The wireless connection can also be used in conjunction with Blu-Ray players, cable or satellite receivers, or video game systems to provide a connection without the mess of multiple input wires attached to the television. Energy saving options are also included with a sensor that automatically detects its environment and adjusts brightness, contrast, and color levels accordingly to lower power consumption maintain consistent picture quality. The LE9500 also includes a unique remote system that has more in common with motion sensor peripherals than a standard remote: it has the traditional functionality expected from a remote control as well as motion sensitive options, gestures, and features streamlined buttons.

The Panasonic VIERA TX-P50V20B is an outstanding 50inch plasma television boasting a fabulous range of future proof technologies. The long list of features includes Freeview-HD and Freesat-HD tuners, a full HD 1080p panel, and Panasonics revolutionary NeoPDP 600Hz technology. The Panasonic VIERA TX-P50V20 also features fantastic networking capabilities thanks to its built in Wi-Fi Ready technology, Skype, DLNA certification, VIERA cast and Mp3 Playback.
The 50inch Panasonic TXP-50V20 plasma TV is one of the first to feature a freesat-HD tuner as well as the new Freeview-HD tuner. Freeview-HD is a new service from Freeview and has been built in to the slim and very attractive Panasonic TX-P50V20. Until now high definition (HD) has only been enjoyed via a satellite dish or fibre optic cable, Freeview-HD however, is the first HD service that uses a standard aerial connection. The service works in the same way as standard Freeview, you will still receive the standard radio and television channels but you will also have access to the free to view HD channels from the BBC and ITV Just like Freeview, Freeview-HD is contract and subscription fee free, offering you a free alternative to the pay to view services from Sky and Virgin Media. With the Freeview-HD service being free the Panasonic TXP50V20B makes high definition viewing more available to more people. As well as the Freeview-HD tuner the Panasonic TXP-50V20B also has a built in Freesat-HD tuner.
There is no doubt that Panasonic has never been inclined to add much in the way of design flair to their TV chassis. However, 2010 has seen the addition of some finer design lines and colours used. Whilst there are slimmer and more designer orientated plasma designs now available from its Korean rivals, the Panasonic offers an assured build quality and rugged no-nonsense approach to its looks. The bezel frame has straight lines between the vertical and horizontal arms with a silver strip along the top and bottom. The VT20 used an off bronze colour with its design and the V20 has the same looks but in a gun metal grey finish. As always the design aspect of any TV is a very subjective one but this reviewer actually prefers the V20 finish to that of the high end model. Even the provided table-top stand has the same paint finish as the bezel that gives the impression of a brushed metal finish; but it is in fact plastic like the bezel.
Even the Remote Control has a new colour for the V20 with a silver finish to complement the TVs design. This silver is lighter than that used on the bezel but still gives the V20 a nice touch. The remote is well laid out and is identical to those used with the VT20 and G20 models. I am glad that Panasonic saw fit to do away with the annoying ‘N’ button that basically scrubbed your settings if accidentally pressed. The rest of the main key choices are where you’d expect to find them and are easy to use. It is a shame, however, that the high-end screens, this year, don’t have some kind of machined metal remotes like the old Kuro’s did. This kind of approach makes it feel like a quality item, unlike the plastic remotes used here.

The newly launched Toshiba XL700-series Regzas are some of the Japanese company’s most promising LCD TVs by a mile. For starters, these panels are based on the latest LED-edgelit backlighting technology to output a high 3 million:1 dynamic contrast in an attractive 48mm-thin bezel. We also received news that there is built-in local dimming for enhancing black levels, which is an undocumented feature verified by a reliable source. This not only puts the XL700 Regzas in the same league as a handful of competing models like the LG LE7500, the Toshibas are easily one of the more affordable choices in the market.
Other performance-centric functions include ClearScan 100 Pro, AutoView and Resolution+. ClearScan 100 Pro provides a fast 100Hz refresh rate to minimize film judder and motion blur, while AutoView optimizes onscreen visuals on-the-fly by monitoring both room brightness and playback content. Rounding it up is Resolution+, which promises improved video-upscaling quality for standard-definition programs. On the multimedia front, added DLNA-compatibility facilitates MP3, JPEG and DivX streaming from remote PCs to complement its USB port and SD card slot (JPEG only). Networking is via Ethernet and there’s no Wi-Fi, unfortunately.
“With the Launch of LED-Backlit Series our LCD TV line-up has become stronger in India and now the customers have the choice to choose between LED -Backlit and CCFL -Backlit LCD TVs. With our Advanced Technology and Superior Design coupled with the imagery of Sachin, our brand ambassador is sure to place Toshiba at the helm of the FPD market in the country”, said Pranab Mohanty, Business Head, Consumer Product Division, Toshiba India on its launch.
The new Toshiba REGZA XL700 series LED TV comes in three sizes: 138.7cms (55XL700E), 117.5cms (47XL700E) and 106.7cms (42XL700E).
These LEDs feature slim design and come in metallic-feel finishing bezel. These LEDs are equipped with Toshiba’s proprietary Resolution+ technology, its blazing-fast 14-bit video processing and Meta Brain Premium Video Engine.

The ViewSonic VA1912wb’s design doesn’t stray far from the matte-black case that is standard issue for budget monitors; the only touch of color comes from the eight too-shiny, chrome adjustment buttons on the bottom bezel. The large, elliptical base isn’t heavy enough to keep the display from wobbling when you make even minor panel adjustments. Flexibility isn’t this monitor’s strong suit: the panel tilts 25 degrees back and 5 forward but offers no swivel, pivot, or height adjustment. The panel is suspended nearly four inches above the desktop–a good fixed height for most users. The display accepts DVI-D and VGA inputs (both cables are included), but it’s a tight squeeze to attach the connectors, and the only cable-management feature is a plastic cover that snaps over the connector area. We approve of disguising the plugs, but we wish ViewSonic had added a clip to tidy up the cables.When it comes to adjusting the image, the onscreen menu (OSM) is very easy to navigate, and the control panel offers all the buttons you need. There’s a dedicated mute button for the built-in speakers, but we wish that ViewSonic had also made the up/down arrow keys double as volume keys instead of quick-launch keys for brightness and contrast adjustments. As it is, you have to go through the OSM to adjust the volume. The speakers themselves sound quite full for built-ins, but their maximum volume is not terribly loud.

We saw smooth movement and good detail. Though, if you’re considering buying this display, be sure to check that your favorite games support the monitor’s somewhat unusual resolution; our official test game, Unreal Tournament 2004, did not. DVD playback showed a bit more digital noise than usual and somewhat orange-looking skin tones, but ghosting and streaking (blurred moving images) were within tolerable limits.
