is also a user-friendly HDTV, with a clicker which, in spite of lacking a backlight, offers responsive buttons that are easy to distinguish from each other and a straightforward on-screen menu with large text and a blue and yellow color scheme.

Its design is not bad, either. True, its glossy black frame may be relatively thick and devoid of any accents or borders to make it stand out from the rest except for a subtle silver strip at the bottom, but this means it will look good in any living room. Also, the frame is interrupted only by the logos, the power button and the indicator light, so you can keep your eyes on the images you see on the screen itself.

Now, for the cons. One is the fact that the TC-P58S1 lacks interactive features. You won’t be able to access online updates or videos on this one, nor be able to access the media files you have stored on your networked computers. Rather, the TC-P58S1 is built just for viewing entertainment so if you want your HDTV to offer more, you’ll have to look elsewhere, most likely higher up in the price list.

The Panasonic TC-P58S1 also falls short when it comes to picture settings, which many users, especially videophiles, rely on to tweak the images on the screen to perfection according to their own standards. Indeed, there are no gamma controls or color management settings or any of the more advanced adjustments, just the five picture modes - four of which are adjustable, three color temperature presets and five aspect ratio selections, as well as limited noise reduction options and a function which adjusts the picture quality to suit the ambient lighting.

Connectivity isn’t too impressive, either. True, it has three HDMI inputs - two on the rear and one on the side panel, and it also has two component video inputs and an SD card slot so you can easily share your photos with your family and friends, but it would have been better if the Panasonic TC-P58S1 offered a PC input, too, as well as more analog connections and maybe even a USB port.

The last area in which the Panasonic TC-P58S1 lacks is video processing. While capable of displaying great motion resolution, the screen of the TC-P58S1 suffers from hitching motion when displaying 1080p and 24p content though only a trained pair of eyes can catch this. If you only care about enjoying a superb home viewing experience, you shouldn’t have a problem with the TC-P58S1. In fact, if you can’t afford to spend too much, you should be perfectly happy with it.

Panasonic Plasma HDTVs - Panasonic TC-P54V10 and TC-P54G10

Filed under Computers

If you’re looking for a great Plasma HDTV to grace your living room in spite of all the hype created by LCD HDTV, you might want to take a look at the Panasonic section of your local electronics store. The Panasonic TC-P54V10 and TC-P54G10, in particular, are excellent choices.

One of the main features of both the TC-P54V10 and the TC-P54G10 is the THX Certified Display. Indeed, with the THX mode turned on, both models can transform your living room into a movie theatre as it faithfully recreates its audio and visual ambience. This means you can watch movies as they were meant to be watched without leaving your home. Color accuracy is also increased in this mode, although not as accurate as those in the Custom mode, as well as color saturation, gamma performance and other image characteristics.

Another main feature of both the TC-P54V10 and TC-P54G10 is the Viera Cast, which is Panasonic’s interactive suite. This allows viewers access to online updates from Bloomberg, such as news headlines and stock market updates, as well as local weather reports, YouTube videos and Picasa web albums. The best thing about Viera Cast is that it allows viewers to watch high quality videos - many of them HD - from Amazon Video on Demand, where a library of thousands of full movies and TV episodes are available via live streaming or for downloading without a subscription fee.

The best thing about the TC-P54V10 and the TC-P54G10, though, is picture quality. Indeed, both deliver breathtaking images, thanks to their black levels, the depth of which rivals the best Plasmas and even LED-lit displays. Because of this, the shadow detail is also impeccable and the rest of the colors appear even more saturated - something especially true with the TC-P54V10, which is equipped with Digital Cinema Color.

In spite of their similarities, though, they also have some distinct differences, making the TC-P54V10 better in some ways. For one, the TC-P54V10 is better in processing 24p or film-based content since it has a 96Hz mode, which when engaged, prevents the usual hitching problems and flickering. The TC-P54G10, on the other hand, shows signs of flickering when handling 24p content since it only has a 48Hz mode. When it comes to 1080p sources, both offer a similar performance.

Even in terms of design, the TC-P54V10 looks more stylish than its step-down model. True, both have the same glossy black frame and that of the TC-P54G10 is even thinner on all sides but what makes the TC-P54V10 eye-catching is its seamless design, with its entire front panel covered in just one sheet of glass, along with its subtler silver accent. Other than this, both have the same round non-swiveling black stands and invisible speakers although the TC-P54V10 produces better audio quality and even creates authentic 3D sound effects.

