What Makes HDTV Superior to Regular TV



Are you looking to upgrade your home entertainment system? In that case, you are probably going to have to purchase a new television. And if you are, then you may be considering the option of a HDTV set. Although it is clearly pricier than a traditional analog TV set, an HDTV unit does hold the promise of providing a cinematic quality picture right at home in your living room. So, should you get an HDTV then? If you still can’t quite make up your mind, then let’s take a look at the reasons for choosing HDTV.

HDTV stands for “high definition television” and an HDTV broadcast signals comes in at a higher resolution than regular television broadcast signals. The HDTV signal is a digital signal, whereas the regular type of television receives only analog signals. (A typical HDTV product will be able to receive analog signals as well.)

All right, perhaps this is all a bit too technical for your tastes. What exactly do these things mean to you, the viewer? For one thing, it means quality, a kind of video quality that approaches what you can get at the cinema. HDTV allows for a true viewing aspect ratio of 16:9, which basically means that the picture displayed on the screen can be 16 units wide to 9 units high, which is the same viewing aspect ratio of widescreen cinema. Furthermore, HDTV provides you with a television resolution of 1920 x 1080, which is high enough to make you feel like you are at the movies, even if you’re just watching your favorite TV show. The good thing is that so many of today’s television broadcasts are in high definition, so you can take advantage of that and view everyday TV in crisp, high-resolution quality.

With the greater amount of bandwidth available on an HDTV, the colors of the television picture will be crisper and more realistic. You also get more detail with an HDTV; it is 2 to 5 times more visually detailed than analog television sets. You will hardly be able to see any scan lines, if you can see them at all. The quality of picture, the superb clarity and detail, are what make high definition television such a great entertainment experience. What’s more, it generally comes with surround sound as well, which will enhance the viewing experience. There are exceptions, but most television programs in HDTV are broadcast with surround sound. You should make sure your entertainment system is capable of rendering such high audio quality.
