Information about our 10/8-9/11 shoot-out

 

Bill Schindler presenting LED local dimming vs. plasma

D-Nice teaching gamma

Kevin Miller demonstrating motion resolution Kevin Miller reviewing screen uniformity
We exposed for the first time the following developments:

Joe Kane lent us his personally developed new test disc that has some test patterns that expose flaws never before seen. We had a way to diagnose errors in the color decoding and bit rate limitations of the 8 bit panels as well as incorrect processing to the 8 bit panel. These anomalies limit the professional calibrator, they also limit the out of box image quality.

Bill Schindler demonstrated how plasma technology enjoys the benefit over LCD in 3D of being able to see an additional dimension the consumer can view from any side and enjoy a richer 3D experience, even while laying down.

One of Joel Silver's and Kevin Miller's call to action was for higher bit rate panels.  Currently all panels are no more than 8 bit and some don't process the full or proper 8 bit signal. Joel was Skyped in on Panasonic 58" VT25 while Kevin and Joel reviewed the .pdf presentation displayed on the other shoot-out panels.  Joel showed and explained that Sharp owns 75% and Sony holds the remaining 25% stake in their LCD plant and then discussed Panasonic's new glass manufacturing facilities. Literally almost  1/2 trillion dollars of financial investments in the future of flat panels and great advancements in R&D and the manufacturing processes.

DeWayne, aka D-Nice, Kevin Miller and Ed Johnson reviewed and taught us what they look for in various test patterns.

Robert Zohn called for a standards to be established, likely by CEA or another standards organization to establish a method of measuring contrast ratio and have all manufacturer's publish only the approved contrast ratio standard. This way consumers can relay on this statistic when shopping. After all, this is the single most important attribute to deliver the best picture quality.

Here are the results of our 2010 shoot-out; pre is out of the box in THX or movie mode/post is after ISF calibration

 1. Panasonic TC-P58VT25 3D plasma  pre/post ISF calibration report

Don't select your next flat panel strictly based on who's in 2nd, 3rd and 4th place as they all almost tied for 2nd

Sony has a better picture straight on, but quality goes down rapidly when you move off-angle, some judges rated it #2, but the audiences voted in this order

 
2. Samsung PN58C8000 3D plasma  pre/post ISF calibration report

 3. LG 55LX9500 3D LCD/LED Edge Lit  pre/post ISF calibration report

 4. Sony KDL-55NX810 3D LCD/LED pre/post ISF calibration report

Don't count out the 5th and 6th place as they all almost tied for 3rd and in a few ways had superior attributes

When the audiences voted on the best picture quality Panasonic was the unanimous winner. Voting on LCD's split the votes between Sony and LG

 5. Samsung UN58C8000 3D LCD/LED Precision Edge Lit pre/post ISF calibration

 6. Sharp  LC-60LE925UN 3D LCD/LED pre/post ISF calibration report
