Sony KDL-32EX703 LED TV Review

Sony is considered as one of the very few stalwarts when it comes to the electronic technology. Of all the electronic devices manufactured by Sony, its LCD TVs have gained the best compliments and have raised the sales of its TVs to the next level. Sony is also renowned for the best usage of the latest technology. The Bravia series LCD TVs has brought to Sony an unprecedented success and also has taken the television technology to a whole new other level. The EX 700 series is also the latest of all the Bravia LCD TVs and has got more features than any other TV from Sony. The KDL EX 703  is one of those TVs that have gained maximum attraction of late and therefore it has been decided that we try and give you all the details of this new range LCD TV from Sony. Let us start our safari and get into the details of the Sony KDL-32EX703 LCD TV.

Design:

Sleek and Attractive:
As always with Sony, the KDL-32EX703 LED TV has got a very sleek and attractive design. It also has got that trademark rectangular outer design of Sony, with sharp edges and glossy look. The Black colour is a pretty common thing that one would associate with most of the LCD TVs today. Speaking about statistics, the EX 703 measures about 811 x 539 x 250 mm and weighs about 12.7 kg. There is nothing more special regarding the design of this TV since Sony has been very simple and modest when it comes to the design of its televisions. All of its TVs are made with pretty much the same design and nothing too flashy is seen in any part of the TV.

Display:
The KDL-32EX703 comes with the LED backlight system, which is obviously the latest and also the best backlight system available. Although this is not a complete LED matrix behind the screen, which can be seen on some of the high end TVs from Samsung, it has still got something in it as there is this edge LED lighting system. This means that the LEDs are placed at the edges of the TV and this serves as the backlighting system for the TV. This system may not be as good as the complete matrix and there is a possibility for non uniform intensity of light across the screen and it also cannot produce the perfect blacks and whites over long usage. But since in this case it is Sony, it has taken the complete care required in order to make sure that any problem of that sorts is very least possible to occur. Coming to the size of the screen, it is a perfect 32 inch screen, which will be ideal for most of the living rooms and it serves as a mini theatre for your family.

Features:

Full HD 1080:
You will see this as one of the major features in most of the LCD TVS that are coming out these days. Hence, with this feature on your TV, from now onwards you do not need to miss a single thing that comes with the Full HD clarity and quality. This new feature allows you to watch the pictures, whether it is the smallest detail or is it the brightest colour you will find out that everything appears clearer and also the pictures look more lifelike than ever before on a LCD TV and this might well bring you an experience for your lifetime by giving you a wonderfully new and cherishing experience. Another thing with this Full HD feature is that with that many HD source options available to you from various sources like the HD broadcasting, the high definition pictures on your Blu-ray Disc players, videos from your HD Handy cam camcorders, still pictures from your HD Cyber-shot digital cameras, high definition latest gaming from your PLAYSTATION®3 or Xbox 360 gaming consoles. All these source options make life easier for you and hence with this, it is easier to enjoy high quality images, which are not that common by any means.

Motion Flow Engine:
Most of the LCD TVs today come with a processor or engine, which resembles the processor in your computer, and the main job of this engine, is to drive the pictures smoothly into one another in order to produce a smooth motion flow picture that gives a dynamic movie like experience. Like most other LCD TVs, the Sony KDL-32EX703 32? LED LCD TV also has the 100 Hz engine, which is a very good processor and is also the best functioning engine available in the market today. This makes the TV a very good player of the high end HD movies that you can play from your Blu Ray Discs. This very feature is also responsible for making the EX 703 a very good player of fast moving objects without producing any lag or drag and it can hence be used as a monitor for your gaming consoles. Action packed movies and games are played with a great frame rate that brings you the dynamic entertainment right in front of your eyes.

Ambient Sensor:
The Ambient Sensor is a wonderful utility that makes your TV play the pictures at a uniform brightness and intensity at all the conditions. There is this small light ambient sensor on the front panel that reads the light intensity inside the room in which the TV is situated. Depending on this value of intensity, the brightness and colour contrast of the pictures will automatically be adjusted so that the eyes of the viewers are not strained much and this will also give better visual experience almost all the time. Although the brightness and contrast of the pictures can be altered manually, this will still prove to be a very good feature.

WLAN:
With the unique WLAN or the Wi-Fi Ready feature introduced by Sony into the KDL32EX703 32-inch LCD TV, you can enjoy easy and convenient internet connections. This very new and also very useful feature from Sony allows you to utilise the BRAVIA Internet TV & Widgets features without the need of additional wires and hence allows you experience complete freedom from cumbersome wires and cables. Although you may feel that the wireless internet may not be as fast as required, but Sony has taken all the more care this time around so that the Bravia Internet @ TV is pretty fast. Therefore, you will find that the downloading of the videos and music files is very quick and there are also no reported problems regarding the connection during the tests that are conducted. Hence, this is another feather that adds to the beautiful cap of the EX 703.

Live Colour:
The Sony KDL-32EX703 Television is powered by a very powerful image processor that pretty much uses an algorithm which is specially designed and developed by Sony. This Live Colour feature has the very special ability to reproduce unbelievably vivid colours on your TV screen. With the help of the four user-adjustable settings that are available on the menu, you can simply choose how vivid your images should look on your TV screen, which is really a commendable effort put in by Sony. This Live Colour feature enables the TV to display almost all the colours that can be seen naturally with the naked eye and that too with very good precision of the intensity if that colour. Be it the brilliant blue sky or the very bright blood red rose, with the help of this new feature, every single object on the screen stands out so much more.

Performance:

Sony always lies at the top when it comes to the performance of its devices and that too especially its televisions. And the EX703 is not an exception as it has got a great deal of features that we have already seen above and moreover there is an intelligent use of all the latest technology available in the market today by Sony, which helped the EX 703 get the better of most of its competitors from the other stalwart television manufacturers. Let us look into the details regarding the performance of the Sony Bravia KDL EX 703 LCD TV.

Video Performance:
Looking at the display technology used in the EX 703, one can easily predict that the TV can be a great performer when it comes to the videos. Now, added to that, the automatic adjustment options that change the settings themselves according to the requirement and also the other features and picture options are a boon to the users of the Sony Bravia KDL-32EX703 they do not need to take care of the aforementioned tasks every time there is a change in the conditions. The Live Colour and the Bravia Engine along with the Motion flow processor give the pictures extra dynamics which makes the TV a very good player of movies, games, pictures or whatever. In addition to all of these, there are quite a few picture options that may match to the taste of almost everyone under the sun. The Ex 703 comes with a list that is never seen before. The list comprises Standard, Custom, Cinema, Sports, Photo-Vivid, Photo-Standard, Vivid, Photo-Original, Photo-Custom, Game-Standard, Game-Original and Graphics. Now, everything else looks quite good and normal as Sony has not done anything too flashy as it may lead to the risk of exaggeration.

Audio Performance:
While most of the slim LCD TVs are comparatively incapable of playing good audio, Sony has seen to it that the audio on the Bravia KDLEX703 is good enough in order to complement the very good pictures of the TV. The MPEG Noise Reduction is the new unique feature introduced by Sony, which is pretty famous for doing such things. This special effect feature reduces the noise levels based on two levels namely, SD and HD. This noise level reduction helps you a lot when it comes to lessening the noises and this is done on almost everything that is played on the TV, be it the movie from the Blu Ray Player or even be it a local cable network channel. The 2 x 10 W speakers are also integrated to produce better sounds and also to produce a dynamic three dimensional surround sound effect, which will prove to be great while watching action packed movies. Moreover, there are three surround modes namely, Dynamic, Standard, Clear Voice and four sound modes namely Cinema, Music, Live Sports and Game. Hence, your pictures will always be complemented very well by the very well improved audio system.

Connectivity:
One thing that will be remembered of the connectivity when it comes to the Bravia LCD televisions is the Bravia Sync. BRAVIA Sync is a very good feature introduced by Sony that will let you link all the compatible devices at your home, together with the EX 703 in order to complete a simple one-push start up or one push shutdown process. Along with this option, you are also allowed to operate all these devices by using just the BRAVIA remote control, which has in it all the control options required. There are also many terminal ports that only help in making the EX 703 a better TV, viz., HDMI™ / Audio In, Ethernet Connection, USB 2.0, Photo (JPEG, RAW), Music (MP3), Video (AVC, AVCHD, MPEG4, DivX), HD15 PC, Component / Audio In, Digital Audio Output(s), Audio Out, and Headphone Out. Hence, Bravia Sync makes entertainment easily achievable and it can well be said that connectivity has never been so easy before Bravia Sync.
Hence, the bottom line is that you cannot ask for more features and better performance and Sony has really proved its mettle by producing a great television like the EX 703.

Power Consumption:
The Sony Bravia KDL-32EX703 Full HD 1080P LCD TV is very impressive at its set of features, and in addition to that it is also an eco friendly TV. Since Sony had had an agreement to produce eco friendly and less polluting products, it has brought the EX 703 with LEDs as the backlights. This has made the power consumption very less and the TV consumes only about 91 W of power on an average and only about 0.2 W of standby by power consumption. This means that the TV is very eco friendly and also at the same time very ‘pocket’ friendly as it saves your money a lot in the long run.

