it's twice as nice in person...

i love the whole "no pictures" the the bottom left corner of the picture... jk thats a very nice screen.

DeX · 10th Jan 2007, 01:43

What's with the shrouds at the side of the screen? In any case it looks yummy.

Tulatin · 10th Jan 2007, 01:55

The shrouds are akin to those featured on professional displays - much like the ones you've seen some of the hardcore photo geeks use. Essentially, they serve to filter out ambient light to a degree, in order to maintain the colour in any light

If only I were wealthy.

I saw that right away.

The price is what dosent look nice but you get what you pay for.

DreamTheEndless · 10th Jan 2007, 04:11

Holy shiznit batman -

I can't believe how good that looks.

The nice thing about technology is that in 5 years or so these will be affordable....

tylerpestell · 10th Jan 2007, 06:54

I don't get it... How would the pictures do it any justice? Since more then likely you are using a standard monitor to view the picture of the great contrast ratio. It reminds me of the Bose commericials and they are like ... "Hear how great that sounds?" when they play the music through your TV's speaker.

I still want one!!! Little too expensive for my taste though.

BioSniper · 10th Jan 2007, 07:40

Surely though this wasn't much of a challenge as their LCD TV's are 5000:1 ? or am I totally missing the point?

Tim S · 10th Jan 2007, 08:15

heh, loving the no photography sign

There is no panel that exists that has anywhere near a 5000:1 contrast ratio.

Most panel manufacturers use the 'high dynamic contrast ratio' figure in the advertising specifications, which in all honesty is absolute nonsense and not representative of the actual real-world performance.

That is why if these Samsung panels are indeed 3000:1 then it's quite a technical achievement. It looks spectacular!

Any idea if Samsung were asked if these panels may be used on their HDTVs in the near future? I imagine with these prices though anything over 26" could be seriously expensive.

3000:1? Pah! I'm still waiting for my 120000:1 Brightside display to come on sale down at Dixons.

Tim S · 10th Jan 2007, 10:19

200,000:1 is an approximation (using the lowest 'lit' black level), since black is actually black on the BrightSide, meaning you get an infinite contrast ratio.

Sooo.. what IS their actual contrast ratio then? My Samsung manual states 5000:1 :/

What's the model #?

BioSniper · 10th Jan 2007, 11:24

LE32R72BX
I could swear it was in the manual but I can't find it.
I guess if its 5000:1 dynamic its more like 1600 static?

The website specifications as expected state the Dynamic Contrast Ratio is 5000:01:00 so it's actually more like 1000:1...

From what I understand, the uber-screen pictured at the bottom of the article uses the same technology as the brightside display.

Bladestorm · 10th Jan 2007, 12:09

Well, I think if any manufacturer is going to be the first to bring uber image quality to the table its a good bet it is samsung, of course if anyone is going to make you re-mortgage your house to afford it .. its samsung

TheoGeo · 10th Jan 2007, 12:25

whats the point in having a picture of a high contrast super, amazing, brilliantly bright display if your going to be viewing that picture on an average, low contrast (comparitively) current market display?

telling us to view those pictures full screen is kind of pointless, we wont be able to tell the difference.
