Just wanted to let all members and visitors know that I can pre-resister anyone for free all access pass and badge to attend CE Week NYC. CE Week is a trade convention, but I have permission to register a/v enthusiasts.

Pre-registration ends Monday, June 20th so email me ASAP if you would like to attend CE Week and participate in our 2016 TTV Shootout evaluation event.

I heard the news of the vizio R series being added, which is great. With this model be hdr10 ready specifically for the shootout?

[Robert Zohn]

Yes, I was able to procure Vizio's R65-B2. I do not expect it to be HDR10, but won't know for sure until tomorrow.

[Robert Zohn]

Sorry to post this so late, but here's the link to our live webcast.

Tune in to watch the 2016 TV Shootout.

I see you had a Pioneer Elite in the shootout...Great!!!!

What model was it...and is it for sale!!!!!!!

[vinnie97]

Robert, congrats on getting through another nail-biter (). Is this the 12th or 13th anniversary of the VE shootout? In the PR for the event, it was said the first one was conducted in 2004, which would make this year 12. Can you clarify that for me?

[Robert Zohn]

It's our 12th consecutive year. My mistake on writing up the original press release. Here's our latest press release with the final results of the attendees voting.

My personal Kuro that made a cameo appearance is the KRP-500M.

We had a blast hosting this year's TV evaluation event!

[punisher]

as expected the LG OLED annihilated the competition. It's not without faults but there isn't an LCD LED tv out there that comes close. I wish the Kuro would have been eligible for voting just to see how the attendees felt it held up 7 years after it's release....

Nice job Robert!!!

Check out our home page photo album of our 2016 TV Shootout event. Also linked is our press release with the results.

Thanks Robert for the event and all the work you put into it. It was very entertaining and the presentations on HDR and WCG were very informative.

A wide spread in results between the top 3 finishers, the exact opposite of last year when they were all close!

It is disappointing that OLED displays and LCD displays still have to use frame interpolation in order to perform close to the motion quality of a plasma display. The ideal flat panel display should operate like a DLP projector or plasma display which uses a natural repeating frame rate method without the need for frame interpolation.



Some high-end DLP projectors operate at native 24fps without any motion or flicker problems. Plasma displays and all other flat panel displays need to use 72Hz and higher multiplies of 24fps in order to be flicker free.

Some interesting quotes from the Sound and Vision article

“Although all the contenders were Ultra HDTVs, a last-generation 1080p Pioneer Kuro plasma was also on display as a reference. All the sets were calibrated for both day and night viewing.”



“Not surprisingly, none of the sets, save the old plasma, performed particularly well with moving-image torture clips in the absence of their frame interpolation circuits being flipped on.”

Robert, can you explain why the kuro looks like it has the color turned down and washed out?

http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/sh...-ce-week/33016

Is that really how it looked in person or are the HDR TV's washing it out on our SDR monitors? Like i get that HDR and WCG have more saturated colors, but BT709 wouldn't look that dull in comparison. I actually recently watched Kingsman and i can't say i agee with those pictures. It looked as colorful as the other TV's.


By the way, when are you going to put this up on Youtube?




EDIT- Seems you were using a HDR P3 video source? Why not use bluray for the kuro?