Warranty:

Just like many other TVs in the market, the Sony Bravia KDL-32EX703 comes with a parts and labour warranty for a period of about twelve months from the original date of purchase.

Verdict:

All the points discussed above might have already revealed the opinion of ours regarding this TV. Everything regarding the EX 703, its design, features, technology used, performance, and all the sundry points that we have discussed right until now speak a lot. What we infer from that information is that the EX 703 is one of the best LCD TVs in the market, made no mistake, one of the best. Everything still comes to you at a very affordable rate. And now, it is on you whether or not to buy this great TV produced by Sony.

Samsung UE-C6000 Series LED TV Review

Being a part of the 2010 series, the C6000 series LED telly is one of the budget TVs from Samsung. With this series the manufacturer is looking to bring in some touch of premium style into the mid rage television market. It also proves that it has more to it than just a pretty face packing in LED edge lights, DLNA, 100/120 Hz along with some very interesting media streaming capabilities. Keep reading to discover more about this stunning LED television series.

Design:

Yet another beauty from Samsung:

Samsung has been blessed with something like what Midas was blessed with when it comes to designing stunning looking models, and the C6000 is not an exception and stresses the fact that the manufacturer has still got what it takes. It has a piano black finishing with some really translucent edge around its frame. It is this classy inch wide black frame with translucent trim that sets this model apart aesthetically from the crowd. There are some luxurious touch sensitive controls that are hidden below the fascia of the chassis which look every bit classy, thanks to the base’s brushed aluminium effect pedestal finishing that gives a completion to this contemporary look. The C6000 has models of screen sizes 32”, 37”, 40”, 46” and 55”.

Remote Control:

The remote control is not the most logically laid out but at least it feels nice and there’s no annoying lag between pressing a button and the execution of a command.

Slots and connectivity:

Samsung has not chosen to be skimpy with the connectivity options of the C6000 series and just a glance around its back will make you realise how well it has been specified. You will find four of the all important HDMI ports, that is mounted in a row in the left hand side of the display. It also offers a set of component inputs, a mini RGB input to be used with the SCART adaptor that comes with the package and a VGA connector too. You have the option of feeding audio from the on-board Freeview HD tuner to an external audio system using the optical digital optical audio port. For the sake of media playback, Samsung has equipped the C6000 with a couple of USB ports, an Ethernet socket and a headphone jack too, which is often regarded as a bit of luxury now a days.

Set up and Interface:

Setting up of the C6000 LED Television is no big deal and is pretty straightforward. It is a breeze to tune in all of the channels including the high definition services from BBC, ITV and Channel 4 too. The reception is sound and rest assured that you will not experience any signal drop outs. The Electronic Programme Guide of Samsung is one of the best in the market and it obviously knocks spots off Panasonic. It is all bright, breezy and colourful and we love the video thumbnail that is displayed in the top left corner. This layout displays quite a decent amount of programming information at once and makes it a breeze to browse between different programmes and channels.

The menu system of the television too looks very welcoming too, complemented by its colourful icons, although some of the menus do run quite deep. And, as a result, it can take quite a few clicks to get to the more deep advanced picture settings.

Features:

The UE-C6000 range of 2D Full HD LED Panels is not the most affordable model in the market right now. You will get a 32” model of the UE C6000 model for around 800 pounds, and for such money, you can expect more than just a pretty frame, and as with any work of art, it is what is going on inside that really counts. And on that note, Samsung has tried its best to squeeze quite a substantial amount of cutting edge functionality on to the C6000. The main feature of course, is the Freeview HD tuner, closely followed by a wide range of picture and sound enhancement technologies along with some very handy multimedia capabilities. This list stops short of Samsung’s famous Internet TV portal that can be found on the step up series of C6600. Except for Internet and 3D capabilities, the C6000 LED TV is one of the highly specified HD TVs in the consumer market.

Networking:

You will not find it too hard to get the networking features up and running and in case you opt the standard DHCP, all of it is configured automatically. And as soon as the networking system has been set up, you will be able to use the TV’s built in media streaming facilities in order to grab music, images or videos from a system or network attached storage drive. Along with the DivX and Xvid formats, the C6000 also seems to support the MKV files at resolutions of up to 1080p, which contributes superb quality video streaming.

Internet Features: NA

One particular feature in which the C6000 really lets you down big time, though, is when it comes to the Internet widgets. In fact, it turns out this telly does not support any sort of Internet services, whatsoever, in spite of having a dedicated Internet button on the remote control. And, this is absolutely disappointing for a LED TV in this price range. If you wish for the Internet features, you might have to shell out more cash for the Samsung C6600. However, the absence of Internet TV is not a cause of concern as it is not everybody’s cup of tea and in most cases these services are just a waste of space and much useful and better features can be found on the Blu-ray decks like Sony’s BDP-S370, rather than looking for them in TV sets.

Edge LEDs:

As you can expect at this price point, the TV has a 1080p panel which is illuminated through the edge mounted LED lights. Like most LED TVs in the current market, the C6000 offers some exceptionally vivid colours that are so in your face that they will end up practically punching out your eyeballs. The black levels are outstandingly deep for an LCD screen. Having said that, the C6000 tends to add too much of egg to the pudding a little bit, with the reds resulting in slightly orange skin tones. Although black levels are very deep, the C6000 sometimes seems to struggle to tease out shadow detail in darker scenes.

Picture enhancing options:

We were quite surprised to discover that, under the bonnet picture calibration is the name of the game with more picture tweaks than there are barrels of oil in the Gulf of Mexico. The basic picture options that you get comprise modes such as, Dynamic, which is the eye smearing bright default showroom setting, Standard, Natural mode that reduces strain to your eyes and the Movie mode for watching in a dark room. And of course, you also get the standard backlight, contrast, brightness, sharpness, colour, and tint controls along with some eco friendly solutions that offer the image with different levels of brightness to match with your environmental disposition.

The logo on the cover reads “Imagine The Possibilities”, and we think that this should actually be taken as a warning to the level of complexity that can be achieved when you lose yourself in the jungle of controls at your disposal. Inside the Advanced settings menu, you will be able to find three kinds of black level adjustment like black tone, dynamic contrast and shadow detail. Here itself, the colours can be altered in myriad ways through menus for Gamma, RGB Only mode, colour space, white balance, flesh tone, and 10 point white balance. Finally, you will also find ON and OFF controls for xvYCC, edge enhancement and LED Motion Plus. The latter feature is quite essential for removal of judder and is also often the cause of haloing on the LED displays. As if that is not satisfying, you also have the Picture Options that allows you to adjust the colour tone, picture size, digital noise filter, MPEG noise filter, HDMI black level, film mode and 100Hz Motion Plus. There are even two so-called Expert patterns, one black and white, one colour, to help you see the results of making each adjustment.

Audio wise, the UE C6000 does not seem to be any better equipped to deliver a decent listening experience than any other thin TV with the ubiquitous 2 x 10W speakers, however it is quite pleasing to see SRS TheaterSound is on board. This offers standard, music, movie, clear voice and amplifies modes, plus there is also an equaliser and SRS TruDialog and TruSurround HD virtual 5.1 over headphones. You can simply plug in a USB flash drive or hard drive to access multi-media files or connect to a home network by using a CAT5 cable or invest in an optional wireless link.

No 3D: Not Yet

While it is true that 3D capability is highly likely to become a standard feature on the large screen tellys, it is quite unlikely to feature on sub 37 inch models for longer than you anticipate as the 200Hz processing requirements cannot be met and however, an immersive 3D experience will be rather lost in the smaller displays anyway. So, no 3D, no big deal.

Performance:

Edge-lit LED screens need an awful lot of processing to deliver images that can compete with the best CCFL-lit LCD and plasmas and Samsung has certainly got a lot of things right.

Video Performance:
HD:
The Samsung UE C6000 is capable of coping up with pretty much any type of picture source from avi and mkv files to 1080/24p Blu-ray. The best part about the C6000 is that, the high definition pictures look razor sharp regardless of whether they are being delivered through the Freeview HD tuner or a Blu-ray disc. The screen does a great job with the HD Sources and the built-in Freeview HD tuner serves some incredible pictures so that the day time shows like the Ellen sparkles with real astounding detail and clarity. Also quite impressive, although not unexpectedly, are the excellent black levels this screen is capable of throwing up. The ink black darkness that the C6000 produces is simply not achievable on an ordinary LED television. The Blu-ray reproduction is on par with the broadcast HD with generally excellent pictures.

SD:
The standard definition performance of the Samsung C6000 is also quite impressive, it does a stellar job of tarting up some of the low quality Freeview channels. The 100Hz motion processing keeps a check on most judder and motion artefacts, but it is actually best left turned off while watching movies, as it tends to make films look rather flat. Using the TV’s basic standard picture mode, the standard def broadcasts and DVDs are fed with as much detail and definition as could be expected but they do sometimes suffer with, shimmering around fast moving figures, which can be really distracting. Yet another glitch is that, despite the innumerable picture tweaks available the colour palette cannot deliver really accurate reds like a good plasma screen can. Another problem of edge-lit screens is that detail is lost in shadowy scenes and it is particularly bad here so that dark objects appear as an amorphous mass. Messing around with the settings does not seem to resolve the problem.

