Why Should You Purchase A Magnavox HDTV

Why purchase a new Magnavox HDTV?  Because in early 2009 all television networks will begin broadcasting in only high definition.  At the same time television manufacturers will be required to only build high definition TV’s.  The Magnavox has one of the clearest pictures on the market today.

The older analog type of television is not capable of displaying programming for HDTV.  Instead, people can only view programs that would come through on satellite, cable, or regular television.  On the other hand, with high definition, viewers can still view standard television programming, as well as HDTV signals and progressive scan DVD.  Because this is the wave of the future, almost all new television sets use this special programming to include Plasma and LCD high definition television.

On February 17, 2009 the US intends to terminate all full-power analog broadcasting (some smaller local stations have later deadlines), with both standard definition TV (SDTV) and HDTV being allowed.  This will require all new televisions to be manufactured with HDTV capability.  There are adapters that can be purchased to trasform the analog set to HDTV.

With LED HDTV, the resolution is the primary reason for the change.  The clarity is so incredible that people watching sporting events, concerts, movies, or virtually any show will be amazed at how incredible the picture becomes.  For example, the number of visible lines seen with standard programming is 480 but with a LCD high definition television, that number jumps to 1,080.

Most cities in the US with major network stations broadcast over the air in HD. To receive this signal an HD tuner is required.  The new Magnavox HDTV has an HD tuner built in. For HDTV televisions without a built in HD tuner, a separate set-top HD tuner box can be rented from a cable or satellite company or a Magnavox HD tuner box can be purchased.

While it is possible to see the lines that make up standard television pictures, HDTV lines are not at all noticeable. The fine-grained HD picture contains five times more information than does the standard television picture and is accompanied by multi-channel, CD quality sound. The difference in video and sound quality is dramatic.

Of course HDTV has outstanding resolution due to the frame or field rate.  When shopping for an HDTV look for the specified resolution rate. 24p means 24 progressive scan frames per second, and 50i means 25 interlaced frames per second consisting of 50 interlaced fields per second.

When shopping around for any type of HDTV as a new unit, it is important to learn all you can about this new type of programming and the clarity it provides.  As mentioned, the main televisions brands are joining in the race to offer the best HDTV and for the best price.  While there are some that have succeeded quite well, Magnavox HDTV is considered one of the best considerations.