For videophiles, another reason to love the Panasonic TC-P54V10 is its Pro Setting Menu, which means it offers more picture adjustments than most Viera models, including the TC-P54G10. It also has an extra picture mode called Studio Ref, for a total of five adjustable picture modes and one that’s independent per input - the Custom mode mentioned earlier. Add to that the usual five color temperature presets, color management options and five aspect ratio selections and you can have many ways to improve the picture quality of your HDTV. There is even a function that adjust it automatically for you in response to the ambient lighting.

The Panasonic TC-P54V10 also has the upper hand in connectivity with four HDMI inputs, two component video inputs, a PC input and an SD card slot, to name some. Still, its little brother, the TC-P54G10 is not so bad, offering just one less HDMI input. The biggest difference between the two, though, is their price and if you consider that the TC-P54G10 is just as good as the TC-P54V10 with a lower price tag, it isn’t bad at all.

The Samsung UN55B7000 or the Samsung UN55B8000 - Which is Best?

If you’re looking for a 55-inch LED-based HDTV, the Samsung UN55B7000 LED HDTV and the Samsung UN55B8000 55-Inch LED HDTV are two of the top offerings from Samsung. Both deliver breathtaking images at much less the energy consumed by other models. The UN55B8000 is more expensive, though, which makes one wonder if the UN55B7000 is just as good.

Let’s take a look at the key differences of both models. For one, you can be able to tell them apart by just a glance, since the UN55B7000 has a distinct amber border on its panel, while the only touch of color on the UN55B8000 is its blue power indicator, which can even be turned off. Both are among Samsung’s thinnest HDTVs, measuring a maximum of 1.2 inches deep, although the UN55B7000 is a few inches taller. Both also come with matching swivelling stands - charcoal grey for the UN55B8000 and red for the UN55B7000.

Their clickers are different, too, with the one that comes with the UN55B7000 being more user-friendly, with backlit buttons that are easy to press and differentiate instead of the less-than-responsive scroll wheel. Its design has been slightly modified, too, so that it remains stable on flat surfaces, although it won’t work unless pointed to the screen - something the UN55B8000’s clicker, with its RF capability, can do. Both have secondary remotes for power, channel and volume controls.

When it comes to picture quality, both offer relatively deep blacks due to their LED lighting, although those of the UN55B8000 are slightly deeper since it sports a dynamic contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1 whereas the UN55B7000 has 3,000,000;1. The UN55B8000 also comes with a Wide Color Enhancer Pro that maximizes each pixel for more vibrant colors, although the colors displayed by the UN55B7000 are no less vivid and the images no less crisp.

The last major difference is that of the refresh rate. In particular, the UN55B8000 prides itself on its high refresh rate - 240Hz - which is two times better than the UN55B7000. Still, both effectively prevent blurring even with the dejudder processing turned off - a mechanism scarce on Sony HDTVs.

These are the major differences of the Samsung UN55B7000 and the Samsung UN55B8000. Other than these, the rest is pretty much the same. Both get a score for interactivity with basic Yahoo widgets that keep you posted on the latest news, weather and stock market updates so you don’t have to turn off your computer, and both allow you to access media files from networked computers without leaving the room. Like other Samsung models, both also have an extensive built-in content library which you can access anytime.

Both models are highly energy efficient, mainly because they are edge-lit LED-based LCD televisions, which means they consume nearly half less than conventional LCDs and even less than other types of HDTVs. In addition to that, you get three power-saving modes that cut down energy consumption even further. As for connectivity, there aren’t too many analog connections but there are four HDMI inputs provided - enough for your digital devices - as well as a VGA input for your computer and two USB ports that make it easier to share files directly from your thumb drive, MP3 player or digital camera.

So, should you buy the Samsung UN55B7000 or the Samsung UN55B8000? If you want truly outstanding picture quality, you should go with the latter, that is, if you are willing to pay more. On the other hand, the images on the former are not half bad, and are still sure to keep you happy.

Picture Quality For Dummies

Filed under Audio Video

You can easily see with your own eyes the difference between good and poor picture quality. However, the technical definitions of image quality are rather complicated: image quality is a mix of contrast ratio, color saturation, accuracy and resolution.

Contrast ratio is the ratio between the brightest and darkest color a HDTV can produce. The better your system is, the higher contrast ratio it can produce. If your system has low contrast ratio, you will experience dull and washed out images, and fine details will be lost. The good news is that there were great improvements in contrast ratio, and even cheap HDTVs have enjoyable contrast ratios at this time.

Black levels are also very important for good picture quality. Good black levels mean you see absolute blacks, not greyish blacks. Poor black levels can be especially annoying in dim light conditions, because this is when your eyes are very sensitive about blacks. Lot of people achieve absolute black by setting the black levels too low: by doing this you may have absolute blacks, but black shadow details will be lost. Another important aspect of picture quality are the high white levels.

