720p Vs 1080i HDTV

Is 720p vs 1080i worth being concerned about? Yes and no. If you're a consumer looking for a new TV, you can happily ignore the 720p vs 1080i debate because every TV which is described as HDTV or HDTV Ready is required to support both formats.

Surround Speaker Mount

NOTE: You should be aware though that lots of TVs which support 1080i have fewer than 1080 lines and so scale the 1080 signal down. That's not a huge issue as even scaled down 1080i is far ahead of a regular NTSC signal. It is worth bearing in mind that more expensive HDTVs tend to have better scalers than cheaper ones, and this may be an issue.

Surround Speaker Mount

However, for broadcasters it's a live issue. Should they broadcast 1080 lines of interlaced video or 720 lines of progressive scan? They could just broadcast two signals, one in each format, but that would use up a huge chunk of bandwidth and be hugely expensive for very little gain.

To answer the question, it's important to understand the difference between 720p vs 1080i. A 720p signal is made up of 720 horizontal lines. Each frame is displayed in its entirety on-screen for 1/30th of a second. This is know as progressive scan (hence the 'p')The quality is like watching 30 photographic images a second on TV. A 1080i signal comprises 1080 horizontal lines but all the lines are not displayed on-screen simultaneously. Instead, they are interlaced (hence the 'i'), ie every other lines is displayed for 1/60th of a second and then the alternate lines are displayed for 1/60th of a second. So, the frame rate is still 30 frames per second, but each frame is split into two fields, which your brain then puts together subconsciously.

Most of the time interlacing works fine, but for fast moving images, such as sports like baseball and hockey it can cause problems which manifest themselves as a 'stepping' effect on-screen. Progressive scan signals don't have this problem and so are better suited to sports.

ESPN puts it like this: 'Progressive scan technology produces better images for the fast moving orientation of sports television. Simply put, with 104 mph fastballs in baseball and 120 mph shots on goal in hockey, the line-by-line basis of progressive scan technology better captures the inherent fast action of sports. For ESPN, progressive scan technology makes perfect sense.'

Bottom line? For us, as consumers 720p vs 1080i is not a debate worth worrying about, so you can relax and focus on all the other criteria on your list when you buy your next HDTV.

What Matters in an RS232, RS422, RS485 Or Fiber Optic Converter

Anyone dealing with serial and USB conversion issues knows that data signal conversion between different protocols can be tricky. Serial data communication originated many years before we came to expect the plug-and-play convenience of modern systems and interface standards. In the past, determining if a device was DTE (data terminal equipment) or DCE (data communication equipment) was an issue, you had to deal with handshaking protocols, and you needed a fairly detailed knowledge of all the various signals. Today's USB, RS232, RS485 and RS422 converters, in conjunction with much smarter software, make things a lot easier, but it's still good to know what you're dealing with. So here are some answers to commonly asked questions.

Surround Speaker Mount

You may see converter vendors advertise SMT circuitry as a selling point. SMT stands for Surface Mount Technology, which allows for significantly smaller currents and thus less heat. Less heat means longer component life and thus higher reliability and lower total cost of ownership.

Surround Speaker Mount

Another question that frequently comes up is whether you can unplug a connector while it is being used. The answer is yes if the converter has a data receiver protection circuit. If you need your converter(s) to be hot-pluggable, make sure whatever you buy offers data receiver protection.

Anytime you deal with converters, you may need end-of-line termination so as to prevent interference on the data line. The problem is that termination increases the load on the data circuit, so it's generally best to use a terminator only at higher data rates (over 19.2hbps or on lines over 200 meters).

While RS-232 cables are pretty standard, people often ask what kind of cable to use for RS-422 and RS-485 connections. The answer is that in most cases inexpensive CAT 5 cables will work just fine. They generally exceed RS-422/RS485 recommendations and are an excellent choice.

