Hm....

http://lgborderless.com/my/#/what-is-borderless

I thought LG will use ISF instead of THX.

Anyway, ISF got more option to tune than THX since THX still considered "new" thus less options to tune than ISF. However, since THX still considered "new", so it got potential.

THX means if the mode is selected, the colour decoding and the greyscale are within THX specs, for those not interested in calibration, this is the closest it gets.

ISF is memories and further adjustments for those that plan to calibrate, having a ISF mode but not planning to calibrate does not help.

However, to make u happy, the LS90 has both ISFccc and THX. So it really is all u u want. Also to moot, this is pretty well rated but is edge backlit and not the local dimming (that is the LHseries)

LG ....

Anyway, lets see the price first

Thanks for the enlightenment. Always thought THX is all about sound only.
BTW what is THX specs with regards to color and greyscale?

Check out the link. I believe the greyscale and colour are explained. The actual Delta E tolerances are not published. But I believe DE1976 of below 10. Don't quote me on that as I cannot get the actual references.

THX Display Criteria

Speaking about THX, LG PG60 is also THX certified, but the blacks are really disappointing. So how?

If u read, there is no criteria for black levels or white levels. Its more on accuracy. LG are pretty smart as well.

saw the adverts on tv. Any pricing yet?

As long as it meets SMTPE guidelines, its good to go as far as white luminance is concerned. SMPTE's guidelines for white luminance is something like 20 - 30ft/L for fixed panel display that is easily obtained by most displays. SMPTE does not give guidelines for black levels.

Smart as in marketing?

Smart as in using THX, ISFccc and I believe a prominent designer in their display product lines to give the consumer something to think about even those that know their shortcomings. Their full 3D CMS is superb (works as advertised) and their higher end models have a 20point greyscale adjusment. These mask the shortcomings. And like all display companies, they have their fair share of shortcomings.

However, the LH90 (local dimming LED) is a real strong player, and is a strong contender for Samsung, Sharp and Sony in the LCD world.

Sifu Anfieldude, I was under the impression that to have a proper greyscale, U would need proper black levels in the first place, right? If not the blackest blacks will come out as only grey.

Please pardon my ignorance.

You need to set black levels correctly (this is the brightness setting) to show just above Blacker than Black (video black - 16). However, this does not guarantee u absolute blacks. When some displays have poor black levels, the blacks will look dark gray in a dark room.

After u adjust brightness and contrast, then u start adjusting greyscale. A wrong greyscale will show contamination of the gray with either red, green or blue. Proper greyscale ensures that your blacks, grey and whites are pure.

Maybe the next time we meet I can explain, or it is easier to explain while showing the test patterns.

However, whatever calibration does not make the black any better that the what the display can do. It helps to ensure that ur set is calibrated to D65 standards where the greyscale is correct, black levels are correct, colour is accurate and u are not crushing shadow detail and crushing white (also ensuring there is no clipping).

whoa.. chew and anfield meeting ar? too bad I can't join.. sigh!

Thanks bro Anfieldude for your insights. Yes I do hope I will be able to get U to calibrate my set in the future.

Elite AR188, I can only afford peasant display niah...later tell U which one liao, pay U $ to come over to see also U won't want to lah...

so, what the price eh?harvey norman got oledi ar?

IIANM, based on my previous googling, the 55" is sl80 which is still using ccfl backlit... the LED is sl90 which is only up to 47"..

anyway... is it already in our shore? like to view and test it...

i think got coz the advertisement is in our tv...but where to find this item...anyone who have seen it can give review ar?

Whats the price for this LG?

can pay limpe ah? I will go and chk it out since I also want to go to Aristocrat Ron's pad and anfieldude's home to check out their gears.
