What is High Definition TV?
The High Definition Advantage
The first thing you need to know about High Definition TV is that is has a 16:9 aspect ratio, capable of delivering the same high quality you see in a movie theatre, making High definition the best picture available on a television screen. The other big selling point is the resolution. HD comes in three different resolutions: 720p, 1080i and 1080p for picture perfect clarity.
What does High Definition Deliver?
To understand what the advantages of High Definition is you need to know a little about how TV works. The images that appear are on your screen are made up of horizontal lines that are constantly being refreshed or scanned. There are normally two types of scanning. These are interlaced(i) and progressive(p). The higher the line count and scanning rate, the better the image will be.
Does it matter if the resolution is interlaced or progressive?
The type of scan is arguable considering the amount of lines for each HD format. Progressive scan is a better type of scan because it doubles the amount of times the TV displays the image per one second in comparison to interlaced. As mentioned, HDTV comes in 720p, 1080i and 1080p resolutions, however, the difference between 720p and 1080i is so minimal that most people could not detect it. While technically 1080p is better than 720p and 1080i, very few programs are made in this resolution so it really isn’t a critical factor at this moment in time.
Live the High (definition) Life
The major benefit of HD is that it will enhance your viewing experience, by enabling you to watch incredible detail such as the dimples on a golf ball or the bark on trees appearing in the background of a movie or sports programme. HDTV offers a smoother more natural look giving you the impression that rather than just looking at a television screen, you are actually looking through a window to the world.
Benefits of High Definition TV
There are many benefits to having High Definition Television. Digital superiority, amazing picture details, progressive scanning, digital audio, no more 'ghost' images and of course a wide viewing area.
Better Picture Quality
The most notable benefit of HDTV is the dramatically improved picture quality. The usual resolution a normal TV can display is 525 scan lines with 480 actually being visible. The usual TV can display a resolution of about 210,000 pixels per image. High Definition TV's can go all the way up to 1920 (horizontal) x 1080 (vertical) pixels, with a total of 2,073,600 pixels per image. That is ten times the resolution and picture quality of usual TV.
Better Sound Quality
HDTV's digital audio sounds better than a standard television's analogue sound, just like digital CDs are superior to analogue radio. All HDTV programs use Dolby Digital sound, which is also used on DVDs. This format is used to transmit two to six channels of audio depending on the program. With these soundtracks driving 6 speakers, Dolby Digital creates a home theatre experience rivaling the best cinema sound.
Future Proofing Your Purchase
With more content becoming available in High Definition and the analogue signal ceasing in 2010, deciding to purchase a HDTV effectively future proofs your investment.
Choosing High Definition TV
So it's time to determine which TV is right for your needs. There are few key questions to answer first before you decide on which HDTV to purchase. The most important decision when buying a TV is where you will put it in your house. There are a lot of models to choose from, but not all of them are right for your particular situation. There are two key factors that go into deciding what TV is right for your needs.
What type of Screen should I buy?
Another important factor in purchasing a HDTV is of course your budget. When determining how much you wish to spend consider the following before making your decision:
How often is your current television on at home?
Most Australians have their set on for more than 6 hours a day, every day of the year. It is the primary source of entertainment in our homes; you will use this more often and with greater enjoyment than almost any other product you own with the exception of your bed. Bearing this in mind make sure that you budget accordingly.
Is this replacing your main TV or is it a secondary set?
If your new TV will be the one that is used most often, then it’s worth spending a bit more on it. If it is a secondary set, say for the bedroom or kitchen, while you may not need to spring for a larger picture, you might want to invest in different design and mounting options.
Plasma TV Overview
Plasma television technology is based loosely on the fluorescent light bulb. The display itself consists of cells. Within each cell two glass panels are separated by a narrow gap in which neon-xenon gas is injected and sealed in plasma form during the manufacturing process. The gas is electrically charged at specific intervals when the Plasma set is in use. The charged gas then strikes red, green, and blue phosphors, thus creating a television image. Each group of red, green, and blue phosphors is called a pixel (picture element).
Although Plasma television technology eliminate the need for the bulky picture tube and electron beam scanning of traditional televisions, because it still employs the burning of phosphors to generate an image, Plasma televisions still suffer from some of the drawbacks of traditional televisions, such as heat generation and screen-burn of static images.
LCD TV Overview
LCD televisions, on the other hand, use a different technology (see also question #1 for this same explanation).
Basically, LCD panels are made of two layers of transparent material, which are polarized, and are "glued" together. One of the layers is coated with a special polymer that holds the individual liquid crystals. Current is then passed through individual crystals, which allow the crystals to pass or block light to create images. LCD crystals do not produce their own light, so an external light source, such as florescent bulb is needed for the image created by the LCD to become visible to the viewer.
Unlike standard CRT and Plasma televisions, since there are no phosphors that light up, less power is needed for operation and the light source in an LCD television generates less heat than a Plasma or traditional television. Also, because of the nature of LCD technology, there is no radiation emitted from the screen itself.
LCD TV advantages over Plasma TV:
1. No burn-in of static images.
2. Cooler running temperature.
3. No high altitude use issues.
4. Increased image brightness over Plasma.
5. Lighter weight (when comparing same screen sizes) than Plasma counterparts.
6. Longer display life used to be a factor, but now LCD and Plasma sets both have at least 60,000 hour or higher lifespans.
