NuVision bringing 120Hz "FX5" tech to Lucidium LCDs
Falling right in line with just about every other LCD manufacturer, NuVision will be incorporating 120Hz tech into its Lucidium line of LCDs later this year. But we all know that "120 Hz" spec won't stand out on the box art, so the company is calling it FX5, or "Film Times Five." At least this name might help consumers understand all 120 of those Hertz are meant to make an exact five-fold increase of 24 fps film for judder-free viewing. The "more Hertz is better" mentality will probably prevail, but at least we can hope, right? The FX5 designation will be spread across 42-, 47- and 52-inch models, named NVU42FX5, NVU47FX5 and NVU52FX5, respectively. Based on some reviews, though, we're hoping NuVision makes more than just this feature change to the sets, or lowers the prices by the time these appear in Q4.
NuVision's NVU52DCM Deep Black LCD HDTV gets reviewed
NuVision has just recently started shipping its Lucidium Deep Black LCD HDTVs out to anxious consumers, but before you go making any rash decisions about picking one up sign unseen, why not give Ultimate AV Mag's review a once over? The $4,199 (MSRP) set proved to be a mixed bag during testing, primarily due to the high standards the critics (understandably) held the unit to given the lofty price. In their words, "detail was excellent, and color looked much better than expected," but the blacks were only deemed "pretty good," and shadow detail was just "so-so." Overall, the 52-incher managed to really nail the basics (good port selection, tuner and image quality), and if it were priced around a grand less, UAM would've given it an "unqualified recommendation." As it stands, you're probably better off waiting for the price to sink or looking for another unit with more bang-for-the-buck.
NuVision ships two more Lucidium Deep Black LCD HDTVs
NuVision already shipped the big boys in its Lucidium Deep Black LCD family back in January, but now it's boxing up a couple more and sending 'em on their way. As of now, the 22-inch (NVU22L) and 32-inch (NVU32L) iterations are shipping out for $749 / $1,399, and if you were curious about the other ten models that have yet to leave the lab, you can look forward to seeing those in "early Q2."
NuVision ships 42-, 47- and 52-inch 1080p Lucidium Deep Black LCD TVs
Remember that flurry of Lucidium Deep Black 1080p displays that we saw NuVision launch last summer? Apparently, a trio of them are finally shipping, and they just so happen to be three very desirable sizes. The 42-, 47- and 52-inchers are all hitting the road right now, with the former two sporting NiDO III Image processing, 4x HDMI 1.3 inputs and a 1080p Deep Color Spectrum LCD panel, and the latter adding in a NuColor x.v. full 10-bit color path. Can't wait to claim your own? Bust out the pocketbook then, as these will run you $2,199, $2,799 and $4,199 from smallest to largest.[Via AVguide]
