Gateway’s New SHD-3010 30-inch LCD TV

By Ian Bell Updated February 3, 2005

Its estimated useful life is 50,000 hours, twice the life of many popular thin TVs that only provide 25,000 hours of viewing time.

The SHD-3010 allows you to watch movie in letterbox format or the traditional 4:3 format.

The SHD-3010’s 170-degree viewing angle displays images from virtually anywhere in the room. The lightweight TV weighing just 30.9 pounds can be wall-mounted or used with a table top stand.

The SHD-3010 measures 20.50 inches high by 29.13 inches wide by 4 inches deep. Pictures provide extreme clarity and detail thanks to 1280 x 768 resolution, a 750:1 contrast ratio and a peak brightness of 600 nits.

A “picture-in-picture” function makes it possible to use the computer and watch TV simultaneously. For instance, customers can surf the Web for stats while keeping an eye on their football team. In addition, zoom and freeze functions ensure they don’t miss important details of their favorite programs.

The LCD TV also has a built-in NTSC tuner for viewing standard analog TV signals, two built-in 5-watt speakers and works with multiple external devices, such as DVD players.

Gateway supports its 30-inch HD-Ready LCD TV with a one-year limited warranty and offers a wide range of extended service and support plans.

Why you should buy the Samsung 65-inch S95B OLED TV
Samsung is usually better known for being one of the best TV brands when it comes to QLED technology but it's recently moved into offering up OLED panels too like the Samsung 65-inch S95B OLED TV. It's a truly exceptional TV for picture quality. In Samsung's words, it's made OLED better by adding QD (Quantum Dots) so you get incredible detail along with pure blacks, vibrant colors, and exceptional screen brightness. Thanks to OLED technology, each of the 8.3 million pixels can self-illuminate so you get a movie theater-style like experience. In conjunction with that, there's quantum HDR OLED technology with an expanded dynamic range. That's all further assisted by Samsung's Neural Quantum processor with 4K upscaling so that the picture is optimized scene-by-scene.