It is pleasing to report that the screen is no slouch when running a JPEG slideshow and is adept at playing multi-media files although AVCHD is not supported. Viewing angles are also excellent with no drop-off in brightness as you move to the side of the screen.

Audio Performance:
With such a slimline chassis of only 30mm thick, and speakers rated at a lowly 10W each, we were actually not expecting the Samsung UE C6000 to produce much in the way of sonic fireworks. Not of course anything like as clear or full as using a separate system but certainly perfectly acceptable for everyday use and superior to many larger screens. The various SRS modes like music, movie, clear voice and TruDialog, and Equalizer settings are well worth experimenting with to find the best soundfield for whatever genre you are listening too. Its audio performance is not half bad, though. The speakers are loud enough to fill a mid-size lounge and there are some very usable effects on-board. ‘Clear Voice’ helps dialogue stand out from background sound and the ‘SRS TheaterSound’ mode does a great decent job of spreading out the stereo image to make audio from the set seem more expansive.

Warranty:

Samsung offers its C6000 (32?, 37?, 40?, 46?, 55?) LED TVs, one year warranty for parts and labour.

Verdict:

The Samsung series C6000 is obviously, a very attractive-looking TV; something like a design statement. Putting the Minor glitches aside, it is quite capable of delivering crispy and dynamic pictures from both standard definition and high definition sources. The blacklevels and colours are excellent too. The standard definition pictures are generally good, especially the higher bandwidth channels on the Freeview tuner and the sound reproduction too is quite decent for an LED TV. The connectivity is quite generous, covering all your AV needs.

However, on the cons side it has the lack of detail in the very dark areas and 100Hz artefacts, even though the latter is not profoundly noticeable on larger displays. Considering the relatively small amount of screen real estate on offer and the lack of Internet features, however, we cannot help feeling its price is slightly on the high end. If you are in search for some LCD or Plasma alternatives, you can look for the really impressive 40” Sony KDL-40EX503 and Panasonic’s TX-P42G20. Yet another option is Panasonic’s TX-L32D28BP which is slightly pricier, but it brings in VieraCast Internet TV to the party.

Sharp LC32LE600E LED TV Review

LED TVs have led to an unforeseen revolution in the world of televisions. Making the TVs slimmer than ever and their pictures clearer than those of the previous TVs, this LED technology has become one of the brainchildren that the semiconductor technology has produced, which ultimately turned the fate of household appliances. Sharp is one of the prime companies that are producing these very lucrative televisions. It has been competing with the best in the business such as the likes of Samsung, Sony, and LG and so on. As a result of it, the customer is benefitted at the end of the day because, in order to stay on top, these manufacturers have to provide newer features, good solid mechanism and most importantly, at a very reasonable price. We are now going to discuss about one such TV and it features in the Sharp’s latest series of LED TVs. It is known as the Sharp LC32LE600E LED TV.

Design:

The TVs today are slimmer than they were ever before.  The introduction of the LEDs means that the space required for the basic setup of a TV is reduced a lot and hence you see that the TV looks incredibly slim. The LE600E has got it all when it comes to the design part. The perfectly engineered sleek design of it and then the overall balancing of the TV have been done very well by Sharp. Measuring about 76.7 x 50.2 x 9.2 cm and weighing about 22.3 lbs, the LE600E shows you that it is a perfectly designed masterpiece. Added to these, the gloss black colour of it makes its design look even more attractive and also this means that the TV can be set anywhere in your house, whether on the stand or even on the wall. It can also fit into any kind of atmosphere easily. Thus, obviously, the design is not exaggerated and the LE600E looks simple and cute.

Display:

The LED Televisions are considered to give the best display of all the TVs. Their predecessors, which are the LCD TVs that used the CCFL backlight system have not produced excellent pictures and showed considerable dragging when it came to fast moving objects. But now, since the LEDs are used for backlighting, this is not seen so often. But even then, these LEDs are arranged along the edges of the TV, which gives an uneven luminosity and hence the pictures are not equally illuminated. Hence, Sharp has now come with a TV that has these LEDs spread all over the screen so that the whole screen is uniformly lit. This gives a perfect balance of the whites and blacks so that the contrast of the pictures will also be good. This system also provides great viewing angles and this means that you can watch high definition pictures from any corner of the room. Thus, in a concluding manner, it can be said that the display part of the  Sharp Aquos LC32LE600E LED LCD TV is the best thing you will find on it, and with such a good technology being used, optimum visual experience is guaranteed. The 32 inch screen, measured diagonally, is big enough for medium sized rooms and will be comfortable to watch high definition movies even from a distance.

Features:

When Sharp announced the details of the LE600E, there were a few complaints regarding the number of features that are contained in it. Normally, an LED TV has a very good number of features and new options. If you look at the LED TVs from Sony and Samsung, this fact is clearly observed. Surprisingly though, Sharp has not provided with many features on the LE600E. Only basic features, which are seen on almost all the LCD TVs today, are featured on the LE600E. This is probably due to the fact that this TV is priced lesser than the LED TVs from the two aforementioned companies. But, having said that, it would have been better if there were more features and the customers also would not mind its cost since they get the value for their money at the end of the day. But nevertheless, the few features that are seen here are in fact, very good and they will never let you down. Let us view the various features found on the Sharp LE600E.

Full HD 1080:
Like most of the latest LED TVs, the Sharp LC32LE600E LED Backlit LCD TV provides a widescreen output for you to enjoy your pictures with a movie like experience. A picture resolution of 1920 x 1080 has become very common nowadays and that resolution means that you can enjoy watching 1080p videos on the screen of your Sharp LE600E. This may also mean that the TV works well playing your HD videos off your high quality camcorders. You can connect your camcorder and play the movies in high definition. This is also probably one of those useful features that try and make the Sharp LE600E a buyable TV.

Processor:
The present day’s TVs are all coming with solid processing systems, thanks to the stiff competition in the market. The Sharp LE600E, like most others, comes with a 100 MHz processor, which helps in driving the display mechanism of the TV. 100 MHz is very good for a processor and this can be supported by the fact that even the best of the TVs in the market today are having a 100 MHz processor, excepting the 3 D TVs. This very processor of Sharp helps in smoothly blending of the pictures into each other. This process happens so quickly and unnoticed that the motion of the pictures is very elegant and at the same time, natural too. This mechanism makes you feel very comfortable as your eyes are not strained. This processor is also very good at eliminating unwanted kerfuffles and picture blurs and by doing so, it gives you great viewing experience almost every time. Although the processor in not that great for making the TV a monitor for your high end gaming, it still looks good for watching movies and stuff.

Contrast quality of LC32LE600E:
Picture contrast is one of the most important features that any TV can have. It is this very feature that decides the quality of the TV. Coming to the Sharp LE600E, it has got a good picture contrast, probably on the higher side. You may wonder why this makes the LE600E a special TV. But most of today’s TVs do not seem to have this feature. This in turn means that such TVs are unable to produce vivid pictures that have the natural colour contrast. The Aquos LC32LE600E 32-inch LED Television has a very special ability of distinguishing between the whites and the blacks. This means that there is no colour aberration of your pictures and they are played at their utmost quality. A 2 million: 1 contrast ratio is really staggering, but an LED TV is expected to bring you pictures of such high contrast. Added to this, as we have already discussed under the display section, the TVs illumination is uniform throughout the screen and even after a prolonged use, the contrast stays for up to ninety percent of the original contrast. The LEDs are the only reason behind this feature and it will really be utile in the long run.

Super Green Panel:
There has to be at least one unique feature if the LE600E TV has to be any special. This time, it is the Super Green feature that is seen especially on the Sharp LE600E. This one is unique and is incorporated here with a view to produce better image clarity and quality. This is but just a series of LEDs and then an X GEN panel, the combination of which produces great picture quality while on the other hand, it consumes very little power. This particular panel thing is a lot better when compared to the conventional CCFL backlight systems used in most of the LCD TVs today. This not only provides you with excellent pictures, but it also saves you a few bucks. As a result of this advantage, the Super Green panel will definitely be commended and it may also lead to the rise in the sales of the LE600E.

Connectivity:
Connectivity is also one of the features that are looked after by most of the television manufacturers and the main reason behind it is that it makes your TV more than just a player of cable or satellite channels. Sharp has provided with a few connectivity options when it comes to the LE600E. Although there is no option for you to connect your TV to the internet, either through WLAN or through the Ethernet port, there are still options left for you to connect the TV to your PC and then sync the music and video files, which can be viewed on the big screen comfortably. There are also options for you to connect the TV to an external sound system and there are ports available for both the 5.1 and the 7.1 channel systems. You also have the option to connect the TV to external media players like the DVD player, home theatre system and also the latest Blu Ray Player. Hence, entertainment is always with you. This makes the connecting of the LE600E a little better than its precursors, but there should have been a few more, just in order to attract more customers. But nevertheless, the things that are present are satisfactory.

Thus, the features section shows that Sharp LC32LE600E 32? Widescreen LED TV has a good number of features, if not high enough, that really boost up the performance and serviceability of the TV. These aforementioned features are clearly eco friendly, by consuming less energy and also at the same time, they are user friendly, making things easy for the users to make use of the LE600E.

Performance:

This might well be the most important facet of any TV or even for that matter, any electronic gadget. Sharp has always carried the good name for producing sharp images and also pretty sharp sounds. But is that a thing of the past or is the potential still with Sharp even after the introduction of the LED TV, which is widely known for low audio performance and also inconsistent picture performance? We shall see.

