HDTV Glossary
Description: Shop all of our HDTVs by brand: Samsung | Sharp | Panasonic | Mitsubishi | LG | More Brands Other Guides: 2009 Digital Transition | Flat Panel Mounting | What Size TV Should I Buy? | What is HDMI? 1080p This is the best high-definition resolution and picture quality available on the market today. It means there are 1080 lines of resolution displayed on the screen at once. The "p" stands for progressive scan which means the 1080 lines of resolution are displayed constantly and all at once, so there is no interlacing of the image. While HDTVs offer 1080p resolution, true 1080p resolution is currently only available through HD-DVD and Blu-Ray players along with next-gen video game systems such as Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. 1080i This is the HD resolution quality for many satellite and cable HD broadcasts. 1080i means that the 1080 lines of resolution are interlaced and are shown half at a time each frame (either 1/120 or 1/60 of a second). The quality of 1080i is still very good for any HD application and is preferred above 720p. 120Hz vs 60Hz 120Hz means that 120 frames of image are shown every second. 60Hz was the old standard for most LCD HDTVs but is now moving towards 120Hz. This technology reduces the chance for blurring of the picture in fast-moving images in sports or video games. 720p This HD resolution means there are 720 lines of resolution showing constantly and in every frame. However, you will not be able to get the total 1080 lines of resolution found in true HD. We have found that it is sometimes better to set the resolution at 1080i rather than 720p (on your 720p HDTV) because if you have a good quality HDTV, 1080i will look cleaner and more vivid. 16:9 vs 4:3 Screen Sizes These simply mean that there is a ratio of 16 width to 9 height or 4 width to 3 height respectively. 4:3 is the old standard TV format and 16:9 is the newer high definition format. ATSC Tuner This type of tuner allows the TV to receive digital signals (DTV) and high definition broadcasting. Most of the new HDTVs on the market include this tuner built in so no additional equipment is needed for the TV to process high definition and digital signals. ATSC allows you to pick up HD stations broadcast over-the-air in your area. Component Cables The standard component cables commonly included with most HD devices provide a sufficient connection for high definition. However, this connection is not purely digital and actually converts the signal to analog before reaching the TV. Some loss of picture quality will result. The recommended connection for HD is HDMI. Component cables use three separate cables for the picture connection. Contrast Ratio This is the ratio of luminosity of the whitest whites to the blackest blacks the HDTV can produce. The higher the contrast ratio, the closer the TV is to producing more true-to-life blacks and whites. DLP DLP was technology developed by Texas Instruments that uses hundreds of thousands of mirrors which move to create the image. DLP HDTVs boast very good use of colors including blacker blacks and whiter whites for a great picture and are a form of rear-projection. Many DLPs, however, use lamps that need to be replaced every 1-5 years depending on the model. Some newer DLPs have LED backlighting that eliminates the need for lamps and extends the life of the TV to 60,000 plus hours. DLPs also have limited viewing angles if watching from the sides. DTV (Digital Television) DTV is the digital standard in TV broadcasting. This is the format that is scheduled to replace analog NTSC by Feb. 17th 2009. (see our 2009 Digital Transition article) Digital television includes digital widescreen (HD) broadcasts as well as digital standard TV (SDTV). Flat-Panel HDTVs Flat-panel TVs are plasmas and LCDs that are thin and lightweight so that they can be wall or ceiling mounted. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) This is the preferred connection for high definition devices. It is a true digital connection so no image or sound quality is lost through the connection. HDMI carries both the video and audio signals through one cable, simplifying the installation process and reducing the number of cords. LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) LCD TVs utilize a layer crystals and an electrical current to create the image. LCD TVs usually have a matte finish screen so glare and bright lightning will not negatively affect the picture. The new generation of LCDs are really giving plasma and DLP a run for their money as far as outstanding picture quality. However with LCDs, there is more of a picture loss than plasma if viewing the TV from an extreme angle. LCD TVs can be used in any environment and there is no chance for screen burn in resulting from extended video gaming or sports and news tickers at the bottom of the screen. Also, LCDs are flat and thin TVs that are lightweight and can be mounted on the wall or ceiling. LCDs also boast a 20 year life if used 8 hours per day. NTSC Tuner The NTSC (or National Television System Committee) tuner allows a TV to process and display analog systems. Analog signals are on the way out and by 2009 will be replaced by digital (or DTV) signals. Pixel Resolution Pixel resolution is directly related to the HD resolution of the HDTV. For instance, a 1080p HDTV will have a 1920(W) x 1080(H) pixel resolution and a 720p HDTV will have a 1366(W) x 768(H) pixel resolution. Plasma Plasma uses tiny gas-filled bulbs that each represent pixels on the screen to produce the image. Plasmas are less expensive in larger screen sizes than LCD and boast some of the best contrast ratios along with less picture loss when viewed at angles. However, plasma TVs do not perform as well in bright rooms and their glass screens can result in glares. Also, screen burn-ins and retention can sometimes be an issue with plasma TVs for those who watch sports or news with tickers that run on the bottom of the screen. Like LCDs, plasmas are thin with a flat screen and can be mounted on the wall or ceiling. Like LCDs, they boast a 20 year plus life span when used 8 hours per day. Plasmas are currently less expensive than LCDs for screen sizes above 52". QAM Tuner QAM (or Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) tuners allow a TV to process digital cable channels without the use of a cable (or set-top) box. These tuners are similar to ATSC and are often included with most TVs that already have an ATSC tuner. Upconversion This is a technology becoming more common in DVD players and home theater receivers. Upconverting means that the device takes the existing quality of an image (such as from a standard DVD) and reformats it to look more like high definition. This feature can make your current DVDs look closer to the vivid clarity you would get from HD-DVDs and Blu-Ray discs.
