Its distance from the place to determine the meaning of image clarity and detail and quality of visual experience. If all you see are true high-definition images, then you can sit as close as two times the diagonal screen size of 46 feet 8 inches or just over a 50-inch diagonal screen. But assuming that the closing may not be practical, because until the final conversion to all HDTV broadcast is completed (ie at least 5 years away) most of their analog TV viewing and TV may be conventional, and images can appear rather bleak to close. (Remember early big screen television?) If you watch regular non-HD TV sitting too close to a big screen, you see all the defects.
2. Flat Panel or Box
The plasma futuristic and very cool and liquid crystal flat panel displays that are only a few centimeters thick are attractive, but the screen size of the budget, and the need for excellent clarity of HDTV are important factors to consider. HDTV at full resolution on a plasma screen means getting a screen of 50 inches diagonally, and this is expensive (about $ 3,000 USD or more). If you're willing to leave the plate and accept a more conventional (as in no more than 14 inches deep), you can obtain the full HD resolution of a fraction of that amount. A 50-inch diagonal DLP rear projection is only 14 centimeters and weighs about 75 pounds would be $ 3200. Also, you will still get bright, high-definition incredibly good, except the ultra-cool flat-panel appeal, of course. If you still like the flat screen and are willing to accept the sound quality high definition, but the image is not true, you can save a lot of money on a small screen LCD or plasma display.
3. Do you really need HDTV resolution?
Saying no compromise on screen thin flat screen, which has absolutely need. If you are satisfied with the clarity of DVD-called standard definition (480 lines). There are also enhanced definition (EDTV) with 480-progressive scan (480p) line. The picture is not HDTV, plasma display because the incoming signals are converted from HD to its resolution? DVD, but they look great, and all the programs recorded in high definition will be much better than their old analog television. And you have your flat screen!
4. Wide-screen 16:9 vs. standard 4:3
Although the widescreen 16:9 (the ratio of screen width to its height) is the standard HDTV, and coincides with most DVD movies and TV shows in high definition, there are many television shows and news show filmed conventionally square 4:3 television. Reflecting on the relationship of material is watching, and if you prefer a digital HD 4:3 set that will display conventional TV programs full-screen, full screen and high definition programs with black bars top and bottom. Remember that if you choose one large screen, high-set, 4:3 TV programs have large black bars on either side, unless you use the stretch mode of the series, which extend to the edges of the image to fill the big screen at the expense of image distortion, sometimes considerable. Some states also bitmap 4:3 compression? compression mode vertical supports HD 1080i or 720p scanning lines so as to achieve clarity HD. You should try this feature in all 4:3 HD.
5. Big-Opciones de Pantalla: Conozca las virtudes y defectos
If you watch an HD large and do not want the hassle of a front projector that requires a completely dark room, then a rear projection TV (RPTV) is a logical and in some cases, a more economical choice. Most RPTV sets will give you true HD resolution image, and cost much less than a panel of 50-inch plasma flat. The least expensive is the big, bulky CRT rear projection sets, available in a wide range of screen sizes from 40 to 80 inches diagonally, nearly all versions by 169 widescreen HD. HD in September as a direct view CRT, rear projection CRTs are very heavy and have considerable depth. The image looks best in a dimly lit room, and in corners more, the screen becomes generally cloudy or dark. Uniform brightness over a wide viewing angle is not a virtue of the CRT sets career. Life expectancy is on average 7 to 10 years.