Video Performance of LC32LE600E:
As we have already discussed before, the one most striking feature of the Sharp LE600E is its video performance. The videos look really great on the LE600E. This TV has the special ability show a great contrast between all the colours and also especially between the whites and the blacks. Due to the fact that there is an array of networks of LEDs behind the screen, the colour contrast and brightness distribution are always almost uniform and this ensures that the overall video quality is good and is also balanced very nicely.  Such good performance can never even be expected with a single source lit TV. The excellent picture performance booster in the form of the unique X Gen Panel is after all only an addition to already pretty good performance of the LE600E. This panel gives out light from all the directions and hence it is responsible for giving out an excellent video output. All these factors are responsible for making the Sharp LE600E a wonderful player of your videos.

LC32LE600E Audio Performance:
We normally do not see good audio performance from the slim and chic LED TVs like that of the Sharp LE600E. But, of late, there have been quite a few improvements in audio technology and most of the companies are now trying to improvise on their audio systems. Sharp has also done pretty much the same thing, by applying some new techniques like providing a set of speakers on the back side of the TV so that the sounds are reflected back to the front side, giving a very good audio experience. There are also options for you to connect the TV to external audio systems like the 5.1 channel and the 7.1 channel home theatre systems. This is also a recommended way of setting your TV since in that case you will get a much more solid acoustics from the LE600E. Hence, the audio has been really good this time from Sharp.

Interfaces:
Interfaces are one opportunity for any TV to show its mettle when it comes to its performance. The more are the number of interfaces, the better the TV is and its ability to work well with other similar entertainment oriented devices. Looking at the back side of the Sharp LE600E to find different interfaces or ports that are featured on it, you will find the following things there: one D Sub input, 4 HDMI inputs, which is really good, one component input, 1 SCART port, one composite input, one stereo phono, one optical S / PDIF output, one headphone output, a CL slot and a 3.5 mm mini jack audio input. Although this is a very pretty list, it is still surprising regarding the absence of the S video input and the DVI inputs. But, otherwise, the list is quite satisfactory. This really helps in hiking the performance of the Sharp LE600E, which is really good news to hear.

Concluding the performance aspect of the Sharp Le600E, it can be opined that though this may not be a great performance that an LED TV can give and also though it is not the best available TV in the market, the Sharp LE600E has still got in it something for everyone and all of that at a very reasonable and luring price tag, which is really a nice effort put in by Sharp. The bottom line is that the performance of the LE600E is not the best but it still is very good.

Power Consumption:

The Sharp LE600E has received many compliments from its users regarding this fact, the Power consumption of its TVs. Talking about the LED televisions in particular, the Sharp LE600E is considered to be one of the least power consuming TVs. With a power consumption of just 0.3 W in the standby mode, it can be said that the LE600E is an eco friendly TV. It is a very good employee since it works better than its counterparts and that too for a low salary. This is all owing to the truth that the LED lights that are the main parts of the LED TV do not actually need much energy for their working. Another good thing that is worth noticing here is that the TV is also manufactured by using fewer materials that are supposed to cause harm to the environment and also to us human beings, like mercury for an example. Nothing else could do it better and none can afford to ask for more.

Warranty:

The customers of the Sharp LE600E are provided with a collect and return warranty for a period of one year from the original date of purchase. This means that whatever is the problem, your TV will be taken to the service centre, will be repaired and then it will be returned again after some specified time, which will be notified to you depending upon the problem. Further details can be obtained from the official website.

Verdict:

The Sharp LE600E is one of the very buyable LED televisions. It has a very captivating design that comes with a very good colour combination. This attractive design of it makes it readily apt for any kind of surroundings. As we have discussed earlier, the display is solid enough and the display technology used here is fine, though it is not the best thing available. The main problem is with the features section. There are not many features for Sharp to boast about. But then, the existing ones are not bad and they provide excellent output from your TV. The new technology used by Sharp here is really a commendable one and it may take the LE600E to a whole new other level. The performance is also good, but. Both the audio and video came out to be very good. Even though the video technology is one step behind the latest one available, this can be accepted since this TV is it is not the best thing in the market for sure. Having said this, this TV is quite cheap when compared to most of the LED televisions you will find in the market, especially from likes of Sony, LG and Samsung. But overall, it is a decent little TV for its low price tag. But, in case you are not impressed by this one, remember that you always have better options in the market.

Samsung UE32B6000 LED Television Review

The natural human tendency is to look slim and attractive and the consequences are clearly evident in the technology used today. The televisions today are the slimmest ever and they use the best technology that is available, which is the TV with an LED backlight system. Though in a very short span a lot of LED TVs have cropped up, the LED TVs produced by Samsung are regarded as the best by far. Samsung has been releasing televisions at an alarming rate and never disappointed the fans of the television world. In a span of a couple of years, it has released different series of TVs like the 5, 6, and 7 series. None of them have received any serious criticism and one such TV is the Samsung UE32B6000 LED TV. Why is so much said about this model? You will see now.

Design:

Ever heard of a 32 inch photo frame? Well, that is what the Samsung UE32B6000 looks like. That is what happens when it comes to the LED TVs. The LEDs or the diodes are very small in size and hence require very less space unlike the CCFL system and CRT system, which command a lot of space. To be more specific, the UE32B6000 measures about 799mm wide, 29.9mm deep and 579mm high (with stand, and about 521mm without stand) and also weighing about 12.8kg with the stand and 9.6kg without it. Clearly, that is very slim indeed. It is almost as thick as the screen of your laptop or as much as a medium sized notebook. You can have it sit on the table or, just mount it on to the wall. Many people do the latter as it makes your room more stylish and it is also comfortable to watch. When you play pictures, you will be puzzled whether it is a TV or a photo frame. The red tint on the edges of the TV adds to its aesthetic value. Overall, a wonderful design produced by Samsung.

Display:

It is no wonder that the Samsung UE32B6000 32-inch LED Television has a stunning display. Of late, Samsung has been producing TVs with the greatest of displays ever. The LEDs have added feathers to the cap of the already outstanding display. The 32 inch LED display is really piquant especially for those who love to watch HD movies all the time. A resolution of 1920 x 1080 is not that common and it means that all your DVD and Blu Ray movies look crystal clear. The Mega dynamic contrast ratio enables you to watch speckless pictures that have no signs of dragging or tailing. This particular feature makes the TV a great monitor for your gaming consoles. It gives you stunning pictures of the high end HD games and also at a good rate with an unprecedented response time of 4 milliseconds. So, get ready for the best gaming experience.

Features:

Samsung, just like its neck-to-neck competitor Sony, is very famous for providing a large number of features in all its appliances. When it comes to the TVs, they are not only technically adept, but they also feature many options that make it easy for you to utilise them. But this time around, there are not that many features as expected and it certainly surprised us. Since most of the experts are placated towards the interesting features that Samsung introduce, they are a tad disappointed, as this time, there are lesser features.

Safety First:
The televisions of Samsung have never caused any disturbance to the health of both the people and the environment around them. The UE32B6000 Full HD LED TV is not an exception to this. In fact, the use of LEDs in the televisions has reduced a lot of pollution and health hazards. They have replaced the traditional CCFL backlight system used in the LCD TVs and this consists of mercury, which is considered to be hazardous. But it has been eliminated now, and your family and the environment can be healthier with the use of LED TVs. We have considered this as the first feature since it is related to humanity.

Processor:
Most of the TVs today come with the 100Hz processor. This processor is a wonderful mechanism that will try and blend your pictures so beautifully that it gives you a cinematic pragmatism. A frame rate that beats the human eye’s image storage rate is the main reason behind the smooth blending of the pictures into a nice continuous picture and it also eliminates any traces of tailing or dragging of pictures, so that crystal clear pictures are produced after making fine calibrations to the received signals. Hence, you can really afford to rank this processor right at the top.

Response Time:
The Samsung UE32B6000 has got the best response time in the world, wherein there is a time lag of only four milliseconds. This means that there is almost no gap that divides the input and the output signals. This particular essential is instrumental in making the TV a wonderful monitor for your gaming consoles. Tested against various consoles in the market including Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3, the Samsung UE32B6000 is incredibly quick and even such high definition games can be played comfortably. This is also another plus to the TV over the conventional LCD TVs, where there is considerable time lag between the signals. Hence, you experience uninterrupted game play and therefore uninterrupted entertainment.

Contrast:
Most of the LCD TVs today face the problem of picture contrast. Their pictures obviously lack contrast and hence the pictures are not candid. But a TV with mega dynamic contrast ratio, such as the Samsung UE32B6000 never faces such problems and the fact that it uses LEDs for backlighting makes it better when it comes to picture contrast. Samsung has mentioned that its contrast ratio is mega, which means that it is about 100000:1, and surely you will experience a mega performance from the UE32B6000.

Colour Engine:
One of the main problems you observe with the LED televisions today is the fact that they cannot produce natural colours. Somewhere or the other, the natural resolution of colours and contrasts are missing and this is also seen commonly in LCD TVs. In order to overcome this, Samsung has introduced a new colour engine technology inside the TV, wherein lies a colour engine that copies the colours as they are and then reproduces them exactly in the same manner. It sees to it that there is no kind of shift in the spectrum of light and it keeps the details of the colour intact even during transmission. This enables you to see the exact natural colours. This is a very good idea, as even though the pictures are exceedingly good, you do not normally like to see colour aberration for a long time.

