Sony’s new Bravia XBR 70-inch LCD provides a full high-definition panel resolution of 1,920 pixels by 1,080 pixels. The LCD features the Bravia Engine Pro, a proprietary video-processing system from Sony. In addition, the Bravia XBR 70 also has a 178-degree viewing angle, so you get the same picture quality from the side. Unfortunately, the Bravia XBR LCD will cost you a hefty $33,000 when it ships to stores next month.

Sony’s new 70 inches Bravia LCD TV provides a brighter image than the previous models because it utilities a LED backlight. In addition, this new LCD TV is “Full HD†which means it supports a 1080p resolution. Too bad, the product demonstration was featuring a poor-quality video blown up to 70 inch.

HP introduced their new 30-inch LCD screen, the LP3065, that provides 2560 x 1600 resolution, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 92% color gamut, three dual-link DVI-D inputs , and a 178-degree viewing angle. Extremetech has a deep review of this LCD screen. Here is the bottom line.
HP took a little extra time to jump into the big screen LCD fray, but being late to the party allowed them to deliver a 92% gamut display that offers superb image quality and fast response times. About the only downside is the price. At $1,699, the LP3065 is about $400 more than the current best price for the Dell 3007WFP. For that extra cash, you get a wider color gamut and three DVI ports. Response time differences are minimal, but the overall image quality is better, particularly in rich color images and video.
The HP LP3065 is now on sale for around $1,600.

Korean Giant Samsung claims its new 22-inch CX225MD to be a “Full-HD†support LCD screen. However, it only offers 1680 x 1050 native resolution, instead of the correct 1920 x 1080 (1080p). On the plus side, the screen features an usual 5ms response time, HDMI, component inputs, an HDCP-enabled DVI port, and a built-in TV tuner. Pricing and availability have not yet been announced.

The Viewsonic VG2230wm is probably the best 22 inch LCD screen I’ve seen so far. With a 1680×1050 resolution, 700:1 contrast ratio, 5ms response time, 280cd/m2 brightness, and 2W x 2 speakers, this LCD screen also features height adjustment, tilt, and rotation. Pricing and availability have not been announced yet, but there’s a generous review over at TrustedReviews.
The problems with the Viewsonic are that the contrast could be better, the speakers are a disappointment. However, the brightness, sharpness and vivid images are all a plus as well as its height adjustment, screen size and resolution. The Viewsonic VG2230wm is a good screen and the pick of the 22in bunch, but you’ll have to decide if you should pay more for the slightly smaller but even better Samsung 215TW.
