| Samsung LE40N73 40in LCD TV
With most manufacturers now comfortable with the basics of LCD TV production, were starting to see a sudden, widespread and welcome charge to tackle the seemingly intractable technological problems that are arguably stoping big-screen LCDs from reaching the same giddy picture quality heights as the best plasmas out there. In the case of Samsungs 40in LE40N73, this problem solving drive is focused on the rather key area of colour. Usually LCDs struggle to deliver a wide and believable colour range, but Samsung has come up with what it claims is a solution in the form of eXtended Wide Colour Gamut (XWCG): a new backlight phosphor solution that apparently produces up to 30 per cent more of the real world colour gamut than LCD can usually manage. Well get to whether this new feature works shortly, but in the meantime weve got some genuinely extravagant aesthetics to cover.
