HDTV

by Jimmy Johnson

I bought a new TV back in July because I love sport generally and the Olympics in particular. Now I knew I wanted something big screen so as to really enhance my Beijing experience but the choice to go just that bit further with HD was the best decision of all.

HDTV stands for “high definition television”, and it broadcasts its signals at a higher resolution than regular televisions. Not only that, but it broadcasts digitally. Get ready to feel like you’re at the movies. You will have a viewing ratio of 16:9. This means that the screen is 16 units wide and nine units high. With a television resolution of 1920 x 1080, you’ll feel like you are at the movies. Most television broadcasts are in high definition, so why not view them the way they were meant to be seen?

If you are watching your favorite sporting event, don’t you want to feel like you are in the stadium with the crowd? HDTV can give you that feeling, and the bigger your television set is, the more you will feel like you are there. The beauty of an HDTV set is that you will no longer have those pesky black bars that you normally see on a wide screen movie. How great would that be?

Here come the science bits; Thanks to the greater bandwidth the color definition on a HDTV will be more lifelike. Images will be between two and five times more detailed. The scanning lines are nearly invisible. Add to it ’surround sound’ stereo and your viewing experience is nearly complete. HDTV is mostly broadcast in surround sound. For the serious sports fan there is no real competition.

I know that a lot of so-called technological innovations are just so much hype, but I can swear from personal experience that HDTV is the biggest step forward since the advent of color. So good you could invite all your fellow sports fans around to watch the big game and charge them admission.
