What is HDTV?

Everyday we hear more and more about HDTV. Watching your local channels such as
ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX you might have noticed that all of these stations now
broadcast is HDTV. So what exactly is HDTV or High Definition TV and why is it
better than the broadcast signals of the past.
Basically High Defintion means the signal is transmitted from the source at a higher
resolution. This also means that the video has to be initially captured with a higher
resolution. Television signals up until recently have always worked on a analog
signal. With an analog signal a 6 MHz analog (as opposed to digital) signal carries
the information needed to display the images onto your television. In the USA all
analog signals have 525 scan lines for an images. Now these scan lines are
refreshed every 30th of one second which is fast enough for the human eye not to
notice the changes. Along with this the analog signals are interlaced which means
that have of the lines change every 16th of a second and then the other half change
and the following 16th. The horizontal resolution for analog signals on regular
televisions is comparable to a computer display with a resolution of 640X480 pixels
or basically 525 lines of resolution.
Now for the past 10 years or so we have all heard about Digital TV, Digital Cable or
Digital Satellite signals. These digital signals provided a clearer and more detailed
picture than the old analog signal could because more information can be
transmitted over a digital signal. HDTV is just a very high detailed digital signal
capable of producing images with resolutions up to 1080 lines of resolution. This is
almost double the resolution we have been viewing for the last 70 some odd years.
But HDTV does not have to have 1080 lines of resolution.
There are 3 formats currently available for HDTV:
720p : 1280 x 720 pixels are progressively scanned(all pixels change at the same
time as opposed to interlaced where half are changes then the other half)
1080i : 1920 x 1080 pixels are interlaced
1080p: 1920 x 1080 pixels are progressively scanned (this format offers the most
detailed image)

1080p HDTV

You may know that 1080i refers to 1080 lines of vertical resolution interlaced. This means that instead of 30 frames a second, the TV displays 60 fields per second, where each field contains alternate lines of the picture. Because the fields are refreshed so quickly, your brain interprets the signal as 30 full frames per second.
720p means 720 vertical lines of progressive scan video where every frame of the
signal is displayed in its entirety, giving a higher-quality, film-like appearance to
the picture.
Most HDTVs or HDTV-ready TVs support either 720p or both 1080i and 720p, very
few support 1080p HDTV. Part of the reason for this is that very few broadcasters
want to broadcast 1080p signals. The reason for that is that 1080p requires
significantly higher bandwidth than either 1080i or 720p. And for broadcasters,
bandwidth is a precious commodity. Using up more bandwidth for one signal means
that there is less room for other channels. So in many cases, opting for a 1080p
signal would mean dropping or degrading other channels.
Is 1080p HDTV important? Well, yes and no. Not all video footage benefits greatly
from progressive scan. Sports broadcasts and action movies look better at 720p
than 1080i because there is lots of fast movement and the interlacing in 1080i is
sometimes noticeable, reducing the quality of the picture. Movies and TV shows
where there is not a great deal of fast action look better at 1080i than 720p because
the higher resolution has a greater impact on quality than the progressive scan,
which has little effect where there is only a small difference in the image between
frames.

Smart Tips on Choosing an HDTV

It's not extraordinary for anyone to get an HDTV. Everyone has the right to enjoy the fruit of technological advances for as long as they can afford them. Currently, there are many HDTVs on the market and it becomes more confusing to choose which among them is the best. This simple guide should help you decide on which HDTV will be the right one for you. The more you are informed on HDTV features and options, the smarter your decision will be.

1. Screen Size - Although bigger is generally better, placing a big screen in a small room is unseemly. Similarly, placing a very small screen in a big room tends to cause some viewers to miss some picture details. Here is a simple calculation to determine the screen size right for your room: D/2 to D/3 where D=distance from the TV to the sitting area, the result of which is the ideal screen size range.

1. Screen Resolution and Display - You need to test the settings and controls and ensure that they can be adjusted as you desire. Your TV should guarantee a balance among brightness, contrast and color to achieve the perfect display.

1. Plasma versus LCD - In choosing between a plasma screen and an LCD screen, consider the following pros and cons: Plasma: Pros - display is full of life owing to the phosphor coating of the screen and excellent viewing angle; Cons - screen has greater tendency to reflect lights in the room and also susceptible to burn-in. LCD: Pros - lighter weight of panel and requires less energy and less expensive than plasma; Cons - picture displays slightly less natural. However, if your budget is limited, the LCD is generally cheaper than a plasma.

1. Extra Features - You may want to get other add-ons to enhance your viewing. Consider the following: HDMI Cable - There are cheaper HDMI cables that you can buy. Do your research in order to find the stores. Surge Protector - Shielding your TV decreases your risk of overexposure to the TV radiation. TV Stand - Older people still find it more comfortable seeing their TV on a rack or a TV stand rather than hanging on a wall.

1. Pictures and Sounds - HDTVs come with a wide range of picture and sound presets. These presets like 'Sports' and 'Movie' significantly affect the image displayed on the screen as well as the audio output. It's a good idea to try all these presets in order to select the best display right for your viewers.

1. Remote Control - Remote controls are an essential accessory of every HDTV. It's because you can enjoy all the benefits in having one. These benefits include:

• Ease of adjusting your TV's volume and other settings, as well as switching between channels.
• Preserved TV buttons because you don't have to push or touch them since you are using the remote control.

