I am not a display expert, but my understanding is that the physical limitation of LCD panels in blocking light is the gaps between pixels, which are necessary to house the circuitry that addresses each pixel (turns them on or off). And there is a baseline physical limit to how small those gaps can become. The breakthrough is local dimming, and shrinking the dimming zones as far as possible (ideally 1:1 with the pixels, but in economic practice far less than that) and in speeding up the dimming zone response time. If Caleb ever gives us a Bravia 9 review, maybe we'll see how far it has come ;-)

@chrismaiers4020 7 күн бұрын

For tuners, you could look at a couple of things weak signal and over-driven signals. Over-driving is easy as you just need to add a variable gain amp/power inserter and set it to the 'nuclear' setting. For weak signal, you could try to find some attenuators and insert them in line to see when channels drop out. Alternatively, you could just get a bunch of splitters and stack them in line to see how much power loss the tuner can endure. You'll have to do it for ATSC 1.0 & 3.0 tuners as well. ATSC 3.0 tuners have automatic gain control functions built into them.

@halfvader8015 7 күн бұрын

On the LCD v OLED thing, even OLED has taken almost twenty years to even get to this point (Sony XEL 1 first commercial/consumer OLED?). And there absolutely have been other display technologies at cheaper prices, the biggest and saddest story being SED which took the best of all worlds to make a kind of 'reverse' CRT that worked more like an LCD. But alas Toshiba's greed and fighting with Canon in the courts doomed it. It's not always just about the potential of the tech.

@toddpederson333 8 күн бұрын

Would signal attenuation simulate tuner sensitivity tests. Back in "the day" working for a major cable company, we used to install inline rg6 signal attenuators to drop "lound" signals to get the signal within spec we were looking to get. Houses closest to the amplifiers suffered the most from "too much" signal. If I remember the attenuators were extremely affordable and compact (just a little longer than the fitting on the end of the cable). You could attenuate the signal into non existence with enough attenuators installed in line. Seems pretty easy and do-able. Thanks for all the great content.

@billbrown3414 8 күн бұрын

Tuner evaluation: Actually, you’re in a perfect location-if you purchase a calibrated attenuator. It would be pretty easy to compare tuner sensitivity by attenuating the incoming signal until a given tuner looses it. One limitation: if a tv has leakage (receives the station with no antenna), then a more distant station must be used. All you really need is an attenuator, a relatively weak tv signal, and a reference tv to keep as a standard.

Tuners, and setup of same. In the section where you select the actual channels that will be tuned, I've seen TV's that will actually show you what's on the air (or cable) as an aid to selecting, or deselecting it. This makes the task fairly easy. On the other hand, some do channel selection blind (Tivo), where you just see hundreds of channels with clue as to whether or not you can actually receive it, or what's on it. The only option there is to leave setup, step through ALL the channels, and record which ones you want to pick in channel select, then go through the selection process.

You should really check out this speaker system for small to medium to a fairly large size room. Its priced at a decent sound bar level, but man does it pack an impressive punch with the sub woofer and movie experience. Mind you, you have to adjust the audio levels for each speaker depending on situation, but you can do so to have low audio to just hear the voices, or crank it up and watch an action movie that will get you a knock on the door lol. I have two of them. One in my living room and man cave and I am very happen with them. The only downside is the very small remote, and having to control to each speakers audio volume each time with no presets, and it only offers a digital optical connection.

More and more people are 'cutting the cord' and canceling cable. It's become a game of "how many hundreds of channels of useless garbage that no one want to watch can we pack into 'packages' along with the few channels people do want, to make them pay hundreds of dollars a month for the 5-6 channels they watch?" for the cable companies. So instead, people use OTA antennas for local content and streaming services to watch the exclusives they're actually interested in. WIth ATSC3, the local broadcasters are going to be able to transmit in 4K, and also may be able to do pay-per-view type stuff, which some people are not excited about.

@trevorbartram5473 9 күн бұрын

Hi Caleb, if the TV signal levels at your location are repeatable then you're in a great postion to test tuners. Repeatability can be tested daily using an inexpensive DVR* with signal level meter (iView, Mediasonic etc). Once repeatability is confirmed choose a VHF-lo, two (band end) VHF-hi & two (band end) UHF stations, insert a 75 Ohm switched attenuator into the antenna cable & increase attenuation (in dBs) until the picture disappears. The TV with the highest attenuation value has the most sensitive tuner! There's some preparatory work to do choosing stations & the testing will be time consuming. *P.S. I use a DVR & Rasp Pi HDMI display to optimize my attic TV antenna position.

@endico 9 күн бұрын

And even if you don't test the tuner itself, it would still be nice to know about the TV's channel watching user experience. How does channel management work? How does the channel guide work? I have a 10 year old Samsung and there are so many things that annoy me about the way it works. I guess I'm spoiled by my recently cancelled Xfinity box. Hopefully newer tvs are better but is there a difference between brands? I'd like the channel guide to only show my favorite channels and I'd like the program guide to update automatically instead of me doing it by hand for each channel every day. Is that a thing nowadays?

I think the same about LCD technology. Apart from the constant size decreasing of mini-LEDs and becoming them more and more intelligent and precise, backlight is the only main issue and challenge to resolve the last LCD problem. LCD is still recyclable and lasts much more than the OLED, but their production, and evolving, aren't that profitable (OLED is more expensive and lasts less, and there's no chance to recycle it). LCD won't die yet, but in a future, longer life span OLED, then cheaper, will surely surpass LCD, like this surpassed CRTs in the past...