Technology changes all the time, and one thing that has changed is the power of COM ports on new computers. Older systems used -12VDC whereas most newer ones use -8VDC. Before you buy, check converter specs to make sure they support the lower voltage. Many new laptops, and even some new desktops, no longer have serial ports and require USB-to-RS232 cables that create a "virtual" COM port. Converters generally work with those cables, but it makes sense to inquire before you buy a converter.

Almost all electronic circuitry is sensitive to electrostatic discharge. The charged capacitance of a human body is actually enough to destroy an integrated circuit in an instant. That's why good converters have static protection circuits. Note, however, that those are not surge suppressors. If you have an outdoor installation, you want to use an opto-isolated converter to protect your computer. Opto-isolators (which, however, require additional power supplies) work by inserting an optical bridge that eliminates transient surges.

Another question that frequently comes up is whether or not to use fiber optic systems. Fiber optics, of course, use light instead of electricity. This means a number of advantages in terms of higher speed, higher bandwidth, and inherent resistance to EMI/RFI and other electrical or radio interference. Fiber optics are best used for long distance communication, such as when RS-232 data must be sent to remote locations. The overhead consists of a special transmitter, the fiber optic cable, and a receiver. Note that fiber optics systems can be single-mode or multi-mode. Single-mode means a single strand of fiber for distortion-free, high-speed long distance communication. Multi-mode cable uses multi-strand fibers and is more prone to signal distortion. Each cable type requires the proper transceivers. Cables can also use either bayonet-style or push-on connectors.

Any time you deal with USB, RS-232, RS-485, RS-422 or fiber optics converters, it pays to do some research and plan ahead. Companies specializing in converters often have downloadable data sheets for all of their products, and that can help tremendously in getting the proper gear.

Fireplace Installation of Plasma and LCD TVs - How Do You Do That?

In considering whether you must or must not install a TV above a fireplace, you must consider many aspects of installation. Listed below is a step by step guide in installing flat panel LCD TVs or plasma TVs above a fireplace. The guide would also answer questions regarding the safety of putting up a TV above the fireplace.

Surround Speaker Mount

A. Do you have plans of using the fireplace again? If yes, then proceed in reading this article for you to learn if you'd want to install your TV above your fireplace. On the other hand, if your answer is no, well certainly you could install any plasma or LCD TV above your fireplace for as long as your wall could support the weight of the mount and of the TV.

Surround Speaker Mount

B. Use a thermometer above your fireplace on a mantel where you're going to install your TV. Get your fire going in full force, if it does not get to or above the TV manufacturer's heat level recommendation, then you are good to go at 90 degrees. If you do not have a thermometer, get your fireplace blazing hot then touch the wall above it to see if it's warm enough and is just okay. If it's too hot to touch, then you probably could not install your TV there.

C. Another consideration aside from heat above the fireplace would be the mantel wall, you'll need to know if the facade has brick that is actually a part of your chimney. If it is a part of your chimney, if you've done a heat test, it should be hot. Most homes built from the 70's have facades. If your fireplace has brick facade, heat is put to small smoke stack that's insulated from heating the surrounding walls. This would protect you from chipping paints and drying walls from totally deteriorating.

D. When you are not sure, call a professional to be able to determine if you could hang your TV above your fireplace. HD installers have installed more TVs above the fireplace from any other companies in the US. Most of the time you could put an LCD TV above a fireplace, however, HD installers will not install big screens if they determine that it is not safe.

The Sound Is As Important As The Picture Of Your TV

Looking at that plasma television, or LCD or DLP television mounted on the wall, what is it missing? Of course you have HDTV connected in some way or another through cable or satellite, but what about the sound? Do you have the surround sound system that makes the entire set-up pop? What good is a great picture if the sound isn't at the same quality level?

Surround Speaker Mount

What do you enjoy about going to the movies besides stepping in sticky stuff as you make your way down the aisle and into your seat? The previews are always a great part of the experience, but the rude kids in the back aren't, so what is missing? Of course it is the big, booming sound that makes you feel like you are in the movie. When there is an explosion on the screen, you expect to feel it. When a rocket blasts off and pushes its way through the atmosphere and into the silence of space, you want to be along for the ride and hearing what is going on is half of the experience.

