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.
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 Native contrast ratios hover around 1200-2500:1 for LCDs and up to 30,000:1 for Plasmas. Dynamic can run as high as 50,000 and more. As noted one must consider both static (Native) 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. Brand Name or 2nd Tier Brand? - When purchasing an HDTV you will see familiar top level brands such as Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, Toshiba, Pioneer, etc. Then you will see 2nd tier brands that sell at substantial discounts to the top brands. We recommend only top tier brands for several reasons. One is that many of these 2nd tier brands offer poor servicing should something go wrong. Some charge you the freight to either ship the TV to them or back after repair. One brand we saw offers no parts after the one year warranty is up, so in effect it is a throwaway TV. Higher end TVs have better video processors for upconverting and reducing digital noise. For these reasons we believe that top tier brands are the best way to go even though there is a higher initial cost.
