Big is Better ! – The 40inch LCD…..

November 12th,2008

A few months back, I had gone over to a friends place in Delhi.  He is a photography buff as well and, he asked me to get a few images on a USB stick. I had just got back from Tadoba. So  I promptly dumped a bunch of straight out of the camera jpegs into a flash drive and, went over to his place.

He plugged in the flash drive to his Sony 40 inch TV and ran a slideshow.  My jaw just dropped at what I saw. The big screen makes such a huge difference that, you have to see it, to believe it.

The pictures, pretty much jumped out of the screen and,  it seemed to me that I was back in the “transparency days” ! The Sony “X” series can also be colour calibrated and used as an external monitor as well. I am not saying that this is like an Eizo graphics monitor  but,  it is a 10 bit panel and the TV runs a customised embedded linux operating system.

You could try it out at any of the Sony showrooms I would think.  So go on try it, I would interested to hear if it impressed you !
