HD stands for high definition and you know what TV stands for, right? The difference between HDTV and regular TV is clear to see, literally. HD sends out its' images in a much higher resolution. It is a visual experience closer to cinema than to TV. The HDTV screen is and oblong in the ration of sixteen to nine (16 units wide by 9 units tall). The resolution is a sexy 1920 by 1080 just like the cinema. The TV companies broadcast in high definition while regular TV act like a screen between the viewer and the signal. Not so with HD.
It was genuinely the next best thing to being in Beijing. From the opening ceremony with its torch-bearer running in 'slo-mo' around the whole stadium to the underwater tumble turns of Micheal Phelps, every screening was a joy. It was a whole screen experience too. Without those nuisance black bars top and bottom of the screen.
Due to the greater amount of bandwidth, the colors on an HDTV set will look more realistic. An HDTV set is 2 to 5 times more detailed visually than normal television sets. You'll barely be able to see the scanning lines, if you can see them at all. This increase in clarity and detail makes high definition television more pleasing to watch. What would this kind of television viewing be without surround sound? Most broadcasters broadcast in HDTV with surround sound.
So its worthwhile going that little bit further when you choose your new HDTV TV and add a new surround sound package to complete the best picture with the best sound. After all it makes sense to get the most from your new purchase. HDTV will enhance all your TV viewing but be prepared to be even more popular when you invite others over to watch the match on your new HDTV. - 16651
