TVs For The 2010 World Cup.
Unless you’ve been living in an underwater cave for the last couple of weeks, you’ll be aware that the World Cup is rapidly approaching, with the first games starting in a mere few days. We know that many of you out there have been looking to get a new TV in time for the tournament, be it a second TV so you can watch in bed during the wee hours, or an upgrade for the main TV in the house. We thought we’d pop in a quick article to let you know some of what’s available for immediate dispatch, with arrival to most parts of the country in time for the tournament.
Samsung’s Pinpoint Dimming… What Is It?
Since we became among the first in the country to take stock of the Samsung Series 8 LED TVs, the key distinguishing feature, Pinpoint Dimming, has been a major point of conjecture. We therefore though it would be good to compile the information we have about it in this short, sharp blog post.
So, Pinpoint Dimming… there is a technical description and a non-technical description. So as to keep it simple, we’ll start with the simple one. Pinpoint dimming effectively increases the number of LEDs within the TV, which improves the TV’s ability to control the exact amount of light that is produced. This in turn allows for enhanced colours and, importantly, deeper blacks. This means your overall picture quality receives a good boost thanks to the pinpoint dimming technology.
Sony’s 2010 TV Range… WOW!
A couple of weeks ago, Sony made a pretty significant announcement. They had partnered up with some pretty major IPTV providers, allowing their customers to log into a range of services and view video from around the internet. This is a move that has been coming for some time, one which marks the beginning of a transition to an era of TV on demand, sourced directly from the internet. The press release stated:
“The future for television changed today with Sony Australia unveiling its 2010 BRAVIA range featuring the company’s first internet-enabled TVs. The BRAVIA Internet Video service signals a new era of home entertainment, with new internet channels to enjoy straight out of the box. As part of its launch, Sony Australia announced 15 channels that will be made available through its service, including catch-up TV and made-for-the-internet content.