High white levels make the images on the screen appear vivid and lively. This makes the viewing more pleasant. Again, lot of people make a mistake by setting the white levels too high: this way certain details and bright highlights can be lost.

Important characteristics of the images on your display are color temperature, saturation and accuracy. 6500K, corresponding to daytime illumination, is the standard for color temperature. This is the natural light temperature. Everything above this is bluish, and everything below is yellow or reddish. If the color temperature is not set properly, every color will be bluish or reddish.

Color saturation can be relatively easily adjusted by using the color patterns that come with calibrations discs or TV channels. Color accuracy depends on how your HDTV decodes the image data. These are pretty complicated issues. You may want to read more about this elsewhere, but if you only want to stay at beginner-level, it is enough for you to know that the decoders of your system should match the color encoding used in film production.

Greyscale and display characteristic also affect the color reproduction of your HDTV, but again this is above the beginners knowledge about image calibration. You can choose to learn about this, or you can hire a specialist to do it for you.

The latest HD resolutions provide 5 times more pixel amount compared to Standard Definition. As a result, image is not simply clearer, but there is night and day difference: the smallest detail can be noticed on the image. If you want to have the best, go for 1080 capable HDTVs.

The term of percieved sharpness relates to resolution. It means users can sharpen artificially the image without modifying the resolution by creating a crisp edge along the border of the image. This also gives the impression of better image quality.

Samsung UN55B8000 - Edge-Lit HDTV pros and Cons

Posted by 1BigCloset on February 15, 2010 – 4:25 am
Filed under Computers

The high-performing Samsung UN55B8000 55 inch LED HDTV is one of Samsung’s most talked about LCD HDTV models, not just because of its price - 00 to 00 - but also because it is at the top of the line of Samsung’s edge-lit LED televisions. But what exactly is an edge-lit HDTV?

To understand the concept of an edge-lit HDTV, first, you have to know how an LED TVs works. While a regular LCD television uses a single fluorescent lamp as a backlight, an LED-lit LCD television uses hundreds of small bulbs (called light emitting diodes or LEDs) covering the back of the screen. Because of this, LED-based televisions are brighter and can produce more vivid colors and in particular, deeper blacks - a result of the fact that a group of LEDs can be totally turned off while part of a fluorescent lamp can only be dimmed. LEDs also consume less power but can last much longer.

Because of this, LED-lit HDTVs are becoming popular. However, most of them are direct-lit, which means that the LEDs cover the entire panel and project the light forward. On the other hand, the Samsung UN55B8000 is edge-lit, which means that the LEDs are only on the top and the bottom of the panel, projecting the light towards the center where a light guide plate reflects it forward and focuses it accordingly.

Edge-lit HDTVs have a few advantages, one of which is that they can be made thinner and lighter - something Samsung is definitely taking advantage of. Indeed, Samsung’s latest LCD HDTVs are very slim, and therefore, more stylish, especially when mounted on the wall. In fact, the UN55B8000 is just 1.2 inches deep at most.

Another advantage is that edge-lit HDTVs consume even less electricity. In fact, while LEDs already consume half the electricity that a fluorescent lamp uses, edge-lit HDTVs use far less. The UN55B8000, in particular, consumes up to 40 percent less power.

As for the cons of an edge-lit HDTV, these are basically issues on screen brightness, uniformity and the heating of the frames, especially along the top and bottom where the LEDs are situated. Samsung has done a good job of minimizing these, though, so that with the UN55B8000, you can only notice the lack of uniformity during dark scenes, and only if you have a trained eye.

There are other reasons to buy the Samsung UN55B8000 aside from its edge-lit LCD lighting technology, like its accurate colors and excellent video processing with a refresh rate of 240Hz that prevents blurring even when the action picks up. It also has Yahoo widgets which you can put on your screen, DLNA capability that lets you access stored media files on your networked computers and a built-in content library to keep you entertained. While there aren’t much connectivity options for analog devices, the UN55B8000 still provides four HDMI inputs, a PC input and two USB ports.

Overall, the Samsung UN55B8000 is a great buy, that is, if you can afford it. After all, it is not only an edge-lit LED-based LCD HDTV. With an eye-catching design, a bunch of great features and breathtaking images, it might as well be Samsung’s best LED TV yet.

 

5 Reasons to Buy the Panasonic Viera TC-P65V10

Filed under Computers

Looking for an excellent 65-inch HDTV? Here are five reasons why the Panasonic Viera TC-P65V10 should be at the top of your list.

