A television occupies the pride of place in our houses. Whether we are movie buffs or not, getting a futuristic television set at home is a matter of great pride for many. Going by the technological advancements, there is a thrilling variety to choose from. Television sets that occupied quite a lot of space before are being replaced by sleeker and slimmer styles with much more efficiency and features. If you are planning to change your interiors and are looking at slimmer television sets, discussed below are the best of the slimmest and most exciting TV sets available in the market:
1. Sony Bravia XBR â 55HX929
One of the best performing models in the market, this television set offers the best picture clarity and contrast due to the deeper levels of black. The shadow details, colour, options for video processing and the thin exterior all makes it a set worth vying for. It has built in Wi-Fi and 3D facilities.
2. LG Infinia 55LW6500
Though much the same when compared to other 2D TVs, when it comes to 3D images, this one stands out due to its image clarity due to the absence of cross talk and flicker. The sleek design with 29 .9 mm panels and the classic black finish along with the purplish border and the swivel stand are all design details that make this TV set a great choice.
3. Samsung UN55C8000 XFXZA
This ultra slim LED HDTV (0.9â deep) has superb Samsung technology that offers unsurpassed picture quality along with the features of an LED edge lighting and local dimming technology. Samsungâs light source is highly efficient and innovative with great picture enhancement, video output and vibrant colours. The 3D technology is near perfect with the facility for converting all 2D images to 3D.
4. Philips 9000 Series
One of the premium end designs, Philips 9000 series has a stylish design and picture and sound quality that can be termed as outstanding. The stainless steel body over the bezel, and the sleeker design, compared to the previous yearâs model, ambilight system with double LED lights etc. are features that make it worth taking a second look at. The sound system being incorporated in the stand of the TV is however a negative point if you want to hang it in the wall as it has to be rotated towards the back which will make it protrude from the wall, in spite of its slime design.
5. Toshiba 46WX800U
The Toshiba 46WX800U comes with a whole lot of supplementary features that makes it an economical choice if not best. With a classic angular black bezel with a wall mountable LCD panel, it has Toshibaâs ClearFrame technology that gives clear and crisp images despite the moving images. There is also an image scaling technology which enhances every image quality and gives it an HD touch. The 46 inch screen size and the entertainment features that are incorporated in the sleek designs does not disappoint at all.
6. Panasonic VT30
The all round picture quality of Panasonic VT30 is what makes it a great choice. With great black level performance and shadow detail it can even offer great contrast in a bright room. 3D picture quality too is superior with a Wi-Fi dongle and a 3D glass. The single pane design along with the all round performance of Panasonic VT30 makes it one of tyhe best performing TVs in the market. Though the cost is a bit of a put off, it cannot be considered as expensive per se, considering the clarity that it offers.
7. Samsung Plasma D8000 Series
Samsung always comes up with futuristic design and D8000 series surely impresses the customer with superior picture clarity, great black levels, 3D picture clarity and the sleek and uniform LCD panel. The screen is slimmer that the LG and Panasonic counterparts and hence more attractive to a customer who is on the hunt for the slimmest TV sets in the market. With a narrow bezel, and the titanium frames, the Plasma TV sure stands out in the crowd. The spider stand is however a disappointment and spoils the entire design. This however can be rectified by mounting it on the wall though.
8. LG LW650T
One of the latest models that advocate the passive 3D technology that may have some disadvantages as well, the 3D image clarity of LGLW650T does not create any reason for complaint. With good 2D performance levels and cheaper rates, it also comes with a host of accessories where you can save your money a bit. With a transparent outer edge that blends greatly with the bezel and the angular looking pedestal and a sleek 30 mm screen thickness are things that we cannot ignore when we take a look at this TV and its overall quality.
9. Sony HX 920
The latest flagship TV from Sony with the latest technology, it has an LED backlight with the added feature of a full focal dimming that gives great black levels and clarity. At 38 mm, this TV is slimmer than many other LED TVs that are backlit. It is sleek and has smart features that make it stand out, even though it may not be worthy enough to compete with some of its other competitors. However, the monolithic design, 3D technology and all round functionality makes it a TV set worth considering.
10. Samsung UN40C7000
Very sleek with generally good overall performance, it also comes with a number of web applications and features. One of the least expensive in the 3D category which has a motion resolution that can be compared with Samsungâs UNB8000 series, it has a super sleek design with a rounded bezel and an X shaped stand. Being the cheapest in the category, it still offers great 3D quality and overall performance and hence a great choice if you are looking at an economical, yet quality buy.
