Information on Full HDTV Television
Since the federal regulation of mandatory DTV (digital television) signal, the subject of full HDTV (full high definition television) has become a more popular topic of discussion and has become more of an interest to the public. With the digital changeover, now everyone has access to HDTV signal. However, an HDTV display is still necessary in order to view high definition no matter what type of signal you have (cable, antenna, or satellite).
The main advantage and interest in regards to HDTV is the high resolution. If you chose to go with an HD converter box, your television still has an analogue picture on a CRT screen. The resolution of an NTSC-analogue television is called 480i; the "i" meaning "interlaced". This means that since there are only 240 horizontal lines available in the CRT tube and the TV camera has 480 lines, every other line is scanned at the same time for 1/60th of a second. Then the other lines are scanned. So, to portray a more vertical resolution, the TV signal is interlaced. With an aspect ratio of 4:3, the analogue TV resolution is 640 x 480i.
The resolution of JDTV and full HDTV are what make them different from analogue TV. The full HDTV resolution is 1080i or 1080p. The standard HDTV has a resolution of 720i or 720p. The "p" stands for progressive scanning, meaning that the vertical scans are done at the same time instead of interlaced. With an aspect ratio of 16:9, the full HDTV has 1920 x 1080 pixels while the standard HDTV has 1520 x 720 pixels.
It seems that the full HDTV (1080p) would be the most desirable product for optimum resolution and viewing pleasure. However, on televisions smaller than 42 inches in size, the difference in the standard HDTV versus the full HDTV isn't visible. For this reason, full HDTV isn't available on smaller tvs. Only standard HDTV (720i or 720p) is available. Hence, a 42 inch screen television or larger is required if you wish to get the benefit of full HDTV.
There are currently three options in screen technology for full HDTV: rear projection HDTV, full HD plasma, and full HD LCD TV. Though rear projection televisions are still available, the demand and popularity of them seems to be decreasing. For that reason, many manufacturers aren't even making them anymore. Therefore, it's advised to choose between the two remaining options. Other things to consider when choosing a new television are response time, the contrast ratio, and color reproduction qualities.
Full HDTV plasma displays are bright, have a wide color range, and can be produced in fairly large sizes, up to 58 inches is commercially available. Because the display panel is only about 6 cm (2.5 inches) thick, the overall thickness is about 4 to 6 inches. Contrast ratios are as high as 50K to 100K are claimed but, in reality, the highest available in stores is 30K with response times at 0.001 milliseconds and refresh frequencies of 600 Hz. Fast response times make plasma tv's ideal for fast motion video (films or sports viewing). Plasma screens also are said to have better color reproduction than LCDs and to have a wider viewing angle.
However, the power requirements for a plasma TV can be as high as 500 watts. Also, plasma televisions are heavier than LCDs; however, plasma screens can be mounted on the wall.
Full HDTV LCDs have the same resolution as plasma HDTV screens. The effect of a slower response time in LCD TVs could possibly be ghosting on fast moving images. However the refresh rates have decreased to around 2 milliseconds with 240 Hz. The contrast ratios have also been enhanced to 30K. The biggest advantage of the HDTV LCD televisions is price since they are less expensive than plasmas.
A note of caution, except for resolution, when comparing specifications many reviewers question their accuracy and their meaningfulness to your viewing experience. My advice is judge for your self. In conclusion, barring financial and/or physical restraints or simple preference for smaller TV size, full HDTV is the obvious choice. If striving for a home theatre experience, make sure your full HDTV is compatible with the entire system you are planning.

need some help bought a new tv lost the remote unable to turn channels?
I bought a Panasonic 42 in. (Diagonal) Class Plasma Full HD (1080p) Television, VIERA and lost the remote. I have charter digital hdtv but the tv wants me to turn it to ch 3. Well the bottons on the front won't let me and I couldn't find out how to in the owners manual.
it has up and down buttons but for some reason wont go to ch 3
you can usually program the cable remote to work with your TV try that you shouldn t be using channel 3 you should be connected with either HDMI cables or if the cable company ran it they usually use Component cables so try changing the input on the TV then you can use the cable remote and program it to the TV> Call the cable company to help with programing if you can t do it they will talk you through it over the phone.