Miscellaneous:
You can customise the options on the TV and set the TV to perform the way you want, just like many other things. There are different modes available that are characterised by the features and options that each of them have. You can switch between the modes and experience the difference. There are also a couple of games included in the TV that are good enough for children. An interesting thing to notice here is that batteries are provided here along with the TV just in case of untimely power cuts. A wall mount is provided so that you can easily mount the TV to the wall yourself, without the assistance of a technician. There are 25 languages in all, and all the major languages in the world are covered so that the local people find it easy to operate the TV.

Hence, although the features are not good in number, they are very effective. They make the TV look very promising and adds to its beauty. But is that all? Is beauty alone enough? What about its potential?

Performance:

Samsung has got a great reputation of producing the finest of performances ever and is also known for its innovative use of technology. Its picture quality is always good and the audio has generally been effective. But since this is an LED TV, things are subject to change. So, let us wait and see of Samsung lives up to the expectations and whether or not it still keeps its reputation. Coming to the performance of a TV in general, you basically concentrate on three aspects namely picture quality, audio quality and interfaces or ports. Let us carefully examine these three aspects to see of what we expect turns out to be true.

Picture Quality: Pretty Limpid
You will realise that the Samsung UE32B6000 Widescreen LED LCD TV is one of the best performers ever. With the quality of the processing engine and display system that are used, you will experience great detail in your pictures. When you play HD movies, you will definitely see the difference as the pictures are so smooth and candid on the screen of the UE32B6000. The excellent colour technology that is used in this TV gives a great range of pictures, from the deepest blacks to the pristine whites. Almost all the colours that are seen in nature can be reproduced with great precision. There is a lot of fluidity in the pictures on this TV as the details are meticulous. It is this inestimable ability that makes it one of the main contenders for the best TV available in the market today.

Sound Quality: Solid Acoustics
Looking back at the history of the slim TVs, be them the plasmas, the LCDs or the LEDs, the only drawback you will find is their audio performance. Since the picture quality is always top notch in these TVs, there is nothing to complain. But there has been a lot of concern over the fact that these slim TVs are not able to produce great sound quality and the sounds do not complement the excellent pictures that they exhibit. This is an acceptable fact. Hence the producers of these TVs are trying different technologies in order to rectify this problem to some extent if not to the full. Samsung uses the latest audio technology available today. Its down firing type 2 x 10 W speaker system help it produce good sounds and audio systems like Dolby Digital Plus and SRS TruSurround HD make the sound more emphatic.

Interfaces: No Wi-Fi?
Interfaces or ports help you connect your TV to external devices and sync the data between them. It enhances the connectivity of your TV. The Samsungs TVs always had a good number of interfaces. Here is a list of all the interfaces that you will find at the back side of the Samsung UE32B6000: 4 HDMI ports, 1 USB port, 1 Optical Digital Audio, 1 PC input, 1 PC audio input, 1 DVI Audio Input, 1 component mini jack, 1 mini composite, 1 RF input, 1 CI slot, and 1 mini scart. This is a pretty long list of ports that a TV can have. They all are very useful in connecting your TV with external devices. Even though they are very good, there should have been an option for you to connect to the internet. If not wireless, there must have been an Ethernet port. Particularly, when the Sony Bravia LCD TV is having such facility, it may be considered as a minus in the Samsung UE32B6000.

Thus, this is definitely one of the best TVs in the market at present. Though it lacks a couple of critical features that are seen in other good televisions, it has got its own story to narrate and even then, it is still the prime contender for the best TV in the world. Its excellent display system and audio performance make up for the negative aspects in it.

Power Consumption:

Normally, the LED TVs need very less power since the diodes used in them are very little and also require very little. Hence, at 220-240V and either of 50 and 60Hz, the Samsung UE32B6000 consumes about 95W of power. This rating is lesser than the average power consumed by other TVs by a factor of about 30. There is a power saver option which can be switched on when you want to put your TV in the standby mode. In this mode, the TV consumes only about 0.1W. The TV has also got an eco label, called the eco flower which represents that it consumes very little energy. This not only helps the environment, but also your expenses.

Warranty:

Samsung offers the UE32B6000, parts and labour warranty for a period of one year. You can extend this up to five years by subscribing on the internet from different websites like Amazon.

Verdict:

The Samsung UE32B6000 is a truly great LED television, coming to you at a very reasonable price. It is far better than many LCD TVs you see in the market. Its design is very attractive and makes it a very buyable television. The display technology used is also of the finest quality. The features and the performance aspects complement each other very well. With minimal but effective features and also top-drawer performance, the Samsung UE32B6000 has already won the hearts of many users and critics all over the world. But this is certainly not the end of the world. There are always better options for you to choose. This is the 6 series LED TV released by Samsung. After this, Samsung has gone for the 7 and 8 series TVs. Though there are costlier than this one, they have many more features and are also a tad superior in performance. So, if you are prepared to pay high, you can always get better output.

LG 22LE3300 22-inch LED TV Review

If you have already got a new television in your longue, it is time you think about upgrading the other TV sets in your home. A 22? TV is great for watching TV in your bed and this LG 22LE3300 LED TV is fabulous offering you HD ready 720p picture quality. When we decided to review a small size TV, we did a plenty of research of 22” TV’s and ultimately selected this one, in spite of being a little wary at the total lack of expert reviews and customer opinions on it yet, so here is at least one for you that we believe will help you in knowing more about its performance, technical specifications and things like dimension, connectivity, etc.

Design features:

The LG 22LE3300 HD Ready LED Television is a slim design that looks really good as well as having a superb picture. Built with a great contrast, you will simply enjoy watching films on this slim LG TV having lights around the TV‘s edge. The LG 22LE3300 could be wall mounted to make it easy to fit into any room. In terms of quality, the panel seems to be well built with the only minor complaint being with its front bezel. The bezel has a high-glossy plastic finish. It does not look that good out of the box, but does also show every bit of fingerprint. We are however not too keen on the glossy finish either as it tends to reflect light a bit too much. LG though has included a little cloth with which you can polish the telly, should the smears turn out to be off-putting. A HD Ready TV, the LG 22LE3300 makes you feel and experience a range of HD content with enhanced colours comprising crisper, sharper, more detailed images at a higher resolution of 1366×768 pixels. From Blu-ray to games, the HD content looks simply superb on the 22LE3300. Another advantage of the LED Technology is the super-slim cabinet depth. At just about 34.4mm, it is half the depth of most LCD TV rivals. Overall, the LG 22LE3300 gives an impression of very clean lines having a thin unit with a thin bezel.

The icing on the cake perhaps is that the power consumption is roughly about 41 watts which is considerably low under any standards. Now that is about 50% less than a regular light bulb, which is enough to make a significant difference to your energy bill over a year or so.

LED backlighting:

The major selling point of LEG 22LE3300 22-inch LED TV is its LED backlighting, which obviously gives it a much blacker black and whiter white than the standard or conventional CCFL backlit alternatives and gives a nice, slim panel that is just an inch thick. Any thinner and a Scart plug will have no trouble popping through the front. We found the picture quality to be excellent and that is miles ahead of its competition. Having a great contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, brightness and colour definition, the 22” LED TV is about 20 times better than most of its rivals and comes with the detail and realism to show for it.  So what is the result? Images when combined with High definition are so realistic that you can just feel like as if you were reaching into the picture. Add to the unique contrast ratio, a response time as little as 3m/s that is ideal for gamers. And at this size, the LG 22LE3300 can well go on to replace your monitor altogether. A PS 2 via the SCART lead looks completely fine if you simply turn the sharpness up, though it still did not look as great as a CRT. A playstation in HD also looks nice and seems pretty responsive, but the default Game Mode colours look slightly pale and washed out. But thankfully, you can turn them up and the TV is built with various different set up modes and this means you can turn colours up for Game Mode, however leave it lower to watch normal TV without the need to change it every time you switch input modes.

LG’s popular Engine wraps up a technology package that offers this compact television a much better picture quality than you would imagine for one that is incredibly small. Not to mention that the viewing angles are really good, both vertical as well as horizontal. The contrast and brightness do seem to fade slightly when viewing from an angle; nevertheless they are nothing close in comparison to the cheap TN panels. We also like the power saving features as you can flick between various power modes which turns the contrast and brightness right down at varying levels just at the press of a button.

