Universal Black Glass Stand for LCD TV up to 40″Design ensures a very stable and rigid structure, which contributes to performance of both visual and audio products. The top profiles are UV bonded on the underside of the glass giving a smooth top glass surface.
The global economic downturn and rising Yen have claimed another victim: the LCD partnership between Sony and Sharp. The joint venture to make and sell large LCD panels has now been pushed to March 2010 — the same date that Sharp’s new LCD factory in Sakai is still scheduled to open. So one way or another you’ll be able to snag the next generation Sharp- or Sony-branded LCD television assuming, a) the companies survive, and b) you still have a job. What, too pessimistic?

Philips’ groundbreaking Cinema 21:9 HDTV looked so curious when it launched a fortnight ago that we actually questioned its authenticity. Clearly, this beauty is for real. Pocket-lint was lucky enough to be on-hand for its unveiling in London, and it hosted up a nice video showing off the 56-inch beast in action. The black bars you’ve grown used to detesting were indeed gone, and while Philips wouldn’t dole out any hard specifications, we are told that it boasts five HDMI sockets, a Spring release date and an estimated £3,000 ($4,276) price tag. Vid’s after the break, per usual.

Panasonic TC-32LX85 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV-The Best Way to Watch Movies at Home
Coming from a company known more for its plasma HDTVs, the Panasonic TC-32LX85 is a pleasant surprise in the 32-inch LCD category. Attractively designed and well appointed with generous connectivity, it is also a good performer overall, although by no means perfect. I was particularly impressed with the set’s color accuracy, which is something I really don’t expect from entry-level displays. Compared with the competition, the LC-32LX85 represents a compelling value in small LCD screens when you consider its performance characteristics.
Technical Details
* 1366 x 768 Resolution
* 10000:1 Contrast Ratio
* 178 Degrees Viewing angle for maximum viewing capacity
* Viera LinK HDAVI Control lets you operate all of your home theater components by pressing a single button on your TV’s remote control
* Inputs include: 3 HDMI (1 side), 2 Composite video 1 S Video, 2 Audio inputs (for video), 1 Component . SD Memory card slot (SDHC compatible).
Design
Basic in its design, but simultaneously elegant looking, the TC-35LX85 has a glossy black finish, with a 3′ wide bezel surrounding the screen on all sides. It is a small and unobtrusive television that will fit into just about any decor nicely. Side panel AV inputs are neatly tucked away behind the right side of the screen.
The remote control is identical to Panasonic’s current plasma line of HDTVs, with an excellent ergonomic design. It is on the large side, but slender enough to fit in the hand comfortably. Unfortunately, the remote is not backlit. The internal menu graphical user interface is also quite simple and intuitive to use and navigate.
Features
The Panasonic TC-32LCX85’s offers a fairly comprehensive feature package for an entry-level 32-inch LCD TV. Its native resolution is 1366×768, or around 720p, whereas many higher-end models have a 1080p native resolution. At this screen size, however, the benefits of 1080p resolution are nearly impossible to discern with moving video, whether standard- or high-definition. If you plan on regularly using your 32-inch LCD TV as a computer monitor, however, you might want to consider a 1080p model.

Vizio is definitely known as a second-rate HDTV manufacturer, but the company has worked hard to incorporate some high-end features in their XVT series while at the same time keeping prices low. CNET has put their 47-inch LCD model, SV470XVT, through the ringer and surprisingly it performs right up there with big boys in some areas of performance. Not only does the SV470XVT feature 120 Hz processing, but its color reproduction is excellent and the user interface is attractive and easy to use. It’s no surprise that its black levels aren’t quite as dark as models from Sony and Samsung, but overall it’s the best performing Vizio model so far.
