One of the biggest challenges to be faced by the Dune HD Pro (other than consumers accepting their pricing strategy), is the Cinavia DRM system. While I couldn't elicit any official response from the Dune
representatives, I understood that

Cinavia DRM was included in the latest SDK supplied by Sigma The Cinavia behavior with that SDK wasn't the same as that of the PS3.
Since the SDK is quite immature, not much can be inferred from the current state. However, Cinavia is a threat that Dune is perfectly aware of. It will be quite interesting to see how it is handled.

The Truth About LED TV

Mea Culpa — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 01:10:23 +0800

There has been a lot of hype and confusion surrounding the introduction of "LED" Televisions. Even many marketing representatives and sales professionals that should know better are falsely explaining what an LED Television is to their prospective customers.

To set the record straight, it is important to note that the LED designation refers to the backlight system used in many newer LCD Televisions, not the chips that produce the image content.

LCD chips and pixels do not produce their own light. In order for an LCD television to produce a visible image on a TV screen the LCD's pixels have to be "backlit". For more specifics on the backlighting process needed for LCD Televisions, refer to my article: Demystifying CRT, Plasma, LCD, and DLP Television Technologies.

LED TVs are still LCD TVs. It is just that these new sets use LED backlights rather than the fluorescent-type backlights used in most other LCD TVs.

In other words, LED TVs should actually be labeled LCD/LED TVs.

The term LED TV is misnomer. I am not saying that LED TV is same as LCD TV but I am saying that recognizing LED TV as an entirely separate technology is wrong.

[addedon]December 14, 2011, 1:21 am[/addedon]The point I'm trying to make here is, there are no significant advantage of LED LCD TV Vs. Regular LCD TV.

LCD TVs are quite cheap nowadays, around RM1200++ for 42 inch. Pick them up!! forget about high specs LED based.

IMO "LED" TV should be cheaper than regular LCD TV, they do away with the circuitry for high tension voltage used to ionized the florescent lamp, why they aren't cheaper?

Local dimming cost? No, this is only found in high-end LED. Those that are priced above 5k+ .This features a look-up processor.

I guess the extra cost goes to marketing + extra profit margin.

Go to any TV shop, they'll always recommends LED over plasma or LCD.
