Post your LCD or Plasma TV.

Post pictures of your LCD or Plasma TV and why you prefer one over the other. I have both, and like each for different reasons. Ihave a 52" Sharp Aquos Quattron LED LCD, and it has a very sharp picture. The other day, I threw my remote across the room (team lost) and it hit the lower left hand corner. Needless to say, I was off to Best Buy. I spent a good two hours checking out a few TV's, and decided to purchase a 59" Samsung Srries 5+ 550 1080p Plasma +1 3D 600hz TV. This TV is pretty awesome. Crisp detail, bright, and it has the deepest blacks if any TV I've ever seen before.
I almost purchased the Samsung Smart TV series, but in my opinion, wasn't worth the $3k+ price tag, consideting Best Buy is kniwn fir slashing prices fairly often. My new TV is a perfect example. It had an original retail price of $1,899 just a month ago, but I got it for $999.

Below is my Sharp Aquos Quttron:
I just purchased the quattron last year from Best Buy. I wasn't happy about breaking it, but now I have a 59" Plasma.
The picture quality on the Plasma is super tight and really crisp. Super deep blacks make for clean definition and clean lines. This is supposed to be the best Plasma TV on the market, and it's looking great so far. It's slso got the loudest speskers I've ever heard on a flat panel. Really freaking loud.

I have a 120hz Samsung LN52B630. Fantastic picture, and the 120hz feature adds depth and clarity. It also has an outstanding built in media player, 4 HDMI inputs, and a swivel base. What's not to like ?
Here's the review I wrote for viewpoints.com:
Great feature set, and well-rounded overall performance.
Overall Rated 5 out of 5.
As the 2009 models are being cleared out to make room for the 2010's, you might want to consider picking up one of these great LCD TV's before they are all gone.The extensive feature-set includes 4 HDMI inputs (3 rear,1 side), 2 USB inputs, and several component inputs, in addition to a PC input. The built-in USB media player has functionality which rivals separate stand alone units, and the inclusion of a swivel base and a slim profile makes placing this unit in tight spaces easier to accomplish than most models in this class.(plus it's really handy having 3 of the 4 HDMI inputs on the back of the set)
Another feature which sets this unit apart from similarly priced 52 inch sets are the separate Blur and Judder reduction controls. This allows you to fine tune the characteristics of 120Hz frame interpolation to your liking, and to adjust for optimal picture quality regardless of the source. Picture quality is very good (although not quite perfect) and immerses you in a quasi 3 dimensional viewing experience.
When you take into consideration the extensive feature set, great picture quality, and close-out prices on this unit, one would be hard pressed to find a better value in a 52" LCD TV.
Grab one of these 1080P sets while you still can.

Westinghouse 46in 1080p 120Hz.
Not a smart TV, but I have a Roku XS so it doesn't matter.
Audio Source Sound Bar
Panasonic Receiver with 5.1 surround sound with HDMI pass through
(yeah, having both the Sound Bar and the Panasonic is overkill, but I use them at different times for different things... The Sound Bar is for news...ect, the receiver I use for movies and well, music
Verizon FiOS Ultimate Movie package (every premium channel available)
Wasn't me!! I didn't do it!

Nice phone for the money.
Be better if kernel source were released so the xda wizards could
do some development.

Already own this. Enhanced version.

do we know if this device gets official MIUI V6 or KitKat in general ?????

MIUI 6 for sure.

This is indeed a nice device.
One question does this device has screen protection such as Gorilla Glass or Dragontrail Glass like Redmi/Hongmi 1s?

Doesn't list it in the specs. Just says it is an IPS-LCD Screen.
IPS stands for in-plane switching. An IPS-LCD is a type of thin display that offers better viewing angles than TFT-LCDs. IPS-LCDs feature two transistors for each pixel, where TFT-LCDs use just one. This requires a more powerful backlight, which delivers more accurate colors, and allows the screen to be viewed from a wider angle. The downside is that an IPS-LCD may consume more power than a TFT-LCD.
IPS-LCDs typically are found on high-end cell phones and portable devices. Apple's iPhone and iPad both feature IPS-LCDs, as does the Motorola Droid.

where can you buy the 16gb version?
i found the 2gb ram version here but it says it only has 8gb
with regard to the 2g/3g it says it supports:
2G: GSM 900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 900/2100MHz
does this mean i would get full HSDPA speeds on the Three network in the UK like i do currently with my Galaxy Note 1 (N7000)

No

May not get. It won't take time to do so for them. When indian companies like xolo did for many 1 year old phones immediately after release, why can't Xiaomi?

http://en.miui.com/thread-67454-1-1.html
All Redmi phones will get MIUI 6 developer version and stable version; We will try our best to release some beta versions by the end of Dec. 2014

I think the device is pretty great for the price tag.
Got some really nice specs of you ask me.
Works great in general use, web surfing with chrome is butter smooth and sweet gaming performance as well.
My only hardware issue is with the camera, despite being a 13 MP camera, it's pretty lame, but still you can get "okay" photos out of it.
And yea Btw, blame Mediatek for the source code. [emoji16]

After the big launch of all metal UMi TOUCH, a 4000mAH big battery, front touch ID and a 13MP Sony camera, the company is now busing moving forward to the next flagship phone.
Our source just confirmed the bazeless phone early rumored as TOUCH X is called UMi SUPER.
Here today we got a design photo showing that the UMi SUPER might equip with Dual-camera.
Unlike the LG G5, Huawei P9 or the latest rumored iPhone 7 pro is following the led, the two cameras are not sitting side by side of each other at the top, instand, the SUPER camera lining up along with the dual flash LED.
They says the Dual-camera is the future of mobile photography because of the hardware limits. There’s only so much you can achieve within the tight constraints of a device that’s less than 9mm thick, and phone companies are looking for alternative means to keep improving.

the camera looks like meizu pro 6.

