Basics Home Delivery Features Picture HDTV Basics HDTV Glossary HDTV FAQ HDTV Technical Details Sound Glossary How a television works Since 1953, the television pictures we see here in the U.S. have been created using a standard called NTSC because it was established by the National Television Standards Committee. Using these signals, which many now refer to as analog to distinguish them from digital TV signals, the process for creating a color television picture goes something like this. Creating a picture is the job of the chassis, or circuit board, and the picture tube. Once the chassis receives the video signal from a broadcast, VCR, or whatever, it amplifies and then processes separately the black and white (luminance) and color (chrominance) components of a color TV signal. The better job the chassis does processing these signals separately, the better the signal that is provided to the tube. Once the chassis is finished, the signal is sent along to the picture tube. As the electron gun at the back of the picture tube begins scanning back and forth from the top to the bottom of the screen it hits thousands of little red, green, and blue phosphorous dots called pixels through a perforated sheet of metal called a shadow mask. Amazingly, using only these three colors, these little glowing dots of color create a full color picture. Because all this is happening at the incredible rate of 30 complete frames every second, we perceive what we see to be full motion images rather than what it is: quickly changing still pictures made up of hundreds of lines and thousands of little dots. It’s hard to believe we’ve been watching this technology in action for almost half a century, but we have, and it’s time for TV to join the digital era. Surprisingly, much of what we just told you about how TVs work holds true for digital TVs as well. But digital TVs differ from their analog counterparts in three major ways: format of the signals, the number of pixels, and how they are able to "paint" a picture. Compared to analog TV signals, which contain 525 lines of information, digital signals can be made up of as many as 1080 lines of information. Instead of the approximatly 200,000 pixels you would find in an analog TV, some digital TVs create pictures using as many as 2 million little dots of color. And while all analog signals create pictures using a process called interlace scanning, digital signals can dictate that a picture be created using either interlace or progressive scanning, the latter of which gives the picture a smooth, glassy look. If you’ve ever wondered why the picture on your computer monitor looks so good, you’ve already seen progressive scan in action. The bottom line on digital TV is that it looks fantastic. The improvement in picture quality over what we’re all used to can range from significant to drastic to mind-blowing, depending on the signal and the TV’s capabilities. If digital TV is not already being broadcast in your area, it will be soon. Digital is the future of television, and the future looks great. What size TV do you need? When shopping for a television, the first thing you’ll want to find out -- before brand, before features, even before price -- is what size you need. There’s are some simple formulas that can help you choose the right TV based on the quality of the signal or "source" you’ll be using and your distance from the screen. The clearer the source, the larger the TV set you should consider for a given distance from the screen. For instance, sitting 5 feet from a 45-inch TV that’s getting fuzzy reception from an antenna or cable would look pretty awful. But if you were watching a DVD on that same TV from 5 feet away, it would look really good. So, when considering what size TV you should have, the quality of the video sources you’ll be using should be a major consideration. Best Source Formula Antenna/Cable/VCR #ft. from TV x 4 inches = proper size of TV screen Satellite TV/DVD #ft. from TV x 6 inches = proper size of TV screen Digital TV #ft. from TV x 7 inches = proper size of TV screen As always, the TV that’s right for you must also fit in your room and not cause domestic discord. These are guidelines and should be used as such. How to Get the Picture Right at Home When you get your new TV home, you’ll want to adjust the picture for the room lighting and your own preferences. Once you have plugged in your television, tune to a station and try the following. 1. Turn the color down so the picture is black and white. 2. If you use an antenna, adjust it for the best reception. 3. Adjust the contrast, brightness and sharpness until you get the clearest picture. 4. Turn the color up until you notice the colors begin to "bleed" into one another, then back off slightly. 5. Adjust the tint so flesh colors look normal. .
