Displays with local dimming system are the new frontier in Liquid Crystal devices, performing an amazing contrast ratio and the darkest black ever.
Do you remember when LCD televisions were looked down as the “poor relatives” around image reproduction, crushed by plasma models and by the good old cathode ray tube
Those times are technologically far away, even though not so many years have gone by. Liquid Crystal Technology has definitely filled the gap that was separating it from its competitors and at the moment it seems to have the weapon of choice to be the winner in the war on quality.
The ace up the sleeve is called “Local Dimming” and it works with a LED backlight.
It makes look old and tired not only the plasma devices (being the Crt TV out of the scene) but also the LCD displays begin to look not so fit anymore...

With its smart black surround, the Samsung LE40A686M1 40 LCD HD ready digital TV really does look the business. With an enormous contrast ratio of 50000:1 and 1080p Full HD, you'll enjoy a fantastic picture, even in dark scenes. Four High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connections, all supporting v.1.3, make your TV a multimedia centrepiece. Samsung's LCD 100Hz converts the amount of images intelligently from 50 to 100 frames per second by inserting a frame between each two frames. This allows for smoother moving images during fast moving scenes, and will appeal to sports fans who don't want to miss a thing when the action picks up.

For the past two weeks, I have been testing out the AURIA EQ2288F 22” LCD HDTV, and I have to say for a brand I have not heard of before it is a pretty nice TV, the picture quality is great and it is very easy to set up and it looks great too. I was a bit disappointed in how easy it was to setup, maybe it is just me but I like to spend a good 20 to 30 minutes setting up the TV, but with one HDMI cable I had it all hooked up in less than a minute. For those of you who are unfamiliar with HDMI, the cable delivers both High-Def video and sound to your television. auria TVThe EQ2288F has an eligant modern design to it, that will probably look good in any room with any decor as you can see from the picture to the right. When I first turned on the TV I was impressed by the picture quality, it’s a great picture especially in HD. The sound quality however when I first turned on the TV wasn’t that great, it kind of sounded like they used notebook speakers in it, but after going into the settings menu, I saw that the sound settings were a bit off and after tweaking the settings back into what I thought was an acceptable range the sound was much better and clear. My guess is the person that reviewed it before me fiddled with the settings without returning them to their original state. So I think what I experienced is a non issue, however if you buy this television and the sound is off a bit, tweak the sound settings in the menu and see if that helps.

We have done quite a few LCD TVs over the years, many from Samsung, but rarely do we go below 32-inchers. Now with budget constraints being the norm due to the recession fad, w have decided to shift the scanner to nice and prim small screen LCD TVs, something you can keep in your bedroom or double up as a monitor for your PC. Samsung sent us unique model form their new A series: the LA22A480. Design This model has a lot of different elements in its design, at least unlike the regular lager screen brethren of Samsung. Firstly the bezel is very broad, thus this A480 model goes out the slim category LCD. The finish is still the same Samsung glossy piano black, which comes with its eternal guarantee for fingerprint-magnetism. The bottom panel is a bit old fashioned with a inward sloping speaker grille attached as the bottom edge.
