BeoVision 4 Plasma HDTV: Robotic Creation From Bang & Olufsen Automatically Calibrates Your Picture

I would bet that the majority of HDTV owners don't have their set calibrated correctly, meaning that they're not taking advantage of their HDTV's maximum resolution. There's a neverending amount of HDTV calibration tutorials to be found on the web, but most of us just don't have the time or inclination to actually learn how to calibrate our sets. That's why Bang & Olufsen have come up with the BeoVision 4 plasma HDTV. With a maximum resolution of 1080p, the BeoVision 4 has a robotic arm built into the back of the set that emerges after every 100 hours of TV viewing, takes a snapshot of the TV screen via a camera on the end of the arm, and then analyzes the picture's color temperature and correctly calibrates the display if it's not optimized for its best possible picture. Sensors in the plasma's hardware system also constantly measure and adjust the sets contrast and brightness levels to make sure your eye is seeing the deepest blacks and most crisp, clear colors possible on the BeoVision 4.

The BeoVision 4 is currently available in a 50-inch screen size for $7500, and a larger 65-inch display will be available in March for whopping $13500. A robotic TV is definitely pretty cool, but the hour you may have to spend reading an internet HDTV calibration tutorial will save you thousands of dollars. Might be worth the time now, eh?
