NEC has already announced a new LCD display this week called PA241W aimed at graphics professionals who need accurate color. That screen had a lot of features high-end and as a result had a high price too. NEC has now announced a new budget LCD called AS171.

The screen is a 17-inch unit with a native resolution of 1280 x 1024. The connectivity options including VGA and DVI and the contrast ratio of 900:1. The display has a 5ms response time and position has tilt adjustment. The green features of the display include a rating EPEAT Silver and Energy Star 5.0 and 5.0 of TCO compliance.

NEC promises that the display consumes 21% less energy than the model it replaces, and mercury has 50% less in design than its predecessor. The machine is configured to send in February for $ 159 with a three-year warranty. Kermit would love this thing.

The new Sony BRAVIA XBR-60LX900, XBR-52LX900, 46LX900 and XBR-XBR40LX900 have a feature that I have not found in any other set yet. These games include a new feature called “Intelligent Presence Sensor, which automatically detects the faces of people visiting the set, and optimizes the picture for your viewing pleasure. Under the bright lights of the CES, I find it hard to tell exactly how well they work in a real world situation, but it’s an interesting concept.

Besides being able to adjust the image quality to see the location function, the sets can also be set to prevent children from sitting too near the TV, the screen automatically faint when they get too close.

TheLX900 Sets offer a bright LED edge-lit 1080p LCD, and includes full support to view 3-D programming, both will be sold with a pair of active Full HD 3-D shutter glasses. The exhibition also includes wireless internet access and the ability to Motionflow 240Hz to keep images smooth as silk.

The four models will be delivered sometime this summer. You can register to be notified when the sets are available here. Prices were not announced.

Toshiba 26AV502R with standard definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers are comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is much better than you can sit closer to a larger TV, unaware of the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.
