The HDTV, or High Definition Television takes TV watching to that next level. Not only is it the hippest and most trendy type of TV available in the market today, it is also the coolest TV experience ever!
So what is it that makes the HDTV as ultra chic and as coveted as it is?
The secret that the television manufacturers aren't telling you is that very few programs are broadcast in the full 1080 resolution. This will change eventually, but if you're shopping for a "placeholder" television to last you through the next three years, you can score a smart bargain now. The big exception is Blu Ray and HD-DVD; the film studios are making a serious push to release their wares on DVD in the full glory of 1080 scale. So if you're watching movies, it's probably worth it to spring for 1080p now; if you're just watching HD sportscasts, the HD Ready sets will suffice.
For specific recommendations, the Philips TVs have a number of features that are unique to the market. The most notable one, and the one that gets the most press, is the CINEOS backlighting system, which will backlight the wall behind the television to match the ambient color of the picture on the screen. Buying a wall mount for the Philips Ambilights can be troublesome but http://www.tv-wall-brackets.co.uk had some suitable wall brackets. While this sounds like something designed by a marketing weasel, the ultimate effect is rather surprising. It greatly increases the immersion you have with the picture. It relies on a trick of the human eye, and how our visual cortex works. Since a person watching a television tends to focus on the moving picture, a lot of the random motion of the eye gets stilled, and thus, things out of the center of field tend to get short shrift by your brain.
By making the ambient light outside the "focal point" of the image the same color, your brain is tricked into believing that there's "more to the picture" and there's an illusory depth of field that's quite compelling. The Cineos system is found on Philips Models 42PF9831D/10 and 42PF9731D/10, both of which are 42 inch sets. The first one is "HD Ready" and the second is "1080 Compliant". Both are progressive scan sets, giving excellent picture quality.
But that's not all. HDTV is also the hottest Television system particularly designed to support prompt distribution of programs. And if at all that wasn't enough, it also provides 5 times the resolution provided by your regular TV!!!!
