Dolby's 46-Inch Prototype LCD TV Gives Us A Glimpse Into The Future Of HDTV's

Dolby and Sim2 debuted a prototype 46-inch "high-dynamic-range (HDR)-enabled LCD flat-screen display" yesterday, giving us a look into the future at the next-generation of HDTV's. Using Dolby's LED local dimming technology and Sim2's backlight unit, the prototype LCD "matches real-world visual perception" and features 1838 LEDs, 1080p resolution, infinite contrast ratio, a brightness of greater than 4000 cd/m2 and 16 bits of luminescence through more than 95% of the panel.

The prototype also uses a Xilinx Virtex field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) chipset that allows Dolby's HDR algorithms to mesh properly with Sim2's display.
