Telstra Bigpond announces deal with Fox Studios = Win for Samsung TV Customers

Myles Abbott — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 05:41:05 +0000

Telstra has announced that they have struck up a content deal with Rupert Murdoch owned Twentieth Century Fox Studio, which will see its IPTV service grow to 2500 movies before the end of the year.

This is a fantastic boost for all Australian consumers, for years we have been lagging far behind America and Europe in terms of Video on Demand content that is available through either our TV’s, Media Players or Computers, leading to Australia having the one of the highest rates of Piracy (Not the swashbuckling bearded kind). This means consumers will now be able to watch new release movies on their devices sooner then they ever have before.

Titles that will be available on Bigpond’s Movie service will include Black Swan and Gulliver’s Travels. Whilst there will be a large selection of older content such as the popular Devil Wears Prada (For the women) and X-Men Trilogy (For the men) amongst many others.

Another bonus is that both Movies and Television shows will be unmetered for Telstra customers, in layman’s terms this means that when you watch/download these movies it wont eat into your internet limit if you are on Telstra. Considering that movies are large files this is something which is very handy.

What we at ELJO.com.au are most excited about is that the Bigpond Movie service is available on Samsungs 2011 range of Smart TV’s, which means you don’t need any additional hardware to access it. Considering we believe that Samsung’s 2011 range are some of the best LED, Plasma and LCD TV’s on the market this is just an added bonus.

What do you guys think about Bigpond Movies on Samsung’s new Smart Hub? We’d love to hear from our customers who use this functionality.

Samsung’s Pinpoint Dimming… What Is It?

Myles Abbott — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:01:26 +0000

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.

For those techies among you, the way the technology achieves this is by placing additional LEDs at carefully selected intersections within the diffuser mesh that lies behind the panel (to transmit light from the edge-mounted LEDs across the panel), enabling more precise control of light levels across the screen and thus, better contrast ratio performance.

So not only will the TV be edge-lit, but it seems there are extra LEDs positioned in behind the panel which increase the overall performance of the Television set. This, coupled with the 3D technology, access to various internet services and a schmick looking brushed metal frame, makes the new Samsung Series 8 LED TV the most advanced to hit the market yet.
