    BOE to Start Mass Production of RGBW Ultra HD TV panels in 2014

    BOE, the panel maker based in China may possibly start mass production of affordable RGBW Ultra HD TV panels by the second half of 2014. These reports are in accordance with the industry rumors.

    LG Display was previously projected to be the chief fabricator of the technology in 2014 as part of LG’s plan to compete alongside Taiwan manufacturers in the low-cost Ultra HD TV panel subdivision. Conversely, as BOE continues to increase its merchandise, the establishment is now seemingly eyeing the low cost HD TV technology, with an intention to go into mass manufacture sometime within the subsequent half of the year.

    However, there have been mixed thoughts from market surveyors on the production of the low-cost HD TV panels. This is due to different frequencies used as likened to high-end pieces. Regardless of this, Ultra HD TV panel consignments are projected to reach 13-15 million entities in 2014, with Innolux estimated to vessel over and above half.

    Innolux has strategies in place to ship an assortment of Ultra HD TV panels in 2014 oscillating in magnitudes from 40-, 42-, 50-, 58-, 65-, 75-, and 85-inch, as well as 50-, 58- and 65-inch.

    In the intervening time, Digitimes Research freshly reported that Korea-based manufacturers will most probably alternate the frequency of the panels to 60Hz and adjust the RGBW sub-pixel preparations as to lessen the costs.

  • 4K: Is Ultra HD the Next Big Step?


    The next advancement in the TV sector is already here and when compared to the standard HDTV, it makes it seem faint and overrated. The new technological format known as 4K was primarily designed for digital cinema projections due to its high resolutions. Compared to a 1080 HD TV, 4K offers up to four times the HD resolution. Due to this high resolution, 4K TVs are very expensive but the prices have already started rationalizing.

    According to CES 2014 show, 4K is the next big thing in the TV sector and that is why many manufacturers are trying to shift to this new product so as to attract the demand market. When used in digital cinema projections, 4K delivers up to 4096×2160 pixels of quality images. However when put in a TV, the resolution changes to 3840×2160 pixels which is 4 times more than the standard HD resolution. Since its resolution is more than that of the standard HD TV but less that 4K resolution, it is termed as the Ultra HD TV.

    With the 4K resolution and the Ultra HD resolutions being slightly different, the 4K cinema pictures will have to be scaled down or chopped off at the sides. This means that you will lose 6 percent of the image on both sides of the screen. In spite of the differences between 4K and Ultra HD, It has been noted that Ultra HD provides a certain leap from the standard TV in terms of image sharpness and detail. Switching to Ultra HD is the next step in the industry, profiting not only to the buyers but also the manufacturer.

  • Hilarious Reviews For Samsung’s $40,000 HDTV on Sale on Amazon


    Often whenever people purchase products from Amazon, they write a short review of the product. This is true for a Samsung TV that is for sale for $39,997.99. By viewing the Amazon site, the TV actually looks like quite a deal.

    The 85-Inch Samsung TV is 4K Ultra HD and has a micro dimming for the best possible picture quality. The TV also has a smart TV voice control that allows people to interact with streaming content as well as the web. The price has been reduced by more than $5,000 and 2 AA batteries are included as well as free shipping.

    So which customers can buy this? Well, we are not sure but there are already 613 people who have written reviews and rated it with 4.2 out of 5. However, we are guessing… that most of these reviews are not genuine, but are hilarious:

    My wife and I bought this after selling our daughter Amanda into white slavery. We actually got a refurbished. It's missing the remote, but oh well– for $10K off, I can afford a universal, right? – James O. Thach

    At first I hesitated to make the purchase, but then I saw the two AA batteries were free with the remote, and I was all in! Having this really fills in that empty space we called a bathroom! – Cheryl A. Gustafson

    I am very thankful that it has low energy costs as I am on a very tight budget. – Nick

    So much better than the crappy 84" we used to have. – Guy Hutchinson.

    Check out all the reviews here. 

    If you are not able to afford the discounted version, there are two used sets that are available for $31,499 as well as two refurbished ones that are available for $35,000. If you need a new one, there are only three left on the shelf. However, Amazon indicated that there are more on the way in case you are searching for stocking stuffers.

  • 4K: The Future of HDTV

    Technology continues to change almost at the speed of thought. Go back half a decade, and the HDTV was the height of the home theater experience. Then 3D HDTVs came out, and users around the world rushed out to bring one home. But now 4K HDTVs are right around the corner, and will again change the home viewing experience forever.

    Also known as either Ultra HD or Super HD, the 4K refers to the horizontal resolution of the device. That means you’ll get nearly 4,000 pixels on the diagonal, and almost 2,000 pixels vertically. That adds up to a total of nearly eight million pixels. So sitting in front of a 4K set will give viewers the experience of watching the combined power of four HDTVs at the same time.

    The industry hasn’t yet created a real standard for the 4K HDTV. You’ll find Quad HD (3840 x 2160) and 4K/2K (4096 x 2160), and additional options for projectors and cameras. The 4K HDTV was the brainchild of Hollywood, looking for a way to create more options for the current crop of digital visionaries. The recent “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” remake was screened in 4K, and it seems that more and more films will follow suit.

    Once the 4K HDTV hits the living room, it will truly change the home screening experience. The problem will be content. There just isn’t much out there that will take full advantage of the resolution. Ideally, new programming will arise, but there is no timetable for that.

    Size and price may also be an issue for many consumers. The 4K HDTVs that are now being shown off are all at least 84-inch displays, and are going to hit the market at costs over $20,000. And according to tech experts, the ideal screen size for the 4K set would be 25 feet. So until it becomes more prevalent, only the richest and most dedicated viewers will be able to enjoy this new technology.
