SONY – R450A SERIES 1080p 60Hz LED HDTV

FEATURES:
• Brilliant Full HD 1080p picture quality
• Direct LED for a bright picture and slim design
• Smooth movement with Motion flow XR 120
• 2 full-range 8W speakers
• 2 HDMI ports

STANDARD REMOTE: RM-YD092

RATING: 4.7/5

Welcome to the review of Sony’s R450A Series 1080p 60Hz LED HDTV. This Sony R450A series presents your favorite TV shows, movies and more in crystal-clear high-definition. Two full-range 8W speakers produce robust, dynamic sound to add to your home entertainment experience.
The TV’s sleek finish and mirrored front bar create a nice aesthetic once mounted. Though not exceptionally thin by today’s standards, the R450A does well for a backlit LED TV. Like many entry-level models, this series does not rotate on its stand. The thin plastic stand itself seems a bit flimsy, and the fact that it is attached to the TV by only two screws doesn’t exactly scream quality.

The remote control for the R450A series is part number RM-YD092.

One especially notable feature is the TV’s use of Sony’s MotionFlow Technology for frame interpolation and image blur reduction to lower jittering, and in theory, make the 60Hz refresh rate seem more like 120 Hz.
There are many mixed reviews for this model. If you are in the market for buying a new TV, always check out the resources for the best quality and the right TV to fit your needs.

PROS:
• Brilliant colors
• Light weight, attractive design
• Packed with features
• Renders sports and fast-paced video well

CONS:
• Extremely narrow viewing axis
• Unnecessarily confusing options
• Fixed Motion smoothing feature creates soap opera effect on films

REMOTE: RMT-22

RATING: 4.2 out of 5 stars

Welcome to a review of the Westinghouse T7HW LED HDTV Series. If you are looking for an affordable, basic, good quality HDTV to purchase, this is the series for you. What it lacks for in extra features, it makes up for in picture quality. The contemporary, slim design fits well in any space and is easily mountable on a wall due to its light weight. Some buyers have remarked that the TV has no buttons on the front except for the on/off switch meaning the remote control is necessary to watch TV and change channels or set preferences. A vast majority of flat panel TVs in this day and age however are made the same way. The set-up is easy and the 2 HDMI inputs allow for hooking up of several devices including gaming consoles, sound systems, and a computer. There are also headphone jacks for your convenience. With wide horizontal and vertical angles, you can enjoy remarkable picture quality from any area in the room. This series offers stunning images and brilliant, vivid colors with lots of details.

The remote that comes with this series is the RMT-22. It is a standard, basic model and easy to use.

The sound quality for this series, as with many slim, flat screen TVs, is ordinary. Some users have commented that a muffled/hollow sound comes out from the speakers. Others are content with the sound and have no issues. If you are particular about high-end sound and want a “surround sound” type of experience when you watch movies or play games, there is a simple solution. By attaching a sound bar, good quality speakers or a sound system to the TV, you will be able to achieve superior sound quality and enjoy your new TV.

PROS:
• Low, bargain price
• Crystal clear images and brilliant, vibrant colors
• Wide vertical and horizontal angles
• Easy set-up

CONS:
• Average sound quality

Westinghouse UW32S3PW 32” Class 720p 60Hz LED HDTV

FEATURES:

• 720p high definition resolution
• Ultra thin design
• 100,000:1 Dynamic contrast ratio
• 176 degree vertical and horizontal angles
• Parental control
• Built-in digital tuner
• PC connectivity
• Energy efficient

REMOTE: RMT-22

RATING: 4.2 out of 5 stars

Welcome to a review of the Westinghouse UW32S3PW 32” Class 720p 60Hz LED HDTV. This model is modern and sleek with its ultra slim design. This 32” is perfect for any wall or stand and is easy to mount because of its light weight. The set-up is easy, however, some consumers are not satisfied that the user manual comes in the form of a CD instead of an actual printed copy. This can be problematic for users with no computer or little knowledge of computers and how to read and navigate a document on CD.

The UW32S3PW comes equipped with only one button on the front, the on/off switch. For those people who often displace or lose their remote control, this can be an annoyance. Although this model’s resolution is only 720p, unless you get up very close can you tell that it is not 1080p. The picture quality is excellent, delivering brilliant clear, crisp images whether you are watching movies, playing a game, or have your PC connected to use as a monitor. Its wide vertical and horizontal angles allow anyone in the room to view with ease, no matter where they are seated.

The remote control that comes with this model is part number RMT-22. It has been noted that at times the remote control is slow to respond and needs to be positioned directly in front of the TV to work.

The biggest complaint about this model, as is with other ultra slim flat screen models, is the sound quality. Users have said that the sound is often muffled and sounds tinny, as though coming from a tin cup. For many, the sound quality is adequate, but for those who desire a more enhanced and high-end sound there is an easy solution. Simply attach a sound bar, speakers or a good quality sound system and you will be ready to experience a true theater-like experience with sharp, crisp images that are hard to beat for the low price.

PROS:
• Sharp, crisp picture
• Ultra slim, sleek design
• Easy to mount
• Parental control
• PC connection

CONS:
• Average sound quality
• User manual comes in the form of a cd, not a printed copy

SAMSUNG FH6003 SERIES 1080p 240Hz LED HDTV

FEATURES:
• Full HD 1920 x 1080p Resolution
• Clear Motion Rate of 240
• Wide Color Enhancer Plus Technology
• ConnectShare Movie via USB Connection
• Dual HDMI Inputs & Optical Audio Output
• Dolby Digital Plus & Dolby Pulse
• DTS 2.0 + Digital Out
• Eco Sensor Adjusts Screen Brightness
• Energy Star 6.0 Qualified

REMOTE: AA59-00666A

RATING: 4.0/5.0

Welcome to a review of Samsung’s FH6003 Series, 1080p 240Hz LED HDTV. The Samsung FH6003 Series features 1080p Full HD resolution, LED backlighting and a Clear Motion Rate of 240Hz that promotes sharp detail and contrast – even when watching sports and action movies. The Wide Color Enhancer Plus feature further improves picture quality by allowing you to see the full RGB spectrum.

Per Samsung, a Clear Motion Rate of 240Hz is a brilliant level of motion-clarity. TVs with this CMR can display action-packed movement with sharpness, clarity and contrast. Clear Motion Rate was developed to accurately measure how well an LCD or LED TV can depict fast-moving images. Previously, motion-clarity was calculated by the frame refresh rate alone. But CMR offers a more complete measure by calculating 3 factors: frame refresh rate, image processor speed and backlight technology.

The Samsung FH6003 Series comes with 2 HDMI inputs. With two HDMI connections, you can get High-quality single-cable digital audio/video interface for connecting the TV to a digital cable box, satellite box, DVD & Blu-ray Player, PC computers, PC portable devices, or any device featuring the HDMI output. You will also receive a Samsung fully functional remote control, part number AA59-00666A. This remote is a basic standard remote with functions that will get you through navigating and menu options with ease.

Consumer input states that this model has a beautiful picture. The colors are crisp and bright and sound is ok. This is not a smart TV but there are other ways to work around that. The FH6003 comes in two popular sizes, a 55” and a 60” Class. It is a bit pricey but definitely worth checking this series out.

PROS:
• 1080p Full HD Resolution
• 240Hz Refresh Rate
• 2 HDMI
• Color Enhancer Technology

CONS:
• Expensive
• No smart features
