Hej fellow nerds

Jeg står i den situation, hvor jeg skal ud at have nyt fjernsyn og egentlig har forelsket mig lidt i Toshibas 42SL863, som jeg har set på i Elgiganten. Derfor er jeg egentlig meget interesseret i at høre om folk har erfaringen med denne skærm og om dette er et godt valg i forhold til at skulle se almindelig fjernsyn på (fodbold især) og meget lidt spil (PS3).
Noget af det, som har fanget mig ved denne skærm, er at den skulle have lyssensor og derved selv regulere skærmbillede, hvilket er vigtigt, da jeg i løbet af dagen kommer til at få sollys direkte ind på skærmen.

Derudover vil jeg høre om folk har råd omkring alternativer i 40-42" i LED til nogenlunde samme prisklasse. Derudover skal det siges, at jeg ikke går alverden op i 3D og diverse smart-funktioner, men fjernsynet må meget gerne have mulighed for det sidste. Vigtigst er dog at jeg får et godt 100hz LED-fjernsyn.

Det velestimerede site AVForums.com skriver følgende om VL863:


Summary

Whilst the VL863 is not without its merits as a 2D TV, the disappointing black levels, with LED Backlight Control deactivated, or set to low, had the knock-on effect of giving distinctly average contrast performance. Set the backlight control to Medium or High and blacks and contrast received a considerable boost but at the expense of losing details in the dark areas and inducing a flash lighting effect around people and objects in dark scenes. A case of choose your poison, alas.

[...]

We can't imagine the VL863 as a TV for those whose viewing is primarily done in the evening, or low light conditions, as its black levels and contrast performance are certainly lacking in that kind of environment but we can certainly envisage it being a very good choice for a brightly lit family room where a spot of gaming and 3D might be the order of the day. In the final analysis it's just a little too niche a product, for us, to receive a badge but don't count it out for the day room!

Picture Quality – 2D

Where the VL863 didn't convince was in its black levels and contrast performance with only compromised options at the users disposal. We have to admit to a degree of fiddling around with the LED Backlight control to find a happy medium between respectable black levels and maintaining detail in the dark areas but we never really found it.

The VL863 really shone with bright, punchy material such as Disney animations and also held its own in daytime conditions where the matte screen proved an advantage in ameliorating the effects of reflections so it's certainly one to consider for a family room that receives plenty of light and plenty of use from younger members of the family - yes, we're saying it's a good TV for kids!


Conclusion

All in all, the VL863 is a bit of mixed bag that we'd certainly not recommend to those whose critical viewing is done with the lights down low but the outright luminance and decent viewing angles (on the horizontal axis) the panel provided certainly means it's not without its merits. Panel uniformity was certainly better than a lot of the edge-lit sets we see with just some pooling at the corners and continues the trend of IPS panels seeming to offer better uniformity, when paired with edge mounted LEDs, than other panel types.




Alternative modeller – med mat skærm – kunne være:

• Philips PFL7606 (link)

• Sharp LE831 (link)

• Sony EX720 (link)

Er VL863'eren samme model, som SL863, hvis man altså kigger bort fra 3D-funktionen?

Derudover ligger både Sharp'en og Philips'en lidt over hvad jeg egentlig vil give og hvad jeg har behov for. Selvom det er to lækre fjernsyn. Og for at være helt ærlig, så har jeg ikke ville købe Sony, da jeg tidligere har haft to af deres fjernsyn, som er gået i stykker relativt hurtigt, altså 2-3 år gamle, hvilket har gjort at jeg er ret skeptisk overfor dem.
