The original Aquos is the Sharp-LC32GD4U, is a 32 inch TV, which is known to produce the best black rendering among all brands.

| Article Title :: LCD TV Wall Mounts |

| LCD TVs provide high resolution images that can be seen from almost all angles. Even overhead TVs can provide very good picture quality. This has made it possible for LCD TVs to be mounted on walls, or even ceilings.

These are ideally made of metal. Ordinary mounts allow the TV to be fixed on the wall.

| LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. Originally designed for electronic display devices, now this technology is widely used to manufacture high-resolution televisions. Liquid crystal televisions work on Thin Film Transistor (TFT) technology. Their screen consists of a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between two transparent layers. A bulb placed behind the screen illuminates the TFT panel. Upon receiving the data, the liquid crystals align themselves in various degrees. The alignment of the crystals blocks unwanted light and only required light gets transmitted. The degree of alignment decides what color and contrast will be filtered through the panel.When LCD TVs were first intro (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Plasma vs LCD TVs |
| |
| For a layman, there seems to be no difference between a plasma and LCD TV. Both provide high-resolution, high-contrast images and both are flat, sleek and can be mounted on a wall. The difference lies in the technology that drives them.Plasma TVs work with inert gases like xenon or neon, which are excited by electric pulses from specialized cells called pixels. This makes the gases glow. These glowing gases, in turn, produce the correct blend of red, blue and green light on the pixels. The pixels are illuminated by a fluorescent light bulb, which is driven by semiconductor software on the motherboard.LCDs are actually thin film transistors (TFT), which contain liquid filled (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Future of TV - How You'll Be Watching HDTV |
| |
| It used to be oh so simple. Everybody watched TV the same way; on a TV with big picture tube. As has been common throughout human existence, there were those who were dissatisfied and wanted something better. The tube grew in size, then changed to, Oh My God! Color! After the transition to color, the size of the pictures steadily increased, but still, people wanted more. Behold, the Advent Video Beam 1000 of 1972. This was the first commercially available projection TV. You remember those things, with the big, silver, curved screen and the woodgrain cabinet. The Advent gave people a taste of the big screen TV and we've never looked back.Fast forward 20 years or so. Big screen TVs a (read full article) |

| Article Title :: 1080p - The Future is Now! |
| |
| First, we all watched NTSC video at 480i, and we liked it, because we knew no better. Then some intrepid(and well off) home theater enthusiasts were lucky enough to enjoy 480p, thanks to the Faroudja LD-100 line doubler or Runco IDTV set ups. Because the Faroudja units cost $20,000.00 in the early ‘90’s, and only worked with data or graphics grade projectors, they were not exactly mass market. As technology improved, prices decreased, and more people could enjoy progressive scan video in their home theaters.Fast forward 15 years or so. Now you can get a DVD player with Faroudja progressive scan technology on a chip for under $200.00. Just about every TV and projector you can bu (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Purchasing a Big Screen Television |
| |
| Like most other men I enjoy watching a big screen television. In my opinion the bigger the better. But there are so many choices when it comes to purchasing a big screen television it’s easy to get confused. There are three main types of big screen televisions. Plasma, LCD and Rear Projection. Let’s go through the pro’s and con’s of the three.The first is Plasma televisions. These televisions have been praised for their clear picture and thin frame. I’ve found these televisions to deliver a high quality picture. They are so slim they can be hung on the wall like a picture frame saving a lot of space in the lounge room. The downside is they don’t have a very lon (read full article) |

| DVD players have been around for a long time now and have become quite cheap to purchase. Even though they all play the same DVD’s there are several features some DVD players have.Most DVD players can play music. This is important if you don’t have a stereo at home. It’s also great if you have music backed up to DVD’s as you can choose from a huge selection of songs as DVD’s have a much greater capacity than CD’s.An important thing to look for in a DVD player is if it plays different formats of video. For example some DVD players play DivX and windows media files making the DVD player a lot more functional in terms of compatibility.Now to the recording (read full article) |

| Although both the devices display a big picture in a thin case, there are many notable differences between the two.The plasma television sets are larger than the LCD ‘s and measure about 42 inches. The size of the LCD is approximately 37 inches. But a 42-inch LCD TV would cost $1000 more than the plasma television set. The LCD TV’s weigh lighter compared to the plasma set. The plasma television sets are bulky and therefore they constantly require installation. They must be well structured in order to prevent overheating due to constant usage by a means of proper ventilation.The plasma televisions exhibit a contrast background and therefore are well appropriate for watchi (read full article) |
