The Latest in Ultra-Thin Technology: The Wallpaper TV

From an idea to a reality… the Wallpaper TV is now here. This new product, with the unique technology of the OLED TV is the thinnest television available on the market. With a depth of just over 1/8 of an inch, this TV blends smoothly into any wall and is nearly invisible when viewed from the side. It’s picture-on-wall design allows it to lay virtually flat on the surface it is mounted on, making it seemingly disappear onto the wall. This television can be professionally mounted to the wall by locking two upper keyhole segments into a mounted metal plate, which is magnetized at the lower corners. This allows for a sturdy design to accommodate such a thin TV. Even with a mount, this television has an astonishing depth of less than 1/4 inch. This television’s sleek design is visually appealing, whether in use or turned off, and will minimize the aesthetic impact on the room.

OLED technology uses pixels that turn on and off individually, allowing for beautifully contrasted colors. This means you will the see most vibrant colors and the purest black for them to come alive against. The vast range of colors shown virtually matches the range of hues seen in todays top of the line cinemas, making every view a breathtaking experience. With active HDR (high dynamic range) and ultra HD picture (4K), the quality you will see is top of the line. This TV supports Dolby Vision™, which optimizes the picture quality scene by scene, showing you the best quality options regardless of the picture being viewed. This quality can be seen from anywhere in the room, whether you are sitting right in front or viewing from the side.

Available in the 65 or 77 inch form, you will not find a better option for a simply designed and visually appealing television.

New TV Technology – HDR is the next big thing!

hdr-tv-ces-1500x10001When I was trained in ISF (Imaging Science Foundation) video calibration years ago, we were told that there are four factors that matter in perceived image quality, and they matter in this order:

  1. Contrast
  2. Correct Colors
  3. Color Saturation
  4. Resolution

When we calibrate TVs and projectors we maximize the settings to get the best contrast (bright whites and dark blacks) and correct colors. Color saturation and resolution are often the result of the TV or projector’s capabilities.

High definition TVs were a revolution in the industry because they brought us much better resolution than we had before. The new 4K TVs have delivered even higher resolution, but we are getting to a point where we are getting diminishing returns from the added resolution.

One of the benefits of a 4K TV is that it will scale standard HD content to its higher resolution and make the picture look better.

HDR is finally going to deliver better contrast than we have ever seen before. However, we will need to get HDR content in order to see the difference. I have seen that the new Blu-Ray DVDs will be produced in HDR. I am not sure when we will see our standard and streaming content get there.

We have seen the demonstrations of the new HDR projectors and they look amazing. It looks like all of the best next-generation TVs from Samsung and Sony will feature HDR. I look forward to getting the content in place to take advantage of it.
