HDTV

The excitement of buying a shiny new 50-inch plasma quickly fades when standard definition broadcasts of the home team, nightly news and Seinfeld look worse because all the imperfections and artifacts are blown up on a bigger screen with higher resolution. If you are suffering from HD distress, consider getting a video processor. Whether it’s a projector, LCD or plasma, DVDO’s line of iScan processors will produce a clearer, more life-like picture for cable, satellite, DVD players and nearly all other video components.

Why more plasma TV brands, you may ask? Well, plasma is hot and Klegg Electronics, a well-established brand in Europe, has decide to come to the US. Their models are aimed at the high-end, custom install market and, according to Klegg, built to a higher standard.

All plasma TVs use plasma glass panels that come from only a few giant factories. The big guys produce most of the glass: Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Hitachi, etc. The differences are in style, features, and, most importantly: electronics and video processing.

Klegg’s plasma HDTV’s are engineered with the high quality glass and include ATSC/NTSC TV tuners for over-air high definition reception with both HDMI and component compatibility. The DVI is also on the inputs on the TVs. Discrete IR codes for universal remote programming and discrete RS-232C codes make Klegg plasmas perfect for custom and commercial installation applications. Klegg’s signature aluminum bezels and chassis provide ample heat dissipation to keep LCD panels cooler while providing a durable, luxurious look. Read more

I’m talking about God, the devil, Heaven, Hell. Do you understand… -- Jack Nicholson, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

If it weren’t for the retailers and manufacturers we would have sworn the games had been cancelled.

How could we have underestimated the draw? Let’s look beyond “conventional” wisdom… Read more

Sometimes the stars are in perfect alignment. Sometimes it’s just dumb luck.

After a lot of work and help, we had turned our home office computer into a home entertainment system complete with a NAS and wireless network. Everyone had their choice of music in their rooms. Everyone could go on line and the kids had developed a great list of parent approved IPTV shows.

We were now ready to update our huge projection TV to a sleek 42-inch flat screen complete with brilliant images and surround sound. Our choice was an eye-popping screen that looked great in the showroom. For some reason the viewing seemed a lot different when it was installed in our family room. Read more

If you are like many consumers who are in the market for a new television, you've probably dreamed about making it a plasma or LCD flat screen HDTV.

Maybe you spent some time looking over the Sunday circulars from Best Buy, Circuit City, and other major retailers. Perhaps you spent some time on the Internet, shopping around for the best price. You may even have read a few product reviews here and there.

It's also probable that, like your fellow shoppers, you aren't quite sure exactly what the difference is between LCD and plasma. Sure, they're both flat.
