I have very simple requirements:
-I don't care about 3D
-I don't care about smart tvs, browsing, apps
-I don't care about built-in sound
-I don't care about very thin tvs
But I do care about having the best possible video quality.
-A large dynamic range with accurate gamma and good blacks(plasma or LED array?)
-natural movement (plasma or black-frame insertion/flashing backlight? 24p content should be shown with a smooth, even progress. Sceptical about heavily processed motion interpolation and would rather have a panel/backlight that does the right thing in the first place - cinemas have been able to for 50 years or more....)
-1:1 pixel,
-4:4:4 video (don't tell me that you have to subsample a a 2mpix buffer in 2011...)
-precise colors (preferreable reasonably good factory calibration).
-Spatial or temporal dithering should, if present, be invisible at normal viewing distances.
-I also tend to be annoyed by gui/remote that is slow, cluttered and unintuitive.
My main source would be 1080p24 bluray from a PC over HDMI so I want the HDMI input to be 1080p24/50/60 capable (without rate-conversion), 1:1 pixel (no scaling/overscan), 4:4:4 (no chroma subsampling of my menues, please). Moderate latency is required, but I don't need the most extreme.
I think that 45-50" would do, and my room is semi-darkened (one window only, with heavy drapers). I don't think that reflections will be a big problem, and I am not all that concerned with off-angle image quality.
What tv would be right for me? Philips 9706? Sony hx92x? Panasonic VT30?
