Here they are. The ones you have all been waiting for. Few TVs are in higher demand than the Samsung C7000 series. Here at TweakTV, we have the exclusive suggested settings based off of a professional calibration for your own personal use. Remember, nothing beats a personal in home professional calibration, but these settings are a great starting point. Be sure to tell us what you think.
Pros: Good
blacks, and much more light output capability than on the earlier G10, G15, and
V10 series panels.
Cons: No
motion smoothing processing for 1080p/24fps Blu-ray, and not 3D capable.
To Buy or Not To Buy: Excellent value for the money. Very good performance
coupled with excellent connectivity, and a good feature package. Highly
recommended!
Mitsubishi has just recently launched their second generation LaserVue laser based DLP HDTV in May of this year. The first generation LaserVue, the L65A90, a 65-inch rear projection DLP HDTV was launched in the fall of 2008. The new L75A91 sports a 10 inch larger screen area as well as improved picture quality and performance at a significantly lower MSRP. It also adds a new Picture Mode called Cinema Color, developed by Mitsubishi in conjunction with Hollywood coloring specialists to approximate the wider color space of film versus the Rec 709 standard for HD video sources.
Pros: At about $2,500, the
PN58C7000 is a
relatively good value in big screen plasmas. Good feature set with very
good
connectivity. 3D ready.
Cons : Blacks are not as
good as the best
Panasonics (Especially the VT25 series). Color decoding continues to
push red
slightly rendering skin tones too pink.
To Buy Or Not To Buy? A good
performer overall
with slightly better blacks than last year’s flagship models the PN860
series.
While not quite as good as Panasonic’s best THX certified models, the
PN58C7000
is a credible performer. Recommended.
I was surprised to find that Samsung decided not to make any direct array LED backlit LED LCD panels for 2010. Coming on the heals of the excellent UN55B8500 and UN46B8500, which were widely regarded as perhaps the best direct type LED panels ever made, abandoning this path was a strange decision. Instead, the company has opted to go solely with Edge lit models for 2010.
