The features are not that difficult or confusing if you know how you will use your new TV. I hope this help you in making a wise purchasing decisions. The newest LCD's boast a 240Hz refresh rate, though it's half the speed of the plasma, few will ever notice the diffrence. LCD's are getting close to the refresh rate of plasmas, but will cost more. That is also why I mentioned refresh rate. This means that your image will be less distorted in fast paced movement. The LCD screens have a refresh rate of at least 60 frames per second, though most of the better ones have 120 frames per second or 120 Hz, plasma is much quicker in this regard, some sets boasting of rates at 480Hz.
#45 MEG PERSECOND VS 95 MEG PERSECOND TV#
TV shows 30 frames per second (OK 29.95 fps to be accurate), Motion Pictures show at 24 frames per second. Now, what is refresh rate? This is how fast each image is placed in the screen. Plasma TV's have a very fast refresh rate that allows them to show action very clearly. LCD's do not have this problem and are a great choice if video games are going to played.įourth, What are you going to watch on your TV? Do you like sports, or action movies? If you have a room suited for it, and no video games will be played on it, then a plasma TV is a great choice. This happens when an image is allowed to stay on the screen for a long period of time, like a highest score screen often does in video games. I should say that only the brightest parts of the image could remain visable. This is a condition where an image can be seen on the screen long after that image is no longer playing. Thirdly, will video games be played on this TV? Plasma is not a good choice for this because of what is called "burn in". An LCD screen has a non-reflective screen and can be placed in brighter rooms. A plasma screen is best for a room that is rather dark, such a a home theatre. Both are good technologies, and now both sell at about the same prices, but a Plasma screen has a glass plate that tends to reflect things such as bright lights, and sun light. That is Plasma and LCD (liquid crystal display). Second where will you put your new TV? Why does this matter? Well, there are two basic kinds of HDTV's out right now. Even if you get your TV through rabbit ears or aerial anttena, you do not need to replace your TV, but you will need a converter box which can be purchased at most electronic retailers for about $45.00 USD. If you have cable, then don't worry about getting a new TV, cable already converts the signal for you.
Most new TV's have a digital tuner, and will receive digital broadcasts without any extra boxes. Why? Because most new TV's will show High Defintion shows, which is at least 2.5 times sharper than standard definition. I'd like to have this read a little like a checklist, as it will be easier to fine tune what you need to know when you are ready to buy.įirst, why do you want a new tv? Do you simly need a replacement for old, out-dated technology? Are you looking for a home theatre system? If you just want something to watch, almost any new TV will do. My goal is to simplify what at first sounds complex. This is not by design, it's just that not everyone but salesmen, industry specialists, and Home Theatre Affectionados has the time to read up on. There are alot of new terms out there that many are confused by.