There’s a reason they don’t. Requires a much stronger backlight (more power draw and a lot of heat) to push through both panels and with EU regulations it’s not feasible to make them very bright and meet power requirements. Eu is too big of a market to make a non-compliant product . There are also some issues with motion clarity as the panels can behave differently (likely due to the “back” screen being warmer than the front). I wish it was simpler as there is promise (mostly cost) but I don’t think we will see it in consumer tvs.

Lack of light is always better then blocking light (hence why better backlight control is where they ended up going), plus having full light that you block, is a waste of energy, and would generate a lot of extra unneeded heat. You actually can go darker and block more light with dual cell technology, but it was expensive, thicker, and actually too dark, to hard to get enough light through the parts you wanted to be effective for most. Where they are still developing LCD tech to try and go darker is actually in the projector space where you dont have led backlights to control, where you actually do in almost all(?) cases your light source is the same intensity for the entire picture and your contrast is completly controlled by the LCD matrix and the screen material. There was only one laser ultra short through projector that I've even ever heard of trying to stear the light output to where it was needed and actually darken it where ti wasn't. Thats a good question for the show actually, I could see bulb tech not being able to block light in a zone basis, but would we ever see bright enough led's or oleds to replace a high pressure bulb for abcklight controllable projectors, or laser light engines that could "scan" the pixels and give differnt light outputs based on what the pixel or zone calls for? Prjectors are already doing alot especially with the shifting ones, maybe its too complicated

If 1080p from 10 plus feet away looks bad to you, IDK ? I've got flagship Plasmas that are still working, have Never had any problems, nothing 'burned' in, blacks are unreal, refresh rate, the best and can be watched at Any angle. Why would I buy a disposable, lightweight, plastic, unproven, cheap 4K unless I was sitting a few feet away ? I do have a favorite LED / LCD, and that's my Sharp ELITE Pro - 70x5fd, THX Cert., auto dimming with over 500 zones, built like a Tank, and beat out every TV on the market at the time including plasmas. ( the KURO that I have was no longer made and was not in the competition ) I believe the KURO is better. FYI - I picked up these $6k - $9k TV's about 10 years ago for around $1K. Still working fine, even use the 70" ELITE to game on. Oh, and upon research found out the ELITE was the Best 3D Tv made, has active glasses too.

@ksec6631 8 күн бұрын

It is not that there isn't solution for LCD to block ( most ) backlight. There are actually LCD Tech at blocking ( or reducing ) backlight with Dual Panel system. As what is used in the Sony Reference Display. The only problem is no one manage to figure out how to do it cheaply, and more importantly with consumer required energy efficiency. The Mini LED backlight is also expensive ( for now ) and increasing zones will increase circuitry cost, heat dissipation cost and computation cost. Had cost not be an issue we could have 40K zones with a Dual Panel system. But if you are paying high price for a Dual Panel Massive zones Mini LED LCD you might as well get a MicroLED Display. So LCD is still marching on, the Panel is still getting improvement like HVA. we will get more zones, mini LED gets cheaper etc. I dont see how LCD could ever be back and compete with OLED in Smartphone and Tablet or Laptop. But at TV size, especially large TV size 65inch+, I would still pick LCD over OLED display. Hopefully with Bravia 9 we will get to see where LCD is now and where it can continue to improve. Cant wait to see that Sony review.

@ryans413 8 күн бұрын

Liquid Crystals can’t make their own power so they need a backlight to light them up. The only way you can block the light is by turning off the back light and just making it black. That’s pretty much what OLEDs do when they need to make black the pixel is not lit. There no way the crystal can block the light 100% it would have been done by now if it could. The best we can do is perfect the backlighting system and we are getting close with mini led.

The only way you can make an LCD with the contrast similar to OLED is to put two LCD layers on top of each other (dual layer). Unfortunately they are inefficient and hard to manufacture, so they are only made for professionals. Mini-led is the next best thing which is gaining popularity and combined with the ease of manufacturing, efficiency and cost, they have a bright future IMO.

This LCD vs LED discussion was rediculous. Caleb made the mini-LED (which is LCD with mini LED backlighting) sound like a Rube Goldberg contraption. Have go to FOMO to hear the real trade off in image performance between OLED and mini-LED/LCD. The Bravia 9 mini-LED has really changed the discussion with its ability to attenuate the backlight relative to a pixel in a more linear way, instead of just on-off. The real advantage for the Bravia 9 will come with 4000 nits peak mastered content.

If an LCD panel. As in just the Liquid Crystal panel. If it would hit 10,000-15,000 native contrast and really good uniformity in black and grey. It would honestly almost kill OLED. Especially with the new W-HVA panels that has built in wide viewing angle to match OLED basically. There wouldn't be anything left for OLED but faster pixel response times. With the MiniLED backlight advancing and more zones and better 22-bit control etc. When the TVs like what Sony does hit 10,000 zones and coupled with a higher native contrast LCD panel. It's basically so close that the OLED advantage is gone. It's already almost 90% of an OLED today with the XR90. It literally have the Same contrast levels in almost all scenes.
