Vizio 32 Inch LCD TV VU32L Review

The Vizio 32 inch lcd tv VU32L is a 720p widescreen HDTV ready television with 1080i capability.

The native resolution of this flat panel TV is 1366 x 768. Don't be disturbed that it is lacking the full high definition resolution of 1080p - on a TV of this size that resolution would be wasted, so Vizio has done consumers a favor by foregoing marketing hype in favor of providing sheer value for money.

The specifications of the VU32L are quite impressive and include:

- 1366 x 768 native resolution
- 1080i capable
- 12ms response time
- 500 cd/m2 brightness
- 800:1 contrast ratio
- Lamp life of 50,000 hours
- Uses 60% less power than a conventional TV of the same size

What is lamp life?
The lamp life is the time span a TV will be able to display a picture before a half level of brightness is reached. In the case of the VU32L, it is rated at 50,000 which on average is equivalent to abo8ut 20 years of usage (more than just about anyone keeps a TV for). If you use your TV for less than 6 hours per day then you can expect an even greater lamp life.

Pros
There are so many good things about this TV. You will find that images are very sharp and crisp, with deep colors. The 3:2 pulldown feature comes in handy as well. The TV works well in brightly lit rooms.

Cons
Connectors are only located at the rear which could be a pain for some people.

You can currently buy the Vizio 32 inch lcd tv VU32L for around $500 (less if you really shop around). It is a TV that will suit small living spaces like bedrooms, condos and dorm rooms.

If you aren't sure whether a 32" TV is right for you, you can click the link below to find out how to get a massive 50" plasma TV from Vizio without paying a cent.

Samsung LN40A550 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV - A Quick Review

LCD Televisions are all the rage nowadays due to its strategic pricing and amazing image quality. Compared to Plasma TVs, LCDs produce better images under ambient lighting. Samsung has in recent years established itself as the King of LCD HDTVs. In the United States, it is estimated that this company has over 70% of the market share when it comes to LCD televisions. Here is a quick review of one of its most popular LCD models, the Samsung LN40A550 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.

The Samsung LN40A550 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV has a improved 30'000:1 contrast ratio, which is pretty high for a lcd tv. It has a wide 178-degree viewing angle and comes with hidden speakers. The hidden speakers produces amazing audio quality through the SRS TruSurround technology. The power of the hidden speakers is best experienced through a Blu-ray player or a DVD player that uses a HDMI cable.

It is pretty easy to hook up the Samsung LN40A550 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with almost any type of electrical appliances imaginable. It comes with 3 HDMI ports as well as a handy USB 2.0 port to connect to your camera or mp3 player. It also has a VGA input to connect to any laptop or computers.

The images produced are just astounding. They were crisp and clear even in a bright room. I have several windows in my living room but there were no traces of any light reflection on the screen even in the bright afternoon light. It also has a new improved, 5ms response time (an upgrade from the previous 8ms on older models). The remote and menu interface are extremely user friendly and easy to use.

Review - Slumdog Millionaire

The general consensus is that Englishman Danny Boyle's (Trainspotting, Millions) venture into Bollywood results in a stirring tale of adventure, romance, and redemption. These themes are indisputably present, but represent only the base by which a much more profound and compelling story is told.

Slumdog Millionaire, Boyle's eighth feature film, delves deep into pressing modern issues like globalization, social partition, child labor, police brutality, entitlement, and cultural and religious discord-into territory far beyond the aforementioned themes. It's been widely described as a simplistic but well-crafted, "feel-good movie." This kind of pedestrian summation is an insult to criticism. On the contrary, the intensely serious themes of this film present many decidedly feel-bad moments for which the rest of the film struggles to compensate. But compensate it does.

Most audiences will likely be taken aback by the first few scenes which graphically depict our 18-year old protagonist, Jamal Malik (Dev Patel), being subjected to excruciating torture. Jamal is is a "slum dog"-a throwaway product of the dark underbelly of Mumbai, destitute in every conceivable sense of the word. Somehow, this inconsequential proletariat manages to land a spot on the Hindi version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?," and tears through the questions making it further than anyone dreamed he could. In utter disbelief of Jamal's unlikely success the host, played brilliantly by Anil Kapoor, has him arrested and tortured on suspicions of cheating.

The keys to Jamal's success are revealed through a series of flashbacks to various times in his childhood which occupy the bulk of the film. These sequences magnificently and powerfully chronicle the gut-wrenching story of a very adult life led by a very young child.

Boyle deliberately juxtaposes completely disparate scenes depicting pure, unabashed joy one moment and hellish, unspeakable horror the next. The ungodly squalor, greed, hate, and abuse act as foils to the many gems throughout the picture.

Much credit must go to cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle who's glittering, often-frenetic work behind the camera presents us with a realistic, sometimes troubling, but always gorgeous view of one of the most culturally rich and diverse places on earth.

