LCD TVs vs. Plasma TVs vs. Projectors
It will not be long before flat-panel TVs completely replace the tubes as the televisions of choice. A flat TV can be hung on your wall, above your mantle, or even on the ceiling. The two major types of flat-panel television technology you can currently choose from are the plasma and LCD. If you are currently in the market for one of these televisions, take a few moments to read about them as there some differences you should know about before making your decision.
Burn-in is by far one of the most debated issues when it comes to comparing plasma and LCD TVs. Plasma displays are certainly prone to burn-in. This occurs on the screen if an image is left for too long, resulting in a ghost of the image that is permanently burned on the screen. This is the reason that many people use screen savers on their PCs as this issue can happen on computer monitors as well. Some brands of plasma TVs are more prone than others for burn-in. Generally, all plasma screens are prone to suffer from burn-in, especially during their first 200 hours of use.
Fortunately, there have been some new improvements in plasma display technology that have extended the time it takes to burn in a plasma pixel cell. Using improved phosphor materials, and other anti burn-in technologies have greatly reduced the risk of burn-in. Also keeping the brightness and contrast levels closer to the low end of the scale will help reduce any potential burn-in risks. So if comparing plasma to LCD on this issue in particular, keep in mind that LCD TVs are not prone to screen burn-in at all.The lifespan is also a very important aspect of any new television you buy. The gases used in a plasma screen have a lifespan. These screens will eventually fade over time and usage. The newer plasma TV’s can last up to 60,000 hours, however there are many models out there that may only last up to 40,000 or less depending on when it was manufactured. LCD displays have an expected lifespan of 50,000 to 60,000 hours. For either LCD or plasma, their life expectancy is far greater than the CRT TV sets that typically lasted about 20,000 hours. In other words, both plasma and LCD technology make use of very stable and reliable display devices.
The picture quality of an LCD TV has suffered in the past from poor black levels, but the newest models have improved greatly in this area. The LCD TVs are not able to achieve a true black because there will always some light leaking through the pixels. The color saturation of an LCD is also generally inferior to plasma. This is also a result of the problem achieving a completely blacken, or turned off pixel.The viewing angle is another issue where the LCD falls short compared to plasma. On most LCD TVs, there can be some brightness and color shifting seen if you are watching from any angle besides the ‘sweet’ spot right in front of the TV. On the other hand, plasmas generally look equally good from any angle, even the very wide angles.An area where the LCD holds an advantage over plasma is with the power requirements. LCD televisions use a backlight to produce images and this requires much less power to operate than the plasma. The actual power requirements of an LCD display will depend mainly on the technology used for the backlight. However, LCD TVs generally use about 40 to 50 percent less power than plasma displays having the same screen size.
After looking at a few pros and cons of each of these technologies, there is still the big question of which one is really better. The answer of course depends more on your own personal preferences rather than there being a clear winner. LCD TVs may be a little bit better in some picture quality areas for its size. However, plasma TVs come in bigger sizes, so if you want to go big, you should be going for plasma. After reading reviews and checking the specs, you still need to see them in person to decide which one you like the best

SONY’S NEW D-SLR CAMERA . YOU WAN TO OWN ONE YRSELVES??
Sony is expanding its a (Alpha) digital SLR system with the introduction of the DSLR-A700 camera, which is aimed at photo enthusiasts or serious photo hobbyists.
The new model features advanced imaging technologies and ultra-responsive operation, as well as a lightweight, dust- and moisture-resistant, magnesium alloy construction common to enthusiast-class D-SLR cameras.
Like Sony’s mainstream DSLR-A100 model, the new A700 unit incorporates Super SteadyShot® Inside image stabilization in the camera body and is compatible with most Minolta Maxxum® mount lenses in addition to Sony lenses.
“Discerning photo enthusiasts will be impressed with the rugged construction and outstanding performance of the A700, said Phil Lubell, director of marketing for digital cameras at Sony Electronics. “We also expect that this new camera will re-define the post-capture experience with HDMI™ output for high-quality playback of images on high-definition televisions.”
Picture Quality
The camera’s new 12.2-megapixel Exmor™ CMOS sensor conducts analog-to-digital (A/D) signal conversion and dual noise reduction right on the sensor itself. Noise reduction is applied to analog signals before A/D conversion and the resulting digital signals are then subject to a second round of noise reduction.
According to Lubell, “These digital signals are virtually immune to external noise and interference.”
Clean, noise-free digital signals are then sent to the newly developed BIONZ™ processing engine. Lubell said this engine has been optimized to process data-rich picture information at high speeds, and to reduce picture noise in the RAW data stage before final image compression and encoding. The results are high-resolution, detailed images with rich tonal reproduction.
Extraordinary Responsiveness
The A700 camera is engineered to be fast and ultra-responsive so as to become “a virtual extension of your own senses,” Lubell said, “capturing fleeting moments as you see them.”
A newly developed, auto-focus system features 11 wide-area sensors, including a center dual cross sensor comprised of two horizontal and two vertical line sensors for exceptional AF precision. An F2.8 line sensor leverages the brightness of fast aperture lenses for even greater precision. Lubell said that extraordinary focusing speed has been realized through improved algorithms and a high-torque focusing drive motor.
The large, bright, viewfinder uses a precision-ground optical glass pentaprism and a high refractive index eyepiece lens to provide 0.9x viewfinder magnification and 95 percent frame coverage. Manual focusing is aided by an interchangeable spherical acute matte focusing screen.
The camera has a high-performance vertical traverse shutter with a maximum shutter speed of 1/8,000th of a second to freeze fast-moving action. A high-power coreless motor charges the shutter and mirror mechanism, allowing continuous shooting at up to five frames per second. In JPEG fine or standard mode, continuous shooting is limited only by the capacity of the media card (sold separately), while up to 18 frames can be captured in RAW.
Expanded Creativity
The new camera features fourteen creative styles, including night view, autumn leaves or vivid, which can be selected to enhance images. These effects can then be fine-tuned by customizing contrast, sharpness, zone matching and other parameters.
Sony’s Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) function has been updated on this model so users can choose the desired level of detail recovered in areas of shadow. The advanced mode offers the option of five levels of user selectable correction. Additionally, DRO bracketing creates three images from a single capture with three different levels of DRO.
There is an extensive array of customization options to personalize the camera to match shooting styles. The unit’s quick navigation interface can be accessed instantly with the four-way multi-selector, and selected parameters can be adjusted directly by control dials.
Up to 28 camera settings can be stored in one of three user memories for instant recall. The unit’s custom function button can be assigned to 15 frequently-accessed functions.
With the supplied remote capture application, the camera can be controlled from a compatible PC via USB without even touching the camera, and files can be stored on the computer instead of the media card.
High-Quality Pictures on an HDTV
The A700 model features an HDMI output for connection to HDTV sets, putting a high-resolution spin on the conventional photo slideshow.
When connected to a Sony BRAVIA® LCD HD television, photos are optimized for viewing with the new “PhotoTV HD” mode. This mode brings the look of actual printed photography to the television, reproducing high-quality digital photos by fine-tuning such image parameters as sharpness, gradation and color specifically for photographs.
The exceptional viewing experience of this camera also extends to viewing photos on its 3-inch LCD screen. The screen’s size and ultra-sharp resolution (921K) makes it possible to check focus and image quality with much greater accuracy.
