Necessary decisions with HDTV are more complex than the previous technology was needed. It 'important to do this right, or our entertainment system will be compromised.

Video module

An ideal size HDTV should look away from the viewer to the screen, which is about 2-3 times the width of your TV screen. The selection of the correct size monitor is one of the most important decisions when buying a new HDTV.

Most consumers sayI want a wall mountable HDTV. But according to NPD Group, a consumer and retail research firm Information Market (NPD.com), only 13 percent of current LCD TV owners and 25 percent of owners say they are ready plasma TV mounted on the wall.

"Consumers are for the flat panel technology, known for their ability to wall mounting, but the difficulties that such a facility, which often leads them to the alternatives that the State or installing dealer. said Ross Rubin, director ofindustry analysis, NPD Group.

E 'pleasing to delegate the decision to a regional vendor. It is not wise. Studies show that many of the salespeople in retail stores is not as informed and impartial, as we hope. For example, one study showed that 37% of retail customers away from the HDTV plasma due to "fire of plasma screens, where the fire has been a problem to remove a couple of years ago (JD Power and Associates ). The investigationconcluded that the traders steered customers more expensive LCD systems.

Television buyers for retailers may be more interested in achieving a low cost and may seek the advice of experts. It should not, however, buyers of television to realize that lower prices are among the merchants is mainly because these stores tend to carry out the second TV brand plan, rather than the major brands like Sony or Panasonic. The price of a particular model of TVare compared to each type of retailer, the prices are surprisingly similar, "JD Power Larry Wu.

Video Format HDTV: 1080p, 1080i or 720p, the highest number is better, right? Although technically 1080i has a higher resolution, is not the obvious choice. Most networks have opted for the 1080i format because it provides high resolution, while ABC, Fox, ESPN and National Geographic Channel on clear images in 720p selected. 1080i is delivered in interlaced format(the "old" format), which means that the TV each frame into two passport attract: once, even for the horizontal lines and a second step for the odd lines.

720p (progressive format is the norm in Europe) has fewer lines of resolution of 1080i, but offers that little picture 'smoother interlaced image, especially when there are a lot of movement on the screen, such as sport.

The new king is 1080p, which is the best of both worlds. A progressive scan, with higherresolution. Few changes are currently available in 1080p, 1080p, but the systems must be able to convert 1080th base material in an image to 1080p.

Source Program Manager

One of the options for the purchase of the DVD player is a lot easier recently. Blu-Ray has become the de facto choice involving the alternative, HD-DVD. The other choices to be made are: satellite, cable or satellite programming. A fourth option, IPTV, TV on what the Internet can notbe more easily dismissed.

Over 100 million American homes that can receive HDTV from their cable system and all the top 100 cable markets in the country is available HDTV programming. Unfortunately, providers of cable rather than just some of the 50 + HDTV available networks. While the local HDTV channels are generally better on cable and satellite, large firms offer more national HDTV channels by satellite and by almost every cable provider. By 2010 60% of American homes withsatellite signal, a maximum of 15% in 2002.

IPTV is not yet available throughout the country. When available, IPTV offers usually around 25 HDTV channels.

Sound Subsystem

Audio component of the HDTV system is very important. George Lucas (Star Wars) once said audio is half the movie to watch. Most HDTV programs are still more than two channels (stereo) sound. The most popular programs are encoded in Dolby Digital 5.1, which is composed of fivefull-bandwidth channels plus a subwoofer channel (the effects of an earthquake).

Surround speakers are two front speakers from a distance as far as possible from the screen, two speakers on the back of the room, a center speaker above or below the TV, which provides most of the dialogue, and subwoofer on the bottom floor of a low frequency. Subwoofer is more, so you can sit anywhere in the room.

If you want to maximize the impact of oursystem of walls, you may want to use it in the wall and / or ceiling speakers. The result is a device of cosmetic art.

System Interconnect (wiring)

The cables used are important, but it is important to know what to prioritize on the cables. E 'common for consumers to spend a large sum of money on cables, but for the wrong reasons, and still leads to a poorer performance.

Taking full advantage of high definition programming (HDTV)coaxial or component cables (red, blue and green, sometimes called "RGB")), Digital Visual Interface (DVI), cable, or a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) cable is required. This is in contrast with the red, yellow and white composite (RCA) cables, or S-Video cable terminated with a standard definition TV service.

An HDMI is the preference for top quality audio and video. Look at the back of the TV and you will see several options. Depending on the selected device,You may need to buy cables separately. The cables can be expensive. If you choose is largely based on price, you can choose between the need to purchase separate cables circumvented.

Cables are one of those details, there could hardly be selected and result in an overall unsatisfactory experience. The details are important.

Installation decisions

Select the correct installation position. This will be the size and shape of the room's. A wall should be idealleast twice the width of the screen, because you must have a minimum distance of audibility to the front speakers. A place to select the ambient light, almost opposite the screen minimizes.

With a couple of models of HDTV, the manufacturer will give a boost to your specific kit. Plan to spend about $ 250 for the mountains. As an advertising system "VESA compliant" or "VESA, VESA stands for Video Electronics Standards Association, and this perceptionDesigned to work with standard VESA mounts. Otherwise, look at the back of the screen and threaded inserts look like a mountain, could be attached. A minimum of four inserts screws are needed. Tilt wall mount for the user to set the angle of the screen to change, and we can help to reduce the glare of ambient light.

A wall on a wall would probably be more difficult than installing an interior wall. Exterior walls typically have several obstacles, includingisolation, as the internal walls. Exterior walls can be built with fire bricks. These brackets or horizontal blocks are generally half the wall was found and the strong growth of the difficulties crossing the wiring devices to screen.

Decide on the wires into the wall or outside. You must run the cable inside a wall, because it is against the NEC (National Electric Code), except when performed by a qualified electrician is not. If you choose toinstallation of cables on the outside of the wall, there are tracks of wire management available at the local home improvement store that can be attached to the wall with a cover that breaks up into position. If the wires going to the inside of the wall that you need a patch performed keyhole saw or a knife to cut holes in sheet rock.

Another good idea is to create a casting, as a cover for the cables will be used. If the power cord (s) will be outside of the wall, so that theThe rationale for the export of other (signal) cables inside the walls is reduced. Or choose a cable tray that matches the wall or paint the bridge. It will seem very natural, and it will be easier to manage than the cables in the wall.

HDTV the right equipment, the best source program, a breathtaking audio subsystem, the electrical connections are correct and properly selected for the decision to install a system will lead to great theater. Now get out of popcorn.
