By Plasma LCD on July 27th, 2008

The Vizio VP422 Plasma TV is very affordable and at $799.99, this 42-inch TV can be an ideal addition to your home entertainment package. Don’t expect it to be as wonderful as the highly priced Plasmas though but it is ok for the average TV viewer.

The Vizio VP422 has great connectivity inluding a PC input and three HDMI ports. It produces clear and crisp images and has a resolution of 1024×720 pixels. It has a 30,000:1 contrast ratio and a brightness of 1500 cd/m2.

However, if you are a discerning viewer then you might have a problem with the inaccurate color reproduction. There is also no aspect ratio control specifially for HD sources.

However, connectivity is great with four HDMI ports and one port for PC which means you can use it for dual purpose. The single pane design is also attractive making it a welcome addition to any home office or living room.

Despite its not so deep blacks the 50-inch Panasonic TH-50PZ800U is perhaps one of the few HDTVs in town with guaranteed performance. It has a 1920×1080 pixel resolution and has a slot for SDHC Memory Card.

The Panasonic Viera is quite expensive though at $2,165.

This 50-inch stylish Plasma TV from Htachi may look sleek but it is not ideal for video afficionados who want more from their sets that what the Hitachi P50X901 can offer.

This HDTV boasts of audio and video controls selection but it suffers from some picture quality problems and poor picture contrast. Of course it has a 1920×1080 pixel screen resolution but this does not make a difference at all and frankly, there are better 1080-resolution TVs out there.

But if you are not at all particular with all that then you will find this TV good enough. It has other charming features like the glass top and side trim that is only an inch thick which makes it easy to clean. You will also get a kick out of the swivel stand which is remote control and which allows you to rotate the screen left and right up to 40 degrees.

Connectivity is also good as it has three HDMI ports, two component video inputs, an RF input and a CableCard slot. You can view your photos through the SD card slot mounted in front for maximum accessibility.

Pioneer’s Much-Improved G9 Kuros

By Plasma LCD on June 2nd, 2008

 

Pioneer’s Much-Improved G9 Kuros will be avaialble this year but only in two sizes, the 50 inches and the 60 inches. Pioneer is settling for bigger screen G9 Kuros this time around as evident with the dropping of the smaller 42 inch offered by the manufacturer before.

To prove its mettle, Pioneer lined up the ninth series, which is officialy known as the Kuros Generation Nine, with other brands as well as its very own G8. As expected, the G9 had outstanding blacks levels that are way beyond what the competition can offer, even by the G8 which Pioneer claims is slight off by 5x deeper.

Take a road test and try watching with the Kuro G9 with the lights off and notice how it is virtually impossible to determine if there is a separate line between the bezel and the screen.

The new G9 can however create a dent in your pockets as it is said to be priced from £2,400 to £4,200 depending on the sizes.
