Sony, Samsung, LG, and Toshiba all announced 3D-compatible HDTVs at this year’s CES, but Panasonic has made the most noise about the technology. The company began touting an extra dimension at last year’s CES, and this year it has finally announced a shipping date for its first 3D plasma TV. Dubbed the VT25 series, it’s expected to be released in the spring. It will be among the first 3D-capable flat-panel HDTVs available for sale in the U.S.The set will include one pair of 3D glasses–every other 3D set announced at the show, save Sony’s XBR-LX900 series, lacks included glasses. Also, like all other makers, Panasonic will employ an active LC shutter system. The right and left lens in the glasses alternately darkens and lightens, too quickly to perceive, while the TV synchronously displays the corresponding right- and left-eye-specific images. The result is a stereoscopic 3D effect that, in the case of the VT25 mated to full-resolution 3D content, preserves all 1,920×1,080 (1080p) pixels for each eye–hence Panasonic’s term “Full HD 3D.”Toshiba and Samsung have announced 2D to 3D conversion systems with their sets, which purport to create a 3D effect with standard 2D material; however, Panasonic avoids such processing tricks with the VT25. The only way to get 3D out of this TV (at least until 3D-upconverting players come along) is to mate it to a true 3D source, which means a 3D-compatible Blu-ray player playing a 3D disc, or a cable or satellite box tuned to a 3D channel. Such hardware-content combinations are nonexistent today, but given the preponderance of 3D related announcements at CES–including Panasonic’s own DMP-BDT350–they won’t be for long. We’ll take a closer look at 3D after the show, but in the meantime, Panasonic’s 3D HD Web site provides a good overview–as long as you can stomach the inevitable boosterism.

Aside from 3D, the VT25 is separated from step-down models in Panasonic’s lineup by the inclusion of Infinite Black Pro, which we assume improves upon the already excellent black level performance found on current Panasonic plasma TVs. The company lists the same 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio (for what it’s worth) for both the Pro and non-Pro versions of the feature, so we’ll have to wait for a review sample to see how black this latest Panasonic can get.

The VT25 also offers ISFccc, a protocol to help professional calibrators home in on the perfect picture, and an RS-232 port for custom installations.

Update January 8, 2010: We asked Panasonic’s rep whether the the new TVs, like the current V10 series, would include a 96Hz refresh rate, to better display native 1080p/24 content. We were told that the VT25 would have a 96Hz option, but that the new G25 and G20 models would have the same flicker-prone 48Hz refresh rate option found on the current G10 models. See the review of the Panasonic TC-PG10 series for details.

Aside from these differences, its feature set is identical to that of the company’s TC-PG25 series, so check out that write up for more information on the other features below.

Panasonic TC-PVT25 features:

• 3D compatible
• Includes one pair of 3D glasses
• Infinite Black Pro
• ISFccc mode
• THX certified
• VieraCast interactive suite adds Netflix, Pandora, Twitter, and Fox Sports to previous content

Vizio captured our attention with its “Via” platform of interactive applications, and while it still hasn’t shipped a Via-equipped TV–the VF552XVT should appear later this month, according to the company–Vizio has announced the imminent arrival of improved versions, which it calls the VT Pro series.

What’s different? The three-model XVT Pro series delivers that trendy buzzword, 3D, and the company claims its 3D technology, which employs Sensio XpanD shutter glasses, surpasses that of other 3D purveyors. We’ll be sure to test that claim when we can review one.

Vizio has also upped the number of zones on its local-dimming LED backlight, from 80 on the VF552XVT to 120 on the same-sized XVT Pro model, the 55-inch XVTPRO550SV. The larger, 72-inch model gets 480 zones, whereas the 47-incher gets 160 (that’s not a misprint; per Vizio’s press release it does have more zones than the larger 55-incher). More zones generally equals less blooming, although in our review of the VF551XVT (another 80-zone model) blooming was not a major problem.

The company incorporates the same extra-high refresh rate, 480Hz, that we saw announced by LG and Toshiba on their respective flagship HDTVs this year. Like those models, we expect the Vizio employs a scanning backlight in conjunction with conventional motion estimation and motion compensation technology. It sounds like a mouthful, but we don’t expect much of an improvement in motion resolution over standard 240Hz models.

In addition to built-in Wi-Fi, which is also found on the VF552XVT, the XVT Pro series has another wireless trick up its sleeve. The TV has a built-in wireless receiver that can communicate with an optional base station via a 60GHz signal, designed to minimize interference with other wireless devices and preserve the full resolution of 1080p. The station has four HDMI inputs, and when you plug your gear in it can send the picture and sound to the TV without wires. A similar optional wireless system is available on LG’s models, and we like the idea.