Surround Speaker Mount

Feeling the rumble and shake and the deep bass of the speakers in the movie theater is part of the experience that you are paying for and part of the experience that make its memorable and enjoyable. So why not have that same experience in comfort at home? You already have the great looking television, now all you need is the great sounding speakers.

While the speaker quality that the manufacturers are installing in their televisions has gotten better, it still doesn't compare to what you can get on the aftermarket or what you should get on the aftermarket. Now, that doesn't mean that you have to go overboard, and if you live in a condo or an apartment, your neighbors will be happy that you didn't go overboard, but you need something that fits the television and fits the room that you will be enjoying that television in.

If the room is large, then you probably need a little more power, if it is a dorm room or a small bedroom, then you definitely don't need to pay for more power if you are never going to be able to use it. This is all pretty evident, but sometimes it's tempting to pick out something that is much bigger than you actually need, just look at that television hanging on the wall.

Plasma TV Buying Guides - Making the Right Informed Buying Decision

Depending on the people that you talk to, there are specific aspects of plasma TV's that need to be checked out before coming to a final buying decision. One of the common mistakes that numerous potential purchasers end up making is in researching and reading through various plasma TV buying guides and then coming to a decision as to what they want. A good starting point is for you to list all the things you are looking for in your new television set and at that point you should take that information that is available in the plasma TV buying guides to locate the one that matches your list.

Surround Speaker Mount

To start with, you are going to need to know the amount that you can afford to spend because there are numerous different types of models out there with functions that are similar that also vary in their prices. In some instances, one or two features might need to be overlooked in exchange for a better priced unit. Even then, wait to go through the plasma TV buying guides, you have other considerations to dwell on prior looking at your options.

Surround Speaker Mount

Another important factor is the type of input that your television has as there are some plasmas that do not have the right connection for your needs. Even though a set-top box will enable you to get cable hooked up, by getting a cable ready set with your plasma TV you will save an extra monthly fee on the box from the cable company. Also take a look at the types and quantity of the inputs that are available on the different types of models that are within your price range for CD players, DVD players, games and even an old VCR if you happen to have one.

Make No Assumption That Prices Equals Quality

It is basically understood that plasma television costs are higher than the majority of other types of monitors. Even though this might be true to a certain extent, the prices have come down substantially in recent years and some now equal the costs of LCD televisions. In the majority of cases, a unit that is priced higher might have additional features, but the plasma TV buying guides can furnish you with the right information in regards to what is available with newer plasma monitors.

Does the plasma unit come with back light capability, normally found with LCD televisions or does it have the capacity to connect up to your newer surround sound system, are some of the considerations that you will want to check out in the plasma TV buying guides. In addition, are there mounting brackets for both ceiling or wall mounts incorporated or do they have to be bought as an addition separately?

Once you have gone through your plasma TV buying guides and have purchased the unit that has all the options bells and whistles etc., that you were looking for in a new television, and the cost is around your price point to your budget, you can start to look for an outlet for your new monitor.

The Samsung LN46A650 46-Inch LCD - The Best of Its Size!

Picking out a new TV is difficult, especially with the range of choices available, from 780p, 1080i, 1080p, different HDMI inputs, brightness, hertz - the list is endless. If you don't do your research before attempting to buy, you end up trolling hundreds of reviews various websites, hoping that you find something everyone can agree on as the "best" for it's size and price.

Surround Speaker Mount

With the Samsung LN46A650, there's no need to look any further. This TV is part of Samsung's Series 6 LCD HDTVs; simply put, more of everything, and better. With the Series 6 TVs, you get full 1080p HD, which is the best available. With the 1080p resolution, you are able to view literally every pixel in HD broadcasting or DVDs. The 1080p has progressive scanning, which means that the image you are viewing is shown with the all the lines of the image going sequentially, instead of the interlaced mode of the 1080i TVs. Beyond that, the color on the LN46A650 is amazing - the blacks are deep and well defined, while the other colors remain sharp and crisp.

