What is High Definition TV?
The High Definition Advantage
The first thing you need to know about High Definition TV is that is has a 16:9 aspect ratio, capable of delivering the same high quality you see in a movie theatre, making High definition the best picture available on a television screen. The other big selling point is the resolution. HD comes in three different resolutions: 720p, 1080i and 1080p for picture perfect clarity.
What does High Definition Deliver?
To understand what the advantages of High Definition is you need to know a little about how TV works. The images that appear are on your screen are made up of horizontal lines that are constantly being refreshed or scanned. There are normally two types of scanning. These are interlaced(i) and progressive(p).
The higher the line count and scanning rate, the better the image will be.

Does it matter if the resolution is interlaced or progressive?
The type of scan is arguable considering the amount of lines for each HD format. Progressive scan is a better type of scan because it doubles the amount of times the TV displays the image per one second in comparison to interlaced. As mentioned, HDTV comes in 720p, 1080i and 1080p resolutions, however, the difference between 720p and 1080i is so minimal that most people could not detect it. While technically 1080p is better than 720p and 1080i, very few programs are made in this resolution so it really isn’t a critical factor at this moment in time.
Live the High (definition) Life
The major benefit of HD is that it will enhance your viewing experience, by enabling you to watch incredible detail such as the dimples on a golf ball or the bark on trees appearing in the background of a movie or sports programme. HDTV offers a smoother more natural look giving you the impression that rather than just looking at a television screen, you are actually looking through a window to the world.
Benefits of High Definition TV
There are many benefits to haveing High Definition Television. Digital superiority, amazing picture details, progressive scanning, digital audio, no more 'ghost' images and of course a wide viewing area.
Better Picture Quality
The most notable benefit of HDTV is the dramatically improved picture quality. The usual resolution a normal TV can display is 525 scan lines with 480 actually being visible. The usual TV can display a resolution of about 210,000 pixels per image. High Definition TV's can go all the way up to 1920 (horizontal) x 1080 (vertical) pixels, with a total of 2,073,600 pixels per image. That is ten times the resolution and picture quality of usual TV.
Better Sound Quality
HDTV's digital audio sounds better than a standard television's analogue sound, just like digital CDs are superior to analogue radio. All HDTV programs use Dolby Digital sound, which is also used on DVDs. This format is used to transmit two to six channels of audio depending on the program. With these soundtracks driving 6 speakers, Dolby Digital creates a home theatre experience rivaling the best cinema sound.

Choosing High Definition TV
So it's time to determine which TV is right for your needs. There are few key questions to answer first before you decide on which HDTV to purchase.The
The most important decision when buying a TV is where you will put it in your house. There are a lot of models to choose from, but not all of them are right for your particular situation. There are two key factors that go into deciding what TV is right for your needs.
What is the Right Size?
What type of Screen should I buy?
Another important factor in purchasing a HDTV is of course your budget. When determining how much you wish to spend consider the following before making your decision:
How often is your current television on at home?
Most Australians have their set on for more than 6 hours a day, every day of the year. It is the primary source of entertainment in our homes; you will use this more often and with greater enjoyment than almost any other product you own with the exception of your bed. Bearing this in mind make sure that you budget accordingly.
Is this replacing your main TV or is it a secondary set?
If your new TV will be the one that is used most often, then it’s worth spending a bit more on it. If it is a secondary set, say for the bedroom or kitchen, while you may not need to spring for a larger picture, you might want to invest in different design and mounting options.
See it for yourself
No matter what set you think is right, it is critical that you look at the set before purchasing. Reviews and other people’s opinions are fine, but you are the one who has to live with the TV. Make sure that it is up to your standards.
