Plasma business is still growing, according to LG

LG has announced that the utilisation ratio of its plasma display lines exceeded 90% in August - up nearly 40% from the previous month. The company said the increase was due to improved product efficiency coupled with seasonal factors as Christmas approaches.

The F9 Full HD LED LCD TV features the latest advanced technologies including Samsung's LED SmartLighting, which intuitively senses the TV signal and adjusts brightness by modulating the right combination of LED backlight units which produces a dynamic contrast rating of 500,000:1.

500,000:1.

Kind of a nonsense number for contrast ratio. Extra silly when you give it 10 bit video with 1000 steps of which it is hard to see even

100. But it sounds good to us silly Americans who just HAVE to have the biggest, baddest...........

So all the previous 70 inch Full-HD LCD TV's were smaller? :-)

So the LED's are the backlighting. How many pixels does one LED illuminate? And just how many pixels is the native resolution on this beast? Anyone care to take a guess?

And, based on the Sharp implementation of the same idea, the first thing you will do is turn it off.

It seems to be a terrible idea, as the backlight needs to change when a part of the picture changes from bright to dark. The other parts of the picture that don't change will vary in brightness with this backlight change.

These are not HD news - these are press releases from the company's marketing department.

Does the whole backlight change? Or could it be they have a backlight that is segmented into regions that can change brightness independently? Even if it is one whole backlight, all it needs to do is track the pixel that is brightest. In dark scenes, the brightest pixel usually is more dark than in bright scenes. If the change in backlight level and the pixel levels change in sync and follow the same linearity, you should not see it. The problems come when a scene has more contrast ratio than the base contrast ratio of the display under a fixed backlight level.

And certainly not technical product reviews.