Performance:

Sound quality:

The sound quality can often be an “Achilles’ heel” in slim panels and small screen, but somehow the manufacturer has managed to offer this particularly svelte unit in some decent aural characteristics. The volume for sure goes loud enough to drive your adjoining neighbours mad. Thanks to a pair of invisible, quality 20W speakers (10W + 10W power output). The sound quality may not provide a proper Hi-Fi anything to worry about, but is definitely pleasant to listen to. Another impressive feature is that the voices sound pretty natural and there is none of the tininess normally associated with TVs of this screen size. We found the sound as striking as the 22LE3300. Besides, this 22LE3300 22-inch HD Ready LED TV comes with Clear Voice II technology and LG’s Infinite Sound to make sure you always hear the dialogue. The Clear Voice could amplify the frequency range of the human voice so as to make sure that dialogue is audible and clear especially when background noise is loud. Said that, the sound will never be brilliant and will never come close to Sony BDV-E300 (just as a point of comparison), but we felt it is more than adequate. Treble and Bass are not overpowering and the Bass in particular is lacking any oomph even at 100%. Said this, we did not feel the difference even when the bass was on the default 50%. However they are good enough to add some element of involvement to the programme that is being displayed. No separate speakers can be added to the LG 22LE3300 (too many cables) and we are really happy with the quality. For a small and very thin TV, the LG’s built-in-sound may come as a big surprise to you.

Menus and interface:

We were impressed with how smart the menus and interface are. The LG 22LE3300 is a recently released product and we think it is reflected in the software design. It is much like the 7/OSX in its appearance, very simple and easy on the eye and intuitive when it comes to navigation. The buttons on the television itself are fully touch sensitive and those that you can find on the tactile feeling remote are pleasant and clear to use. The layout is also very logically laid-out. We also found that the Freeview tuner is superb that helps pick up all channels and you will have no trouble flicking between them. The increase of picture quality was an order of magnitude higher. Wimbledon was on BBC2 when we connected and more impressive is the tracking of the main object. There was no blurring, slowdown, etc. Football (poor Honduras) was also nicely displayed and tracking again was quite superb. There is a gamut of options if you have to configure the picture, but the out of the box settings are also simply good with fabulous skin tones and no over bright colours, etc. The on-screen programme is first-class, comfortable and easily as clear as that of a Sky digibox and the IMO is great to view. Though the menu system is nicely presented and simple, it would have been nice if on the Electronic Programme Guide, you are able to view a list of all the programmes on single channel as well as simply having a big grid of different channels. Also, when we tried cycling through channels to watch the programme information, it does not automatically pop up to show what is on. For this you have to simply press another button. Other than this, the basic TV settings are simple to navigate to and adjust.

Connectivity & Slots:

One feature where the LG 22LE3300 TV punches above its weight is apparently its connectivity. You can find Twin HDMI sockets that will allow you plug in two digital sources including a HDTV box and Blu-ray. Added to this, there is a separate PC input, component, SCART and a useful digital optical audio output. Another particular feature of interest that we do not seem to find on many TVs, if any, of the 22” competition is the USB connectivity of 22LE3300. This will allow you to play pictures, films, music or show off your holiday snaps from a digital camera, MP 3 player or flash memory by plugging them directly into the TV’s side mounted USB slot. This you can find in a recess about 2” back from the edge, therefore the memory stick will not distract by jutting out beyond the frame of the TV. We tried the USB input with a USB hard disk and were really surprised that it would play most video clips and display the photos on it. The good thing here is that it played clips one after another, no matter the repeat option was on or off, so we are unsure what the repeat option is supposed to do. The LG 22LE3300 can automatically load a file browser or folder/file structure on the memory stick and playback is child’s play. As yet we have tested it only with an xvid AVI file, but it worked incredibly well. It also had no trouble displaying the JPEG images. There is only one small flaw and that is when playing xvid/divx via the USB port, we found that the sound gets out of sync after sometime. You can fix this up of course by going back and then forward yet again, but this seems to be a bit annoying and later we were told by LG it was because of file we were supposedly playing.

Easy to set up:

The LG 22LE3300 LED LCD TV looks like a nice quality piece of kit and easy to set up. It took only about 10 minutes to get it all out of the box and screw the stand on. The only problem was that the screws supplied were rather too long for the thickness of the wall bracket. There is a manual on CD, but we did not really need it and it was very intuitive too.

Intelligent Sensor:

LG’s Intelligent Sensor is available in this model and this is a unique technology that could analyse the ambient light in a room making use of a 4,096-step algorithm and then suitably adjust the TV’s settings for optimal picture quality. You can see that in this process, not only does it change the setting like the colour saturation, but can also change the intensity of the TV’s backlight enhancing the picture considerably, thereby saving power.

Manufacturer warranty:

The LG 22LE3300 TV is covered under a manufacturer warranty of 1 year from the original date of purchase.

Conclusion:

Let us have a quick run-through of some of the pros and cons of the LG 22LE3300.

Positives:

Extremely thin screen/light weightSleek, attractive designReasonable priceGood audio (not tinny at all)Excellent connectivity (used PS2 & HD through USB and no problem watching movies through USB)Easy set upTouch buttons on TVIntuitive menus

Negatives:

Not incredible picture quality, but you can fiddle with the settings and make it a bit better, but we suppose you get what you pay for!

With access to over 8 day on-screen guide, 40 Freeview TV & radio channels and digital interactive services, the LG 22LE3300 is pretty decent and watchable and not just amazingly sharp or clear. Whether you are on the hunt for a second TV or TV/monitor for your PC or games console, the LG 22LE3300 gives you one of the most stylish and impressive options. If you are reluctant to spend more than £250 and also like to save some £80 in the process, the LG 22LE3300 should be fine. But if you are much concerned about perfection, then you better go for a Sony or Samsung model.

Samsung UE40B6000 LED LCD TV Review

If one decides to buy an LED LCD TV, or even for that matter, any television, one of the first thoughts that occur in their mind is about the range of quality TVs from Samsung. Why not? Samsung has been a wonderful stalwart in the field of the production of electronic goods and particularly, the televisions. Even though there has been a stiff completion of lately from other electronic giants like LG and Sony, Samsung has got nothing to lose as it only got better and also got the better of the other two. Its continuous series of TVs has become a great hit and almost each of its latest TVs is being sold as the red hot model in the market at present. The attractive thing regarding the 6 series LED TVs is that, they are neither costly nor cheesy. One such series is the 6 series, and in particular, the UE40B6000. What is so special about this TV then? Well, almost everything.

Design:

A cool looking one:
Keeping up the traditions of Samsung’s previous LED TV models, the UE40B6000 40-inch LED Television is also a real beauty. A stylish design along with a wonderful red tint enclosing the curvy outer bezel makes the UE40B6000 one of the coolest looking LED TVs today. This TV looks very good statistically as well. Measuring about 983 mm wide, 688 mm high and 255 mm deep, this is really slim TV. And also weighing about 18.4 kg, this has to be one of the light weight TVs considering the fact that it is an LCD TV. It can be mounted on the wall as well stood upright on the table. The former is a better option since then it makes your living room livelier and also gives you a kingly feeling of possessing such a slim and wonderful TV. These points may be enough to convince even the narrowest minded person in the world that the UE40B6000 is one of the best looking LCD TVs in the world.

Display:
Now clearly, any TV in the world will have to face an acid test when it comes to the aspect of display. Since it is the most important thing regarding a TV, Samsung seemed to have taken all the more care this time around in making its TVs provide very good pictures. For the first time in the history of its TVs, Samsung has introduced the 1080p resolution for its TVs. This means that your pictures come with a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, or in other words, you will get HD pictures from the UE40B6000. The backlight system is really good for this TV and it holds the key for the great pictures and very good balance of luminosity all over the screen. The uniform brightness of the screen is also a cool feature. This means that there is no fading away of certain dark colours and especially black from the centre of the screen towards the ends. Another very good feature of this TV is that, it has very good viewing angles, which means it would be very comfortable to watch it even from very acute angles and still experience almost no loss in the colour intensity or picture quality.

Features:

Processor:
The Processor is a very essential part of a TV. Most of the TVs that you see today are coming with the 100Hz processor, just like the UE40B6000. This special and also the latest processor is really a very good mechanism whose main function is to blend the pictures seen on TV, and blend them so beautifully that you get a cinematic view of the videos. Now, the Samsung UE40B6000 40? Widescreen LED TV has got a frame rate that beats the human eye since the blending of the pictures is very rapid and also smooth at the same time. Such a good feature has also the ability to eliminate picture diseases like any trails of tailing of pictures. This makes the pictures so crystal clear. These pictures are also produced after fine calibrations to the received signals are made. Thus, this processor can really be ranked to be right there at the top.

Response Time of UE40B6000:
Like most of the LED TVs from Samsung, the UE40B6000 has got one of the best response times, and this means that there is a very small time lag of only 4 milliseconds, while the average is near to 6 milliseconds. It means that there is almost no time gap between the input and the output signal. This very factor plays a cameo in making the TV a very good monitor for all your high end games, which you can play on your gaming consoles. This 40 inch beauty is tested as a monitor for various consoles that are in the market such as the Microsoft Xbox 360 the Nintendo Wii and the Sony PlayStation 3, and the results showed that the Samsung UE32B6000 1080p LED LCD TV is real time quick and also even at such high speeds, these games can be played very comfortably since there is also no tailing. This feature also turns out to be another plus to the Samsung UE40B6000 TV over the other good LED TVs in the market, which always clearly show you a considerable time lag between the input and output signals. Hence, this may mean that you can always have great experiences like an uninterrupted game play and as a result of it, continuous entertainment.

