Welcome to SED-TV Reviews
Flat screen televisions are the current rage in multimedia displays. These thin screen monitors are found in two current technologies; Liquid crystal display (LCD) or Plasma technologies. A new, exciting technology is on the horizon called the Surface-conduction electron-emitter display (SED), which will be the talk of next generation. Why is this technology so exciting? The current word of the industry says the SED-TV will provide the following advantages compared to LCD or Plasma technologies:
1) Sharper detailed images
2) Longer life expectancy
3) Lower power consumption
Why SED technology?
SED is a technology developed in partnership with Toshiba and Canon. Their objective is to create a television that produces are sharp, crisp picture using the CRT technology but in a thin flat screen monitor. Toshiba claims that this monitor produces vivid color images that surpass current technology, fast video responses, high contrast, high gradation and low power consumption. Judging from the reports at the 2006 Consumer Electronic Show, this technology does not disappoint.
CRT technology (cathode ray tubes) uses electron guns that distribute a proportional amount of pixels on a display. We all grew up with the bulky television sets that take up huge amount of space and was heavy to move. SED technology uses electrons to emit light to produce pixels in a flat screen. How can you see the improvement in the picture? Imagine watching Batman. Most of the scenes were dark and dreary. The CRT’s were able to distinguish different shades of black and grey instead of seeing a batch of similar black colors. With the SED technology, consumers will be able to see the dark contrast and sharp picture quality equal to the CRTs.
