Wide Screen HDTV's have been around for quite awhile. The idea came from
wide screen movies which you normally see in the theatre. If it can be
done there, why not have the same viewing pleasure at home?
This
is why in 1995, the US FCC or Federal Communications Commission set the
standard for all wide screen HDTV's to have the 1920 by 1080 pixel
format. Such dimensions were not decided on a whim but rather in line
with the 16x9 aspect ratio used by most movie producers. In fact, this
is also used with the 720p/1080i HDTV broadcasts and widescreen DVDs.
Over
the past 2 years, sales of widescreen HDTV's have increased despite its
expensive price. Although you can get one for £300, the higher end
models which cost £1500 have a lot to offer to the consumer.
One
significant difference with the wide screen HDTV's is the enhancement of
the letterbox bars which are the black bars on the edge of a TV. With a
flick of the remote, you can crop, stretch or zoom a 4:3 display so it
will be able to fill the screen.
When this is set to normal, you
will see the black bars on both sides of your screen. If you enlarge or
zoom what you are watching, these black bars are nowhere to be seen but
the downside is that this crops the image in the top and bottom areas.
If you want to watch this in the formal which the movie was made, set it
on full or wide mode.
The ability of a television that can show
the audience how the producer intended it to be viewed is truly the
selling point of the widescreen HDTV. This is even if some consumers say
that there are drawbacks like the image on the screen may be sometimes
smaller and there is a loss of resolution.
But should this
discourage you from buying this product? Perhaps but a lot of people
will say no because you are still able to watch a movie much better than
your regular television.
When you decide to buy a wide screen
HDTV, consider the size of TV bases on the resolution. This is because
watching a television too close could damage your eyes so see to it that
the unit you will purchase has sufficient room in your home so this can
be viewed at a safe distance.
For instance, a 50 inch wide screen HDTV should be best viewed at a distance of more than 12 feet from the screen.
Since it is thinner than the regular television, you can turn almost any room in your house into a mini theatre.
Analysts
say that widescreen HDTV's have a bright future as more programs will
now be produced in this format. This means although you will spend a
bundle getting one right now, it is well worth it if you are always
glued to the tube.