Contrast:
Picture Contrast is also a main factor considered while estimating the picture quality. But sadly, most of the LED TVs today are facing this problem of picture contrast. Almost each of their pictures obviously lacks contrast and hence the outcome of this is that the final pictures are not really candid in a way they are expected to be. But since the Samsung UE40B6000 is a new TV that boasts a mega dynamic contrast ratio, it never faces problems regarding the picture contrast and another thing here is that owing to the fact that it uses LEDs for backlighting, it makes things better when it comes to the picture contrast. This mega dynamic contrast, which means that it is about 100000:1, is surely going to provide you with a mega experience from the UE40B6000.

Colour Engine:
You will normally find that one of the main problems with the LED televisions today is the truth that they are not able produce natural colours or the exact colours seen by the human eye. For some reason or the other, the lifelike resolution of the colours and also the contrasts is missing. This problem arose probably due to the fact that the LEDs are inefficient when it comes to producing quite sharp and lifelike pictures. With the objective of overcoming this very little but significant inability, Samsung has now introduced into the UE40B6000, a new very special colour engine technology, which is nothing but just a colour engine that tries to copy the colours just as they are and then it again reproduces these pictures in the same manner, so that you will almost get the exact colours of the objects replicated. It also takes care in order to make sure that there is nothing like a shift in the frequency of the light and this means that the details of the colour are kept intact even while they are being transmitted. This is what exactly the thing that makes you feel the difference between the artificial and the exact natural colours. This is in fact a very nice idea from Samsung because, even though the pictures on the UE40B6000 are really good, colour aberration for an extended period of time is likely to cause discomfort to your eyes and they strain faster than normal.

Safety Measures:
Samsung’s TVs have never caused any hazards to the health of either the people or the environment around them in the past and the UE40B6000 is obviously not an exception to this. As a matter of fact, using LEDs in for the purpose of backlighting the television screens has reduced a lot of pollution and health hazards recently. Many television manufacturers in the world have now replaced the traditional CCFL backlight system, which is very widely used in the LED TVs. This is because such a system consists of mercury, which is regarded as hazardous to health. But it is not in use now and this means that you, your family and also your surroundings can be healthier now.

Miscellaneous Features:
There are a few miscellaneous features that particularly do not come under any special category. One such is the customisation option. With this option, you can now customise the different options that are featured on the TV and then you can set the TV to perform the way you want it to. Then, there are also different picture modes available and they are characterised by the different features and options they possess. You are now allowed to switch between the modes at your will and experience the difference for yourself. A couple of games are also included in the TVs features set and they are very entertaining for your children. We are also happy and hope you will also be happy to hear that the UE40B6000 comes with batteries, which are provided with the TV, just in case of power cuts. An easily fixable wall mount is also provided and this means that it will be easy for you to mount the TV on to the wall yourself in simple steps, without ever waiting for the assistance from a technician. Since Samsung’s TV are sold in many countries of the world, there are 25 languages loaded in the TV and almost all the major languages of the world are featured on the menu so that it will be easy for the local people to operate the TV.

Thus, though the features are not too many in number, but they can still be considered to be very effective, considering their range of application. They also try and make the UE40B6000 look very promising while they add to its beauty at the same time. Now, the question comes whether the TV is equally effective and attractive when it comes to its performance.

Performance:

As the performance of the TV is a deciding factor, it must definitely be taken care of and that is what Samsung has exactly done. When compared to its previous LED TV series, the 5 series, you will find a lot of difference in aspect of performance. More advanced video and audio technologies are used in the 6 series televisions to make sure that it becomes a real hit in the market, and this is exactly the reason why the UE40B6000 is one of the TVs that are very highly rated in the market.

Video Performance:
Three Dimensions:
This may be the best feature of all. The TV gives you the opportunity to watch your TV in three dimensions, which means that an extra dimension is added to your television world. This makes the pictures on your TV very lively and more natural than the conventional two dimensional pictures. As Samsung quotes, this TV gives you depth without depth. The embedded LEDs are responsible for producing pictures that have depth as well. Watching pictures of great depth in a TV that is pretty slim is a wonderful experience to tell you the truth. Although there are some concerns regarding the health of human eye watching this 3D TV, Samsung does not make any remarks regarding this. However, children are advised not to watch the three dimensional pictures for longer periods as this may disturb their vision for short intervals. Excepting this, everything else is very good regarding the video performance of the Samsung UE40B6000.

Audio Performance:
If you take a slight peek into the history of the LCD TVs, or the LED TVs, you will find that the one major problem with them is their audio performance. While the quality of their pictures is top notch as always and about which there is not almost anything to complain. But, there has definitely been quite a concern over the fact that the LCD TVs are not capable of producing very good acoustics and also clearly the sounds do not complement the pictures that are exhibited by these HD TVs. This is really a widely known truth. Looks like the worries regarding the audio on your LCD TV is over. Even though previously LED TVs are not able to produce great sounds and especially lacked vigour when it comes to surround sounds, Samsung has this time made sure that its 6 series LED TVs are very much capable of solving this problem. In spite of all the aforementioned problems, Samsung has shown its mettle by using the latest and the best audio technology available till date. With the help of its down firing type 2 x 10 W speakers; it gives you really qualitative and good sounds. It has also introduced a couple of robust audio systems like the Dolby Digital plus HD and SRS TruSurround HD, which make the sound all the more emphatic.

Interfaces:
One of the very good things that are found on the TVs from Samsung is its interfaces or ports, which are of great importance when it comes to modern entertainment. The UE40B6000 never looked like an exception from this and there are quite a few options for you to get your TV connected to various external devices and sync them for the purpose of data exchange. The various interfaces that are found at the back side of the Samsung UE40B6000 are as follows: 1 PC input, 1 PC audio input, 1 DVI Audio Input, 1 component mini jack, 1 mini composite, 1 RF input, 1 USB port, 1 Optical Digital Audio 1 CI slot, and 1 mini scart. This is really quite a list of ports that any LED TV can have, considering their slimness. They all help you in making things easy for you in terms of connectivity. Although this can be a great list, it would have been even greater if there was the option for you to connect to the internet, either wired or even wireless. Leave alone wireless, but at least there should have been an Ethernet port. Particularly, when the prime competitor to the UE40B6000, the Sony Bravia LED TV, is having such a facility that connects you to the internet directly, Samsung must have considered providing that option. But, otherwise, it is really great to see the multitasking ability of the UE40B6000.

Thus, looks like as if the Samsung UE40B6000 is a trend setter. With all the best features and options on earth, Samsung has also not compromised in providing very good performance aspects, which is really great to hear. Such a high performing television will always make one very happy and also very proud of its possession.

Power Consumption:

It is a widely known fact that the LED TVs consumes very little power when compared to their LCD, and Plasma counterparts. This is because; these LEDs are simple and also small diodes that require a small voltage for their functioning. Hence, at almost all the conditions, the Samsung UE40B6000 consumes just about 100 W of power. This rating is pretty good and clearly, it saves your money. There is also a power saver option provided, which when switched on, puts your TV in the standby mode. In this mode, all the sundry functions and operations of the TV are turned off and as a result of it, the TV consumes only about 0.1 W of power on an average. The TV, as an additional feature, has also got a label against environmental pollution, and is called the eco flower label, which literally means that it consumes little energy. This means that both your money and your surroundings are protected better than they were ever before.

Warranty:

Samsung offers the UE40B6000, parts and labour warranty for a period of one year. Although there is no direct process for extending your warranty period, you can still try and extend this period up to five years by subscribing on the internet from a few websites like Amazon, and also get a few offers.

Verdict:

What more do you need? After having a look at all that is discussed above, it must have been pretty clear to you that if all that you need is an excellent performing TV then the Samsung UE40B6000 is really the one for you. You may think of complaining about the fact that the TV is a bit highly priced, but it really deserves that amount. Hence, if you are not thinking of budget, then the UE40B6000 is a wonderful choice in front of you. Otherwise, there are cheaper options as well in the market, but with lesser promising performance.

Sharp Aquos LC46LE600E LED Television

The television world is one of the fastest developing ones and has undergone serious modifications and improvisations of late due to the advents of new technologies day by day. They have become slimmer and sleeker as the years passed by and also consumes less energy, or what you call the electric power. From the huge looking and heavy Cathode ray tube televisions to the ultra slim LED TVs, lots and lots of improvements have been made. Sharp, which is one of the better producers of television sets, has now launched its new LED television, the Sharp Aquos LC46LE600E.

The semiconductor devices and electronic engineering have now spread their kingdom by lately entering the television sets. The light emitting diodes or the LEDs are now the talk of the town since they have completely changed the way TVs look and work. A new dimension is now added inside the televisions so that you can now watch three dimensional pictures. As everyone knows that the three dimensional pictures look far more lively and natural when compared to their two dimensional counterparts, it can be said that the LED TVs are more natural in the way of displaying the pictures. The Sharp Aquos LC46LE600E LED TV has in it the above technology in order to make it a wonderful and also a lucrative television. Let us move on to the prime aspects of the Aquos LE600E and find out what are those factors that make this TV so demanding in the market.

Design:

Slim:
Even a school boy now tells you that most of the LED TVs are slimmer than his notebooks. The advent of the LEDs meant that there is no need of great space. These simple diodes require very less space unlike the cathode ray tubes, which command a world of space. Hence the outcome of this is that the TVs are slenderised to the maximum extent possible. The Aquos LE600E has not disappointed its users at all when it comes to the design part. Almost perfectly sleek design and moreover the overall balancing of it is a commendable effort put in by Sharp. Measuring about 1099 x 688 x 93.2 mm and weighing about 23.5 kg, it shows you how slim and portable it is. Moreover, the gloss black colour of it looks very cool and the little blue tint right at the bottom makes the design look even more attractive. Nothing too flashy is done with the design and colour combination, and this means that the television can easily fit into any kind of atmosphere.

