JVC

Posted by Charbax on 31st August 2007

JVC has their D-ILA technology which they use in their projectors and rear-projection TVs, and which they claim provides superior quality. Still JVC seems to be positionned well over DLP and 3LCD in terms of price. They also are launching a 1000-something dollar 1920×1080 interlaced 27mbit/s Mpeg2 hard drive based camcorder.

Toshiba SED

Posted by Charbax on 6th September 2006

I managed to get my camera in to the top secret SED screen demonstration area. Where all competing engineers are detected by agents and are not allowed in, where there are agents looking for anyone filming the screen during the show. The screen does look nice but even to my eye it kind of seems to flicker a little bit (maybe not more than a normal CRT screen). I wonder if they can fix up the refresh rate little bit before they begin mass production. So this is a competing large screen Full HD screen technology. Competes with Plasma, LCD, DLP and JVC’s HD-ILA. In this video I also get to interview one of the marketing responsible from Toshiba in their top secret dark demonstration room. According the representative, it will ship in 55″ full HD version in Q4 2007.

Tvix

Posted by Charbax on 6th September 2006

Their newest model supports H264 in HD. But they aren’t yet certified for HDCP, thus no HDMI output ports. They are showing a new DVB-T module that enables you to record the shows directly onto the 3.5″ harddrive which is inside the device or which is external on one of the usb2-host ports.
