HT VIDEO & ACCESSORIES (THE BEST OF SHOW - to me)
I’ve saved the best display (to me) for the end, because I
only saw it at the end of the second day that I was at CES. This
shows huge potential, even though it’s only in the prototyping
stage right now. I walked by this Samsung 50” DLP, and realized
that I didn’t see any rainbows on this screen. I then saw the
sign that this DLP was driven by LEDs instead of a bulb. I then
saw the sign that stated 100,000:1 contrast ratio. OK, I was
intrigued! Luckily I found a sales rep that was somewhat
technical, and he told me that the reason for the lack of
rainbows (only 1% of people can see rainbows on this LED DLP)
that the LEDs are being strobed in sync with the internal color
wheel. This greatly reduces rainbows, and the pulsing of the
LEDs also takes the contrast ratio way up. While I didn’t view
the unit in a critical environment, to me it was the best of
show as far as display devices go. The only catch right now? The
$70,000 price tag attached to this unit!
