Δεν ξέρω αν έχει απαντηθεί σε προηγούμενες σελίδες, αλλά ξέρουμε τι παίζει με τις σειρές 7 και 8 στις πλάσμα; Υπάρχει καμία περίπτωση να τις δούμε εδώ ή όχι;
Although its lower-than-usual resolution (and yes, we can say that now that nearly every HDTV on the market is 1920x1080!) doesn’t allow it to reproduce the same detail as a 1920x1080 panel, and although it lacks a 96hz output mode for judder-free Blu-ray playback, the Samsung PS51E490 is priced lowly enough, and gets enough else right, to warrant a recommendation. Samsung’s PS51E550 can be had for roughly over £100 more, which may be a worthwhile up-sell for users who predominantly watch movie material (hopefully we’ll get the chance to have a good look at one soon). However, for users on tighter budgets, especially those who want an affordable, fast display for console video gaming, then the PS51E490 is a good choice.
The Samsung UE40ES6300 is a good LCD-based HDTV. Having reviewed countless LCD panels over the years, its performance is not really surprising. Its out-of-the-box performance in the best preset, the “Movie” mode, is adequate but leaves room for improvement (our review sample had a blue tint, but this will vary from panel to panel). For users with access to calibration devices, or for users who are going down the professional calibration route, the ES6300 has a great selection of controls which allow quirks like this to be eradicated, with all the controls for performance finetuning by an ISF/THX calibrator included. On top of this, it has a good selection of internet-based Smart TV features.
Speaking bluntly, every different type of LCD display (VA, IPS, TN) on the market today has problems of one sort or another, while competing display technologies (for example, Plasma) also have their quirks. Plasma is where Samsung are really exciting us lately, though, with year-on-year improvements – in comparison, we don’t feel LCD’s picture quality has improved much at all over the last few years. So we can end on a high note, though, input lag for video gaming has been decreased from last year, allowing a better sense of immersion with fast-paced games (for example, online first person shooters). The charges levied against the UE40ES6300 consist of less-than-perfect screen uniformity, and the usual VA-LCD problem of poor contrast and colour saturation when the screen is viewed off-axis. Commonly for LCDs operating in 3D mode, there is some motion stuttering with 24p (Blu-ray 3D) and 50hz (European broadcast) 3D material.
On the positive side, the 3D display mode is full resolution (unlike a Series 6 LCD we saw last year!), motion performance is good (although not top-tier), and the same goes for the panel’s contrast performance. Provided you comply with the usual LCD rule of only sitting face-on with the display, the 40ES6300 is capable of putting out high quality video, and as such, comes recommended for anyone looking for an LCD TV in this price range.
