Below is a link to an article titled, "HDTV resolution explained", about how HDTV works, and in many cases the resolution of HDTV is not as important as you may think.
#------------------------------------------------------ *Excerpt: How important is resolution?* Not as important as you might think. According to the Imaging Science Foundation, a group that consults for home-theater maufacturers and trains professional video calibrators, the most important aspect of picture quality is contrast ration, the second most important is color saturation, and the third is color accuracy. Resolution comes in a distant fourth, despite being easily the most-talked-about HDTV spec today. In other words, once you get to high-definition, most people are perfectly satisfied with the sharpness of the picture. All other things being equal--namely contrast and color--HDTV looks more or less spectacular on just about any high-def television regardless of its size or the HDTV signal's resolution itself. The leap from normal TV to HDTV is so big that additional leaps in resolution--from high-def to higher-def, let's say--are tiny by comparison. Nonetheless the HDTV landscape is littered with resolution discussions, in regard to both sources and displays, so a little knowledge of how they interact is a good thing. http://www.cnet.com/4520-7874_1-5137915-1.html or http://tinyurl.com/ldjy6 #-------------------------------------------------- Regards, LelandJ Mike yearwood wrote: > Hi Michael > > > >> Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2008 08:54:49 -0800 (PST) >> From: Michael Madigan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> Subject: [NF] 37" LCD screen and computer slide show >> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" >> >> My real estate office client wants to put up a 36" LCD >> that will run a slide show from a computer with their >> listing photos and the text of properties they're >> selling. >> >> I'm assuming that I need an HD LCD TV with DVI imput, >> and a computer with DVI output. >> >> Are there HD TVs with VGA Imput? >> >> Is that all I need or am I missing something? >> > > Oooh.
