The traditional CRT televisions have virtually disappeared from the consumer electronics market. In their place have emerged TVs LCD or plasma flat screen. Since the range of flat panel TVs is very wide, the buyer has to choose from. The “TV Buying Guide” helps you to find a television set that is best suited to your needs as possible.
HD ready and Full HD The resolution of flat panel displays is measured by the number of image points (pixels). Flat screens bearing the logo “HD ready” HDTV can transmit signals with a minimum resolution of 1280×720 image points, while the devices with full HD resolution up to 1920×1080 image points. For comparison: the technology of PAL televisions with cathode-ray tube image has a resolution of 768×576 points five times worse than HDTV. However, the choice of a Full HD TV is meaningful only if it is combined with a source of HD picture. The most common sources of HD Blu-ray, HD camcorders, game consoles (Playstation 3/Xbox360) or television channels that broadcast in HDTV quality.
For reception of television channels in HD resolution are needed, however, subscriptions and pay-TV receivers (so-called set-top box). Cable operators (Cablecom: digital TV) or telephone operators (Swisscom-TV) provide set-top-box against a flat fee or as part of your subscription. With Cablecom and Swisscom is not possible a free choice of set-top boxes. On the homepage of the operator can see if your home is prepared by the technical point of view to receive HD channels
Screen size and viewing distance The screen size (diagonal) for television sets is measured in inches (1 inch = 2.54 cm). The ideal viewing distance for analog television picture is represented by the height of the image multiplied by five. Because of the greater resolution of HDTV, the ideal distance can be calculated with double / triple height.
LCD or plasma? Both technologies, LCD or plasma, have advantages and disadvantages. LCD TVs have a longer life, a good light, a lower depth of the unit, a lower power consumption and lack of channel logos and still images continuously. LCD TVs are an excellent choice to view photographs, to connect game consoles or for use as PC screen. On the contrary, thanks to better yield black and color reproduction, image rich in contrast and response times are faster plasma televisions are best suited for dramas or films. Previously, plasma units were cheaper than LCD TVs, today no longer presents any significant price difference.
Response time of LCD TV The response time expresses the speed at which a light (pixels) takes to turn on and off. LCD TVs with a long reaction time have a so-called wake effect or delayed in the case of fast movements (eg. In sports broadcasting or video games). The pleasure of a TV show clear LCD display is achieved with a minimum response time of 6 ms (6ms). Plasma displays have response times close to zero.
Flat panel displays with 100Hz technology Flat panel displays with 100Hz technology are more expensive than machines without this enhancement. The 100Hz technology from the technical point of view is very challenging and prices rise then the price of the TV. However, in the case of LCD TVs this prosecution images visually more natural, clearer and with a few moves as much detail and without the loss of sharpness.
24p On Blu-ray movies are recorded with a frequency of 24 full frames per second. For optimal viewing of this film on a flat screen television will require both a Blu-ray disc player and a flat-screen HDTVs that support 24p.
Contrast For flat contrast ratio indicates the relative difference in brightness between the white and black. TVs with a high contrast ratio can reproduce dark scenes with a black faithful, also taking advantage of the subtle shades in detail, while the images on flat panel TVs with a contrast ratio are low gray and faded. Televisions are of good quality have a contrast ratio in excess of 10,000: 1.
Brightness Regarding TV the brightness level is calculated in candelas per square meter (cd / m²). The minimum value for a pleasant brightness is around 200 candelas per square meter. Most of the flat panel display has a brightness that varies between 400 and 500 cd / m². The higher the number of candles, the brighter the image representation. TVs with light sensors automatically adjust the brightness according to ambient light.
Viewing Angle The viewing angle or viewing angle in the case of LCD TVs or plasma, indicates the extent to which viewing angle the picture is still bright and true. The viewing angle is expected to exceed 100 degrees. For an LCD TV viewing angle of 170 degrees is considered very good. For plasma TVs, the viewing angle is not expected.
Equipment agguntive of flat panel displays Usually more expensive screens offer better comfort and more amenities than the cheaper models. Expect better performance especially for the following features / characteristics:
HDMI connection In this link digital flat panel displays offer the best quality picture and sound. The new consumer electronics products are equipped with this type of connections (DVD or Blu-ray, game consoles, digital cameras, camcorders, SSETI-top box or PC). Flat screens usually have at least two HDMI connections. Three or more connections would be ideal.
Card readers, USB Some flat-panel displays allow the reproduction of photos on your TV with integrated slots for reading memory cards or USB connections. Under the heading USB connection can also often download new programs on television management.
Networking Television sets with networking allows the reproduction of images, music and video files that are stored on PCs or home networks.
Connecting to a PC (VGA) TV sets with VGA connection allows the connection of a PC via VGA cable. Slides, presentations, films, etc.. can thus be represented on flat screens. If your PC has an HDMI connection, this is preferable, however, because of better quality.
Tuner DVB-T tuner A DVB-T tuner capable of receiving terrestrial digital programs via a simple antenna SSR home. This makes sense only if there is no cable or satellite. In Switzerland the number of channels broadcasting via the DVB-T is quite low (depending on the language region 4 or 5 channels).
Ambilight Using LED illumination of sfonodo adjusted dynamically in the TV, the visual result is intensified. The technique does not tire the eyes as the shades of lighting adapts to the image content at the time. Ambilight is a technique developed by Philips, only in its integrated TV sets.
