Cool gadgets and gizmos news

On this Black Friday, many people were out to buy quality HDTV, not only this…there were many crazy discounts as well. However selecting the right HDTV for the right person was a big challenge. So here’s the GadgetsWorld advice on choosing the best HDTV.

Plasma v/s LCD
For the money, plasma tends to beat LCD from a pure picture standpoint. Blacks are usually better, contrast is better, motion resolution is better, while the older issues like burn-in aren’t really problems like they used to be. The flipside of plasma sets are that they’re more power hungry, and they’re not as bright.

LCD sets, on the other hand, are brighter, thinner, less power hungry, and straight out cheaper. If you’re going for a set that’s under 42 inches, LCD is probably where you wanna go. The best kind of LCD TVs are LED backlit models that typically deliver better color, better blacks and better contrast, though they’re pricey than the average LCD.

No Fake & Real 3DTV:
Want to buy a set knowing that it’ll have excellent performance without having to do a ton of poking and prodding? Buy a 3DTV. The thing about 3DTVs, says HD Guru’s Gary Merson is that in order to do 3D competently, they “have to do certain things really really well.” 3D sets are, generally speaking, the best performing sets in the product line. So even if you never intend to watch a single piece of 3D content, it’s worth considering a 3DTV.

Because the set’s delivering different images for the left eye and the right eye it has to be able to switch the image it’s displaying “very completely and very fast,” says Gary. The end result is a TV with better processing power and better performance.

The main issue to look out for in 3DTVs is cross talk. Basically, when the image for left eye shows up in the right eye, or vice versa, and you see ghost images. Depending on how much cross talk there is, you might even see two distinct images. And when it comes to no crosstalk, plasma sets beat the LCD competition. In fact, when it comes to 3D performance, plasma wins overall.

What’s 1080p?
The dirty secret about 1080p is that you don’t need it if you’re TV’s not big enough and you’re sitting too far back to see it. If a set’s under 40 inches, you don’t need 1080p. The Lechner distance, named for this guy, is the optimal viewing distance at which your eye can fully process all the detail offered by an HDTV’s resolution. It scales, based on how big your TV is. For example: average viewing distance in an American home is 9 feet from the set. In order to fully see all of the details 1080p offers at that distance, you’d need a 70-inch set. So if you’re sitting more than six feet away from your TV or just buying a smaller set, considering saving some cash by going 720p.

There are lots of other small things that you need to take care while buying HDTV, however these above mentioned are enough to go ahead to choose the best one. All the best for your future shopping. and warm welcome for your HDTV thoughts…
