Full-HD TV
What to consider when choosing a Full-HD TV.
The range of flat-panel TV is now enormous, Plasma, LCD or LED, which technology should you choose?, and what type is best suited to view Blu-ray, it could even be that the TV is perfect with high resolution material and not at all can supply materials with standard definition such as standard digital TV or DVD in a good way, there are many who have been in a store to buy a television and compared with the shops test Blu-ray movies and when they then come home to watch regular TV so they become dissatisfied with the outcome and feel cheated, so ask to see both in the shop ..
Plasma
A plasma television is usually more natural sharpness, contrast and blacks than an LCD TV, it has a shorter response time, which means it can handle fast moving pictures better. Plasma is best suited for larger screens 40 "+.
Plasma has previously had problems with screen burn-in objects like the channel logos or computer images, this is now almost solved with a screen saver, but if you plan to connect a PC to the TV an LCD is to recommend.
Lcd
An LCD TV is more vivid, bright whites, but black level is a bit more greyish than on a Plasma TV. Focus is sharper, sometimes almost unnaturally sharp. Lcd is best suited for smaller screens, and if you shall connect a PC to the TV the LCD is a good option.
LED
LED is the very latest technology in flat-panel TV´s. It is thinner, just 30mm thick, it uses less power, brighter colors, better sharpness, it is much better than both plasma and LCD on most points ... However, it is more expensive but still not so expensive that it is unjustified, and the prices are coming down! do they want the best for a "reasonable" allowance, this is the technology that we recommend read more about LED in the wiki.
Resolution
A Full HD TV is defined to consist of 1920x1080 pixels, and is directly adapted to display 1080p, as opposed to an HD Ready television that is adapted to display 720p, but also can handle 1080p with some loss in image quality.
Screen size
There are as many opinions about what is the optimal size of a TV as there are Chinese people in China, but it's really just you who can decide what suits you, but there are some factors to take into account.
The key factor here is the quality of the image source, this may be the old term "crap in crap out" given a new meaning. With high resolution such as Blu-ray and HD TV so you can basically have a really big scrren without feeing that the quality suffers, but if you have regular SDTV you can easily become dissatisfied with the image quality if you buy a TV that is too big and then sit too close.
Another factor to consider is the distance from the couch to the TV. A good rule might be 6-8cm/inch, in this case would a 46 " screen be appropriate with a distance of 2.8 m - 3.7 m, choose a slightly larger screen if you often watch high resolution picture and a bit smaller if you intend to often watch materials with standard definition picture.
Viewing Angle
It's not always that everyone who looks at your TV sits in front of the picture but there are always some who fall a bit outside and see the TV from the wrong angle, because of this the viewing angle is something to consider. A plasma television shows good image even from a very small angle while an LCD or LED can show you a bit blurred image if the angle is less than 45 degrees.
Digital TV tuner
Many new Flap panel tv´s have built-in TV tuners, so you don´t need a set top box in addition to the TV, your smartcard will then be placed in a so-called ca-module into your TV, be aware that you usually have to buy the ca-module separately. Also check that the TV has just the kind of tuner that you need for your digital TV networks.
DVB-T - Used to terrestrial network
DVB-C - Used for cable TV
DVB-S - Used for satellite TV
Pixel Guarantee
It is usual that a TV have what´s called dead pixels which is pixels that do not work and may then appear as a white dot. There is a standards that says that a television may have up to 4 dead pixels before it is classified as incorrect, but some manufacturers have their own pixel guarantee which ensures 100% working pixels. So watch out for what guarantees you get when you choose which brand you should buy.
HDCP
To be able to play copy-protected high-definition material, such as Blu-Ray, the TV must be HDCP compatible (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection), which means that the TV can communicate with the Blu-Ray player.
Connections
Here, look at your options to connect other equipment.
Digital video input - HDMI connection
Analogue video input - Scart, component, s-video
Analogue audio input - RCA
Digital audio output - Coaxial and Optical
USB - Memory, hard drive, camera
DVI / VGA input - for connecting a PC
Power Consumption
Today energy is a hot topic, the basic rule here is that LCD and plasma uses considerably more power than a LED.
Upscaling
Some devices have the ability to upscale standard definition material to 1080p with the help of advanced imaging features.
Audio
Even if the TV has good sound qualities, it can never deliver the great surround sound a movie is recorded with. Therefore, we recommend that you always connect your TV, set top box and Blu-ray player to a sound system, more on this can be found under the Audio tab
Design / Placement
Last but certainly not least, your flat-panel TV becomes part of the interior in your living room so it's quite important that you choose one that fits and looks great together with other equipment and furniture.
Here, also the choice of placement / mounting plays a major role, you can place it on a TV bench with the included stand or mount it on the wall. Keep in mind that the wall attachments almost always have to be purchased separately, and to find a nice way to hide wires from the TV set. There are cable covers to purchase as a nice way to hide the cables on the wall.
Full-HD Projector
What to consider when choosing HD projector.