Notably, Vizio is the only TV maker to actually announce pricing on a 3D-compatible TV. It even went so far as to promise a release date. The company has a history of inaccuracy on both counts, but at least it’s given prospective TV shoppers something to work with. And with the 72-inch model going for $3,500, it’s given other manufacturers something to shoot for. Vizio XVT Pro features:

• full-array LED backlight with local dimming
• 3D compatible
• 480Hz refresh rate
• Via interactive functionality with Amazon Video on Demand, Netflix, Rhapsody, Twitter, VUDU, Yahoo TV Widgets and more
• Optional-in Wi-Fi connection
• Optional wireless HDMI base station

Vizio XVT Pro models:

• Vizio XVTPRO720SV: 72-inch, available August 2010, $3499 MSRP
• Vizio XVTPRO550SV: 55-inch, available August 2010, $2499 MSRP
• Vizio XVTPRO470SV: 47-inch, available August 2010, $1999 MSRP

FULL HD3D ™

Utilizing SENSIO® 3D technology to deliver 3D content over conventional 2D infrastructure, the new VIZIO XVT Pro Full HD3D TVs display stunning 3D content that the user can view with XpanD active-shutter glasses (sold separately). Unlike other 3D TVs that use passive stereoscopic imaging, VIZIO’s Full HD3D TVs can display full 1080p video to each eye by rapidly alternating between the left-eye and right-eye images within the same visual space. The special active-shutter glasses, which communicate with the television over Bluetooth, then transform each lens from opaque to transparent in perfect synchronization with the images displayed on the TV, which allows for delivery of the full frame rate capable by the television for the ultimate 3D HDTV viewing experience.

These sets can produce 3D images from SENSIO encoded material on conventional DVD and Blu-ray players, as well as from future distribution channels such as pay per view, video on demand, DTV and HDTV broadcasts.

“We are pleased to be working closely with VIZIO and be a part of the creation of a substantial install-base of consumers ready to watch 3D movies, live concerts, and sporting events from the comfort of their home,” states Nicholas Routhier, President and Chief Executive Officer of SENSIO Technologies.

“We are excited to partner with VIZIO as catalysts in the 3D revolution for the home,” said Maria Costeira, CEO of XpanD. “The combination of XpanD Cinema active-shutter glasses and Vizio displays will provide an immersive, dynamic and cost-effective solution for VIZIO XVT Pro owners.”

Wireless HDMI

Eliminating the need for an HDMI cable from source components to the display, the 72″, 55″ and 47″ XVT Pro Series have an integrated Wireless HDMI receiver built-in, using SiBEAM’s robust 60 GHz technology to receive HD content from high definition sources such as Blu-ray players or set-top boxes with full HD 1080p resolution when paired with a separately available VIZIO XVT Pro Wireless HDMI Adapter. The XVT Pro Adapter supports up to 4 HDMI sources and operates at 60GHz to avoid interference with other wireless devices in the home like cordless telephones and wireless networks that operate at 2.4 and 5 GHz.

SRS StudioSound HD

VIZIO XVT Pro TVs will feature SRS StudioSound HD – the ultimate all-in-one audio suite designed specifically for Flat Panel TVs. Years of excellence in audio, practical experience and patented technologies allow StudioSound HD to deliver the most immersive and natural surround sound ever using built-in TV speakers. The suite also delivers remarkably crisp and clear dialog, rich bass, an elevated sound stage and consistent, spike-free volume levels. StudioSound HD features optimized audio presets for movies, news, sports and music while also providing a built-in EQ toolset for peak audio performance.

VIZIO INTERNET APPS™ (VIA)

All of the XVT Pro sets feature the VIZIO INTERNET APPS™ (VIA) Connected HDTV platform, delivering unprecedented choice and control of web-based content directly to the television without the need of a PC or set-top box. Able to connect to the Internet using the built-in high definition wireless (802.11n dual-band) or a wired connection, accessing on demand movies, TV episodes, music and other online content is easy, using the included Bluetooth universal remote control with sliding QWERTY keyboard that makes thumb-typing easy.

58″ Cinema Wide Display

Taking a major step forward in enabling viewers to experience a fully immersive widescreen film experience without a separate projector and screen, VIZIO’s first Cinema Wide Display, the XVTPRO580CD offers the ultimate experience for the movie enthusiast. This 58″ Razor LED display has a 21×9 aspect ratio, with an incredible resolution of 2560 x 1080p, allowing consumers to view 2.35:1 “Scope” aspect ratio films using the entire display area, with no loss of resolution and no black bars. With 1 million to 1 Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio™, Smart Dimming™, and 120 Hz with Smooth Motion technology, the XVTPRO580CD delivers brilliant details and rich colors to bring the cinematic experience into the home.

