HDTV AND "the room it is in"
|
HDTV's mean many things; but the first thing in viewing is being able to read, comprehend, see everything and hear everything it is showing you. People also want "the viewing of" to mean a online game or the "show" they want to see on the best HDTV. |

Also, when it comes to displays; a design of "viewing" is the room it is in. The display only works better if it can be seen correctly from every seat in the room or area it is serving and is situated in. How well it is seen depends on factors like, can the writing be read; can the shades be drawn, is the angle to the hdtv ok for viewing from each seat; and is it comfortable; how well was the program/broadcast recorded (production today has control over their ("standards"); was the room's lighting effective for the display and other uses; there are many factors when considering buying a hdtv! |

MINI BAND - how "it" works. When I look at a HDTV from the seating area for a HDTV if I cannot read the lower bar on ESPN; there is something wrong. That's all I am saying. Ok, the size does matter, twice, size of pixel; size of screen; the inputs and location matter; and the room's use matters. You should plan a seating area for your new HDTV and the size you are getting. Most main or great room's for HDTV are big enough for the size of the HDTV to be compared to the size of the viewing area for it. Bigger the room and seating for just that hdtv; the bigger the display must be. In smaller audience serving only a few seats; the size is as small as you want to fit viewers in and control the areas served as "areas" with viewers of situated to see the production; and hear it or read it too... |

