Home Theater Ideas - Home Theater CRT TVs
Author: Thomas Rockwood
Article:
CRTs, or cathode ray tube TVs, are pretty much regular
television sets that use a series of tubes inside the TV to
generate images on the screen. Modern TVs have evolved from
CRTs, with the introduction of LCD and Plasma flat screen TVs
that are gaining popularity in the global markets. When people
talk about home theater systems today, they almost always refer
to an LCD or Plasma TV as the centerpiece for the room. However,
high defenition CRTs actually offer certain advantages over
their "modern" cousins, and you should consider these
differences before writing off CRTs as an option.
Heat Management - all electronic equipment generates heat when
it operates. CRTs are on the "medium" end of this scale, with
LCDs creating the least internal heat and Plasmas the most.
However, CRTs are the LEAST sensitive to heat exposure, meaning
in temperate climates, LCDs and especially plasma screens will
deteriorate faster than a CRT.
Light Refraction - LCDs and Plasma TVs are flat screens because
their method of displaying images uses small machines inside the
pixels of the actual TV screen, whereas a CRT uses a bulkier
device inside the TV to project the image onto the screen. This
makes CRTs much less sensitive to changes in lighting inside a
room. LCDs, for example, can't display the color "black"
effectively due to the fact that it's LCDs block and filter
light to generate an image. Plasmas, on the other hand, generate
light within each pixel, so light from outside sources reflect
more off a plasma screen than a CRT. Overall, this makes CRTs
more stable in terms of their display quality.
Unit Screen Size - As far as screen size is concerned, CRTs and
LCDs aren't quite as large as Plasma TVs. Plasma screen
technology allows for the creation of larger screens by far than
either LCDs or CRTs. Additionally, CRTs are bulky compared to
the other two flatscreen TV types so this is one area where CRTs
lose out.
Tube Lifespan - CRT TVs are on the medium end of the spectrum
here. Plasma screen TVs have the longest lifespan before the
displays burn out, and LCD TVs degrade the fastest. However, due
to the high heat generated by plasma screens, they can actually
die out as quickly as an LCD screen in hotter climates and with
prolonged use. The main lifespan advantage of a CRT over
flatscreens is that it's lifespan doesn't severely shorten if
the unit is used frequently and repeatedly. It's the perfect
movie marathon device.

Shopping For Dad This Holiday
Author: Lisa M
Article:
Shopping for Dad always seems pretty easy. They always seem to
like whatever you give him. Why not make it special and really
give him something to smile about this holiday season.
One suggestion for a gift for Dad might be the traditional
tools. A man can never have enough tools for projects around the
house. By giving him his favorite tool, one could achieve
several things. First, he gets a smile on his face. Second, your
home projects might actually get done. Finally, he has a toy of
his own.
Another gift idea would be electronics.
These would range from MP3 Players/IPODs to GPSs and TVs. They
are all great ideas. MP3 Players/IPODs can be taken everywhere
and can plug into his car or treadmill. He will enjoy his music
while he is either driving or running. Maybe even watch a game
or movie on his IPOD. Of course the game would look even better
on a brand new television. There are plenty of options between
LCD, Plasma and Projection TV. Don't forget the GPS. Men,
especially Dad, will not want to ask for directions this holiday
season. Save him the trouble with a new GPS system. This way
everyone gets where they need to go safely and on time.
Moms are always expected to look nice for the holidays. Well men
are starting to take their personal hygiene seriously. There are
plenty of products out there to help Dad look and feel his best.
These can range from new electric shavers, to nose trimmers, to
fog-free mirror in the shower, and maybe even a massage toy to
help Dad relax after a long day. All these would contribute to
Dad looking and feeling better during the holidays. Dad may even
want his favorite cologne or hair product. Surprisingly more and
more men are starting to really take an interest in how they
look and smell. I am sure moms appreciate this.