Wireless power has gone from lab prototype to working product in a little over 18 months, and Haier stuck MIT’s WiTricity into a TV along with WHDI wireless video for complete wirelessness. Complete. Wireless. Ness.

Sure, there’s a big power unit on the wall, radiating (totally harmless) RF into the back of the TV, which has a coil inside to receive the juice. It only delivers full strength if it’s parallel, so you have to plan ahead and somehow setup the TV in front of the wall that has the power module. Because of all the hocus pocus, the TV itself is a chunkster, and that power transmitter is no slim jim either.

Still, the idea is a good one, and the promise – as both MIT and Intel work their asses off getting wireless power up to snuff – is real.

WHDI is a lot further along in development. Wireless HDMI isn’t exactly household, but the tech is now supported by basically all of the biggest CE companies except Panasonic. I’m not going to buy this Haier TV – it might not even be for sale this year – but it’s not a concrete sign of what’s to come.

In one of the coolest unveils at the show (CES 2010), Samsung has announced the 9000 series, which is only 0.3 inches thick.

Specs are fuzzy at the moment, but what we know and a bunch more images of this incredible TV after the jump.

What we do know is that the 9000 series will be LED edge lit, 3D capable, and have built in wireless.

If the thickness of the TV didn’t impress you, the remote sure will.

Not only is it a touchscreen, it’s actually another TV. So you can watch TV while you watch TV. Or watch a different channel on the remote. Or countless other possibilities with apps from Samsung’s new App store.

No real specs or a release date yet, but a Samsung representative I spoke to did assure me it’s a real product. Coolness.

The NVU65 projected high quality the moment I unpacked it. There is no plastic or flashy trim here. The bezel is medium silver in color with a brushed finish and is made entirely of aluminum. The silver bezel is a limited edition item. The normal color is black brushed aluminum. The base is also a heavy metal casting. Even the rear cover is metal. Badging on the lower right and left is minimal with a small NuVision logo and a one-inch strip containing status lights and the IR sensor. On the right side of the TV are buttons for power, channel, volume, menu and input. The panel weighs over 140 pounds and as such, I needed a strong friend to help me lift it up and onto the tabletop stand. I expect this TV will most commonly be hung on the wall. At less than four inches thick the NVU65 is a natural for on-wall installations.

All inputs and connectors face downward and are recessed for easy cable management. There are four HDMI, two component video, two S-video and two composite video inputs. There is a 15-pin VGA input for a computer. Audio connections include two speaker level outputs via spring tabs and a coax digital output which supports Dolby Digital and PCM. NuVision does not include speakers with the NVU65 leaving that choice to the integrator. The on-board amps are rated at 10 watts per channel. Also included are analog stereo outputs. Finally there is an RF input for a cable or antenna feed. The lone control input is called NuControl Card. This is an RJ-45 connector that carries bi-directional RS232, and IR.

The NVU65FX5 features a 120 Hz refresh rate. This is fairly common with modern LCD panels but not every manufacturer does it right. NuVision fortunately does. 60 frames-per-second (fps) material is displayed using a 2:2 cadence to achieve 120 Hz. Film-mode material originating at 24 fps from Blu-ray disc can be played with a 5:5 cadence where each frame is repeated five times or you can turn on the frame interpolation feature which NuVision calls Frame Forward Motion (FFM). When this is engaged, the NVU65 compares one frame to the next and creates four new frames to fill in the missing information. The three available settings; low, medium and high; control the degree to which the smoothing is applied. Low only adds frames in fast action sequences. High always adds frames, and medium falls somewhere in between.

The remote is one of the best I’ve ever seen included with a TV. It has a metal faceplate and a thick rubberized back. The buttons have a nice soft feel and click with the extra quality usually found in high-end products. This is one of the rare remotes that include discrete input buttons. There isn’t one for HDMI 4 but I suspect that is because this remote is included with other NuVision models that only have three HDMI inputs. A discrete code for HDMI 4 is supported through the RS-232 interface. The volume and channel buttons are shared with menu navigation. The Day and Night buttons toggle presets for the backlight level. You can also leave the backlight on Auto so it changes with the level of room light. Also included are buttons for the different aspect ratios and PIP functions. You can also freeze the image at any time. Pressing Display brings up info about the current input, input resolution, and refresh rate. One omission is a single for the 1:1 pixel mode. To set this you have to press Enter and 3.

