LCD TV JVC LT 42DV8BG 42 inches / 106 cm

The Full HD LCD models are 100% able to reproduce the image quality of high definition sources. With a resolution greater than 2 megapixel (1920 x 1080), Full HD LCD TVs produce images of an extraordinary realism from any source such as HD broadcasting HD, Blu-ray devices and Everio HD. The entry 1080p is an advanced interface that allows direct transmission from sources Full HD 1080p latest and each pixel display without conversion. And for the transmission of noise-free digital sources, you can count on the HDMI compatibility with CEC, not only for connecting devices HD, but to order them from a single remote control.

Together, the technology Clear Motion Drive exclusive 100Hz, which operates technology interpolation exclusive, and MPRT method, which evaluates the speed of response, reduce blur and ghost images to obtain the visual pleasure of an image far more pleasant and more natural. The performance of screen drivers were also quintuplets to supplement the superior features of Full HD screens with the new technology Clear Motion Drive II 100Hz.

The models equipped with the image processor DynaPix detect and eliminate noise, bring the video signal format of the screen and detect characteristics in real time, all of this automatically, in order to adjust color and contrast to produce a image quality and more natural.

LCD TV Panasonic TH42PZ700E 42 inches / 106 cm

Panasonic, a leader in the market for plasma screens, we had sent one of its treasures latest technology: the TH42PZ700E simply represents the first full HD plasma TV. This plasma therefore adopts a resolution for this new diagonal and the technology of 1920 x 1080 pixels, 42 inches. With this new panel of the 10th generation, rich colors promises to be the rendezvous with max 68.7 billion in dark areas. As is often the case on this technology, the response time is not reported. The display incorporates several systems to improve the image as reducing disruption of the image management contrast automatic or a video noise reducer.


Regarding the party connections, he was taken enriches 3 HDMI version 1.2 along with a VGA and a YUV. The Japanese manufacturer has also implemented, Crane, an entry card for SD-HC. A very good point usually overlooked in the competition. Finally, a TNT is also integrated.


Upon unpacking, it starts with a surprise: the coating of the screen makes mate in the manner of a LCD (the uninitiated can also easily be mistaken). Then, the sources SD, TNT type, give quite good results despite some echoes on the contour shapes. The video is little noise this despite the fact that it is a full HD. This 42-inch is doing pretty well without raising an LCD. Using HD 1080p sources, the image earns far sharpness, and contrast is increasing slightly. Despite this improvement, dollies are not an exemplary fluidity. We saw better at Sony with its Motionflow.
The most embarrassing is the omnipresent flicker with all types of source. The eye appears after an hour of film at 50 Hz With 100 Hz, the situation without getting substantially achieve sufficient stability. It should be noted that the activation of 100 Hz on the television, contrary to what happens on the LCD TV, does not alter the reactivity.


After that finding, we screen connected to a PC, in 1920 x 1080 and 60Hz, to test its use in the office and on the web. Clearly, the screen is not good because it offers a readability distant from what is found on the LCD. In addition, the twinkling eyes fatigue quickly even if it takes care of all of the image, without overscan. The uniformity of the slab does not suffer any defect banding or clouding.


Remember, if this latest generation plasma accepts many signals in 1080 lines progressive (1080p), you end up with a black screen if you plug in, for example, a Playstation 3 settled in 24Hz.

LCD TV LG 42PC55 42 inches / 106 cm

A 42-inch LG plasma at the price of an LCD TV in the same diagonal, but entry level. It wants to believe it, to think that is falling on the pearl. Difficult indeed not hope to combine the best of the LCD - with this famous circuit XD Engine III, this great achievement of LG - with the advantages of plasma, as are her best reactivity, its black level very low contrast with this non-standard that results.


Unfortunately, we déchanté. Rather, the opposite happened: the 42PC55, all very close, accumulated defects of the two technologies. Some (very average) plasmas, it has recovered this slab allergic to bright indirect light sources. To see a beautiful image without reflection, dive room in the dark! The burning is marked, black not deep enough, disappointing for a plasma, like responsiveness. The 100 Hz mode is not recommended, it introduces additional saccades and the basic settings colors are not at all in terms of what we have seen on other LG products. Basic image is very blue. Fortunately, it is enough to choose the mode Doux, instead of Dynamics, to retrieve more accurate colors - it will still do with a white rose slightly but it is what we do better on this TV. No manual adjustment end is proposed.


Petit usual couplet: between promise and contrast what we measured, the gap is too large. LG advance contrast ratio of 15000:1. Where do they find it?? After adjustment, we must be content ... 450:1. This is 300 times less than what we hoped!


One point we finally had again thrilled about this TV. The treatment XD Engine III is still as well. With him, scaled images are passed, the noise level is low, negligible. This combined with the extended gamut, we arrived at gradients of high quality, just as good as the best Sony televisions. The only real fault is displayed when you look at the picture closely: there are crosses in the flat. However, 2m50 with hindsight, one sees anything anymore.


One final point: LG has been modest on the viewing angles of the screen. They herald 160 ° only what position the screen at the monitors TN. If one takes care to hide indirect light sources, all goes well, almost to the vertical side of the screen.
