Three New Plasma TVs from JVC

Three New Plasma TVs from JVC 08/19/2004 03:13 PM

NEC JVC has three new high-definition plasma televisions coming out - two 42-inch models and a 50-inch. One of the 42-inchers, the GD-V422PCE, produces over a billion colors, which should make for a very nice, rich looking picture. They all are nice, of course, as far as plasma goes, plus each is capable of displaying a regular XGA source (1,024 by 760 pixels) if you wanted to use them as a giant monitor. Prices aren't announced yet, but I'd expect something in the $6,000 - 7,000 range for the 42-inch models, and way more than that for the 50.

I'm not really in a bad mood - I'm just blowing off steam. We've got morons up the wazoo crowding the streets of San Francisco to protest the war. It took me well over an hour to get to work this morning - when it normally takes ten minutes. I don't mind peaceful demonstrations - but the moment you get in my way, I get a little pissy. You don't like what we're doing in Iraq? Fine, it's your right as an American citizen to share your feelings with the public. But how is keeping me from my morning coffee going to change anything?! Why don't you get a Web site - like a normal person? Blog it, damn you. Just don't stand in between me and my Peet's....

Plasma Burn-in Oops

Plasma Burn-in Oops 01/06/2005 05:16 PM

WHO image rattles plasma TV owner: Not what you want out of an expensive TV.

[Bryant] Ayala of Bondurant [Iowa] said he noticed Monday night that the blue frame used by WHO-TV to warn viewers about winter weather closings appeared to have been burned into his recently purchased plasma screen.

A Web site called PlasmaTVBuyingGuide.com said that images can be burned into plasma TV screens, particularly when the image is displayed for more than a few minutes at a time. The problem is more common during the first 200 hours of use, according to the site.

Remember that this is why screensavers moved around originally — because of the mythical "burn in." Supposedly this problem was resolved for CRTs a long time ago, but I guess plasmas are still in their infancy.

Panasonic's New Plasma, LCD VIERA Lineup

Panasonic's New Plasma, LCD VIERA Lineup 04/06/2005 03:21 PM

Panasonic has introduced three new plasma and six new LCD TVs in Japan, all of which are in the VIERA line. Scheduled to be released on May 1st, the plasmas will be available in 50, 42 and 37 inch sizes, and the LCDs in 32, 26, 23 and 19 inch sizes. The most expensive set is 650,000 yen, and the cheapest 160,000 yen — I'll let you guess which models those correspond to. A point of interest for the plasma panels is the new "PEAKS" driver, resulting in a pretty nice 3,000:1 contrast ratio. There wasn't any mention of PEAKS being used on the LCDs. Also, the commercial image character for the new VIERAs will be Koyuki (of "Last Samurai" fame).

Panasonic 65" Plasma Touch Screen

Panasonic 65" Plasma Touch Screen 03/22/2005 04:46 PM

InfoSync World cleans up their CeBIT coverage with a piece on Panasonic's 65" Plasma HDTV with an infrared frame that turns it into an enormous touch screen. Referencing Minority Report far too many times, the reviewer tells us that Panasonic had developed some very specific weather tracking and aerial navigation software to take advantage of the touch capabilities. The great part is that the infrared unit is an independent frame around the television and Panasonic also makes a 42" and 50" model, so retrofitting your existing Plasma shouldn't be too difficult. It's USB-powered and accurate up to 2x2 millimeters. No word on price or availability, but a quick Google search pulled up a German Lycos catalog page with a price of about $5,150 for the 50" model.

I was wondering when this suit would happen.  Fujitsu was doing flat-panel plasma screens in the late 80's.  I remember thme saying to me "we have five year jump on competition."  So why haven't Fujitsu taken advantage of their leadership?

I must ask my old friend Furukawa-san.
