I'd have to disagree here. Westinghouse has the cheapest priced Full HD LCDs.]]>Mar 5th 2007 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/byd-sign-eyefi-cheapo-42-and-47-inch-1080p-lcds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/byd-sign-eyefi-cheapo-42-and-47-inch-1080p-lcds/Mar 5th 2007 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/byd-sign-eyefi-cheapo-42-and-47-inch-1080p-lcds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/byd-sign-eyefi-cheapo-42-and-47-inch-1080p-lcds/
I'm not sure how Westinghouse is going to handle the FCC's requirements for ATSC tuners. See: http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/the-beginning-of-the-end-for-analog-tv/]]>Mar 5th 2007 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/byd-sign-eyefi-cheapo-42-and-47-inch-1080p-lcds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/byd-sign-eyefi-cheapo-42-and-47-inch-1080p-lcds/
With this: http://www.hwhpr.com/pr/westinghouse/CES07/TX_1080p.html

These new sets come out next month. The built-in tuner is one of the only real differences from the current models. They also have a 5000:1 dynamic contrast ratio (which is mostly a meaningless buzzword) but the static contrast ratio is still 1000:1 AFAIK. I believe they are using the same panels as the current models.

The price will be higher, reflecting the inclusion of a tuner. If you want to save the cost of the tuner, buy one of the current models while you can.

While LCD prices are plumetting in the states, even 32-inchers were selling for 150,000~200,000yen (1300~1700 dollars or so) when I was over there Sept~Dec 2006. This was true even for large electronics shops and those in the electronics district of Osaka (Nipponbashi/Denden town). No one believed me when I told them those things were less than half the price in the US of A.]]>Mar 5th 2007 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/byd-sign-eyefi-cheapo-42-and-47-inch-1080p-lcds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/byd-sign-eyefi-cheapo-42-and-47-inch-1080p-lcds/
They don't have to because technically, the sets without the tuners aren't televisions. They're monitors. To be a television, they have to have a TV Tuner. No TV Tuner, not a TV.

FCC is mandating all screens that are include a TV tuner, include an ASTC one.
In other words, if you put a coxial port on the device, at least one of them has to be ASTC

And there's nothing byDesign can do about it - they even shipped me a second display - same crap image from a multitude of DVI and HDMI sources. Also the Eyefi 37" screen I have will not sync with HDMI - it times out. (HDMI industry standard no-no) So it never can show a HDMI signal from ANY source. Nice VGA tho - if you need it, but if you need HDMI - AVOID!! ]]>Apr 18th 2007 11:49AM
