47" 1440p x 2560 LCD to ship in 2007 w HDMI 1.3 - Blu-ray Forum

Looks perfect EXCEPT FOR....

-1,500:1 contrast ratio

Umm....Sony BRAVIA units have 1300:1 minimum CR while Sony SXRD sets have AT LEAST 5000:1 for contrast ratio and up to 10,000:1 as dynamic contrast (15000:1 CR for the European version models).

I do hope that's just native CR (or just the minimum)

Also...
-6.5 ms response time.

That's just sucky. If this is a next-gen display, why the hell is it so slow?!?!?
Current LCD TVs have 8 ms with SXRD having around 2.5 ms.

Heck, even Sharp's upcoming AQUOS line has 4 ms already. Even so, they've already had 6.0 ms since their 7G models. Pioneer plasma TVs now have less than 1 ms response time.

and finally...

-CMO

WHO THE HELL IS CMO?!?!?

Seriously, except for promised 1440p resolutions, HDMI 1.3 support and higher color gamut/color range, this thing is FAR from next-gen.

Remember, the ultimate objectives/goals FOR ANY flat-panel TV is to:

1) Get the contrast ratio as high as it can (probably exceed the 10000:1 barrier)
2) Improve the response times to LESS THAN 1 ms.
3) Lessen the power consumption to below 200w (under AC 100-240V 50/60hz mode)

I was hoping this would break through the 8 ms barrier and it did. But it's still not enough. Current Sharp Aquos with a WXGA panel (1366x768) is .5 ms faster than that thing.

This is quite sad that the PERFECT tv for me won't appear till like after 2010 (starts in 2011-2012). And this TV is not perfect and ever far from awesome. I'd say that for LCD TVs for 2007-2008, you'd want to at least get 4ms or faster. That panel above fails to do that.

/rant over

If you ask me though, it looks like OLED will be the true successor to LCD and Plasma and once they improve the Blue OLED bulb to at least 60k lifespan, OLED TV tech for HDTV application will be UNSTOPPABLE.

As for SED, they would need a company other than Toshiba. A Toshiba-run circus would only perform satisfactory and not maximize the technological R&D. Also, they've had "lower than satisfactory" marks in their quality and finish. (ie. REGZA line).

If they don't get anyone other than Toshiba onboard, then my money goes to OLED technology.

OLED FTW!