With this TV, the response time for switching modes has been decreased to 4ms. This decrease, along with the 120hz image interpolation, provides with sharper images and smoother motion when changing between modes from the TV, such as switching from a game console to the cable broadcast. With the 120hz, the TV is able to input the image that comes between the first and second frames, making the transition much smoother, and doubles the frame rate from 60 to 120 for the best viewing possible.

Along with the four HDMI inputs, the TV also comes equipped with an Ethernet port, and the InfoLink RSS service to get up to date weather, sports scores, and local news. This is a nice touch for people who are eventually going to be building a media PC with their TV; everything looks great on this screen, even YouTube.

With TruSurround, the built in sound system, the bass is deep and dialog and sound effects are crisp and clear, even with the two speakers in the TV. It is compatible with all multichannel formats up to 5.1 channels, giving you top notch virtual surround sound.

Out of the box, the TV is easy to use and set up. It is ready for wall-mounting immediately and can be hooked up to any mount you have. The Touch of Color in this TV is red, giving the typical black coloring a nice shine and a red glow to it.

Overall, this is the best HD LCD TV you'll find for this price, and is one of the bestselling models for the season.

Going For Great Sound In Your Home Theater

Besides the obvious need of the HDTV in the home theater system, there is one thing that the system can't do without, and that would be a good quality surround sound system. There wouldn't be much point in watching a movie or television in all the great high def picture without great sound to coordinate with it. With all of the fantastic video being delivered from the wonderful big screen you also want the same delivery for your ears.

Surround Speaker Mount

The sound is so necessary to create a good experience with the movie, making it something more than an image on a screen. If you were watching a horror movie, imagine that viewing experience with the sound turned down, if you don't have the creepy music and sounds then there is nothing scary about the image. You are just sitting there watching a bunch of dumb kids being killed at camp, and that's no fun. The sound is necessary to set the mood and program you when to jump out of your seat due to being scared.

You are going to have to choose the right surround sound system for the room, just like the HDTV you purchased, you need to know how much power and sound you require. If the room is small then there is no point in getting something too powerful, but if the room is larger you will need to bump it up. Surround sound systems come in many varied styles and kinds but they are much simpler to connect than in the past. The wiring has been reduced and the hookup has been simplified, the manufacturers want the process to be uncomplicated and user friendly.

You can still buy a surround sound system the old fashioned way and pick out all the components and speakers separately, but for most people, that is unnecessary and more complicated than it needs to be. For most consumers, a so called "system in a box" will be all that they need. A boxed system will include all of the things that you need to get the job done.

It won't take very long after you open the box and you will be listening to the new surround sound system enjoying all it has to offer in the home theater setting. This only takes a averagely decent sound system and just a little while to make all the connections. Be sure to look at these systems as they will probably be all that you need.

Next Gen Televisions - Time to Get a Flatscreen?

If you're one of the Flintstones, you may still be using an old-fashioned curved-screen television. It's time to switch up to one of the new flat-screen televisions, don't you think?

Surround Speaker Mount

All types of flat-screen televisions - from LCD display televisions to plasma TVs and projector units, are superior to old screens in a variety of ways. They don't lose definition when seen from the edges, making those least-desired seats in your living room perfectly acceptable. They also have significantly better resolution than old-style televisions. You may still be able to make out the pixels when you sit close, but because flat screen television sets use digital technology instead of less-accurate analog, they have a much superior picture, either in still frames or motion. And they are designed to work well with all the latest technology, from blu-ray to HDTV.

Surround Speaker Mount

Up until recently, flat-screen sets have been on the expensive side, and a lot of people who needed a new set were waiting until the prices came down a little. Well - it's time. Small LCD TVs cost what an old-fashioned television would cost, if you could still find them, and even the large screens are often under a thousand dollars.