As the story unfolds, it's quite obvious how things are going to end. The film's predictability, however, is one of its assets allowing us to absorb the true themes of the picture rather than being bogged down by unnecessary plot twists or gimmicks. The familiar formula settles into a supporting role while the director's poignant message of outrage, desperation, warning, caution and hope takes main stage.

Slumdog Millionaire is not simply a feel-good movie. It's better than that. We feel good only after we offer our sincerest humanity. And even then, we're never allowed to forget those crushing moments that didn't feel so good.

The Sony KDL 32P3020 Review

So you want to upgrade your television but don't want to spend a fortune doing it? The Sony KDL-32P3020 lcd tv maybe the right one for you. This new 32 inch model from Sony has hit the shelves running so we thought we'd give you a full review before you go spending your hard earned cash.

This 32 inch set is a HD ready LCD television. It has an Integrated Digital Tuner and Freeview which why when after you finish the THX set-up and doing the expected picture setting tweaking the picture quality is great. As for the digital quality of the Sony's tuners, the colours come in natural and well balanced, mostly digital noise free. This due to the combining the Bravia Engine and the WCG-CCFL backlight technology that involves a different type of luminescence producing a more accurate reds and greens, achieves about 95% of the National Television System Committee's video signal requirements. Producing a 140% improvement on lcd tvs that features traditional fluorescent backlights.

So when switching from HD content to a Blu-ray disc the picture has very realistic skin tones with accurate black levels producing a picture that had extremely sharp detail and sound. This particular Sony displays such a well-rounded picture that it looks almost three-dimensional. So much so that movies on DVD look just as good as a Blu-Ray. The scenes in the movies come across smoothly with little jitter even in fast moving wide panning shots. As LCD televisions go, it is relatively lightweight at 15kg with the dimensions of 58x79x21. The resolution is 1366 x 768, contrast ratio is 1800:1 and the brightness is 450cd/m2.

It boosts these other features BRAVIA Image Processing Engine with BRAVIA Theatre Sync (Sony's name for the CEC-Consumer Electronic Control). That is that it is a control standard over these sockets, 2 HDMI inputs instead of three (unlike the Sony 32S3000), 2 SCART with component video, a composite video, and a PC input. Giving you the one touch control over devices that are compatible with the television like a DVD player means that if you turn on the DVD player your Sony KDL 32P3020 lcd tv will turn on as well.

It is capable of being hung on the wall as well as being on a stand the only problem being is that it cannot be turned on it's original base. So what else comes with it? Things that are included with the set:

Moster video 2 SCART-SCART Cables-1m and a 2m

Samsung UE65C8000 Review

One of the newest models from Samsung, the Samsung UE65C8000 is really one of the most impressive flat screens out there right now.

So how does it measure up? Well simply put, it's really just one of the best all around flat screens -a s weel as very big!. With its plasma LCD screen, it really does look quite good. Really, if you haven't watched television on a nice, big HDTV yet, you'll really be knocked flat out by what it's really capable of. Try watching something with a lot of color, something like Rio Bravo or anything else filmed in Technicolor, and you'll definitely be seeing things in a new way.

The colors are surprisingly bold, strong and beautiful, the blacks are deep and rich, they're "real" black, not a dark gray half tone. If you're still wondering whether or not to bother upgrading from your old standard definition set, then do yourself a favor and pay a visit to a friend with a high def television set. Watch something on the Samsung UE65C8000, and you'll likely be converted by the end of the show.

The Samsung UE65C8000 set comes with all of the features you expect from a modern high def television set, of course, including HDMI compatibility and a USB port. With HDMI, you can plug your Blu Ray player, your Xbox or your PlayStation into the set and get the full quality picture. With HDMI, you're always getting the very best, most high quality image available.

HDMI is plug and play. In the past, you'd need all kinds of special converters and so on to use HDMI sources on your television set, but now, HDMI comes standard, so you can just plug anything you want to plug into it right into it, and you're good to go. Of course, this is just standard in modern high def television sets, but it's always welcome.

Of course the really great thing about HDMI is that you can plug the Samsung UE65C8000 right into your PC. This means that you can take that old laptop or Mac you have in your closet and actually make it useful once more. You can just plug it right in and use it as your all purpose entertainment center, so you can stream your iTunes or your Netflix directly into your new HDTV.

The USB comes in handy as well, of course. You can use the Samsung UE65C8000 HDTV as your display for photos from your camera, or plug your MP3 player into it and use your surround sound as a stereo system, so compatibility isn't an issue.

The conclusion of this review of the Samsung UE65C8000 is this: It's really just a very good flat screen television set. It's high def with great, crisp picture and sound, and it has full compatibility with HDMI as well as with USB. It's not too pricey, either, and it's just right, in terms of size, for just about any room in your house. If you've been wanting to make the upgrade to HD, you can't do much better.