1. Infinite Blacks

Plasma televisions are known for their outstanding black levels which contribute to the creation of breathtaking images and the Panasonic Viera TC-P65V10 is no different. In fact, it takes black levels to the next level with its Neo PDP panel and Real Black Drive System, making them infinite with a dynamic contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1.

2. THX Mode

With the TC-P65V10, you don’t have to buy tickets to enjoy the movie theatre experience. You can enjoy it right in the comfort of your own living room by engaging the THX mode. This mode enhances color accuracy, detail and other picture characteristics, and even raises the audio quality up a notch, faithfully recreating the ambience of a movie theatre.

3. Video Processing

Like most HDTVs, this Viera model de-interlaces both film-based and video-based sources properly and displays every line of 1080p and 1080i content. Furthermore, it can reproduce 24p content efficiently with a 96Hz refresh rate - better, in fact, than the 2:3 pulldown option that other HDTVs offer. This means that you can get to see films in their original format without having to suffer from any flicker or other distracting problems. The TC-P65V10 also has a 600Hz Sub-field Drive, which keeps images smooth and crisp during fast sequences.

4. Interactive Add-Ons

Nowadays, HDTVs are loaded with a lot of interactive features and the same goes for the TC-P65V10. For starters, it comes with the Viera Cast like most other Panasonic models - a feature that allows access to photo files on Picasa and the latest news updates from Bloomberg, provided you have an internet connection. It even allows you to stream or download online videos like the free ones from YouTube and the high-definition ones from Amazon Video on Demand, which you can get without a subscription. If you have video and music files stored on your computers at home, you can play them, too, with the TC-P65V10’s DLNA capability - another new bonus for the V10 series.

In addition to the Viera Cast, you get the Viera Link and Viera Image Viewer. The former lets you turn your HDMI-compatible devices on and off remotely, which makes setting up your home theatre easier while the latter makes sharing photos a breeze - just insert the SD card slot, select a display effect and a background music and you’re good to go.

5. Adequate Inputs and Outputs

Whether you have a lot of digital devices or analog devices, you won’t have to worry about connecting them to the Panasonic Viera TC-P65V10, which has adequate connectivity. On the back, you will find two component video inputs, enough AV inputs and three HDMI inputs - the fourth one is on the side panel for easy access, along with the VGA input for connecting your computer.

These features, combined with a sleek design and other extras like a wide viewing angle and a Tools menu, make the TC-P65V10 one of the best Viera HDTV models available today. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most expensive, so if you’re on a tight budget, you can start looking somewhere else. Then again, the Panasonic Viera TC-P65V10 is worth every cent.

 

The TV Craze

Most persons have found out of the LCD plasma TV technology. It is a craze that’s sweeping the globe and is considered by some to be the solitary approach to view TV or play video games. Those older and larger TVs simply will not cut it any longer.

 

This is an epoch of technology and of folks asking for superior quality in their viewing. If you have not had an opportunity to look into one of these flat screen TVs, then you are doing yourself a mammoth wrong.

 

Whether you buy a Samsung television or a Sony High Definition Television plasma television, you are part of a growing trend. Various people are converting their former, wide TV sets for the new leaner TVs. Remember those wide screen televisions that filled the majority of the living room? Forget about those outdated relics!

 

They provided distorted images and lighter colors. Liquid crystal display and plasma televisions slate those antiques away by presenting contemporary technology that spares users the deformation. Monday night football never looked so perfect when viewed on this contemporary phenomenon.

 

Okay, so an LCD plasma television is a bit pricier than what you paid for your ancient television. Then again, if you remember back, then you may realize that the price divergences are rather trivial. At that time, huger screen televisions could certainly sell at $500.

 

These days, you can own flat screen televisions for as small as $628 if you spot them on sale. Wal-Mart presents an RCA liquid crystal display HDTV for that price. It is 32″ and has an in-built DVD player. You are getting a 2 for 1 bargain.

A few individuals don’t ponder on buying their products or merchandise at big name retail stores because they like to aid their local businesses. This is creditable and there needs to be a concerted endeavor to save local businesses.

 

Nonetheless, the collapse of shopping at local “Mom and Pop” stores is that they possibly will not have the choice you like and if they do have the correct Samsung television or Panasonic plasma television, then you’re gonna pay more.

 

Throw out that boring old television set that is covering so much room! An LCD plasma TV will change how you view movies or play video games. You could go one pace past by buying cable or satellite packages that give HDTV. The difference between regular cable or satellite and high definition is astounding. Jump into the trend and witness what you’ve been passing up.

