An expensive LED

[JimShaw]

I just viewed an amazing HDTV, edge lit LED, expensive. Has anyone here ever looked into it?

I read the review for it, in this months issue of Home Theater Magazine.
Price( 55" )=$5999

"I can't quite recommend the Nu Vision NVU55FX5LS. Why? Primarily, because of its uneven side lighting. You may not notice this in a well-lit room, with the brightness setting at the too-high factory level, or on most program material even when the room is dark. But that's beside the point. I've seen this problem on other edge-lit sets, but I forgave it to a degree there-because those sets were far less expensive.

That brings up value. The NVU55FX5LS's price will induce sticker shock in today's market. That's fine if we're talking state of the art, or nearly so, in all areas. The Nu Vision comes surprisingly close in its color and subjective resolution, but that uneven screen illumination is a deal breaker.

Etc..., The heart of a winner is here, but the limbs-mainly that pesky screen illumination issue-still need work.

$6,000.00 NuVision vs a Samsung 55B8000 at $2,500.00 not too much of a contest. Maybe a Samsung C8000 3D ready for possibly around $4,000??? Still not a contest.

At those prices I hope NuVision stays in business.
