About Televisions

In recent years the functionality and the way Televisions are made have undergone some big changes. Here are some important issues worth thinking about when buying a TV:

Should you go for Standard screen (4:3) or Widescreen (16:9)?
The aspect ratio of Widescreen Televisions is 16 units (length) by 9 units (height), so you can view films as they were intended to be viewed, without those black bands along the top and bottom of your screen. Widescreens are becoming more popular because the widescreen shape is closer to how the eye really sees than the traditional 4:3 standard screen shape.

Another good reason to consider widescreen is that digital TV will be broadcasted in this format more often. The bad thing about Widescreen Televisions is that 4:3 broadcasts can't use the full area of the screen. As a result, 4:3 images on say, a 28" widescreen will not be as large as on a 28" standard screen TV. Most people find that this is worth living with and is more than amply made up for by the pleasure of watching widescreen films as the director wanted them to be seen.

Infact, it's not much of an issue anymore because most widescreen models now include various widescreen picture settings that allow you to zoom a 4:3 image to fill the screen. If you still prefer traditional 4:3 TVs, a good solution is to go for a very large 4:3 (37" and over) screen, which will also look good in widescreen because you won't mind having some of the screen area chopped off.

Television Sound

Although mono TVs are still available, the price of nicam stereo Televisions has come down so much that you should consider nicam as an essential feature.

Some Televisions have a built-in Dolby Pro-Logic (DPL) processor, which enables you to enjoy cinema surround sound in the home. DPL uses four separate audio channels: front left, front right, centre, and rear. The separate rear speakers need to be placed behind the viewing position.

The effect of DPL is that "being there" experience of feeling like you are right in the middle of the film's action. A DPL TV isn't the only way to enjoy surround sound. You could choose instead to buy one of the many Dolby Pro-Logic hi-fi systems into which you can plug your nicam TV. Also, you could opt for a dedicated DPL amplifier to plug your TV into. Whichever option you prefer, remember that a nicam stereo TV is a pre-requisite to all of them, without nicam there can't be any DPL. Another feature to look for is Digital Surround Processing (DSP) or Pseudo Surround which is available on some DPL TVs. DSP enables you to experience pseudo surround sound on a soundtrack that was not recorded in DPL.

The new generation of cinema sound is Dolby Digital Surround which utilises six independent digital audio channels. Dolby Digital sound tracks are currently only available on DVD films. So far, only Toshiba have made TVs with built-in Dolby Digital processors.

Television Picture Features:
All TVs flicker but we don't notice the flicker because Televisions have a screen refresh rate of 50Hz. This means that the on-screen picture is replaced 50 times per second. The trouble is that once a TV screen gets larger than about 28", the flicker may occasionally start becoming noticeable. To combat this, manufacturers have started creating 100Hz TVs which refresh the picture 100 times a second, making the flicker undetectable to the naked eye.
