TV Technology. Idle musing after wandering in John Lewis
Discussion
I had a day off work to use up some holiday and do some last minute Christmas shopping. While I was in John Lewis, I had a wander through the TV department, and some things stood out about the current technology on offer:
1) Curved screens. The image looks distorted in an odd sort of fashion. I don't think it actually is, but more of an optical illusion create by the top of the frame.
2) 4K UHD. Looks superb when viewed on a massive, 65", screen at less than 3m. Quite how this will translate to a useable size screen, at a less than perfect viewing angle, when a 4k source becomes available, remains to be seen.
3) OLED. A bit of a disappointment. There was two 55" LG's side by side, comparable in price, and the normal LED was much better. This was a surprise, but could be poor adjustment base on a sample size of one.
4) 3D. Didn't see it mentioned... Anywhere... There's a surprise!
