Pixels

Shane,

I responded already on another email, but I was still looking for an old research I knew I kept in
my files, I thought you might want to take a look at this research paper about pixel size, it gets a
bit deeper into the subject but you might want to jump to the parts you feel more comfortable with:

Per the ATSC spec, does the "16:9 ratio" only apply to screen dimensions,
or does it apply to pixel dimensions as well (for applicable devices)? I
suspect I know the answer, but thought I would pose it for discussion
nonetheless.

And this is exactly where CEA screwed up by not making both the horizontal
and vertical lines part
of what they call HDTV. If they had said 1240 was the minimum than 768 or
720 would be fine. By
accepting 1024x768 the consumer is losing 15% of the resolution versus a
1240 x 720 set.

1024x768 is consistently being marketed as HD by vendors at this point.
I would not consider it HD. As a fixed pixel display, I think the
minimum for an "HD" label should be 1280x720 - the lowest resolution of
the HD formats. However, all the marketing departments out there seem
to disagree with me...

I received an email from PC connection regarding a 42" Plasma for sale
for
$1399. Its resolution was 1024 x 768

Is 1024 x 768 considered HD in todays market?

42" HD Plasma with built-in tuner

3G Technology

Available mid-June
The OP-42TN2 plasma television is a treat for the eyes whether it's on
or
off.



3G sought to define an image that would symbolize cutting edge
technology,
combined with top of the line features and quality. They have
accomplished
this with the OP-42TN2 plasma display. This 42" plasma TV provides a
cinema-feel for your home theater. View widescreen broadcasts and DVDs
the
way they were meant to be seen. The 3000:1 panel contrast ratio produces
deep blacks, brilliant whites and truly vivid colors.

With every scene, the picture is clear and vivid, capturing and
revealing
every detail, even in bright light. Plasma screens are impervious to
picture
distortion and negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when
placed
near lighting or sound systems.

With a plasma screen you get colors like you've never seen before,
extremely
wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and
easy
placement due to a plasma monitor's slim profile: the OP-42TN2 is a mere
3.54 inches deep, perfect for desk or wall mounting. It comes with a
stand,
speakers and tuner.
