Cheers Phil  very professional as per usual.

Re: IFA 2008 - Toshiba, Samsung and LG stands
You know you're going to upset the Sony fanboys by saying the A786 has RGB LED's and DNLA don't you? lol
I thought it was confirmed that it had white LED's and no DNLA, if so sticker right the red, green and blue must be very very misleading... and will catch quite a few people out.

Re: IFA 2008 - Toshiba, Samsung and LG stands
I also thinking this TV has white LEDs but I would be very happy if there were RGB LEDs.
Have anyone of you more information about the technique?
(Maybe the reporter has drinking to much German "Bier".  ) |

Was going on the information supplied on the stand (which is all you can do at these shows) if that is the case then apologies if I have quoted items that are not there, just using the specs supplied with each TV on the stand.

Re: IFA 2008 - Toshiba, Samsung and LG stands
One thing I did notice, in the part with the XDE, the contrast on those Toshiba Tv's really does quite poor.
