What is HDTV?High definition television is the highest form of digital television. It has a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is the same as a movie theater screen.

It comes in three different flavors: 720p, 1080i and 1080p.Read more... |

Get the Scoop - 1080i and 1080p are both High Definition display formats for HDTVs.
1080i and 1080p signals actually contain the same information. Both 1080i and
1080p represent a 1920x1080 pixel resolution (1,920 pixels across the screen by
1,080 pixels down the screen). The difference between 1080i and 1080p is in the
way the signal is sent from a source component or displayed on an HDTV screen.

Projector ScreensHome theater projectors are best for viewing Sports and DVD movies. If you watch mostly regular TV, an LCD/DLP projector may be an expensive option as the bulb would need to be changed after 1,000 to 2,000 hours of viewing (some projectors now have upwards of 3,000 bulb life; and this continues to improve). Also, make sure you have the proper room size for your projector.Read More... |
Plasma or LCD?This is a complicated topic: when choosing between LCD and plasma TVs, you're actually selecting between two competing technologies, both of which achieve similar features (i.e., bright, crystal-clear images, super color saturated pictures) and come in similar packages (i.e., 3.5 to 5 inch depth flat screen casing). To complicate the decision-making process further, price and size are two previous considerations that are rapidly becoming non-issues as LCDs are now being made in larger sizes and at competing prices with plasma TVs.Read more... |
Digital TV v.s Analog TVThe difference between Analog TV and Digital TV boils down to the way the TV signal is transmitted. Standard analog TV is transmitted in a manner similar to radio. In fact, the video signal of analog television is transmitted in AM, while the audio is transmitted in FM. Analog TV is subject to interference, such as ghosting and snow, depending on the distance and geographical location of the TV receiving the signal. In addition, the amount of bandwidth assigned to an analog TV channel restricts the resolution and overall quality of the image. The current analog TV signal standard (in the U.S.) is referred to as NTSC.Read More... |