Display:
The LC46LE600E has a screen size of 46? and is also available in 40” and 32”. As discussed earlier, the display system is LED. This means that the screen is LCD and this is backlit with the light emitting diodes or the LEDs. In the normal case, this meant that the screen is lit with all the diodes concentrated at one position, that is, the central part of the screen. Hence, the lighting was not uniform and this was clearly evident from the display. The brightness and the colour contrast faded gradually. This also meant that the TVs were not having very good viewing angles. But, Sharp came up with a good idea of spreading these LEDs. Hence, the Aquos LE600E is uniformly lit and therefore there is nothing like fading of pictures at the corners and the edges of the screen.

Thus, now the TV has very good viewing angles and so you can watch high quality pictures with pretty much the same luminosity at all the points of the screen. And also along with this, the brightness of the screen is quoted to be 45 cd / m2, with almost the same levels in all the areas of the screen. This is pretty good for an LED TV. Hence, it can be concluded that almost everything is good about the display of the Aquos LE600E and you will also be comfortable watching it.

Features:

The Aquos LC46LE600E 46-inch LED Television comes with a few features that catch the attention of the buyers. These features are such that an unbiased customer will shift towards this TV after having an idea of its features. Although there is not much of a difference between the conventional LCD and these new LED televisions, a few alterations make these LED televisions a little better and hence they have an edge over their LCD counterparts. Let us peek into each of the features and applications of the Sharp Aquos LE600E.

Processor:
The Aquos LE600E comes with a 100 MHz processor or simply, an engine that drives the display process of the TV. This is pretty good for a processor and also 100 MHz means that the pictures look great and they also smoothly blend into each other. This happens so perfectly that the motion of the pictures looks very elegant and almost every time, you feel that you are watching a movie. The processor also eliminates unnecessary disturbances and picture blurs and hence gives you a great viewing experience. This may not be a unique feature of the Aquos LE600E since there are many other brands in the market that have a 100 MHz processor for their televisions, be them LED or LCD. But the way it modifies and beautifies the pictures on the TV is so impressive. You almost get impeccable pictures every time you switch on the Aquos.

Stupefying Contrast:
The colour contrast of the Aquos LE600E Full HD LED TV is pretty much on the higher side and the special contrast feature that this TV has is responsible for making the videos look more natural and colourful. This feature means that the television can produce almost all the colours. Although this may seem normal, this feature is not so common among the normal televisions. Many televisions cannot produce all the colours with great vividness. But the Aquos LE600E can do it easily. The Aquos LC46LE600E proudly claims that it has a contrast ratio of a staggering 2,000,000:1. And also added to this, the illumination is almost uniform all over the screen and is stays constant for up to 90 percent of the original contrast, even after a long time. This fabulous feature is only possible with the use of LEDs and Sharp has almost used them perfectly.

Super Green:
This is a unique feature introduced by Sharp in order to produce greater display and image quality. This one is nothing but just a combination of LED backlights and an X GEN panel that produces great picture quality while consuming minimum power. When you compare this latest technology with the one that is used in the LCD televisions, this one looks a lot better. While the LCD televisions use something called the CCFL backlight system, the LED TVs use the LED and in particular, the Super Green combination that is used in the Aquos LE600E is far better in producing great backlight even while consuming very low power. Hence this turns out to be a wonderful finding for Sharp and it will definitely be appreciated.

Good Interfaces:
For any electronic device that comes out nowadays, the ports or the interfaces are required in order to increase the range of utility and to make life more comfortable. The more are the interfaces, the more is the entertainment. When it comes to the Sharp Aquos LC46LE600E, there are a good number of interfaces that help you connect to different electronic devices and synchronise with them in order to exchange data. You can connect to a computer, a DVD player and also to an external audio system like either the 5.1 or the 7.1 channel audio system and so on. Sufficient number of ports and interfaces make the Aquos more useful than ever.

Connectivity:
Another good facility provided by Sharp is that you can connect the Aquos LE600E to your computer and then exchange media between them. There is a separate cable that is provided to you along with the TV in the kit. All you need to do is just plug the cable in both the sockets and you will find that the computer is synced with the TV. Sharp has stated that it has made synchronisation simpler by providing various syncing options. This means that connection to your PC became simpler and faster. The only thing that is missing here is the WLAN facility that allows you to connect to the internet. But since this is a new model, we expect that it may soon be added by Sharp.

Thus, as we have seen in this section, the Sharp Aquos LC46LE600E has a wide range of features that enhance the efficiency and usability of the TV. Many of these and the other features are not only user friendly but they are also eco friendly. They consume lesser power than normal, which is the most important aspect because at the end of the day, money is all that matters.

Performance:

Without any doubt, the LED televisions are expected to give superior performances when compared to their LCD counterparts. Moreover due to the latest technology that has been featured in the Aquos LE600E, the expectations are even higher. Will Sharp be able to produce really sharp images? Well, let us see.

Video Performance:
The Videos look stunning on the Aquos LE600E LED LCD TV. This one can show a great contrast between the colours and particularly between the white and the black, when a normal LCD TV or for that matter, even the conventional LED TV cannot even dream of doing it. Due to the fact that there are multiple LEDs behind the screen, the colour contrast and brightness distribution are uniform and hence the overall video is balanced very nicely. The same performance can never be achieved with a TV that has a single light source. The X Gen Panel is a special feature that you will find in the Aquos LE600E. This enables the light from the sources to fall uniformly and thereby giving an excellent video performance and also a great spectacle especially when you are watching HD movies. The optical picture control feature also adds to the beauty of the pictures on the Aquos LC46LE600E. Since the television is a bit cheaper than normal, Sharp has gone with the second best video technology that is presently available. You will find better video technology on the highly priced TVs from the other companies in the television market. But nevertheless, this second ranked technology is not so old and is also almost as good as the best one. Hence, you get great pictures with the Aquos LE600E.

Audio Performance:
As you would expect from a slim and flat television, like the LED TV, the audio is not that great. It is sad to know the fact that since the TVs are so flat nowadays, there is not much place left for good quality speakers. It must be accepted that at present there is no latest audio technology available that can produce excellent sound quality even while being slim and sleek. But the audio is not that bad. When you look at the other LED TVs in the market, produced by the best of the companies, you will notice that they have similar stories to share. So, there is no other go when it comes to the audio. The sound looks more one dimensional when you are watching movies. This is the only problem but otherwise, the audio is fine.

Hence, it can be said that even though this is not the best performance that an LED TV can give you, it still is a very appreciable effort put in by Sharp in giving the best possible performance within the price range. You can always go for better performing LED TVs from many other companies, but this may cost you a lot. Hence, for a normal user, the Aquos LE600E is more than enough, especially since it is a bit less costly.

Power Consumption:
This is another area where the Sharp Aquos LE600E has gained a lot of attention from the public. When you talk about the LED televisions in particular, the LE600E is claimed to be the least power consuming TV if ever there was one. As the TV has to maintain its slim body, it consumes less energy and works efficiently, just like us human beings. With a power consumption of just 89 W, the Aquos LC46LE600E is very eco friendly and also pretty much very monetarily friendly since it saves you lots of bucks. It consumes even lesser power when it is in the off mode, wherein the power consumption drops to almost zero. All this stuff is due to the fact that the LED lights do not need much electricity for their working. The TV is also made of fewer materials that cause harm to both the environment and human beings, like mercury. To achieve this, Sharp has applied for the European Commission’s EU Eco label. So, your pocket stays a little heavier all the time.

Warranty:

The customers of the Sharp Aquos LC46LE600E are provided with a parts and labour warranty for a period of one year from the original date of purchase. A warranty card will be issued at the time of the purchase of the TV and it has to be produced again at the service centre if you wish to avail the warranty service. If any of the parts of the TV malfunctions, then you can either take the TV yourself to the service centre or call the expert for help. For simple problems, you will be advised directly on the phone and you yourself can solve the problem with the guidance of the experts. But of the problem is felt as a more complex one, then it will be taken care of by a trained technician. The complete terms and conditions are mentioned in the warranty card itself and the users are requested to go through it thoroughly at the time of purchasing.

Verdict:

The very look of the Sharp Aquos LE600E makes it a buyable LED television. The very attractive design of it makes it look very apt for any kind of environment. As we have already seen, the display is very good and the technology used is fine, although not the best available. And also though the features are not many in number, they are good enough to be ranked among the very best. The new technology used by Sharp is quite interesting and it is definitely going to take the Aquos LC46LE600E to higher levels. The performance aspect of the TV is more than satisfactory. Both the audio and video came out to be very good. Even though the video technology is one step behind the latest one available, this can be accepted since this TV is quite cheaper when compared to the other LED televisions in the market, especially from LG and Samsung. But on the whole, it is a pretty good LED television, if you are especially looking for one. But if you plan to have just an LCD TV, you can look at other options as well since the LED televisions are a bit costlier than the LCD TVs.
