LCD TV




Are there differences in LCD TVs? Today absolutely Yes.

Picture and sound quality can vary considerably. Many TVs look great when you first see them in the shop, but don't look as good at home with normal TV signals. So don't rush, spend time watching a few different TVs and noticing the differences. Listen too, sound quality is variable.

Good shopping!

HDMI - What Is It?

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006

HDMI (which stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface.

To put it in jargon-free terms, its a high quality connection mechanism bewteen various digital home theater components.

HDMI is an interface standard that works between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, or an A/V receiver and an audio and/or video display or monitor, such as an LCD digital television (DTV), over a single cable.

HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable.

It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and provides 100% complete and correct transmission of both the visual and audio digital signals.

The HDMI Founders are the leading consumer electronics manufacturers such as Hitachi , Panasonic, Philips, Sony, Thomson (RCA), Toshiba, and Silicon Image.

Another important aspect is Digital Content Protection. A subsidiary of Intel - Digital Content Protection, LLC - is providing High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) for HDMI.

Because it provides content security, HDMI has the support of major movie studios such as Fox, Universal, Warner Bros. and Disney.