LED HDTV Guide and Benefits

An LED is the most recent high definition television to hit the market. Instead of using cold cathode fluorescent lighting for lighting their LCD screens, the LED TVs use light emitting diodes. LED TVs bring more benefits to viewers than other types of LCD TVs.
How LED TVs Work
LED (Light Emitting Diodes) are semiconductors that emit light when electricity passes through them. LEDs turn on and off very fast. As a result, LED HDTVs have a higher contrast ratio. Unlike Plasma and LCD TVs, LED TVs can turn these diodes independently, thus enabling it to display darkness or brightness in a split second. This provides people with more accurate images. In fact, you have the ability to watch close to real images on an LED screen.
LED TV Benefits
There are many benefits that come from using an LED HDTV over other types. The benefits come from their functionality and design. They have a better picture quality. Picture quality is always important, and it is one of the major aspects that people look for in their HDTV. The LEDs used produce a white light that has better color spectrums. This enables people to see better, more crisp, and brilliant colors.
These TVs don't use as much energy as other types of TVs. The energy savings can be as high as 40%. This transforms into lower electric bills by up to a few hundred dollars a year. LED TVs also generally have a sleeker design. Because LED diodes are so compact, they don't require as much space. Many LED TVs are only 1 inch think. In addition to its small size, the TV is very light, making it easy to move, and easy to mount on the wall. Most LED TVs are actually internet enabled; meaning that you can stream movies and TV shows from websites like Hulu and Netflix. With the clear screen and a Wi-Fi connection, you can actually web chat on your big screen, or surf the internet. Furthermore, an LED HDTV takes a long time to wear out. Unlike Plasma and LCD screens, and LED screen takes quite a few years before the diodes won't light up.

HDTV Facts

What are HDTV sets?
HD stands for high definition. HDTV's offer better screen resolution which just means that more pixels are compressed into the size of the screen which provides more saturated colors and better detail. The aspect ratio of these televisions is like what you would expect from a theater screen.
What are the types of HDTV's available?
There are four main types of HDTV's, which are LCD, Plasma, CRT, and rear projection. LCD, rear projection, and Plasma are widescreens and offer screen sizes up to 108 inches whereas CRT's are the same as your regular television set which offers screen sizes up to 40 inches.
Which is better Plasma or LCD?
LCD offer less power consumption, wider viewing angle, and longer screen life whereas plasmas offer a better color quality and faster refresh rate.
What is the average cost of HDTV's?
This is a wide range as there are so many different HDTV's to choose from with many different features. The range is from $200 to $3,000 according to brand name, size, and features.
Do I need a HDTV?
Well, if you want to see the best quality pictures, then the answer is yes. You also have to remember that everything is going digital and your old analog set even with a converter box will never allow you to view in high definition.
Will I need other accessories in order to watch high definition?
If you truly want to watch high definition, you will need to have a service such as cable or satellite that broadcasts in high definition. If you purchase a HDTV that has a built in tuner you will not need any other gadgets, however, if you purchase one that is HD ready then you will need to purchase a HD tuner.

Makeup for HDTV: Looking Your Best on TV

The purpose for all makeup is to enhance your best features and minimize your flaws. Unlike television of old, high definition television does not require the thick pancake makeup, dark contouring or dramatic applications. Nor will everyday street makeup create flawless looking skin.
A professional makeup artist, studied in HDTV, can tailor your approach guided by your coloring and bone structure. For personal application, the following is a guideline to the products and application techniques you will need before you appear on HDTV.
Men and women alike require a foundation, concealer and blush/bronzer for any HDTV appearance. Women (and some men) will also need eye makeup and lip color.
Aptly named, the foundation selected for on air appearance is the single most important element in creating a pleasing look.
The allover face makeup used in HDTV differs from daywear. Even the most flawless complexions should not attempt to go barefaced. Makeup for HDTV should cover the entire face, neck, hands and any other exposed skin. Attempting spot application will appear just as that...spots!
The two formulations of makeup to date which best serve HDTV are airbrush and mineral powders.
Airbrush makeup is the choice of most professional television makeup artists. The coverage is complete and flawless. Applying airbrush makeup requires a compressor-like machine. Makeup is applied in seconds, evenly and completely. Tiny molecules of either water based, alcohol, polymer, or silicone based foundation is sprayed through a medium to fine airbrush nozzle onto the skin.
Complete airbrush systems with a low pressure compressor (about 10 psi) range in price from $120US to $1,000US or more.
Television anchors, hosts or frequent TV guests would benefit from this investment. Use takes a little practice, but it is easy to master. The flawless appearance pays for itself.
"Airbrush" makeup in an aerosol can is available at many price ranges. This make-up works quite well for occasional application. However, following manufacturer's instructions to apply to the hand and then to the face can lead to streaking. Direct spraying on to the face is not recommended by most manufacturers, or by this author. This product is inexpensive, and can produce acceptable results.
Airbrush makeup can correct flaws, hide tattoos and cover rosacea, port wine and similar skin blemishes.
The other option for HDTV quality foundation is mineral powders. This is the easiest makeup to master for amateur application. Skin tone shades are applied via a kabuki brush, a stub handled thickly bristled brush.
Application involves buffing the powder into the skin, which creates a soft matte appearance. Shine on HDTV is glaring, distracting, and reminiscent of the flop sweats on Broadcast News.
The actual application uses a surprisingly small amount of powder to achieve coverage. Minor to moderate skin imperfections can be hidden without creating a chalky appearance.
The only caution in selecting a mineral powder makeup is the mica content. Mica is a light reflector, and can create unflattering reflections on the skin. Test any mineral powder under a strong light or in bright sunlight. If the powder appears to "sparkle", choose another brand with less reflectivity.
Poorly applied makeup is a distraction (remember Al Gore's imitation Reagan makeup during the first George W. Bush presidential debate?)
Adjusting the makeup formulation and application before standing in from of a high definition camera can create the appearance you need to allow your message to be heard.