The Sony BRAVIA KDL-52XBR9 HDTV is a generously-sized, flat television set that provides you with a great picture and sound. All this from a television that is slim and quite lightweight!  There is no comparison between the Sony KDL-52XBR7 and television sets from the past, which were hefty and not aesthetically pleasing.  Instead of feeling like you need to stash the TV set in a cabinet, you will be able to gladly exhibit this new kind of TV.  The 52-inch screen makes it very easy to see the TV and allows for quality picture and audio.

The colors shown on the Sony KDL-52XBR7 are brighter and this screen encompasses many more colors colors in the spectrum than ever before.  Older television sets were severely limited as to the number of colors that could be displayed.  Comparing the number of colors that can be seen with the Sony KDL-52XBR7 to those that could be seen in the older tv sets is similar to comparing an ordinary color TV set to an old black-and-white set.

In addition to the color quality, the digital enhancements allow for superior picture viewing.  The picture is much crisper than any normal television set and even blows away other HDTV sets that are made by competitors.  The Sony brand has always been ahead of the game when it comes to electronics and the Sony KDL-52XBR7 is simply another example of the high-quality products that you have learned to expect from the Sony brand.

The picture is not the only thing that makes the Sony KDL-52XBR7 better than other television sets, however.  The sound is also far better and is also easier to hear.  The surround sound system incorporated into this television model will let you enjoy the sound in stereo – as if it’s all around the room.  This is the kind of sound that you are used to enjoying when you attend the cinema, only now you can enjoy it in your own entertainment room when you buy this television. If  you’re looking for a set that’s a bit smaller, consider the Sony KDL-46XBR8 BRAVIA HDTV. 

The slim look of the Sony KDL-52XBR7 also makes it unique and a step ahead of its competitors.  The make is so slender and so far removed from television sets of the past that it can even be mounted on the wall just like a picture frame.  You can also put it on a stand and watch it in like that.  There are many options when you describe how you want to display the Sony KDL-52XBR7, but the attractive design will make you want to display it, instead of hiding it away in a cabinet, as you could have done with less nice-looking tv sets.

The Sony BRAVIA KDL-52XBR9 HDTV is a step ahead of other television sets in that it provides the highest quality picture and sound that is currently available when it comes to state-of-the-art television sets.  If you want to get a 52-inch screen TV that is genuinely state-of-the-art and offers you the most innovative television technology, you should look into purchasing the Sony KDL-52XBR7.

What Kind of TVs Does Hitache Produce?

Even though you can still get a Hitachi projection television, this company is now developing and marketing the front projection television models which incorporate digital light processing as the procedure for transmitting the picture.  Hitachi is one of a few manufacturers that are moving towards more slender televisions to meet the demands of the public.

Projection television sets are available in rear and front projection versions.  They are still an intelligent choice for consumers who will be shopping for jumbo screen, high definition televisions as they remain more affordable than the flat screen LCD televisions, in spite of the fact that flat screen televisions have become less expensive in recent years.  The Hitachi projection television is sold as a home theater system and features digital light processing as the means by which the photo is sent to the screen. 

Most televisions manufactured recently offer digital processing due to the fact that signals are quickly switching from analog to digital.  Digital signals are more efficient and can offer consumers a better picture.  If you currently subscribe to cable or satellite television, you may have already experienced the difference in television reception provided by digital signals. 

When you choose your new Hitachi projection television, you may then decide from among several sizes that feature digital light processing technology.  This allows a small picture that is received from the video signal to be expanded to the size of the TV.  Hitachi markets several versions of a front projection television, with screens that range between 52 and 72 inches wide.  Needless to say, the expense of each model is decided primarily by the size of the screen. 

Digital light processing televisions provide high quality projections and are routinely considered a technological advancement compared to the LCD projection.  The reason why consumers overwhelmingly favor the LCD televisions is these televisions are flat. Although the Hitachi projection television is still too bulky to hang on your wall, it is significantly less bulky than older big screen televisions.  In addition, a DLP television is substantially more reasonably priced than the flat screen, LCD television with a comparably sized screen.  Because usually people do not have a television attached to their wall –as LCD flat screens are made to do - it does not matter to the majority of consumers whether the television is extremely slender, as long as it offers state of the art picture and sound. 

While there remain a few Hitachi projection televisions available which employ CRT technology which produces a heavier unit, the primary focus for the Hitachi projection television industry is concerned with front projection.  Hitachi is currently one of the major manufacturers who are working with 3D television technology which will easily adapt to front projection digital technology and might be offered to customers soon.
