The most important cause for this is probable blow out of LCD TV’s that has LED backlighting. After the first appear of the LED technology in Samsung at last LED technology will be the dominant technology in the market. And this claim is empowered by Samsung’s, Philips’s and Sony’s new models.
By being the first user of LED Technology it looks like Samsung has the advantage. But Sony may dominate by it two special models. These models are X4500 and 40ZX1. By having LED Technology X4500 is the strongest series of the brand. And 40ZX1 claims that it is the slimmest 40 inch TV. There are clues that LED Technology will be dominant at Philips’s road map for 2009. Europe launches suggest new multi screen details. Plus to all these LG announced 55” LH9500 LCD TV as its first LED model during CES (Consumer Electronics Show).
If all this LED Technology LCD TV’s makes good impression until this years end we will be able to say that we are going to have better usage LCD TV technology.
For 2009 the most interesting process in TV world is the 21:9 aspect ratio. The ultra wide screen TV probably in the first three month will show up in Philips’ list. This 56” TV will have 2560×1080 resolution. This is an interesting progress for home theaters.
It looks like Samsung will launch the first Yahoo Widget Engine self-available TV. After this event we can say that the entire concept will get wider. The thing that makes Widget Engine this interesting is that the TV’s will be interactive with internet services and internet content including XML and JavaScript. The newest Samsung TV’s will support the internet applications like Flicker, Yahoo, You Tube, eBay and Showtime.
Of course TV’s won’t be effective like PC browsers. But they will be one step forward than the online Samsung TV that shows news and weather report.
Samsung LCD TV will be exceptional by using Yahoo Widget Engine. And this will go on for a time like this. But it’s evident that others brands won’t wait for so long to do something like this.
During CES, Sharp introduced the first Blu-ray TV. And it looks like these TVs will be in the market until the end of the year. Dvd TV’s couldn’t sell much but it doesn’t mean this technology won’t be needed by end users.
Slimness is the most important feature for 2009 for the televisions. It looks like the numbers for this feature will be unbelievable. Sony 40ZX1 LCD TV provides this by 9.9 mm thickness at the slimmest point. This TV will keep the record for a time but Samsung’s LED TVs are not seemed to be far from this record.
As long as we speak about slimness we can’t bypass OLED technology. The first TV that using this technology is Sony XEL-1 and it is only 3mm thick.
If we focus on lifestyle design on LCD televisions we can see that a late progress is appearing: cable free HD connection. This technology comes with Sony 40ZX1 as we mentioned it the first OLED TV. This LCD TV uses high speed transfer system to share a 1080 video from HD source. The only thing you will do is to connect the HD Sources to the receiver. Thus with no need of any cable between TV and the source you can transfer all the signals to the TV. And there will be no quality lost on the picture. Who doesn’t want this?
LG looks like will launch the first wireless LED TV in the second period of the year. Panasonic was making the test of the wireless system of its own before the Christmas.