If you make every room a studio for recording/broadcasting; however; it becomes more specialized and costly because there really is professional compared to consumer in "Gear". Here, your own flavor is the equipment you use with your display; and a hdtv does fit in today's world very nicely. What you want your hdtv to do; the things you want on it should be everything you own! All of your "stuff"; like your computer; your dvds; your your recordings; your records; everything like that! Here, equipment means everything, just like a midi did in the 70's |
1) Seats should be comfort type and centered with HDTV. Seating like a theatre uses is very effective.
2) Put the HDTV horizontal facing the middle of the room and seating area; and at a height where all seats for it are viewing it easily (sitting, then horizontal line to middle of screen).
The area between the HDTV and the seats is open to the entire screen. Use furniture made to lift HDTV to horizontal from seats and tables that do not block any seated viewer.
model #8256 Sharp looks great to me then, U-HDTV is now the only better screen or resolver.
Mounting on the wall and hiding connections makes a picture hang. This allows viewing from higher chairs or rooms where you use it with counters and tables are being sit at; it allows viewing from more angles of a room when they are up on the wall.
Do not mount high on large wall! Up too high causes craning; so should be avoided unless size is very large because distance to it is large amount; making the height not matter as much. A large screen is an entire wall of a room, and the top is up high, but to look at the picture, you look at the entire wall.
Sources need shelves, mounts, hidden wiring and management that allows for cleaning; no water is allowed too near these area's, and needs mitigationary design tactics. # of sources equals large number of wires; central location of wiring is most important, and any other room is easily brought to life using any part of your video/audio system; including all sources. Really, it is a "your cable" and you "distribute it"! Here, you are the cable company.
Putting a source into each room is considered modern design today (and an HDTV), and even a HDTV needs more to source itself with, like a 3d show; or whatever. This is a directv/ dish network/cable installers directions anywhere they are. Pro's since the 1960's installed Local antenna this way; and a cable box or satellite box have this mindset; even when only 30 channels worked.
Today everybody must wire the products with "their cable/satellite STB" and have "internet".
Branding iron -> Panasonic, Sharp, Toshiba, Samsung, Sony, etc.
Today, over 100 HDTV/Display Manufacturer's exist; serving the USA products considered to be display's or HD and now UHD typed. These manufacturer's are the names you buy today, and you best be aware that they are all different in many ways you as a consumer need to educate yourselves on this subject.
Yes, the newer connectors are driven by STB (external sources) and HDMI 2.0 is only 8 cables in one cable, with more connections in one space. Normally done with many cables since digital tv and the dvd; they have all different connectors accomplishing the same thing. Since '92; the connector has changed to HDMI; from DVI (and/no audio); and of course composite rgb with stereo audio and digital audio plug's glass single mode (one direction uses).
Better TV's in 1980's were rated to 720p and over. If you take a 1080p production today; and display it even on a cheap tv's screen; you still see the 1080p production; and you see pores and wrinkles, and all the defined colors it produces. It may only be smaller than the screens size in scaled and produced properties; but the definition is still there. And you can also see the difference between composed, or produced definitions. SD, HD are different "compositions" of produced resolution.
HDTV History
Projection to DLP and Plasma, two types of LCD; now UHD LCD of the was best Laser type and to 4k projection; UHD is 2 times the HD progression, or definition; makes 8k 16k?; and is 3d and now curved screens that draw a (UHD) 16x9 picture, in the curve so you see the 3d as depth in the curve; flat and square without glasses! This is progress (accomplished with a tv before the '60's)!
720p to 1080i to NOW 1080p horiz. pixel x 1960 vertical pixel (interlacing "i" or progressive "p" are the two types or ways a screen is scanned. progressive is considered "better looking" because it is easier for the eye to see "what" it draws at a certain (60/120/240 hz.). If you take a camera picture of this type picture; there will be hum bars in the pic. An interlaced picture is not as powerful a picture to the eye, so it looks not as bright or smooth, and when you take a camera picture of it; there are no hum bars in it (where the scanned pic is w, hertz asting power).
Getting the best hdtv for your money is an education in use, function, and resolution; the best deal. Getting a better screen is a matter of which process is to serve your picture up as well as the definition technology you choose; however, this is where the type you choose is the best or better than another. If you want a 100 inch LCD, only one company (the first one) has the rights to manufacture for it. In 3 years; the rest will follow. They soon sign a contract with the screen manufacturer. This screen thing is exactly how each of the majors used the newest technology in their products. The HDTV manufacturers, however today; are very quiet about screens and their masters to the consumer.
Screen resolution, true is a realized test only when you factor in the actual resolution you are paying for. Here is the trick.
Take everything out of the HDTV and just leave the screen. This piece of equipment is the true definition; how well the HDTV can work. This screen has a true "scaled" property called "resolution" and is the scan rate times the screen's property of resolution (it's actual resolution); in an LCD it is in pixels because that is how an LCD works. Each pixel in horizontal width (say 1942) and then vertical height (say 1055) needs "excitation"; and the scale takes the picture it is given every "scan rate" (say 120 per second). The scaling occurs to these two numbers at hardware level and is compared to hardwares definition that it sends it; like 1080 or 720; what the hdtv is sent either tuning exterior sources or internal tuning of its own. The screen is also drawn in a size per pixel as progressive scan (dvd) defined so well. This depends on the screen size divided by the technology emitted size; or area they used as emitter area for each pixel's definition. Size here really matters; because as you want to manufacture smaller and smaller; the area emitted gets smaller and definitioin goes higher! 1080p then would get smaller and smaller compared to the screen produced. And the bigger you want the screen the bigger it gets but then the definition has to get smaller unless you make the pixel bigger too! Technology here is a rated technology only per type and defined value for both sizes. This is where light is measured, and is very exact today. The Ultra HD screens are way over 1080p; and scale goes "up" and today the screen needs to be at the least "big"! This is why a small screen makes pictures look better! But a small screen "scales" down to its "real size and screen too"; which is why the cell uses less data if you "scale" for its size and screen; it will anyways!
Though these places of sources has a defined definition; like your HD dvd or satellite or roku stb; their source also matters; and so does how they source it (with the definition it is sent and how well they then send it as their own); at the screen level it only shows you the produced level they have sent; which includes guide, program, info,; and the definition as a format (480i/720p/1080i/1080p) and width/height ratio of the production! They even scale down or up to their broadcasted format, which is locked down and does not change. Why a 3d HD DVD looks better is because it is produced for and formatted then sent directly to the screen; and they definitely do not change anything, or add or subtract anything until the screen (leaving anyhing else undetected because none are present. This gives the source all scale; and the HDTV then scales to its screens properties. A computer does this for its screen; of which applications like Adobe allow control of which you are creating; using sizes from 1 pixel @ a certain resolution; which makes a full screen; and to HDTV it; the rate is how many per second; which creates scene's and movement or video/audio with the drawn properties, then move towards "productional shows and large video libraries" etc.. But, they all resolve "screens"; and this is where its own play of definition is; and scales to with the rest of the hdtv or not.
In a DLP or Laser; this "screen" is drawn by the "resolver of the screen" and the definition is then accrued. Here, only a pre-defined and tuned device is rated for defining the screen you see (which is why they get a better rate in screen resolution); and scaling once again occurs because its numbers accrued are all over the resolution "scale".
Commercially, display's or HDTV typed are being replaced rapidly with 3D and now Ultra-HD typed. In the projection arena, this is true when going to better screen resolution designs. Very large screens; like at a 3D Movie Theatre only your wall; rely upon a sourced switch (or ASI) still today to show them on their screens. This is the new "studio" and Commercial Studio's source the say 30x18 pictures you see there. Sources to it are switched using a stereo, or amps like dolby or aac.
It is also the first two digits on the model number. The next two digits are left for input/output abilities and how many. So, a 6048 means 60% or 6/10 of a screen "bettering" or manufacturer stamped as compared to the best; which is a 1. The 48 is 4 "outputs including cable tuning or analog" and 8 inputs including all type "ins". You really do get what you pay for if you "detail" it comparitively across the "screen".
Uses of your HDTV today, all by itself; are rising as netwprking 10/100 and wireless connections are putting the box inside the HDTV by using Netflix or Hulu and web browsing and a network/internet connection. Of course if you live in the city; a rabbit ear will get you local tv, just like the old days.
