That's actually not true. To display all visible colors requires so called "imaginary" primaries that exist outside of the spectrum of human vision. The rec 709 (HD) spec has a gamut much smaller than human vision. Even if the spec were expanded you would be limited by the quality and purity of your phosphors. Adding a fourth phosphor is an easy (if expensive) way to extend the reproducible gamut.

As the original poster said though, this is problematic because all content made for TV is either scanned RGB or shot digitally (bayer RGB). Watching this content on an extended gamut display will distort the original colors probably for the worse.

Increasing bit count simply slices the display gamut into finer pieces. Bit count =/= color gamut.]]>Apr 23rd 2010 2:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/Apr 22nd 2010 11:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/Apr 22nd 2010 11:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/Chicken and egg.]]>Apr 23rd 2010 12:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/Apr 22nd 2010 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/

With a name like "Quattron," this set is begging to be the dinosaur of 2015 =P

Seems like tube TV's always had a ridiculous futuristic name that is pretty laughable these days.]]>May 29th 2010 8:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/Apr 22nd 2010 11:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/
I'm in the market for a new TV for my bedroom. The distance to the screen from where I sit in bed is roughly 10'. Forum people keep telling me to get a 42" TV, but I honestly think it look way too big in my room plus be too big in general. For a while I was thinking 32" would be perfect, but now I'm thinking 37" might be best (I watch a lot of widescreen films on a SD DVD player) along with some sports, SD and HD shows.

They don't make 37" plasmas anymore, so I'm debating between conventional LCD vs. LED. I know all about full array with local dimming vs edge lit regarding LED's. The TV is going on a stand so the thin profile of an edge lit LED doesn't matter to me. I've also read a lot of bad things about edge lit LED's (specifically that their picture isn't much better than a conventional LCD and that the edge lighting isn't so great, especially compared to backlit LED's with local dimming).

At the 37" level I'm pretty much forced to go conventional LCD (which I think I'm okay with). I tend to lean towards Sony and Panasonic when it comes to TV brands.

Anyways, some suggestions would be really appreciated (models, etc). Also, what does everybody think about edge lit LED's vs. a really nice conventional LCD with the same size screen, 1080P, etc? Lastly, I might be open to going 40" if someone can make the case for LED and suggest a model. Or even a conventional LCD at 40" if you swear by it.

My budget is $800 max, ideal in the $450 - $650 range. Thanks!!!!!]]>Apr 22nd 2010 11:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/
For those prices, you're locked into traditional LCD really. For a bedroom TV, 37" will be just fine. You seem to be splitting hairs about this (I do it to!), but you should just go for the 37" LCD.

I don't know how much television watching you do in your bedroom, but no need to drop a ton of cash for a second TV. Im partial to samsung, but im sure a vizio would do just fine as well. You don't need the utmost of crazy quality picture to fall asleep to CSI reruns, do you?]]>May 29th 2010 8:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/Apr 22nd 2010 11:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/Apr 23rd 2010 3:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2010/03/secrets-of-the-nexus-ones-screen-science-color-and-hacks.ars/]]>Apr 23rd 2010 12:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/

why does the weight of the TV matter really? You mount it or place it on a stand, then it stays there. This isn't a CRT vs LCD/plasma argument where the dimensions and weight are hugely different, especially with newer plasmas.

Plasma is still king in my mind.]]>May 29th 2010 8:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/Apr 23rd 2010 12:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/Apr 23rd 2010 12:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/Apr 23rd 2010 1:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/Apr 23rd 2010 3:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/sharps-four-color-hdtv-samsungs-cheapest-3dtv-now-on-sale/

has everyone forgot about dlp? I'm not here to debate it's picture quality vs LCD etc but it is the cheapest 3d, not a $1500 46".