The NuVision NVU65FX5 really impressed this diehard plasma fan. It did extremely well on the bench and produced a very accurate and contrasty image. Video processing was top-notch and the display had all the features anyone would need without the gimmicky ones found on many TVs today. Styling and build quality was also top-notch. This TV would fit right in to a luxury media room. Considering this is an exclusive boutique product it’s priced very competitively. With its prodigious light output, it will work in any environment. By simply lowering the backlight, it’s equally capable of showing a movie in an otherwise darkened room.

Laser TV – What Is It?

There is much hype around this type of TV, yet the technology has been around for a number of years. The term Laser TV refers to the principle of literally firing a laser onto the inside of a TV screen in order to produce an excellent quality image. This process is more efficient in producing an image compared to our current plasma and LCD TVs. When you consider the range of colors that are visible to the a human eye (known as color gamut), plasma and LCD can only manage to produce 40% of these colors, whereas laser TV technology can produce an excellent 90%.

The Technology Behind Laser TV

Lets take a simple look at the principle behind the technology, to truly understand how it works.

Current TV technology produces red, green and blue light (RGB). In principle it is possible to combine these three colors to produce a complete full range of visible colors, however in reality, visual displays are only capable of displaying a limited range of these colors. However, in a Laser TV, three distinct wavelengths are used, these are simply light beams which project accurately and brightly onto the screen, producing brilliant blacks.

The whole technology is based around the principle of projection, with this in mind Laser TVs are a perfect improvement on our current rear projection TVs, these are TVs whose images are projected from the rear of the TV on to the back of the screen. A typical rear projection display tends to measure from 50 inchs to 100 inches and are regularly used in public spaces. It is the ultra High Performance Lamp (UHP) which is the basis for the technology, however laser technology essentially replaces this and as a result very much suits the larger screen size.

What Laser TVs Are Available To Buy?

Mitsubishi became the first manufacturer ever to make a commercial Laser TV available to consumers in stores in November 2008. Aptly named Laservue, this TV was priced at around $7,000. A little pricey for today’s market. The Laservue is available in 65 inch or 73 inch versions and is also 3D ready and as you would expect these days it is perfect for wall mounting.

Rumors of Toshiba entering the market are spreading rapidly. Whether many other manufacturers wish to enter the race remains to be seen.

LASER TV vs. OLED – How They Stack Up?

To be honest, as the two technologies stand at the moment, Laser TV is suited to one end of the TV market and OLED the other. Laser TV technology currently suits the large display market and at present OLED technology suits the smaller display market, of course this will change as both develop over time. The two technologies are not yet going head to head in the TV market.

Take a look at the features of each:

LASER TV:
– Wider range of colors displayed (roughly doubling standard HDTV’s)
– The intensity of the laser is maintained for the lifespan of the TV, meaning a high
  quality image is maintained throughout the life of the TV, unlike current HDTV
  technology

- Laser TVs utilize roughly a quarter of power used by current TV technology

- Laser TVs tend to be half the weight of current HDTV’s

- First TV commercially available in 65 and 73 inch versions

OLED TV:
- Excellent image quality at 1000000:1 contrast ratio
– Better image quality means wider viewing angle of 180 degrees
– Ultra thin screens measuring 3mm thin
– Power consumption is less that current technology since no backlight is required

- First TV commercially available in 11inchs

Â

So What Are The Disadvantages?

There always seems to be a worry around any laser technology, scare mongers will raise issues around potential eye damage from a laser should a Laser TV become damaged. These concerns are yet to be proven. However it is suggested that special filters can be fitted within the TV to remove this potential fret.

Another concern is the speckle effect. Laser TV technology can produce an effect on the human eye which resembles speckling, this is caused by a number of waves joining together to produce a wave with varying intensity. This issue is being addressed by manufacturers, expect this to be overcome in near future.

Which Technology Wins? – Laser Or OLED

Laser TVs are on sale now and available to all….well to most, if your bank balance can support it and your home is large enough. If this suits your circumstance then laser TV is a possibility for you at this time. OLED TV is cheaper by comparison, but not at the prices the average consumer would be happy with and screen sizes do not reflect what we have become used to for our homes.

As yet, laser technology has a way to develop, as more manufacturers take up the challenge. Prices should decrease and so will screen sizes. Likewise OLED screen sizes are set to increase. There does seem to be more of a buzz and excitement in the industry around OLED. Image wise these two technologies are truly head and shoulders above the rest and once these TVs truly develop and become TVs we can afford and want in our homes then there could be more of a head to head battle.

Which technology is better you ask? Considering all other factors, at this stage, it is just  too early to tell.
