AU Optronics (AUO) has recently announced that they will be exhibiting at the FPD China 2010 at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. The company plans to display a full range of new displays and power-saving green technologies. On display will be a full range of 3D screens that will range in size from 8- to 65-inches. There will also be several LED backlit HDTVS that measure between 42- and 55-inches. The 3D displays will not be like the new models that released last week. The difference is the AUO will be using the polarized technique, which is used in more theaters. This technique means that each frame is polarized in a certain way. The lenses on the glasses are set to match to the frames that have the same polarization. AUO also stated that this process will allow the glasses to retail for $2 to$3, which is a huge difference compared to the $150 to $200 prices for the active shutter glasses. The company did not state the names of the new displays or when they will be officially released, but they will be available before the end of 2010.

The Vizio VF551XVT is one of the company’s newest LED HDTVs. This 55” display has 1080p HD (1920 x 1080) resolution and a 2000000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Recently, the writers from Market News got the opportunity to review this big display. The first thing they discuss is the design of the TV. They notice that the device has a big soundbar that hangs onto the bottom of the display. Their only complaint is that the TV looks outdated. However after reviewing the TV they notice that it is state of the art. They compliment the color and detail that the TV provides. They were very satisfied with the black levels and contrast and stated that the TV doesn’t have some of the problems that older models have. The only weak point that they highlight is the speaker system. They said that it was “intelligible” and also sounded “muted”.

There is no denying that 3D is coming to the home. But a reporter from Digital Sports Daily asks how well will the new technology work with sporting events. Trying out the technology with the Dallas Cowboys proved to be a disaster, but companies are still being optimistic. Many companies predict to sell several million 3DTVs before the end of the year. And while the content is not there right now, it will be shortly. ESPN has recently announced that their station plans to release 3D events through out the year. They also stated that they will plan to release a new ESPN 3D channel that will launch June 11th with the first 2010 FIFA World Cup Match. FOX is another station that will be broadcasting 3D sport events and plans to show the 2010 Major League Baseball All-Star Game in 3D. So with the content taken cared of, the big question now is will sports fans want to pay a few grand for a new 3DTV, extra glasses, cables, Blu-ray player, and access to the 3D stations? The truth is that the industry is really not sure. One representative stated that this whole process is like a big experiment.

It looks like Samsung really wants to sell their new 3DTVs. A few days ago, Samsung had their traditional press release to announce the new TVs. But last night, the company hosted a huge concert/party to celebrate the release. Some of the special guests included James Cameron, director of the popular Avatar movie, and the Black Eyed Peas. The concert was held right at Time Square in New York City and was even filmed by the 3D crew that James Cameron used for his movie. After the concert the party continued at the Samsung Experience in the Time Warner Center. There the band and everyone in attendance got to see the concert play again on Samsung’s 3D LED HDTVs.

AU Optics (AUO) is proud to announce that will be hiring up to 2500 new employees this year for it’s LCD panel, photovoltaic and OLED production. The company is planning to expand their LCD display product lineup as well as begin development of new OLED displays. OLED displays have been tested to be a far superior technology over regular LCD screens. The one major aspect is that the display panel doesn’t require a back light in order to display bright images. This not only reduces the screen thickness, but it also creates a energy saving device that doesn’t use toxic substances.

One of the biggest LED displays from Sharp is the LC52LE700E. This 52” screen has 1080p HD (1920 x 1080) resolution and a modest 4000:1 contrast ratio. Recently, Trusted Reviews released their experience with this TV. Like always, the writer starts with the physical design of the TV. They note that it is nice, but not original and it has a very plastickiness to it. The also thought that the TV was a little bulky compared to similar models. Fortunately though, the LC52LE700E makes up for its bad looks by displaying a very sharp image. The best aspect was the black levels, which were some of the best that any LED TV can do. However, after reviewing a few movies, the writer noticed that the audio performance was rather underwhelming. They lacked power and the dynamics from the bass sounds. The final verdict was, “There’s much to admire about Sharp’s 52LE700E, and we still can’t thank the brand enough for making the numerous delights of direct LED lighting so affordable in big-screen LCD TVs. But for me, Sharp’s cost-cutting approach to LED lighting doesn’t work quite as well at this 52in level as it does on the brand’s smaller screens. And motion blur and barely average sonics continue to be a problem for Sharp to work on for its next LED series.”