The range of projectors continues to increase and prices for full-HD projector drops all the time while the technology gets better and better.
There are 5 different technologies in high-definition projectors, DLP, LCD, CRT and the two newest technologies, LCOS and SXRD.
DLP
An LCD projector containing a lot of small mirrors, each of which can be tilted, making it possible to determine if the mirror is reflecting light or not. The colors you get from a rotating color wheel.
A risk of DLP projectors is that some viewers with sensitive approach may suffer from a so-called "rainbow effect" that is something everyone must try it for yourself to see if you notice.
DLP projectors gives better brightness and higher contrast, but is slightly more expensive than LCD.
LCD
An LCD projector is built of red, green and a blue screen. When the light shines through the light passes through a computer-generated image that controls how much light is let through, which means that it is perceived as an image on the projection screen.
LCD is the cheapest type of projectors. Darkness / contrast of the image and the lamp life is slightly less than the DLP projector.
CRT
A CRT projector works in principle as three televisions in one. Three electron guns fire on opposite phosphor coated glass screen of phosphors which glow in the respective primary colors red, green and blue. The light generated by the glowing phosphor layer in each tube and then subjected to further out-sized lenses to the screen, the three images is directed then to overlap.
CRT projector is very expensive and therefore rare in home theater, it also requires considerable knowledge
in calibration.
LCOS
One of the newest technologies is a development of the LCD projector. The difference is that here, as opposed to shine through the LCD panels, rather than reflect the light away from them. much the same way as in a DLP
projector.
This technique gives better blacks, contrast and brightness compared to an LCD projector.
SXRD
SXRD is based on the same technology as LCOS, but is Sony's own version has basically the same characteristics as LCOS.
Resolution
A Full HD projector is 1920x1080 pixels, and is directly adapted to display 1080p, as opposed to an HD Ready projector that is adapted to display 720p, but also can handle 1080p with some loss in image quality.
Image Size
All Full HD projectors are widescreen format, ie, 16:9, and are made to project an image up to 300".
There are normally screens available from 70"up to
180", but the normal is around 100"-150" The size is
due to the distance you can place the projector on. Check carefully before buying what image size you get at just the distance that you intend to place the projector. One tip is to buy the projector first, mount it and then see what Projector Screen that fits.
Brightness
If you intend to use the projector to watch TV in daylight you should think about having such a bright projector. However,if you watch more often at night or in a darkened room, this is of minor importance.
Contrast
Is a value for the difference between the image's brightest light (white) to the darkest dark (black). Specified as a value compared to 1 eg.1200:1 the higher the value the greater the contrast. This value is something that manufacturers attach little as they want so you should not rely too much on the specified values.
Lamp Life
It is always a consideration of appropriate life and how "expensive" it is with the lamps, but if you estimate a lifespan of around 3000 hrs and you use the projector 3 h/day, it will last for about 3 years ... , it will be € 0.25 per day, and it may well be affordable, or ..?
HDCP
To be able to play copy-protected high-definition material, such as Blu-Ray, the projector must be HDCP compatible (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection), which means that the TV can communicate with the Blu-Ray player.
Connections
Here, look at your options to connect video sources and other equipment.
Digital video input - HDMI like more than one
Analog video input - Scart, component, s-video
USB - Memory, hard drive camera
DVI / VGA input - for connecting a PC
Noise Level
All projectors have a fan to cool the projector lamp that would otherwise become very hot.
If you think fan noise is annoying, you should choose one with low noise. The projectors range from approximately: 15dB up to about 40dB.
Eco-mode
Many projectors today have so-called eco-mode, in order to increase the lifetime of the lamp, reducing noise and saving energy. it generally means that light is a bit reduced and the fans go a bit slower. This obviously makes the image quality may be back a bit but is a welcome feature.
Throw Distance
IMPORTANT: When you buy a projector, you should think about how long it will be between the projector and screen in your living room. This is very important for the size of the picture you will get and therefore how big projector screen you need-
Check carefully how big the picture get´s at a certain distance before you buy the screen so you do not get a surprise when you mounted the projector.
Projector Screens
Last but not least you need a screen to project your image on, screens are available in 3 main types, draper Manual, Motorized draper and Fixed frame screens.
In addition, there are different gain values, which means how much light the screen reflects back. Gain higher value = higher reflection. Gain values can range from 0.8 to 1.2 where 1.0 is the most common.
Most projector screens are white, but if you want an image with more contrast, blacks, you can choose a screen with light gray area, a gray cloth often is gain value of 0.85.
Calibration
Common to both TV and projector is that in order to achieve best results, calibrate / adjust the settings for just its own merits, the best tool to use for this task is calibration discs. One of the most popular is "Digital Video Essentials DVE abbreviated . it contains several useful tools and easy to follow instructions
TV or Projector
Buying a TV or projector is a big investment, so it ´s a good idea to form your own opinion before deciding, especially in wich type of TV or projector that works best for you. Here we explain the differences
