HDTV

February 17, 2009. However, most TV stations will have the options of leaving their analog transmitters for a while longer, if they so choose. How long? Not known, yet, but most will probably shut them off for simple reasons of economics.

Modern electronic design and assembly is outside the scope of any home electronics builder. Devices as complex as televisions are beyond the abilities of most smaller electronics companies.

However, a starting point is to obtain a display panel. LCD display panels can be purchased from a number of electronics component suppliers.

Next is the image processor that can take a video signal and convert it into the correct signal format to feed to the display panel. A single board, high speed signal processing computer might do the job.

Add power supplies, a case and a user control interface and you have a flat screen television.

Before rushing out to buy the parts, you must expect the components to cost far more than a standard television. It will absorb vast amounts of time in electronic design, software and assembly and demands a skill set that few people have. The end result is likely to be inferior to even the cheapest televisions around.

Yes.

VGA is a standard video interface that uses red, green and blue signals with two synchronization signals. Component is a different interface and the two are not directly compatible. Some televisions will accept either RGB or component on the same connectors but not all of those have the ability to accept the separate sync signals.

RGB to component converters are available but may of them do not work with VGA signals because of the different line and frame rates that VGA uses compared to brooadcast signals.

Perhaps a better solution is to obtain a DVI display port for the laptop. They can be connected using a USB device and with the correct lead, they will link to an HDMI port on the television. HDMI carries audio as well as video while DVI is video only. They are otherwise compatible with each other. Separate audio will be needed to do it this way.

There are a smaller number of USB based HDMI ports for a computer, They will normally have audio as part of the signal so removing the need for separate links.

It is always worth checking the television manual to see what capabilities the television has before investing in new hardware.

Conventional (pre-BD-XL) Blu-ray Discs contain 25 GB per layer, with dual layer discs (50 GB) being the industry standard for feature-length video discs. Triple layer discs (100 GB) and quadruple layers (128 GB) are available for BD-XL drives.

To change Input on the Dynex television without the remote, a person can use the channel selector buttons. Change the channel manually to the lowest possible number, then go lower until the right Input is reached.

The lamp on a Hitachi 52 inch television is changed by opening the rear cover of the TV and removing the bulb cover. The bulb is then unlatched, pulled from its socket, and a new bulb installed.

Every portable DVD player has a light somewhere to show how good the power is, such as a green, orange, or red light. If you are charging the battery while the player is off, either a light on the battery or on the player will shine red when charging. The light will change to green when the battery is fully charged

Plasma is considered to be the cutting edge.

Satellite is better, they are adding more programing all the time.

It depends on the display technology and the length of time a static image is displayed on the screen.

The problem affects plasma displays as well as older CRT models. High brightness images on these screens can cause the phosphors that generate the visible image to reduce their intensity after a long period. The brighter the image, the more the phosphor will be "burnt", resulting in a ghost image that tends to be permanent. once it has appeared.

The worst kind of image to leave on a screen for long periods tend to be high contrast graphics with hard edges as these will become visible as ghost images sooner than low contrast images with softer edges. It is worth reading the manual to follow the manufacturer's guidelines.

LCD based screens to not have the same problem.

A transmit antenna sends radio energy from an electronic circuit into space. A receive antenna captures radio energy from space and connects it to an electronic circuit.

Most people own several antennas, for example in transistor radios, mobile phones, keyfobs for locking the car, television satellite dishes or antennas on chimneys.

SXGA

Yes but not after feb 2009 depending on your television

RCA makes many models of televisions. We will need to know the model, or at least the size of your television in order to answer this question. Without this information, this question is akin to asking 'What size of tires does my Ford take?'

Check stores like Fred Meyer, Best Buy, Sony, Circuit City and WalMart or Target. Browse their paper flyers or websites to see what is on special at any given time.

Parts of the circutboards

My Panasonic had a button on the remote labeled CC which is for captions. To see subtitles, the program has to be made that way and in all presentations will have them on screen.

That's probably the internal cooling fans running.

Both types display the HDTV format which has much higher resolution and clarity than the old NTSC format.

LCD and plasma are two different types of display. Plasma screens are more expensive to buy and maintain. LCD screens have a backlight that has to be replaced when it blows out. Plasma screens, if they fail, generally have to be replaced completely. Quality varies widely so shop around before committing your dollars.

Wide-screen is another question. Movies are displayed much wider than the old NTSC TV format. New TVs have lots of wide formats. A lot of new formats seem to be cropping up. Is HDTV a widescreen format? I think it is but am not sure.

The above used to be true. A comparable size/ resolution Plasma will often be less expensive than it's LCD counterpart. Plasma and LCD are both going to be more cost effective to replace than to repair.

HDTV is by definition broadcast in widescreen. When watching a TV show that is in HD it should fill your TV completely. With movies or blu-ray discs there are two different widescreen formats: 1:1.85 and 1:2.41. The first is the 16:9 format that will fit your widescreen TV, the second is used for movie theaters' formatting. Most blu-ray discs will keep the original aspect ratio so it is normal to see black bars on the top and bottom of your screen.

Liquid Crystal Display it stands for. It doesnt 'do' anything, except makes our old TV's much flatter (no CRT [tube] which is the big pointy part of the back of a tv)

gives harsher colours...not as 'warm' colours.

It depends on the Camera output and the TV input. Check the manufacturer's cut sheets for each and look for what connections are available. RG-59U Co-axial (COAX) cable with type BNC ends are used commonly in the security industry

It depends on what you are looking for as there are many excellent brands to choose from. I believe the Panasonic TC-PVT30 series is an excellent choice. Panasonic has a few models that rank highly.

Emerson HDTV's are a brand name operated by the Funai Corporation and are a range of low budget televisions. While they are low cost, opinions are mixed about the quality and reliability of the models.