Yeah, the design in general looks like Meizu

It seems it will have super amoled Display.
UMi SUPER to have Super AMOLED screen for VR
One of the best feature SAMSUNG phone is the Super AMOLED display. In a Super AMOLED display, a touch-sensor is placed over the display (on-cell). The thickness of the touch sensor is just 0.001 mm and this allows the screen to provide better images and to have great visibility even in direct sunlight (Samsung says that they perform 20% better than regular touch AMOLED outdoors).
It seems like Super AMOLED is the most ideal display that deserve to be called “Super Screen”. UMi is likely thinking the same as us. Our insider today leak out the news that UMi SUPER probably will use Super AMOLED to make it as “Super Screen” and live up the name “UMi
Beside, a smartphone with Super AMOLED display will enhance the VR experience. UMi the company already launched their first VR on Amazon. We have all the reason to believe the UMi SUPER will be the next killer along with the VR market.
We don’t have further info yet but we don’t think the SUPER phone will be out anytime soon. So while we are waiting for the truth, the company now is running a giveaway for their current best selling flagship - UMi TOUCH.
Why not to take the chance to test your luck today?!
Mod Edit by @Darth : Link to selling site removed. No more please.

More news about this Umi Super.
UMi Super to have 4000mAh+ battery of its metal body
Battery life and capacity has been a feature that Chinese phone makers have looked at carefully in 2015. Over the past year battery sizes have gotten larger, charging faster and processors more energy-efficient in a bid to give you as much usage through the day.
UMi have also been keen to offer the longest battery life possible and it was made known early on in the company’s latest flagship UMi TOUCH.
Today the company is confirmed the new phone UMi Super will come with 4000mAh battery + quick charging technology via UMi forum. The company also claimed that 5mins charged with UMi Super Quick charging technology support 2hours calling and 30mins charged can last for one day light usage.

Thread cleaned. No more links to sites with sales. Thanks!

Wonder if this phone will have as good/better build than the UMi Touch.

Flagship on a Budget: At $179.99, the UMi Super is All-Metal, Fast, and Beautiful

XDA thanks UMi for sponsoring this thread!
The Super is the latest flagship from UMi, and it’s really intriguing, especially considering the price. We recently did a contest to give one away, and with over 2200 entries, it was our most popular contest ever. Usually the Super is $249.99, an impressive price by all standards, but a $70 coupon (with email sign up) brings the price down to an incredible $179.99, but only for a limited time.
The phone is all-metal, with minimal antenna lines, and within you’ll find a octa-core Helio P10 octa-core CPU, with 4GB RAM, a huge 4,000mAh battery, USB Type-C with fast charging, a Panasonic 13MP camera, fingerprint sensor, and perhaps best of all, stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow with no custom skin. The display is the ideal size for most, at 5.5″, and FHD resolution, and the body remains small thanks to narrow screen bezels. Let’s take a closer look at the UMi Super!
Contest: UMi is giving away five Super phones and 15 VR headsets! Find out more here.
Build Quality and Ergonomics
The design of the UMi Super is thoughtful thanks to an anodizing and polishing process that happens five times to produce a smooth and durable finish on its aircraft-grade aluminum body. The back is curved at 165° which fits the contour of your hand perfectly.

The front uses 2.5D glass for that “infinity edge” that slightly rounds the glass for a smooth, premium feel. The power button is placed easily within reach on the right side, below the volume rocker. All buttons are metal for a solid tactile response.
And the Super is available in three colors: black with black front, silver with white front, or gold with white front.
See more about the creation of the UMi Super below!
Performance and Specs
UMi combined some of the best components to make the Super a standout when it comes to performance. The Mediatek P10 is ultra-efficient with its eight A53 cores that balances performance with power savings, while the Mali-T860 64-bit GPU provides fantastic performance when gaming or doing other video-intensive activities. You get 4GB of Samsung DDR3 RAM, none of which will be hogged by bloatware or a clunky interface, because the Super comes with Stock Android Marshmallow.
The Super has a huge 4,000mAh Sony battery that can provide over a full day of heavy usage. Then, when it’s time to charge, PE+ Quick Charge means you can get 75% charge in just 30 minutes when charged over USB Type-C. Or, just 10 minutes of charging gives you four hours of talk time.
And There’s More
The UMi Super has a customizable LED notification beacon below the screen, which UMi calls the Super Skylight because it gently pulses when you have a new notification. You can pick from up to seven light colors for different apps so that you can easily tell what type of message you have missed.
The 13MP camera, made by Panasonic, launches in just half a second and can focus in less than a third of a second. There is zero shutter lag, and you can even adjust focus after the photo is taken with Magic Focus. You can customize the power button to launch the camera, or any app, with a double press.
Want to maximize screen real estate by using the physical buttons instead of those that are on-screen? The UMi Super lets you switch between two button configurations.
And for security, the Microarray 3D fingerprint scanner will unlock your phone in just 0.1 seconds, regardless of what direction the phone is facing.
How to Buy
The UMi Super is available from a range of global retailers. Remember, if you want the $70 coupon, you must sign up over email! And soon!
