HDTV

By Jimmy Johnson

Are you looking to purchase a new television? With all the options out there, it isn't an easy choice to pick the right one. You've probably heard of HDTV, but what is it? Why should you choose HDTV?

HDTV is a development in technology that allows higher resolution signals to be broadcast than has been possible until recently. HDTV will send digital signals which means greater clarity and quality of picture. TV broadcasting is produced in a high definition format and now it is possible for HDTV models to receive those programs as they were really intended to be. It's like seeing a movie but with a viewing ratio of 16:9. In layman's terms that is a screen of 16 units wide and nine units high and the resolution of 1920 x 1080. That really is high definition.

HDTV will allow you to see your special programs at a level of quality to make you feel that you are really in the audience of a live event. The feeling of reality will increase in proportion to the size of the TV, bigger sets equals better experiences. What's more no squashed movie scenes and out of proportion movie stars and no black bars to spoil your viewing.

Here come the science bits; Thanks to the greater bandwidth the color definition on a HDTV will be more lifelike. Images will be between two and five times more detailed. The scanning lines are nearly invisible. Add to it 'surround sound' stereo and your viewing experience is nearly complete. HDTV is mostly broadcast in surround sound. For the serious sports fan there is no real competition.

So its worthwhile going that little bit further when you choose your new HDTV TV and add a new surround sound package to complete the best picture with the best sound. After all it makes sense to get the most from your new purchase. HDTV will enhance all your TV viewing but be prepared to be even more popular when you invite others over to watch the match on your new HDTV.