Panasonic DMP-BDT350 Blu-Ray Player Review

The new DMP-BDT350 Blu-ray Player from Panasonic is a unique player. Not just because it is one of only a few that can playback Full HD 3D Blu-ray Discs, but it has 2 HDMI Outputs. It has other great features like access to VieraCast, Wi-Fi- Ready, a 14 second boot up time and support for DLNA.

The DMP-BDT350, similar to other Panasonic Players, has a slim design. And like other Panasonic Blu-ray Players, they have put an emphasis on lowering power consumption. The player comes with a Power Save Mode where it will shut itself on/off depending on the TV status. Further helping to provide a low power consumption is the UniPhier® single chip LSI. Which can put a whole video signal processing circuit onto one chip. This decreases the amount of parts required and makes for a compact design. Panasonic has even reduced the depth of its players by 18%. By doing this it has resulted in a 15% reduction in the carton's volume.

Video Quality: The DMP-BDT350 can produce 1080/24p video output. It recreates cinema pictures from the Blu-ray Discs or DVD in their original 24p form, without any requirement for conversion. Proving cinema images in the exactly same format used in the film industry. The TV must be a 1080/24p compatible. It can up-convert content that is 480i/p or 720p to High Definition 1080p. The video connections for the DMP-BDT350 are the two HDMI outputs and Component Video Outputs, all of which are located on the back of the player.

The DMP-BDT350 includes PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus. This high quality image processing technology processes each pixel produced by the Blu-ray Disc video signal in the vertical direction. Keeping film colors original, clear and crisp. It reproduces colors with twice the accuracy of normal systems.

Audio Quality: Beside the HDMI Outputs, there are Digital Optical outputs and Analog AV Multi Outputs. It has internal audio decoding for Linear PCM, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS. Along with High Resolution Audio the DMP-BDT350 has 96kHz surround re-master. This is a function which improves the sound quality of CDs and other audio sources. It also helps the quality of the multi-channel sound found on Blu-ray and DVD discs.

The big feature of the DMP-BDT350 is its Full HD 3D playback capability. To watch 3D Blu-ray discs you do need to connect the player up to a 3DTV and use 3D glasses. A pair of glasses is needed for every person. Usually a set of glasses will be included along with the 3DTV. Other pairs will have to be purchased separately. It is recommended that the glasses you purchase be of the same manufacture as the 3DTV. The Panasonic DMP-BDT350, however, can be connected to any manufacturer's 3DTV.

As stated before, the DMP-BDT350 has dual HDMI Outputs. It has the 1.3 version HDMI(MAIN) as well as the newer version 1.4 HDMI(SUB). The reasoning behind these dual Outputs is to allow the DMP-BDT350 to easily integrate with older/existing AV receivers that do not have the new 1.4 HDMI. The MAIN or 1.4 HDMI will be for 3D video and be attached to your 3DTV. The SUB or 1.3 HDMI will be for HD Audio and be connected to your existing 1.3 receiver. Obviously this setup is designed to make 3D viewing easier and integrate it with your existing equipment. The DMP-BDT plays regular 2D Blu-ray disc and would require the regular video setup with just one HDMI connection.

Online Streaming Media Services are available through Panasoinc's VieraCast. Here you can access services such as Amazon Video on Demand, YouTube, Picasa Web Album, Bloomberg and a Weather Channel. The recent additions of Netflix, Pandora, Twitter and Fox Sports to VIERA CAST has greatly increased its worth. It now provides you with top notch movie, music, sports and information sites. You can also take advantage of BD-Live downloadable content on Blu-ray Disc as well as the Bonus view feature. Connection to the internet can be by the Ethernet Port or you can connect a Wireless LAN Adapter to the USB port.

USB Port, along with the SD Card Slot is another way you can enjoy movies or music. Located in the front you can play files like JPEG photos, MP3s, and DivX High Definition videos. Panasonic is stating the DMP-BDT350 has a 14 boot up speed. Allowing you to start enjoying your 3D Blu-ray Player right away.

THE PROS: The Panasonic DMP-BDT350 Blu-ray Player has Full HD 3D capability. It has Viera Cast and BD-Live. 7.1ch audio decoders for Dolby True HD, DTS HD. An SD Card Slot for AVCH HD video, a USB Port and two HDMI Outputs. It is also Wi-Fi 'Ready'.

THE CONS: Still not sure if it will have any internal memory or if a USB wireless adapter will be included or if you have to purchased separately.