Before you buy, though, you need to understand a little bit about these new technologies.

LCD TVs use a liquid crystal display (LCD). Watches using this technology in monochrome have been around for decades, but only in the last ten years have researchers figured out how to create good-quality color liquid crystal that is reliable and long-lasting. An LCD TV has a nice thin appearance, and is basically a layer of liquid crystals sandwiched between transparent layers, with a backlight behind everything. The light shines through the liquid crystals, which have been polarized to show up in the different colors for your display - and there's your television. LCD TVs, when kept dim, use very little electricity, making them great for a darkened TV room. And they are among the cheapest flat-screen televisions you can buy.

LCD TVs do have a couple of drawbacks: first, older models are subject to "ghosting", where a dim image of a previously-displayed picture can be seen through the new picture; for this reason, it's wiser to buy LCD TVs new. They may also not be the best choice for a fast-paced game, as they often have a lag time that can mess you up. Blacks aren't always as sharp and dark as you might like, another reason to view in a darkened room. And if you mistreat it, you can wind up with "dead" pixels, where nothing will display because that segment of LCD has been destroyed. In most new LCD TVs, though, these problems are minimal or nonexistent.

Plasma TVs are also flat-screen televisions, but work very differently from LCD TVs and have a very different set of strengths and weaknesses. While you can lay an LCD TV on its back - carefully - without ruining it, a plasma television can be destroyed if it is laid flat. That's because instead of liquid crystals, it uses an inert gas sandwiched between two pieces of glass to create its display. Seals more easily come loose when the plasma TV is laid flat, allowing the gas to escape right then or over time.

Provided you care for it well and mount it properly, your plasma TV will function well for years. Unlike LCD TVs, plasma TVs display blacks very well (one selling point) and most will also work great for fast-refreshing games. Plasma TVs are often advertised as having the most realistic, highest-resolution, best-contrast display of all televisions, and this is probably true in almost every situation. Drawbacks include the expense - plasma TVs are not economical to make in small sizes, so you'll have to buy a large one - and the relative fragility of these televisions.

Both plasma and LCD TVs usually need good wall mounts. The last thing you want to do with your high-def TVs is install them, only to have them fall down a couple of weeks later! Quality wall mounts for HDTVs should include very good hardware, preferably made by the same manufacturer that produced the television, and excellent directions so you can easily put it up yourself. If you are at all worried that you will not install it right, it may be wise to have someone install it for you.

DLP TVs are the third major set of television displays in use today. These are also called rear-projection televisions, and while they are significantly cheaper than either LCD or plasma TVs, they also are larger and bulkier (though not as bulky as projection TVs were in the past) and have a somewhat less impressive display. Still, for most uses DLP TVs do fine, and because the light source in a DLP TV is usually replaceable by the consumer, they have a much, much longer lifespan.

Very similar to DLP TVs are projector units. These gadgets are often small enough to carry by hand, but can project a movie-screen-size picture if they have a high enough resolution. Similar in appearance to an old-fashioned slide projector, projector units are a great choice for a small area, for someone who needs a portable large television, or for someone who wants a television without having an obvious television.

Your Home Theater

Plasma TVs, LCD TVs, DLP TVs, and projector units are all high-def TVs, as long as they have the appropriate tuner. Once you have them set up, you need to think about other components of your home theater. After all, what's a large-screen television if you have to sit in your old uncomfortable couch to watch it?

Your first thoughts should be for electronics to enhance your viewing experience: good surround-sound speakers for a great theater experience, and universal remote controls to sit in comfort as you control everything in your environment yourself.

Once you have your electronics in line, go for the last thing on your list: theatre furniture. Your home experience, with comfortable chairs that don't fold up when you stand up, can be superior to one at the local movie house. Look for spacious, durable seats that can handle spills as well as roomy cup holders and somewhere to put snacks, remotes, and anything else you habitually keep close while you're watching your favorite flicks.
