Jeg har fundet en anmeldelse af M91, jeg har ikke læst den endnu:

Today the IFA opened in Messe-Berlin. Walking
into Samsung's booth in Hall 20 is breathtaking. As you enter you'll
see three pyramids of televisions. On the left is the P7 Plasma TV
line, the leading plasma television line. In the center is the M7 line
of LCD televisions, and on the right is the new Bordeaux line of LCD
televisions. But in the very center of the M7's is a lone television
from the M9 line, the LE40M91B, Samsung's leading LCD television.
The LE40M91B is the top model line of LCD
televisions that Samsung offers right now, it's packed with cutting
edge enhancements. Namely, it has a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, the
highest available in the industry, 100 Hz technology providing a very
smooth image, and an extended color gamut capable of producing far more
colors than conventional televisions.
The design of the LE40M91B is very sleek, with a
black lacquer finish which breaks the monotony in a world of silver
flat panels. It's sleek and smooth to the touch, and on its pedestal
its ergonomic for invites you to swivel it around to your liking. A
small design element I really appreciated was the controls being right
there on the side. They're tucked away, but not completely hidden
behind some panel you have to search for and open. It's very
accessible and intuitive. On the opposite side there is a multi-format
flash card reader so you can view pictures from your digital camera
right on your television, which is a really nice way to share photos.
Back in the day, my parents had a slide
projector, and for special trips they would have their photos developed
as slides as well as prints. When family friends came over we'd take
this one picture off the wall in the living room and show slides on the
wall using the project. I can't imagine this is how we used to share
photos. Nowadays all you have to do is put your camera's memory card
into the television and you can view hundreds of pictures on that card,
with fantastic clarity. Much better than my living room wall. Even
now, I have to carry a special video cable if I want to hook up my
camera to a television to show my pictures.
I also felt the user interface for navigating
pictures was really well done, and intuitive. The only drawback I
found was it did not automatically rotate images if you have a rotated
image. But other than that it was a really well done feature. In
addition to flash memory you can also attached a usb flash drive using
the USB port underneath the card readers. And underneath the USB port
is a PictBridge port. PictBridge is something I feel not many people
know about. It gives you the ability to easily connect imaging devices
to a printer without the use of a PC. With PictBridge, you just hook
up a USB cable to the PictBridge ports of the camera and the printer,
then you can print pictures using the camera (you'll see an option on
the camera to print). The LE40M91B can do this as well, just hook up a
printer, and as you're showing pictures to your friends or family, you
can print out a hard copy for them, right then and there.
Along the bottom of the television you'll see a
silver trim, which is actually an opening for the speakers. The sound,
I must say, is really impressive. If you're getting this television,
you'll most likely want to get a good audio system to take advantage of
the surround sound capabilities. It'd be a shame to have a set this
good, and not buy a surround sound system along with it. However, even
if you don't, the LE40M91B really does sound great on its own. I just
thought it was really clever to have a sound board integrated as a
decorative trim as well, serving two purposes at once: decorative and
functional.
I prefer LCD's over Plasmas, personally. The
past few days I had the opportunity to talk to some of the product
managers from Samsung, and they made a very good argument for both.
Some people prefer LCD, some prefer Plasma. LCD televisions are a few
steps behind Plasma in screen size, because it's more difficult to make
LCD televisions than Plasma televisions. But LCD's are catching up, so
you may see even bigger LCD televisions that retain the same crisp,
bright pictures I like.
I read a review of this television somewhere,
which mentioned its "crystal clear" quality. I'm sure ten years ago,
the new big-tube televisions of the day declared their "crystal clear"
quality, as well as new AM radios of the 1930's which also had "crystal
clear" quality. So actually, everything that comes out each year has
crystal clear quality, which leads me to think there's no progress.
And it's really hard to write a review about this year's crystal clear
televisions.
So if you really want know what's so different
about this new television, or any new television, you'd have to
understand what's fundamentally different about it, which I'll be more
than happy to share in another entry.
For now, I'm gonna rest up for another day at
IFA. Today was the first day so there were suits everywhere, but I'm
thinking tomorrow's gonna be a mad house.
