On October 8, 2011 at 6 PM and again on October 9, 2011 at 1 PM we hosted our 7th annual HDTV shoot-out. This year’s flagship competitive offering of flat panel displays from every major manufacturer will be on display and we will award one manufacturer the honor of “King of HDTV” based on comparison and evaluation from TV experts and audience members.  Here is a pdf file on the results of the attendees two days of voting for the "King of HDTV".    Here's the .pdf of the Onscreen ANSI Contrast Ratios and MLL measurements.   And finally here's the ballots of the three professional calibrators, Kevin Miller, DeWayner (D-Nice) Davis and Ed Johnson.   Upon request we can email the ballots of our staff of a/v senior technicians, and our staff, including myself.

Kevin Miller is our master calibrator and keynote speaker. Kevin is an ISF charter member/instructor, professional reviewer, and industry consultant. Professional calibrators D-Nice and Ed Johnson assisted Kevin with the calibrations and were on hand to make presentation and answer questions. Other surprise speakers that are industry leaders and display development engineers also participated. The event benefited by the live audience carefully selected from the motion picture and TV Broadcast industries as well as serious a/v enthusiasts and the press. The recordings of both days of the event is now available on our YouTube page.

Our home page has the pre and post calibration reports posted for each TV in shoot-out along with .pdf data sheets.

Our shoot-out is the only industry wide evaluation that includes every major premium manufacturer's HDTV.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.

Best regards,

-Robert
