When purchasing a flat panel TV, there are a few things to keep in mind. Here, we’ve listed a number of considerations for you to evaluate.

High Definition Upgradeable or HDTV-Ready

If you see either of these terms used when deciding to purchase a flat screen TV, it means that the TV is capable of producing the highest resolutions possible for digital television today. “Upgradeable” means that you’ll need to first add a separate HDTV receiver before you can view the pictures in high definition mode (1080i or 720p). But, even if you don’t upgrade, the picture will still look fantastic. When watching regular DVDs or TV broadcasts, the picture will be almost as good as real HDTV because most have line-doublers to improve the picture.

16:9 Aspect Ratio

Unlike conventional televisions, new plasma, LCD and rear-projection televisions most likely have a wide, rectangular screen that is very similar to the shape of a movie screen. This is known as 16:9 aspect ratiofor every 16 inches wide, the screen is 9 inches high. Compared to conventional TVs, which are 4:3 in aspect ratio, the field of vision is wider for a new flat screen TV.

When watching DVDs at home on a 16:9 wide-screen television, you will be able to enjoy the full screen effect of the movie the way it was intended. On the other hand, when watching regular, standard definition television (like a news broadcast or talk show), you will need to either set the television to fill the screen entirely or watch with vertical black bars on either side of the picture.

Finally, remember that even though most television broadcasts are in 4:3 format, 16:9 widescreen format is the way of the future. Many events are shot in HDTV format (for example, the Olympics, special sporting events, nature documentaries, etc.) and as more and more people purchase high definition television, all broadcasts will be in high definition within the next few years.

Reverse 3:2 Pulldown

Television shows are usually shot on film at 24 frames per second. When transferred to video running at 30 frames per second, the picture quality is distorted in the translation. New televisions are able to correct those distortions through a series of reconversion techniques which reverse the distortions. The result is a smoother and cleaner picture.

When looking to buy a new plasma, LCD or rear-projection television, look for this feature.

3D Y/C Digital Comb Filter

The 3D Y/C digital comb filter’s job is to take the cable signal coming from the wall and separate the color, sound, brightness information into useable information. New plasma, LCD and rear-projection televisions have digital 3D Y/C comb filters that do a pretty good job of this so as to avoid what is know as “dot crawl” where the edges of objects appear rough. In addition, a good digital comb filter will also counter the effects of moir

The United Kingdom’s Radar Research Establishment (RRE) started work on liquid crystals in the late 1960’s. At the University of Hull, George Gray and others were working on the same lines. It was with RRE’s support that cyanobiphenyl liquid crystals (stable and have the right temperature properties for use in LCDs) were later discovered by Gray.

The United Kingdom’s Radar Research Establishment (RRE) started work on liquid crystals in the late 1960’s. At the LCD or liquid crystal display is a flat and thin display device constructed of monochrome or color pixels that are kept in front of a reflector. Engineers highly value this technology because of the minimal electric power it consumes. In fact, it is just about perfect for use in mechanisms that are powered by battery.

LCDs are found in many digital watches and portable computers. LCD displays have two areas of polarizing substance, and a liquid crystal solution in between. With the passing of electric current through the liquid, the crystals line up in such a way that light cannot infiltrate them. Each crystal acts like a shutter, either blocking the light or allowing it to come through.

Monochrome LCD images generally show as dark gray or blue images atop a grayish-white backdrop. In color LCDs, two fundamental techniques are used for producing color: Passive matrix is the less costly of the two. Limited in color and viewing angle, passive matrix was broadly used with earlier laptops for mono or color displays. The second technology is called active-matrix or thin film transistor (TFT). It puts out color images that are sharp, but its technology is costly. Active-matrix is used for laptops, desk-top computers, home theatres, etc. Recently, passive-matrix displays have been come up with technology that can produce colors sharp enough to rival active-matrix displays.

When purchasing an LCD monitor, it is important to thoroughly check the entire package, which includes resolution, response time, viewable size, viewing angle, brightness and contrast ratio, color support, etc.
