Understanding HD
High Definition is the new standard in image quality.
“HD” as it is known is the resolution that all future
tv broadcasts and video content will be delivered in. HD can be
720p/1080i or 1080p. The “i” stands for interlaced, meaning the image is produced with two passes, odd then even. The “p” stands for progressive, achieving the image in one pass. What’s the difference? Progressive makes for a smoother, cleaner image, very good for motion and sports viewing.
Television HD broadcasts are transmitted at 720p/1080i. Sony's Blu-Ray DVD delivers the highest, 1080p resolution. Older DVDs will upconvert but only to 702p/1080i.
How we can help
We will work will you to design a HD set-up that fits your needs and budget. The best resolution option depends upon the type and size television you may be considering. We'll make recommendations on whether a LCD, plasma, or projector is best, and what size picture will make the best fit for your system goals.
We can install and calibrate your HD set-up for optimum color and the most accurate picture. We can advise you on the best available packages and programming for your HDTV system. HD content is available from your local cable companies, satellite TV, over-the-air, and from some of the telecomm companies.
