Does anyone use an HDTV or SDTV instead of a standard monitor? Any problems?
Any tips or suggestions?
Does anyone use a plasma display instead of an LCD or CRT?
How important is response time? A 2ms response time is probably very important
for certain games or videos that involve high speed action. How will a 5ms or
8ms response time affect picture quality or viewing experience if the fastest
action involved is watching an occasional YouTube video? How does 2, 5 and 8ms
response times compare to the response time time of say a 5 year old digital
flat panel monitor? Ditto for contrast ratios?
Contrast ratio (definition here: http://tinyurl.com/5f56el) sounds as if it
would make a significant difference in picture quality yet I have seen 700:1
TVs look as good as or better than 1500:1. That suggests other factors are at
play here. ?????
1080p means your HD picture consists of 1920 columns and 1080 rows of pixels
and all rows are drawn on each redraw. A 1080i picture would redraw the odd
and even rows in alternating redraws.
720p and 720i is the same except the pixels are 1280 columns and 720 rows.
Defintions here: http://tinyurl.com/4p6una and here: http://tinyurl.com/42phku
For reference: 480p is Enhanced Definition TV (EDTV) and 480i is Standard
Defintion TV (SDTV). Google "define:480p" and "define:480i" without the quotes
to get definitions.
At what size display will the 1080/720 difference become significant? 26" 37"
52"?
