It has recently released two 16:9, 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixel resolution) high definition LCD TVs to add to its existing LCD range. An example of NuVision’s emphasis on pushing technological boundaries is its newly released, and reviewed, 1080p LED DLP rear projection TV, the 52 inch 52LEDLP, which utilizes Luminus’s PhlatLight LED chipset to replace the conventional color wheel and lamp assembly used by DLP systems.

NuVision has engineered its LCD screens to effectively anticipate pixel status for image movement and coloring.

The 47LCM1’s excellent brightness and contrast are attributed to NuVision’s Deep Black LCD technology

NuVision went with SRS TruSurround XT surround sound technology for their 52 inch 52LEDLP RPTV, but with the 47LCM1 have gone for BBE ViVA which is a new High Definition 3D Sound technology which integrates a 3D enhancement effect with BBE High Definition Sound. ViVA creates an authentic and exciting 3D sound effect from stereo speakers while preserving the clarity, definition, presence and texture for which BBE High Definition Sound is noted.

The other 1080p LCD TV released by NuVision is the smaller 42 inch 42LCM1 which has a lower contrast of 1000:1 and a slightly slower response time of 8ms
