It's Slime


i'm planning on getting a new TV . i'm leaning more towards an LCD tv, but some saw HDTV is best. to me LCD has better quality in picture then HDTV. i really don't see any difference between regulre television and HDTV they look the same. what are your thoughts?


Answer
You are mixing apples and oranges here. LCD is a type of monitor and so is Plasma, CRT, Rear Projection, and Front Projection. HDTV is a TV Transmission standard which is like Standard Definition (SDTV), Enhanced Definition (EDTV), and High Definition (HDTV).

You can have an LCD that is HDTV compatible.

The difference in the three levels of standards mentioned above is considerable and I mentioned them in good, better, best order respectively.

You want at least EDTV but possibly HDTV because that is the direction everything is headed unless you like the idea of buying something else in the near future.

LCD is a nice alternative if you want something 36" or smaller. Larger, go with either rear projection with DLP or Plasma.

Just a note on the LCD: make sure it has a faster refresh rate of at least 16ms but 8ms is best. It will help make for a sharper image with less ghosting.

Why are computer monitors of similar size to regular HD television sets so much more expensive?

Is there a real difference in quality of picture? If so, what is it? And if not, why such a huge price disparity?


Answer
Yes, there is a real difference in the picture quality between a computer monitor and a TV. In order to display small text well, a LCD computer monitor has a higher density of pixels compared to a TV. For example, a 40 inch 1080p HDTV has 55 pixels per inch. A modern LCD monitor has 200 to 300 pixels per inch. The higher pixel density is more expensive to produce but allows the monitor to display text clearly.