Sports, many argue, are the man's domain at home. Why not spoil
Dad this holiday season with tickets to go and see his favorite
team play? Another suggestion could be sports memorabilia. Does
Dad have a favorite team or player? Maybe get him a poster,
jersey, signed card or ball. Maybe Dad doesn't watch sports,
maybe he likes to play. This holiday, upgrade his sports
equipment. He will think of you every time he plays. Or maybe
Dad doesn't play sports, but enjoys the competition of a good
poker game. Give him something to play this winter like a poker
set, table and a poker book. The game is so hot right now and he
can invite his buddies over for a nice friendly home game.
Apparel and accessories for Dad work well as a holiday gift.
Great suggestions could be a new jacket, work out clothes,
sweaters, or even a nice tie! Dad should really throw away that
old holey shirt and you can replace it with one from his school
alma mater. Maybe he could use a nice black sweater or ski
jacket to keep him warm and in style. Watches are also a nice
addition to Dad's wardrobe. They are both functional and
contribute to that finished look that makes Dad look complete.
All of these suggestions of holiday gifts I am sure will put a
happy face on Dad. Some you can enjoy as a family and others Dad
can enjoy by himself or with his buddies. After all, holiday
gifts are wonderful to receive and put to use and with these
suggestions you will surely not disappoint dear ole Dad.

The Projector vs Plasma TV Debate
Author: Jonny Strong
Article:
If you are considering purchasing a home theater system but are
still unsure whether to choose a projector and screen approach
as opposed to a plasma TV, then read on for some helpful advice.
You may or may not have heard of ambient light. This refers to
the amount of light getting into the room where you will have
your home theater system installed. There is no doubt about it
that a projector and screen will not work as effectively as you
would like if there is a lot of ambient light present, so a set
of blackout curtains or blinds is a very good addition to make
to your room. Of course if your viewing is going to take place
in a window-less cellar, then this isn’t an issue. Plasma TVs
do not have this problem.
What are the advantages of each providing you have created a
level playing field â€" a room with no ambient light to affect
the projector. The main advantage of a projector I would suggest
is the much larger picture than is available in plasma.
Projectors can produce images comparable to an 81-inch screen
and larger. This just isn't possible with a plasma screen.
However, plasmas have the advantage of not being dependent on
the size of available. A projector must have a long enough
distance to project its image onto the wall or screen. To get an
81-inch or greater image, you need a fair distance between the
projector and the target.
You also have to bear in mind that a projector's image is
dependent on more than the quality of the projector; you must be
projecting onto a suitable, specialized surface or you will lose
much of the detail that you should be receiving.
A top quality HD projector with a very high native resolution
would be wasted if you were just projecting the image onto a
wall. You need an equally high quality projector screen with
features such as a matte finish to eliminate reflection and
glare. A plasma display requires no additional equipment.
Overall, there are clearly pros and cons with both. A projector
no doubt has the edge in terms of sheer size of viewing area,
which I suppose is what a home theater is trying to create. It
is also however rather more expensive than a plasma TV and you
have to consider your overall budget.
If you have a room set aside to do the thing properly, with no
ambient light and a decent budget, I would go with a good
quality projector and screen every time.
However if you are just looking to upgrade your existing TV in
your living room which is reasonably small and has several
windows, I would probably recommend a new plasma TV rather than
the projector.

With WGA Writers Striking, All Is Not LOST
Author: LazlosBasement.com
Article:
(Read full article with video and links on
Basement)
We feel your pain, Charlie. We do. We may not have not suffered
the intense trauma of literally spiraling downward amidst the
chaos, confusion, disorder, and derangement of an actual plane
crash (of course, neither did you), but we are about to lose the
most promising season of television in years.
You’ve all heard by now that the WGA is on strike. If you
happen to be one of the few people on the internet old enough to
remember the last time this happened (1988) then you remember
life before reality TV… and you share our pain at the
evolution of the world’s most inaptly named genre. While
it’s true that we occasionally love to hate reality shows,
it’s also true that we vaguely blame them for the downfall of
civilization as we once hoped to know it. In fact we
recently conducted a completely unscientific poll asking some of
our favorite webbers to name the best and worst shows on
television; Kid Nation won both categories. (While some fans
love the purity of interaction which can only occur between two
children, an equal number of viewers just want to dig their eyes
out with a spoon whenever Jared comments.)