THE FINAL WORD: The Panasonic DMP-BDT350 comes with a wide range of great features, including Full HD 3D technology. It has Online Streaming Media Services like Netflix, Amazon Video on Demand, YouTube, Picasa Web Album, Bloomberg, Weather Channel, Pandora, Twitter and Fox Sports. It is Wi-Fi 'Ready' and has two HDMI Outputs (versions 1.3 and 1.4) The DMP-BDT350 is sizing up to be a contender for best the Blu-ray Player coming out in 2010. -- Price you should look for when purchasing -- Under $425.00

Tilt wall mount: With models available for a price as low as $40, the tilting models permit the vertical adjustments to an angle of five degrees up and fifteen degrees down for better images. This feature comes in handy while protecting the screen from glares.

Full motion wall mount: Expensive of the lot, the full motion wall mounts allow the horizontal tilting of the screen giving a better option for the rearrangement of the seating pattern. With the length of the arms of the brackets stretchable to 20 inches, it has the advantage of wider viewing angles.

Sony KDL40EX403 Review

This is a review of the Sony KDL40EX403 - a lcd tv that is one of Sony's line of Bravia televisions. The EX403 is one of a series of improved-over-last-year liquid crystal display televisions, all of which have been upgraded from their 2009 predecessors. And even though it's rated as a so-called entry-level lcd tv, Sony's made sure to pack it full of useful functions and features at a good price, by the way.

Sony has actually priced the TV to be very competitive, with many online retailers able to sell the unit at around 675 British pounds, with the value added tax included. The Sony KDL40EX403 offers full high definition in 1920 by 1080p, meaning that it's really and truly high definition and not just "high definition ready." It's also able to display in 720p and lower, all the way down to standard definition range.

Sony has also included its Freeview tuning filter, which has been upgraded to HD. With Freeview HD, a viewer will be able to access a wide range of UK-specific satellite channels in high definition on the Sony KDL40EX403, which is an improvement over 2009 models, which either didn't feature the tuning filter at all or featured it in only non-HD configurations.

The standard motion control engine included in almost all value-priced Sony Bravias is the Bravia Engine 3, which is a very capable processor. It helps to smooth out extreme motion and fast moving imagery such that there's little or no evidence of any artifacts or blurring, no matter how quickly an object passes by on the screen. This gives the television a very nice display under almost all circumstances.

With a screen size of 40 inches, this Sony KDL40EX403 can do double-duty, serving as either the primary television for a small-to-medium-sized household or a very nice second television for use in a bedroom or den or study and the like. It comes close in a glossy piano black casing that looks extremely modern and very competent, sitting on its extremely functional and sleek stand.

The Sony KDL40EX403 also features four separate HDMI input ports and several other ports and connections that allow for the hooking up of any number of different electronic components, such as a stereo, home theater or DVR/DVD player. And with a thickness of only 33.3 mm, nobody would ever accuse the Sony of looking portly or in need of a quick weight loss diet, it must be said.

When it comes to picture and sound combined, Sony's included its well-known and well-regarded 24P True Cinema technology as well as a very nice 3D surround sound system that Sony calls S-Force. Even without being hooked up to a nice home theater system, those watching the television in a darkened room won't be able to help but remark favorably upon the picture and sound combination, in truth.

To conclude our mini review, the Sony KDL40EX403 lcd tv is a good looking 40-inch liquid crystal display television from one of the best manufacturers of consumer electronics in the world. It's value-priced at about 675 British pounds (including VAT) after voucher discounts, and it comes with all of Sony's Bravia-specific technology functions and features.

Funai T27004 27 Inch LCD TV Review

Brought to the market by Funai, a Japanese company, this 27 inch lcd tv has not gained much popularity for the mere fact that it is a Japanese product. People have the impression that most of the Japanese and Chinese products are not durable and that is why they are not so expensive. But let me assure you that the Funai T27004 27 inch lcd tv is a product that is not worthless to be bought as it provides you an array of cool features that makes the picture quality really good. This, not-so-stylish TV set can be bought at the average price of £700.

To be frank, you will be glad to own this TV set as it offers a 1280 X 720 resolution and has the provision of digital visual interface (DVI) input coupled with the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) compatibility that will no doubt provide you amazingly good picture quality. Besides these, there are many other cool features packaged in this TV set such as the 2 RGB Scarts which will enhance the analogue image quality. Also, the provision of the PC input that lets you use this TV set in the form of a computer monitor.

Though you may be frustrated by the lack of the built-in digital tuner feature, you will nevertheless be glad by component video connection and the picture-in-picture (PiP) facility that offers you the power to simultaneously watch the television broadcasts along with any other inputs. Similarly, this TV set also offers you an easy access to the on-screen menu setting. Furthermore the sad thing about this 27 inch lcd tv is that there is little motion blur and the provision of two speakers of 5W each that unfortunately makes the sound, even at a low volume, a little bumpy and distorted. All the same, this cheap TV set is a good product that provides better image quality, though there are a lot of features that has to be improved upon.
