LED TV

There are loads of people who are confused about LCD and LED. The technology used in LED are still LCD. The LED part is just the back lighting used, replacing the old fluorescent.

Personally, in office builds I prefer to use commercial grade LCD as they are more aesthetically pleasing than the industrial version, although the industrial version lasts a bit longer (ie longer lifetime). The commercial versions come in multiple colours too which will please the ID consultants. Also, I am amazed at how thin the new TV's have become. This will make for some interesting designs.

OLEDS

OLEDs are solid-state devices composed of thin films of organic molecules thinner than a human hair that create light when you apply electricity to it. OLEDs are supposed to provide better, brighter and crisper displays on electronic devices and use less power than conventional LEDs or LCDs used today. Current usage of OLEDS are on handphones, car audio systems and other small electrical/ electronic devices. There is a push to have it on more larger display devices such as TVs or monitors. Imagine having a whole window glass pane (about 4 feet x 8 feet) as your TV monitor..... men around the world are salivating thinking about watching theirs favourite football matches..... heheh... although I personally think that I prefer for holographic projection technology to advance at a better rate.

Malaysia is boleh boleh boleh

Malaysia I guess is a land of opportunities. It is here that anyone can be anyone even if you are not qualified or have no backgound skill set on a particular industry or job. Just look at all the indonesians and bangladeshi workers here. Do you think that they were sent for training? For them semua boleh... just ask them if they can lay bricks or mix cement / concrete / mortar. Then ask them the next day if they build you a home completely of wood and they will say boleh as if they are some super wood worker with years of carpentry skills or try asking if they can be a ship welder and surely you can expect the answer to be BOLEH!

Similarly a lot of the electrical wiring contractors here not qualified wireman. Sure they may know how to lay a conduit and pull some wires but they would not have been trained or qualified on how to terminate the wires in a safe and professional manner. The best is if the wireman starts thinking of expanding his jobscope into extra low voltage or elv systems. They would not have any training at all on technical requirements for elv systems. To them it is just another wire that can be pulled. I am sure they would not know about EMF or other types of magnetic interference and how badly it can affect elv systems. Grounding the system properly is also a major problem for elv.

Another practice I see here is the contractor trying to fit into a consultants shoes. How can this benefit the client? In the projects business, the client is the most important person. We must see to it that he has all his needs addressed in a proper and professional manner and that he must not be shortchanged in his requirements. Most contractors will definitely quote the brands that he is a dealer of. He would not be able to show true independence thus limiting the choices for the client. This will definitely not be a fair deal for the client. Clients too must insist on their rights even if the budget is tight. There might be an exception to this rule if the system is of a simple design type consisting of maybe 2 to 3 equipment only or even a mobile DJ system.

Product Introduction

Went to a seminar yesterday held by a local AV company in one of the hotels here. The product is about a conferencing system which is fairly new in the market in Malaysia and the seminar was more about hard selling this product to the end-users, consultants, rental companies and dealers. The seminar was quite boring and difficult to understand as the speakers were from Germany and China respectively, both of which are working for the manufacturer from China. The accents were so thick you can cut it with a knife. The german guy had better pronunciation than the China lady. They should have gotten a professional presenter as this would have made it more interesting and would have made a better impact on the seminar. Instead there the droning sound of the german and the chinese which I am sure put half the seminar attendees to sleep within the first half hour and it was a whole day seminar! There was also no technical evaluation on why the product is much better than it's competitors except what was claimed by the manufacturer. Anyway the thing that saved the day I think was the fairly good food that was served through the day. At least no skimping on that part.
