What other factors affect the picture quality besides resolution?
There are many aspects of display technology that affect the final product in addition to resolution. Different displays – CRT, LCD, plasma, DLP – have contrasting color qualities and provide different viewing angles that make the room where you will set up your HDTV a factor . There are also different ways that the picture information is filtered and displayed in order to refine the on-screen images. We’ll be taking an in-depth look at these issues in future newsletters. In the meantime, the best way to assess what’s most important to you is to witness HDTV broadcasts in person. We recommend you visit a retail store in your neighborhood and examine these various technologies with your own eyes. Seeing is believing!