For those of you who don’t remember the last strike, not to
worry. You’re about to get a taste of just how potently a
well-organized union can really affect your life… Entourage is
about to go poof. As are 30 Rock, House, Gray’s Anatomy,
Jericho (#&*!), The Office, My Name Is Earl, Heroes, Rescue Me,
Dirt, K-Ville, NCIS, CSI, CSI Miami, CSI New York, CSI In the
Holy Land (it could happen), and a barrage of other shows you
have so flippantly taken for granted by expecting someone in the
real world to actually write the silly things (Jericho possibly
notwithstanding - we love you Skeet!). This is of course in
contrast to the shows which have already gone poof, such as The
Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Saturday Night Live, and pretty
much all of late-night. Just be glad the soap operas and Ellen
have more integrity than that.
The current strike is both complex and important, and not just
because we’re gonna miss the everlovin’ crap out of Steve
Carrell and Jon Stewart. Though the overly simplistic summary
is that writers want more money, what’s really at stake here
is the future of entertainment technology. With the advent
of gadgets like iPods and DVR’s, television has entered the
digital age and viewers have taken control over what they watch
- which means a “Yes” to high dramedy, and a big fat
“NO!” to commercials. The result is that the corporations
that advertise on TV networks are losing money, which means
Sumner Redstone and Rupert Murdoch are losing money. And if we
can be sure of anything in today’s culture of
mega-conglomerated, super-monopolistic corporations, we can be
sure that when these guys lose money, heads roll in a big bad
way. Trouble is, it’s usually the wrong heads.
Enter writers, stage left.Someone has to make up for the
dollars/euros lost by advertisers, and you can be damn sure
that someone is NOT going to be Redstone, Murdoch, or any of the
other uber-beneficiaries of your hard earned consumer dollars.
Instead, networks are passing the loss down the entertainment
ladder to the writers. Most of the public has no direct
emotional connection to the writers; we don’t idolize them, we
idolize the actors. So we don’t have an immediate visceral
reaction to reports that writers are getting the shaft. After
all, they make bucu bucks compared with us. Why should we stop
nursing, or fixing cars, or teaching kids, or fighting fires, in
order to jump up and support them? So the writers are giving us
a reason. We should support them because Matthew Fox is pretty,
but he does not write the show. Not only does the strike affect
viewers, but it brings the celebrities and their hard-hitting
publicity value into the arena. When the writers don’t work,
celebrities don’t work. When celebrities don’t work, people
notice. Low and behold, here we all are, noticing. The networks
say they can’t pay writers for shows being downloaded, but the
writers are slinging their own words back at them. And the
writers are right.
What will be the outcome? Only time will tell, but if it’s
true that history repeats itself we can expect a few things.
Reality TV, or some other relatively inexpensive and probably
mindless genre, will take center stage. This is bad news because
with so much crap already on the air, reality shows will have to
outdo themselves, and the results will no doubt be ugly. Also,
the networks will accuse writers of being greedy, and will
ironically appeal to the average joe’s ever-thinning wallet as
proof of this greed. Fortunately, the writers will put up a
pretty entertaining fight, mostly because they know how to
invoke an emotional response in their audience. In fact, the
best thing they could probably do for their cause would be to go
ahead and script the strike. There’s not going to be fook-all
else to watch anyway. Certainly they will use the most
celebrified amongst their ranks to spread their cause, and
eventually they will come to some agreement that is mutually
unsatisfactory to both sides, because everyone loses if the
strike goes on too long. Viewers were lost in droves after the
1988 strike, and have never returned in numbers proportional to
pre-strike audiences.
