It is "high" time for you to start looking into the Magnavox HDTV with its crystal clear picture that has clarity never seen before. Soon all TV stations will be only available in HDTV. It would be wise to start doing your homework on the various HDTV TV's on the market.
What is HDTV? Some of the HD technical information can seem confusing and unclear to us regular guys. High-definition television (HDTV) is a digital television broadcasting system with higher resolution than traditional television systems (SDTV) . HDTV is digitally broadcast digital television (DTV) that requires less bandwidth.
On February 17, 2009 the US intends to terminate all full-power analog broadcasting (some smaller local stations have later deadlines), with both standard definition TV (SDTV) and HDTV being allowed. This will require all new televisions to be manufactured with HDTV capability. There are adapters that can be purchased to trasform the analog set to HDTV.
The rise in popularity of large screen TV's has made the limitations of conventional Standard Definition TV (SDTV) more obvious and increased the need to purchase a Magnavox HDTV. An HDTV compatible television set will not improve the quality of analog channels. In fact it makes it even worse because of scaling artifacts. To receive the best picture display, high definition televisions require a High Definition (HD) signal.
Most cities in the US with major network stations broadcast over the air in HD. To receive this signal an HD tuner is required. The new Magnavox HDTV has an HD tuner built in. For HDTV televisions without a built in HD tuner, a separate set-top HD tuner box can be rented from a cable or satellite company or a Magnavox HD tuner box can be purchased.
HDTV broadcast systems are described in the following three ways:
1. The number of lines in the vertical display resolution.
2. The scanning system: Progressive Scanning (noted with a "p") or Interlaced Scanning (noted with an "I".) Progressive scanning simply draws a complete image frame (all the lines) per image. Interlaced scanning draws a partial image field (every second line) during a first pass, then fills in the remaining lines during a second pass.
3. The number of frames per second or fields per second.
A frame or field rate can also be specified without a resolution. For example 24p means 24 progressive scan frames per second, and 50i means 25 interlaced frames per second consisting of 50 interlaced fields per second.
We hope the above information was helpful and not too confusing. Do your research on the HDTV brands on the market and you will discover that the Magnavox HDTV would be your best choice if you want the best and most crystal clear HD picture.
