Value Electronics TV Shootout Evaluation Tests Products in Several Areas of Performance

Value Electronics points out that judges will be led through the voting ballot, with test patterns and then real content used to demonstrate each category evaluated, including contrast, color fidelity, color saturation, and motion resolution. An expert panel of professional Hollywood video colorists, film finishers, TV reviewers, and video experts have been assembled to judge, evaluate, and vote on all picture quality attributes to determine which TV will be crowned this year’s “King of TV.”

“After hosting the event in New York City venues for many years, we are glad to be bringing the TV Shootout back to its roots and hosting it in our Scarsdale, NY store where it first originated,” says event creator, Robert Zohn of Value Electronics. “This side-by-side comparison will show off each display’s capabilities. This is a must-see event for all who are interested in the best video displays.”

AVPro Global is supplying the latest state-of-the-art switching, distribution, and test equipment. Magnetar’s UDP-900 flagship 4K universal player and Kaleidescape’s Strato V will be the reference sources for content. Sony Professional’s BVM-HX3110 mastering monitors will be used as the reference to compare all displays against.

The Value Electronics TV Shootout opening remarks, and manufacturers’ presentations will be webcast live to reach the largest audience of A/V enthusiasts and media.