Which means the good news is that all this really boils down
to you - the viewer. How long you’re willing to endure without
the writers is in direct relation to what the strike will
achieve. The longer you hold out, the more power the writers
will have, and the more integrity television shows will
hopefully gain. Now is the time to choose your stance, because
networks are about to become obscure, and they don’t like it
one little bit. Technology will soon reach the point that you
will be able to download everything on demand, and then there
will be no time-slots or captive audiences. The Redstones of the
world are vying for control of that technology, while the
writers are wrestling to pull some of that control back to you,
the viewers. Their stake is in you, because they believe you
would prefer to watch shows involving at least one thought
process over the tripe you’d otherwise be fed by network execs
whose real job is to sell advertising time. You watch what you
like, and if Sumner wants to sell you crap, he’ll have to find
a way to make you want to watch the pitch. If he doesn’t, you
can just tune in to the next episode of LOST and tell him
you’d rather keep your cash. Yeah, you might end up paying a
dollar or so for the privilege, but wouldn’t you rather pay a
dollar to watch something you like, than watch what this guy
tells you to for free? The best news about this whole strike
is that you the viewers are unofficially in charge. For once,
someone with some power is banking on your integrity and
far-sightedness to shift the greater power structure. The
networks will deny this fact to the ends of their days, but
this is your last best chance to have a real effect on how
much control consumers will actually have over the new digital
market.

is that you the viewers are unofficially in charge. For once,
someone with some power is banking on your integrity and
far-sightedness to shift the greater power structure. The
networks will deny this fact to the ends of their days, but
this is your last best chance to have a real effect on how
much control consumers will actually have over the new digital
market.

Plasma Television Basics
Author: Bob Janeway
Article:
For years, television has evolved and changed to different
sizes, features and qualities. The process of technology is
unending. Technology has been integrated to many things and the
most visual example of that technology integration is on
televisions.
Television or what they call "boob tube" evolved in the early
1930's. There has been a lot of development as the years passed.
Currently the most talked about when it comes to televisions are
the so called "Plasma TV".
Now, what exactly is a Plasma TV? Maybe some of you would just
say that it is a wide slim TV that you can hang around in your
room where you want it or when you want it. Now, the bottom line
is this, Plasma TV is not just your ordinary TV. The display
that you will actually see is made up of thousand cells. These
cells are glass compartments infused with a certain gas called
"neon-xenon gas". This gas is now plasma suspended.
So what now is plasma? Plasma is a matter that contains number
of particles that are electrically charged. When the neon -xenon
gases are then electrically charged, it will give phosphors of
different colors, such as red, blue and green. These colored
elements are the pixels that are contained in the Plasma TV.
Now what are the Plasma TV advantages?
It's very easy to watch. A Plasma TV works well under any light
conditions. Even the brightest of the lights can't wash out the
pictures. Your Plasma TV screen will not be affected by the
glares of backlight unlike the ordinary TVs that you have to set
it in such a place where you can see it easily and clearly. Plus
it is such a cool TV, very sleek and stylish.
It is wide; the picture is very colorful and smooth. Maybe you
actually notice in the ordinary televisions that sometimes there
are annoying lines running through the display. In Plasma TV's
you will not encounter such things because they are made up of
pixels, making a more colorful and smooth images. Truly a Plasma
TV gives a superb resolution, an exceptional color that sets it
apart from other televisions.
Plasma TV is multi functional. The plasma display could either
be a home television monitor, regular TV, an HDTV capable and
even a home video. Also you can use it as your computer monitor.
Video formats can be accepted by Plasma TV. Different inputs are
included in Plasma displays such as video, component video and
one to two RGB inputs right from your computer. The average life
span of a Plasma TV is for about three and half years even if
you watch and use it 24/7.
A different technology was used in the Plasma TVs. Most TVs
suffer distortions brought about by some magnetic fields. Plasma
TVs are not affected by this even if you put it near the
speakers.
Plasma TV design is very unique, it is slim and has a very light
weight. Some of the Plasma TVs are just 6 inches thick,
surprisingly incredible. Also it is very light, some of them
only weigh 50 pounds. This makes it easier to move it around
your house wherever you want it. It is very space saving. The
unique design really catches attention, because it is very
elegant, you would really like to buy your own.
This is the Plasma TV and its characteristics. Who would not
like to buy his own? Elegant, space saving, and multi
functional, just to name a few. Truly, Plasma TV really
delivers. Enjoy real time entertainment with this unique TV.
Watching TV will never be the same again. Plasma TV, a wonderful
work of technology.

