For
the second year running in this down economy, attendance was way down at the
annual CEDIA (Custom Electronics Design and Installation Association) Expo. According
to Cedia’s numbers, just over 20,000 trade people were in attendance this year,
which is down from a high of well over 30,000 attendees in 2007. However, some
are of the opinion that the quality of both the exhibitors and attendees was
high; the wheat being separated from the chafe, so to speak.
The
annual CEDIA (Custom Electronics Design and Installation Association) Expo is
taking place this week from Thursday Sept 23 through Sunday September 26 in
Atlanta, Georgia. The show has been taking place every year since its very
first show on Amelia, Island, Florida in 1990, and this year, CEDIA celebrates
its 20th Anniversary.
For the third year running, TweakTV has supported Value Electronics, whom we thank for this opportunity, in their annual flat panel shootout. This year we calibrated, measured, and tabulated data on six of the industry’s leading Flat panel TVs: Two of the top plasma panels, the Samsung PN58C8000, and the Panasonic TC-P58VT25, and four of the top LCD panels, the Samsung UN55C8000 3D Edge lit LED backlit LCD, LG 55LX9500 3D Direct array LED backlit LCD, the Sharp LC-60LE925UN 3D Edge lit LED backlit LCD, and the Sony KDL-55NX810 3D Edge lit LED backlit LCD.
For our third year, TweakTV has partnered up with Value Electronics, a leading retailer for the highest end in video/audio equipment for the annual HDTV shoot out. Our own Kevin Miller , Co-Founder of TweakTV was there to calibrate and analyze all of the HDTVs to see who is this years top performer. With Pioneer (KRP-500M pictured) out of the mix, who is going to take the top crown this year? Much more to come in the coming hours.
Panasonics flagship 3D plasma is expected to make a big splash across
the world. Attached are the suggested settings off of a professional
