Best Projection TV Buying GuideWhen it comes to TVs, many argue about which is the best projection tv set on the market. While it is difficult to say that one certain projection TV is the best in the world, it is easy to see when a certain company offers a whole range of superb projection TV sets. Sony, a name in electronics it is impossible not to have heard about, has launched its latest series of rear projection TVs, covering all the available diagonal sizes, from 37 inches up to the huge 60 inch screens. In total, Sony has launched six brand new projection TV to complete its series. In the next few months, Sony has promised yet another two models, making its range of projection TV sets into perhaps the most complete and varied on the market today. Sony has constantly developed its digital television range, no matter if it was its WEGA LCD TV series, its plasma series or its brand new rear projection TV range. They have brought several innovations to the market, all aimed to improve image quality and sound accuracy for an overall enhanced multimedia experience. Sony's entire range of rear projection TVs is HDTV compliant, meaning that they offer the best resolution and image quality for the industry's most demanding movies. Sony has employed its SXRD technology into its line of projection TVs, where SXRD stands for Silicon X-tal Reflective Display, a technology meant to improve the screen's visibility in day light and to provide accurate black levels. Sony also offers several large screen projection TVs, such as their 60 inch KDS-Z60XBR5 and the 70 inch KDS-Z70XBR5 models, units that are among the largest rear projection TVs on sale today. While they offer incredible image quality and a superb resolution, you should expect to pay a premium price for these two models. However, all their models, from the smallest and compact units to their largest models have the same excellent specifications when it comes to contrast figures, brightness levels and the accuracy of the displayed colors. The Sony Wega line of TVs offer digital filters to enhance video signal coming from less than ideal sources (such as old cables, older video CD players) and to improve the signal coming from digital sources. Sony's LCoS chip is responsible to handling and improving the video and audio signal that reaches the TV and it is currently being implemented into Sony's plasma TV range. Sony have replaced the traditional halogen or incandescent lamps in their projection TV sets with powerful LEDs, making their image brighter, enlarging their lifespan and reducing the amount of noise due to smaller cooling fans. However, as with every new technology, such models are still very expensive. Samsung is another rear projection TV manufacturer that has used LEDs in their units, signaling that eventually this could become the industry's standard. In addition to these features, Sony's range of projection TVs also offer HDMI input for high fidelity video players and it's BRAVIA technology, standing for a series of digital filters used to improve the image's aliasing due to resolution scaling. |
