Televisions are very confusing, now that HDTV's have come out!
What's this Progressive scan feature do? What does 16:9 ratio
or 4:3 do? Wide-screen what? 1080i, 480p? Hmmm...
Understanding these questions is not an easy task for someone
who just wants to watch TV. That’s where Scotts Computer
Services can be of help! Dealing with Electronics daily
vastly improves knowledge of all these questions. Things that
can be done to optimize Televisions include but are not
limited to : Selecting the proper ratio depending on your TV,
adjusting colors to look the most natural, turning Noise
Reduction on if needed (smoothes out picture and improves
quality when the signal isn't good), adjusting screen
resolution (depending on HDTV) for highest quality and
crispest images, turning on the built in Surround Sound for
the TV ( if available ), turning on sound equalizer ( which
stops those annoying commercials from being very loud out of
no where) which are much louder than the program you're
watching.
Please note : I DO NOT REPAIR TV'S, I just Optimize them!
Setting up an HDTV is much more complicated than just hooking
up an Arial. There are many types of HDTV's, such as HDTV
ready, HDTV compatible, HDTV monitor, etc. Don't let these
names fool you. Often, but not in all cases these HDTV types
are all the same. What you the consumer need to know is to
NOT
buy a TV because of any of these titles that the TVs are
branded with, make sure when you purchase an HDTV it has a
built in tuner. This tuner will up convert any signal and
making it into an High Definition signal. If you purchase an HDTV that does
not have a built in tuner than you will have to purchase HD
satellite, an HD DVD player, etc. You will spend much more
money purchasing these items to enjoy full HD. Watching a show
or movie in HD is night and day difference in quality. SCS can
teach you all the information you need to make the best
quality TV at the most valuable cost. (Depending on your needs
and wants)
DLP vs. LCD HDTV
There are many articles and reviews about which TV is better.
Honestly, they are both very similar. DLP stands for Digital
Light Processing, and LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display.
DLP can process blacks much better than any TV has ever been
able to. The blacks are actually black, not this grayish dark
color you see in many TVs. The only problem with this is that
if you are watching a movie that is based around dark scenes
it may be hard to see if the lights are on. LCDs are known to
be bright. They can be viewed even in the brightest rooms.
Both HDTV'S has a very wide viewing angle. DLP is based upon
tiny mirrors (5 mirrors equal one strand of hair). These
mirrors swivel back and forth to display the image and color.
LCD is back upon liquid in the screen and a light projecting
upon this crystal liquid screen. Both TVs offer great quality
and depth of the picture. SCS prefers DLP TVs. The reason
being that when you watch a TV with DLP technology, you really
feel that your there. Watching Spider Man 2 on this TV is
amazing. Spidys costume is so rich in color and so detailed
you really do feel like your right there. Speaking of Colors,
the DLP has an amazing array of colors, enough eye candy to
satisfy any DLP customer for years to come. Thinking of
getting a big screen? Go see a demo of DLP and LCD at your
local Sears store. Not only will you be impressed by the
quality of both TVs, nobody backs their products like Sears
does. You won't be disappointed. |
