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

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.

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.

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.
