LCD

The Swedx XV1-46 HDTV appears to be an eco-friendly gogglebox, however the jury’s still out on exactly how ecological it really is, especially as its wooden frame is its only green feature. Still, it must be better than plastic? Green aside, the TV is a 46-inch HDTV with an 8MS response time, a 1200:1 contrast ratio and HDMI connectivity. If you don’t like the idea of a huge wooden TV, Swedx also make smaller LCDs as little as 17-inches. In case you’re a bit picky as to what kind of bark you want adorning your TV, you’re even given the choice of one of four different types of wood.

Pioneer has unveiled three Kuro-branded HD LCD TVs - the 32-inch KRL-32V, 37-inch KRL-37V and 46-inch KRL-46V.
All of the new models feature an upscale design and come with a high-contrast front filter, three HDMI ports and 100Hz processing.
Design wise - the new launches boast a brushed titanium finish, under-mounted speakers and thin profile with a slim bezel.
The KRL-32V and KRL-37V rest upon a matte removable black swivel stand that provides a 15-degree swivel.
Both models can be operated by a hidden set of buttons on top, or using an aluminium preset remote control.
Pioneer adds that the trio deliver “HD ready 1080p”, 100Hz processing and a front filter that “enhances contrast, colour definition and sharpens the picture”.
It adds: “An automatic backlight adjustment function results in enhanced black levels and deep, accurate colours, while an additional ambient light sensor optimises on screen images according to the brightness of the room”.
The series boasts a viewing angle of 176 degrees from top to bottom and from left to right.
The 32-inch KRL-32V and 37-inch KRL-37V LCD TVs will be available in August while the 46-inch version will start shipping later this year.
No prices as yet.

We got a first glimpse of Mitsubishi’s brand new rear-projection-ish laser-based TV tech, LaserVue, back at CES, but now the sets are just about primed for action, and should be hitting store shelves, as previously noted, Q3 2008. LaserVue will debut in 65-inch and 73-inch, with the 65-inch version hitting the scene first. Mitsubishi is still pretty coy about what exactly makes the technology tick — other than the “zomg, lasers” aspect — but is quick to point out the 200 percent color gamut that LaserVue provides, more than twice that of most traditional HDTVs. The sets also run at 120Hz, and boast 500 nits of brightness. Head to head against LCD and plasma sets we had trouble finding the differences, other than the color depth (particularly in the reds, almost too much so, though we’re sure you can tweak that). Have no fear: the blacks are black, the brights are bright, and the viewing angle puts DLP to shame. That said, we’re hearing price points are going to be more comparable to plasma and LCD than DLP, so Mitsubishi might have its work cut out for it in convincing consumers that these new “chubby,” 10-inch thick TVs are the way to go. We’re not entirely convinced ourselves, though one aspect can’t be disputed: LaserVue draws under 200 watts, about half that of LCD and a third of plasma.

HANNspree are looking to gain influence away from your primary television set. Whilst you might have large screen in the lounge, your second (or third) TV may be aging a bit and HANNspree think they have the answer with the HT11. But does HANNspree rule in the bedroom? We find out.
The first most striking feature of the 19-inch LCD panel is its aspect ratio, using a 5:4 format, which is something of a surprise considering the gradual move to widescreen across both monitors and television panels. This is, however, common amongst cheaper LCD panels. The downside here is that many inputs you put into the set won’t naturally fit; you are left to make the decision to stretch, or accept things will be letterboxed, which is perhaps the preferred option.
However, this panel does have a native resolution of 1280 x 1024, so it fits well into not only the HD ready category, but also into the PC monitor end, which is where we think this TV really lies.
