sony professional lcd monitors made in china
(PhysOrg.com) -- Sony is set to begin selling a professional-grade monitor that will contain the largest number of commercial organic light-emitting diodes in a single screen produced to date. The monitor, which was designed for the TV and film production industries, is set to go on sale on May 1. They are expected to be used in locations such as editing bays, satellite trucks and broadcasting control rooms. The OLED screen will have a 25-inch screen. A second model, one that features a smaller 17-inch screen, is expected to go on sale on the first of July.
The OLED is a flat-panel screen technology made up of cells that contain an organic material. The material used omits its own light. This allows the screens to be made thinner than the more well-known LCDs flat screens. The OLED screens are also more power efficient than LCD screens. OLED"s are significantly more expensive to produce than LCD screens, which has hindered their wide-scale adoption, but they handle fast-moving images better. The colors also appear richer on the OLED screens when compared to images shown on the LCDs. Sony hosted a live demonstration of the new monitors at its Tokyo headquarters and played the same video footage on OLED and LCD monitors side-by-side to illustrate this point.
The new monitors will not be cheap. The 25-inch model is expected to cost $28,840. Despite how high that number seems when you compare it to the average home LCD monitor, it will only cost about 10 percent more than the LCD monitors that are currently in production for the film industry.
Let’s see exactly where Sceptre TV’s and monitors are made and if they are as subpar in the quality department as some of the other budget options available.
No, Sceptre TVs are not made by Sony. The Sceptre displays will not be as high quality as those used by Sony, but they aren’t really a competitor for them.
Sony’s displays are made around the world, with manufacturing in countries such as India, Malaysia, Mexico, and Slovakia. As mentioned above, Sceptre displays are created exclusively in China.
The extreme value you get from Sceptre TVs and monitors involves a few factors. They cut corners in areas that more expensive brands do not, but generally, where they cut those corners is in very non-offensive areas.
For example, the first area they cut corners is the build quality. While the monitors don’t feel extremely cheaply made, they are almost exclusively made of plastic. The plastic doesn’t feel terrible, but you generally won’t find any higher quality materials used.
Sceptre manufactures its monitors and televisions in China. This makes them primarily a Chinese company, though they do have a headquarters located in the United States.
They provide great value while still giving you an adequate product for the price. Not much more you can ask for when you are talking about a couple hundred dollars versus multiple thousands of dollars when comparing them to a Sony, Samsung, or LG TV.
