It is also possible to retrofit the older Android UHDTVs and boxes with AV1 decoding via a software update, as there are open-source decoders developed specifically with that in mind. Google has their own for the Android/Chrome OS.

HISENSE FORMALLY ANNOUNCES TRICHROMA LASER PROJECTOR PLANS

Hisense announced at its virtual CES press conference Monday the launch of its “TriChroma” Laser TV lineup, consisting of short-throw DLP-based front projectors based on red, green and blue laser light engines that it had shown in the past as some of the first displays capable of presenting more than 100% of the BT2020 color gamut.

Hisense demonstrated prototypes of DLP projectors using TriChroma laser lighting at CES over the past couple of years, but has yet to deliver one to the consumer market. The technology is touted as offering some of the widest color gamut coverage of any consumer-oriented display technology, offering the potential for the most natural and accurate performance levels.

I prefer the old style or long throw projectors but ... hopefully this new stuff is good.

@DDH, your chart left out LG's new A1 series OLED TVs. The A1 series is LG's new 2021 entry level OLED TV that supports 4K @ 60Hz and will have the same video processor used in the B1, the a7 Gen 4.

The new A1 Series will be available in 48", 55", 65"and 77" screen sizes.

CES: China’s TCL to Launch More Affordable 8K Televisions

Next-generation 8K high-definition televisions have been around for a while, typically priced out of reach of a consumer indifferent to a marginally (compared with 4K UHD) improved display screen in a market with scant 8K content (movies an TV shows) available.

China’s TCL is looking to change consumers’ attitudes to 8K with an upcoming slate of 6-series Roku televisions (reportedly priced less than $2,000) with big screens, improved operating system, LED-backlit and AiPQ advanced picture engine, among other features.

TCL is also bowing a series of 85-inch televisions in 4K UHD with Roku model, a more expensive QLED unit, and 8K model with OD Zero Mini-LED lighting.

Sorry Robert the article was updated long after.

The Sony sets having AV1 for streaming and not USB file playback is just weird. I can only speculate that their video playback software used in their sets has not been updated to use the AV1 decoder implementation they have decided to use. A third-party player like VLC can certainly do it, so I'm curious to know why Sony hasn't.

Samsung's "Neo QLED" LCD TVs to cost slightly more than the 2020 models

I'm rooting for Samsung to pull this off, but realistically I don't have high hopes.

Lots of people are taking for granted that Samsung's Neo QLEDs will be the best LCDs of the year, but we've already seen from TCL's attempts that just mini-LED alone doesn't make a TV great, or solve issues like blooming that people were expecting. You need a good local dimming algorithm behind all those zones to make them count.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony's FALD LCDs still outperform all the competition this year, even without mini-LED. Time will tell!

The qualty of the processing is still soooooooooooo much more important than people think it is.

[Fendergopher]

Samsung's disregard for accuracy is enough to turn me off their TVs. It's really a shame considering they often have some of the most powerful hardware solutions out there.

Absotruthly, which is the point Sony are always making.

I remember Vincent did a video where he compared the gaming performance of the LG CX, Sony X900H and Samsung Q90T, all in 55". Samsung damn near deactivate local dimming in game mode, whereas Sony are much better at preserving it. And it was funny how, even just from the video, you could easily tell how much better the X900H performed in terms of contrast and blooming control - and it has around 1/4th the number of zones as the Q90T!

Of course the physical number of zones still matters too, and there comes a point when a TV like the X900H with its 32 zones can only do so much, but it goes to show how important the processing is as well. The real magic happens when you pair a larger number of zones with a great local dimming algorithm.

I watched some stuff on a neighbours Samsung once. It's like Samsungs have a warm 11 setting.

Also good to see Mecha posting. Was feeling a lot less Mecha round here.

[Farerb]

I have a LED TV from Samsung and I didn't notice anything unusual. Can anyone explain to me what's wrong with their TVs?

I was getting repaired, I have now been reactivated.
