2008 High Definition TV Buying Guide

HIGH DEFINITION TELEVISIONS (HDTVs)
|
|
High Definition Televisions are quickly replacing the older CRT monitors and Analog TV sets that use the NTSC broadcast standard
of the last 50 years. The newer HD models are thinner, brighter, and display a stunning picture with many times the resolution of older sets.
Below are some of the terminology used in describing HDTVs and the features they have.
HDTV Screen Resolution - This is the maximum (in pixels) that a monitor can display. Most HDTV's today can display what is called
1080i or 720p which is usually a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels (1 million pixels). A new standard is emerging called 1080p with a much higher
resolution of 1920 x 1080 ( 2 million pixels). Blu-ray, Playstation 3, and HD DVDs are able to display the full 1080p resolution. Cable TV and Satellite companies currently are
showing high definition at the lower 1080i standard, but in the future they eventually will be broadcasting at 1080p, but due to bandwidth issues it may be a while.
HDMI and COMPONENT - Hooking up your high definition cable box, DVD player, PS3, or other high quality source requires the right connection.
The best connection is HDMI, followed by Component. Both are high quality, with HDMI having an edge in picture quality. If you have many hookups to make,
you would want to see more HDMI and Component jacks on the TV you purchase. For 1080p sets, you want to have HDMI as your connection of choice. So look
for HDTVs with more HDMI and Component connections. Most have at least 2 HDMI and many are now coming with 3 HDMI connections.
Which HDTV Screen Technology is best? - There are three types of display technologies that are in mainstream HDTV's. Each display technology
has its pluses and minuses. Below are all three technologies and a detailed description.
- LCD (liquid crystal display) - LCD TVs are becoming the most popular technology. They have many advantages such as low power consumption, ability
to display the highest resolutions (1080p), LCDs are flat, many are wall mountable. The disadvantage of an LCD is that their ability to show contrast
is less than some other technologies like plasma. LCDs in the past were also slower to refresh (not so with the current models). These disadvantages are quickly disappearing. Today's LCD
HDTVs have greatly improved on contrast and refresh speed. The latest LCD technology is
120hz. Most LCDs are silent with no moving parts or fans. LCD's are brighter than Plasma HDTVs and so are
better suited in well lit rooms during the day than plasmas.
-
Plasma Displays - Plasma displays are very popular as well. They have higher contrast than LCDs (although that gap is closing), and can
display HDTV with stunning clarity. Plasma sets also display fast action (sports, action movies) better. The disadvantages of plasma are that they take more electricity than LCDs, and can generate more heat. Many have
built in fans. Plasma screens are susceptible to screen burn-in (new models compensate with various screen-saving methods). Heavier than LCDs.
-
Digital Light Processing (DLP) - DLP was invented by Texas Instruments. It uses many microscopic mirrors which can turn on and off thousands
of times per second. This technology offers incredible color reproduction, and excellent contrast. Disadvantages are that
most sets require a minimum of 12-14" depth for the rear projection unit. Older DLP and projection TV's use a replaceable lamp, so down the road these
will need to be replaced. The latest DLP TVs now use an LED light engine which replaces the bulb and color wheel. The LED engine should last the
life of the TV. The LED engine also should eliminate the rainbow effect that was a detraction of DLP sets.
The LED's provide a separate light source for each pixel, which gives the new LED-DLP displays a contrast and brightness that rivals Plasma. However, unlike Plasma technology, this system has no chance of burning in.
Viewing Angle - Some HDTV's displays have a more limited viewing angle than others. They lose contrast and become hard to read at some
viewing angles and they have more contrast and are easier to read at others. Generally the higher the viewing angle, the better. This is
especially important when a group of people are watching an HDTV at the same time.
Modern High Definition TVs have much better viewing angles, and it is not as big an issue as it was in the past.
Contrast Ratio - This is the difference in light intensity between the brightest white and the darkest black. Higher is better. The higher
the contrast ratio, the greater the ability to show subtle color details, and better resulting picture. Details in dark scenes will benefit
from a higher contrast ratio. Many manufacturers give what is called Dynamic contrast which is a higher number than the contrast ratio.
So be careful not to confuse this when comparing. LCD panels regular contrast ratios hover around 1200-1400 to 1. Dynamic can run as high as 15,000 and more.
As noted one must consider both static and dynamic contrast ratios.
Response Time - For LCD TV's. Response time is in simplistic terms how fast the screen can "paint" the screen. It is measured in milliseconds or (ms).
Lower numbers are better. A lower response time is best for games, video, fast moving movies. Today's HDTV's have much faster response times
than in the past and this issue is also becoming less important since most models today are quite fast.
120hz LCDs - Introduced in Mid 2007, a new type of LCD HDTV technology has come out on select HDTVs.
120hz refers to the frame rate of an HDTV. Currently sets are 60hz. The double frame rate
120hz sets will make fast action less prone to blurring.
This is important for action movies, and sports. Plasma HDTVs do not need this technology as they handle fast action without the need for 120hz.
Smart-Review will feature these sets as they become available. The most popular and highly rated 120hz HDTVs are the Samsung 120hz HDTVs
and the Sony 120hz HDTVs
ATSC Tuner - Most of the newer HDTVs now include a digital HD tuner called ATSC. An ATSC digital tuner is required to receive and decode over-the-air
digital television signals. Sets do not require this tuner if you are only receiving your high definition feed from a cable company or from satellite, as
they will provide you with a high definition decoder box instead. This gives you the option to receive "free" over the air HD local broadcasts.
ATSC/QAM Tuner - Some newer HDTVs have not only ATSC, but also a QAM tuner.
An integrated QAM tuner allows the free reception of unscrambled digital programming sent "in the clear" by cable providers (without a box), usually local broadcast stations. This varies by cable company. Most other
stations however are scrambled.
Cable Card - Some sets allow you to put a Cable Card in a slot. This card is provided by your cable tv company
and allows you to descramble the channels without a cable box. Some people would rather not rent the box provided by the cable company.
However, you may lose the TV schedule and on demand features when you use this feature instead of the provided box.
Which screen size? - HDTVs come in a variety of sizes. They come as small as 19 inches and up to 60+ inches.
As a general rule, the smaller the room, the smaller the TV. A bedroom should do well with a 26-32 inch HDTV, although there is no set rule to this.
A living room depending on the size should be in the range of 40 inches and higher. Those with larger living rooms may need a larger TV. Click on the
Amazon HDTV Sizing Guide
for more information on HDTV sizes.
