A Primer To Hdtv

By Erin Song


Are you in the market for an HDTV by any chance? If you are, then by all means read on as we give you a brief look at HDTV.

What does HDTV stand for?

It stands for High Definition Television.

Defining HDTV

This is a revolutionary way of filming that takes technology to the next level with increased resolution which makes programs appear more life-like. When it comes to high definition programming, you would usually think of sports events, which is correct. You would need to use a special camera for HDTV filming.

How would you know if it's HDTV or not?

You will know if a television set is such by looking at the box or model number. HDTV is a completely different animal from EDTV! There is another side aspect most people overlook due to pricing schemes and that is pixel depth. The cheaper plasmas and LCD have lower clarity or pixels. Therefore, to buy a great HDTV, you need to look for higher pixel resolutions.

Why Should I Buy One?

HDTV sets and conventional television sets are like yin and yang. There is no comparing an HD Television Program either with a film shown at a movie theater, because HDTV ensures ten times better resolution! Indeed, HDTV is not your daddy's television set as there are more features than you can shake a stick at. They usually have ports for connecting to computers to act as a computer monitor, split screen, more aspect ratios for watching in different formats. Since the cameras have have been improved to record HD programs, they also went ahead and improved the sound recording system and so you have even higher quality sound to go along with the improved picture.

As HDTV has been available in the market for quite some time already, it is less buggy than before. On top of all this, prices have fallen as of recent years, as it is now possible to get a 32-42 incher for just two thousand dollars and get all those cool new features in it!

Any last words when it comes to shopping for a HDTV screen?

Take note that cables can be costly. You will need to buy several kinds of cable, including HDMI and RGB, and these can cost you about $35 to 50 apiece. In addition, please research whether you should buy an LCD or Plasma screen, because based on you use and room arrangements you will require one or the other.
