Hd Tvs

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

 

If you’re one of the Flintstones, you may still be using an old-fashioned curved-screen television. It’s time to switch up to one of the new DLP TV, don’t you think?

All types of flat panel televisions - from LCD display televisions to plasma TVs and projector units, are superior to old screens in a variety of ways. They don’t lose definition when seen from the edges, making those least-desired seats in your living room perfectly acceptable. They also have significantly better resolution than old-style televisions. You may still be able to make out the pixels when you sit close, but because high def television sets use digital technology instead of less-accurate analog, they have a much superior picture, either in still frames or motion. And they are designed to work well with all the latest technology, from blu-ray to HDTV.

Up until recently, flat-screen sets have been on the expensive side, and a lot of people who needed a new set were waiting until the prices came down a little. Well - it’s time. Small LCD TVs cost what an old-fashioned television would cost, if you could still find them, and even the large screens are often under a thousand dollars.

How Come I Can Not Get My HDTV To Show HD Quality?

Friday, August 29th, 2008

 

Ok, you buy yourself a Hitachi Plasma 42 inch HDTV and you connect it to an HD receiver from your cable or satellite company. All your cables are set up right, you even bought the top of the line cables. You sit back, grab the remote, turn it on and your 42 inch Hitachi HDTV comes to life. BUT, for the life of you, you can’t tell the difference between this picture and the one you were getting on your old color TV. What the heck is going on?!?

Not all channels or programs are created equal. In order to get this great High Definition your were promised the channel you are watching AND the program you are watching need to be in HD. Programs like I Love Lucy and All in the Family are not going to be HD. Most of the new programs in prime time are HD. All channels are converted or in the process of converting over to HD so finding a channel in HD is getting easier every day. Keep in mind that just because the channel in broadcasting in HD doesn’t mean the program is in HD, both channel and program need to be HD to get the great High Definition your looking for.

So, look for the HD Logo from your TV station and at the beginning of the new TV show during prime time, sit back and enjoy the show. OH, and don’t forget the popcorn!

 

Can You Really Notice The Difference Between HDTV and TV Or A DVD?

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

 

I here this one all the time; do you really see the difference between HDTV and TV or DVD?

In most cases, yes. The story I always tell is of my first experience seeing HDTV. I was watching a Penn State football game, the camera zoom in on the quarter back and you could see the hairs on his arm. You won’t see that kind of detail on TV or DVD.  If your DVD player has built in up-converting circuitry, that’s where your DVD player with it’s 480p of res can digitally enhances it to near 720p, you’ll see a mush sharper image although still not of the quality of HDTV.

Keep in mind, just because you have an HDTV, that doesn’t mean you will see everything in High Depth. You need to be watching a  channel that is in broadcasting in HD. Not all channels are currently sending a true HD signal.