Features which Put Plasma Above the Rest
Author: Stephanie Hammondds
Article:
Plasma televisions typically accept standard video signals
through the composite video and s-video inputs, also through
higher-quality component video terminals. An important
consideration in choosing the right screen is indeed in the
universal input capability and what other inputs you may need.
The higher quality plasma TVs on the market come with the
digital inputs such as HDMI or DVI that accept HDTV signals from
satellite or cable box (and sometimes DVD players as well) in an
all-digital format. Most of the Plasmas you will come across
also include a VGA or DVI PC input which is for allowing your
plasma television the ability to act as a PC monitor if needed.
When choosing your plasma television, be sure to consider the
displays (such as the Panasonics and Pioneers) which are
specifically aimed at commercial broadcast installations. These
models are constructed with input boards that are
interchangeable. This is an advantage since it allows you to
configure your plasma display individually in order to meet your
personal viewing needs.
There are certain elements throughout our society's environment
(such as loudspeakers) which contain strong magnets. This can
distort the standard TV picture if placed too close. Plasma
televisions have risen above this problem since they do not use
electron beams and they are immune to the magnetic fields
effects. This is also proven to be very useful when crossing
into the Southern Hemisphere. Many boats now use plasma displays
since they are not susceptible to the change in the Earth's
magnetic fields.

6 Facts to Read BEFORE Choosing Plasma or LCD TV
Author: Stephanie Hammondds
Article:
Don't buy a flat screen television without reading these
comparison points between LCD and Plasma Televisions.
It is time to sort through all the hype and learn the truth in
the competition between LCD and Plasma TVs. Here's are some
pointers keep them in mind before you rush out and buy your
first flat panel TV. Of course, it is extremely important to
compare them to see which factors come to the top of your
priority list. Both Plasma and LCD TVs have their pros and cons,
but there are 6 main factors which should be considered when
deciding.
1 - Quality of the Picture: Plasma TVs are known to have sharper
contrast ratios which results in better blacks and whites than
LCD TVs. This is because in the LCD technology, the crystals can
not shut off all the light completely because of the bright
backlight. This results in light leakage through the picture
which makes it impossible to get absolute black with the LCD.
And although the Plasma TVs are able to produce better color
saturation, the resolution of the LCD TVs are higher than that
of Plasma TVs. This means that you may get greater details when
watching your high definition video programs.
2 - Size of the Screen If you looking for a really big screen,
then Plasma TVs are for you as they are available in sizes up to
60 inches. The maximum size of the LCD TVs goes up to 40 inches.
And when it is time to compare prices on both televisions for
the same screen size, you will quickly realize that the LCD TVs
are more expensive.
3 - Viewing Angles If many people will be watching your TV, then
a Plasma screen is definitely the way to go since it has a much
wider viewing angle than LCD TV. Your guests will easily be able
to view the TV from either left or right side of the Plasma
screen without any of the loss of image which is inherent of LCD
TVs.
4 - How much Power it Consumes Think Green! LCD TVs are the
winner here as power consumption for LCD TVs is 30% less than
that of Plasma TVs. Further more, Plasma TVs generate more heat
and if you live in an air-conditioned home, keep in mind that
can be affected if you watch a lot of TV.
5 - Response Time of Shows Plasma TV are better at handling fast
moving images better than LCD TVs. This is very beneficial if
you enjoy action movies or sports programs. Traditionally, LCD
screens provide viewers with more of a blur when showing moving
images. However, this may no longer be that much of an issue
since as the response time for LCD TV has come down to as low
as12 milliseconds.
6 - Burn-in Effect (ouch!) Plasma TV suffers from this
particular effect called burn in. You get a permanent ghost like
image stuck on your screen. "The Burn" will occur when you have
static display over a long period of time, so avoid that
whenever possible and try not to pause one image on your screen
for any length of time.
Now that you have the facts, you will be better equipped to make
an informed decision on your next TV purchase with complete
confidence.

Why you Should Choose a Plasma Television
Author: Stephanie Hammondds
Article:
There are some clear cut advantages to purchasing a Plasma
television:
Today's plasma TV screens have much wider viewing angles (some
in excess of 170 degrees) which can just plain put the
rear-projection TVs and LCD displays to shame. Since the new
plasma televisions offer a perfectly flat screen they can now
even compete with a CRT TV in terms of viewing angles. This
allows anyone in the room to enjoy a clear, bright picture
(without having to sit directly in front of the monitor).
