The Sony HDTV XBR-55X850 Review

Product Review – Sony HDTV XBR-55X850: 

The 55-inch Sony HDTV XBR-55X850 4K Ultra HD TV redefines clarity and detail by offering 4x the clarity of full HD 1080 resolution, 4K X-Reality PRO, Motionflow XR-960, TRILUMINOS display technology, and a Dynamic Edge LED backlight. Its built-in Wi-Fi also expands your media content source.

How Much?
Originally, the Sony HDTV XBR-55X850 4K Ultra HD TV was originally available for $4,499.99, but now it has been discounted to only $2,999.99. Certain stores and website of course may offer sales, coupons, and other discounts.

Who Would Buy This?
TV viewers who put a high value on detail, clarity and color would definitely place the Sony HDTV XBR-55X850 4K Ultra HD TV high on their shopping list. Users who also enjoy watching videos from sites such as Netflix and Hulu Plus are also expected to line up to get their hands on this beauty.

Things We Like:

We already love the full HD 1080p display of Sony’s latest line of HDTVs. However, once converted to 4K ultra HD viewing, the picture is much sharper and clearer, and the details become more defined and accurate. Even the non-HD online content streamed directly from online sites will look HD when shown on the 55-inch LED backlit screen.

One standout feature of the Sony HDTV XBR-55X850 4K Ultra HD TV is the PC/Game quality you’ll get from it. There are no blurring or lagging, and the monitor certainly amps up your competitive streak, since you’ll be watching your game interface in 4K ultra high definition.

The design of this TV is also appreciated by many. It has a thin profile, so space is not a problem. There are no large or silly-looking speakers on the side bar edge, but you still get very clear and loud sound. Of course, another thing to like about the Sony HDTV XBR-55X850 4K Ultra HD TV is the availability of content on the media player, including demos and new movies and TV shows.

Sony also chose to give this unit an HDMI 2.0 firmware, which you can upgrade in the future. This is a sign of preparedness for future innovations and advancements in 4K ultra high definition technology, a move that does not go unacknowledged and unappreciated by users.

Things We Don’t Like:
The manual of the Sony HDTV XBR-55X850 4K Ultra HD TV could do with a bit of improvement. It’s not as detailed or as informative as one would expect, especially from a 250-page manual.


Guarantee?
The warranty card of the Sony HDTV XBR-55X850 4K Ultra HD TV is good for a period of 18 months.


Is It Worth The Money?
With the recent price cut on this product, it has become, more than ever before, worth your hard-earned money. This is one purchase you’ll never regret for a long time to come.

Final Thoughts:

When regular HD just doesn’t cut it anymore, then go 4K! The Sony HDTV XBR-55X850 4K Ultra HD TV will give you the highest – and best – HD experience you have ever seen.

Samsung WB35F Smart Camera Review

Product Review:
The Samsung WB35F is one of the newest members of Samsung’s WB family of smart cameras. With a 12X optical zoom, 16-Megapixel CCD sensor, Optical Image Stabilization, and NFC/Wi-Fi connectivity, users will be able to capture sharply defined and vibrant images with every shot.

How Much?
As with a lot of digital or smart cameras, the price may vary depending on where you look. Prices can range from $120.99 to $125.99. This camera is available on Amazon, so that might be a good starting point to shop and further review the item.




Who Would Buy This?
The Samsung WB35F is the perfect camera for photographers who are always on the go and want a camera that delivers stunning and non-blurry images, even from a long distance. Those who won’t settle for anything less than HD will also fall in love with the HQ quality of the video recording mode of this camera. This is also a promising choice for those who are looking for a camera with wireless connectivity without  breaking the bank.

Things We Like:
As expected from Samsung, the Samsung WB35F offers sharp detail and definition as well as color vibrancy in its captured images. But what we really liked about this model is how it allows you to enjoy long zoom capabilities without having to tote a large and bulky camera. It’s very portable and even comes in various stylish colors, so you can bring it with you anywhere.

Having the latest NFC and Wi-Fi connectivity is a definite plus in this model’s favor, and that is mainly because of its ‘Tag & Go’ feature. As the name implies, all you have to do is tag your camera with any smartphone or Android device by touching them together, then you can go on and start enjoying its user-friendly functionalities such as transferring images, backing them up automatically, and even setting up shots then sharing them. Wireless networking also provides support for remote live view, which turns your smartphone into a viewfinder that you can easily use to control the camera.

Another feature worthy of note about the Samsung WB35F is its video mode capability, which can capture HD video recordings and render them in equally high definition quality.


Is It Worth The Money?
With such great features packed into one portable and stylish package, there is no doubt that whatever price tag Samsung will attach to the Samsung WB35F is going to be worth it.

Final Thoughts:
Samsung is certainly stepping up its game when it comes to its portable cameras, and the Samsung WB35F, with its long-zoom capabilities, HD quality video, and connectivity features, is one major player you should most definitely get your hands on once it’s out.

Review: VIZIO M492i

Product Review:
At 49 inches, many would say that the VIZIO M492i 1080p Smart Full Array LED TV is just the right size for home entertainment purposes. But the real beauty of this unit lies in its amazing picture quality, upgraded Internet Apps feature, and built-in Wi-Fi.

How Much?
The VIZIO M492i Full Array Smart LED TV’s manufacturer’s suggested retail price is set at $699.99.

Who Would Buy This?
It is a good thing that users can now have their pick of the perfect size of their televisions. The VIZIO M492i Full Array Smart LED TV is a decent size, and it is also very affordable. Budget TV shoppers will definitely want to throw their money on this unit, which is just the right size, and at the right price.

Things We Like:
We can never say enough good things about the full array LED backlighting that Vizio has incorporated into its M Series, particularly the VIZIO M492i Full Array Smart LED TV. When it comes to picture quality, people are under the impression that the key lies in the picture engine, or the exclusive technology applied by the manufacturer in the design. However, backlighting can also work wonders with the picture quality, and Vizio hit the jackpot right on the head with this one.
The advanced local dimming technology of Vizio’s LED backlighting technology plays a huge role in this upgrade. It makes use of 32 zones – the usual number found in other LED TVs – which are all instrumental in improving contrast control of the picture.

Some say that the only way to fix contrast problems is to address them at the pixel level. The VIZIO M492i Full Array Smart LED TV definitely addresses that through the Active Pixel Tuning, which provides very reliable support to the Active LED local dimming feature.
We all love TVs that let us connect to the internet so we can have more media sources. Online videos can now be streamed, and that is made possible by the Vizio Internet Apps Plus. Streaming is smooth and seamless, and you will have definitely a wealth of media that you can enjoy on your very own 49-inch VIZIO M492i Full Array Smart LED TV.


Guarantee?
Vizio has not yet made any announcements regarding the warranty on the VIZIO M492i Full Array Smart LED TV.

Is It Worth The Money?
Vizio has been designing its latest HDTV collection with the value shopper in mind, so it is safe to say that the VIZIO M492i Full Array Smart LED TV, at $699.99, is worth the money.


Where Can I Buy?
You can buy the VIZIO M492i Full Array Smart LED TV from Vizio, or other recognized and trusted sellers, including Amazon, where you are likely to get it at a discount, with Free Shipping.




Final Thoughts:
Be a smart shopper and spend your money on quality without going overboard! The VIZIO M492i Full Array Smart LED TV is definitely every smart shopper’s smart TV.