Plasma televisions have a widescreen 16:9 ratio. Yes, you are
all familiar with the wide screen view that the movies are
presented in while watching them in the theater, but but the
original intent of the widescreen aspect was to match the
natural view of what the human eye sees. So a widescreen plasma
TV takes these factors into account and therefore allows you to
watch television programs as well as high definition movies in
the format their director originally intended. Especially since
this format is also perfect for HDTV content (either being
broadcast through digital cable or satellite TV, over the air).
Plasma television screens display a more evenly lit and visually
smooth image. This is due to the fact that they don't have scan
lines since every pixel cell has its very own transistor
electrode. This fancy technological jargon simply means that the
plasma monitors now include a built-in line doubling technology
and this increases the quality of the image it receives from the
video signals (which through with a lower resolution).
Plasma televisions have a higher resolution than other TV sets
They are also capable of showing full HDTV and DTV signals
(along with XGA, SVGA and VGA computer signals).
Plasma televisions are head and shoulders above the rest when it
comes to color accuracy. Today, the new plasma televisions
display billions of colors, which displays an extremely smooth
gradation in between even the most subtle shades. This results
in an overall picture that's is truly lifelike. Plasma TVs offer
the best color reproduction of any flat panel TV technology on
the market today with more improvements being tweaked and made
with every passing year in plasma television production.

The Innovation In Televisions
Author: Clint Thomas
Article:
Early LCD television had drawbacks relative to traditional
visual display technologies. These problems have largely been
overcome in recent years, and LCD televisions, along with plasma
displays, have taken over the dominant market position worldwide
from cathode ray displays. Some manufacturers are also
experimenting with extending colour reproduction of LCD
televisions.
LCD
LCD televisions are usually brighter than plasma TVs, and many
can double as a computer monitor or media-center display. LCD
Television technology has advanced greatly, particularly with
respect to the reproduction of black levels. LCD televisions are
now coming out bigger and at prices that are really starting to
compete with those of similar-size plasma TVs.
The technologies found in these big televisions eventually
trickles down to smaller, higher-volume sets. LCD televisions
are also beginning to challenge plasmas in sales in the 40-inch
and above categories, where plasma has been dominant, Fujiomoto
added. Global demand for LCD televisions will rise from 42
million units in 2006 to 69. By 2010, LCD television shipments
are expected to rise to 128 million units.
Television
The output at Kameyama, along with allowing Sharp to make more
televisions, is also allowing the company to come out with a
wide variety of them. The company now has four separate lines of
LCD televisions, ranging in technical sophistication. Some of
the televisions coming out this year will feature a refresh rate
of 120 hertz; double the current 60-herz standard. In the second
quarter, Sharp is expected to come out with a line of LCD
televisions for gamers that will cut down any latency between
the game console and action on the television.
The system will be capable of sending two separate
high-definition video streams between PCs and televisions
through a home's electrical system. With Blu-ray and HD-DVD
delivering true high definition content, Philips has come to the
party with a true high definition LCD television in the Cineos
37PF9731/69. As a 1080p panel, it can screen high definition
television, Blu-ray and HD-DVD in all their glory rather than
down scaling them to fit on a 720p display. The television
sports two HDMI inputs for connecting to HD sources, plus
component, composite, s-video, SCART and VGA. Disappointingly it
doesn't have an onboard digital television tuner.
Ambilight shines coloured light on to the wall behind the
television to match whatever is on the screen, creating a halo
of colour around the television that changes with the image. You
can't see the actual Ambilight tubes when you're sitting in
front of the television; they're hidden behind the bezel and
pointing back at the wall. This isn't a problem if the
television is wall-mounted in a location where you'll never have
to see the lights, such as at the end of a long, narrow room.
But if the television is against one of the long side walls,
with the Ambilights visible off to the sides, it will give
everyone else in the room the irrits very quickly even if it's
just in their peripheral vision.
