Know All the Facts about 1080p LCD HDTV

1080p LCD HDTV
In this article, you can find a discussion about some of the advantages of a 1080p LCD HDTV over other types of TV.
 
 
In some instances, the sophisticated and high technology is generally above the common understanding of the consumer.   It is quite tough for one to understand why a 46-inch 1080p LCD HDTV of the same brand is $400 more costly than the 46-inch LCD HDTV 720p flat screen which he has at home.   Though both the televisions are of the same size and apparently seem the same, the picture quality differs a lot.   
 
The LCD or Liquid Crystal Display method was created in 1960 where the technology of light-bending capacity of rod-shaped molecules in crystal was used.  The LCDs are very common these days and the technology is still very much in use.  Today, the LCD technology is applied in computer monitors.   Most flat screen TV nowadays uses the technology where you can now have the pleasure of viewing crystal clear picture on the monitor.

The HDTV or High Definition Television is the highest form of digital TV at present.  Watching anything on HDTV may remind you of watching movie in a movie hall with 16:9 aspect ratio.    The resolutions available are 720p, 1080i and 1080p for the HDTV.

The term 1080p is just indicative of the number of lines displayed and how they are displayed.   The more number of lines the TV has the sharper and better picture it will display.   The TV sets of yesteryears had a standard of 480 lines.   The more the lines the better will be the resolution.   The image is created on the TV by the ‘i’ and ‘p’ following the lines.   These are the short forms of progressive and the interlaced terms.   The more preferred scan is the progressive scan as it processes the image much faster than the interlaced scan.

Generally the 1080p LCD HDTV is more expensive than the 720p.   Few people think that the difference in the picture quality is so little that buying the 720p set is a more wise decision.

The LCD TV has very low power consumption and emits less heat too than the plasma.   The plasma TV has a good viewing in low light but the 1080p LCD HDTV has better picture quality in ambient light.

8000 BTU Air Conditioner



We know that anything bigger is better but this is not applicable in the case of air conditioners. For example an 8000 BTU air conditioner is no match for a 200 sq ft room and it will be a complete waste of energy. Likewise, this air conditioner is not fit to cover a room of about 450 sq ft or more. 

Actually when you are taking a decision of buying a portable air conditioner for your room you have to take into consideration many points.  The BTU level or the British Thermal Unit is a simple unit of energy which is one of the important factors but the customers actually ignore.  It is proven that the higher the BTU the more powerful will be the AC. In other words the BTU tells us the ACs power as well as its cooling capacity.

Generally, portable air conditioners have a BTU of 5,000 and some have BTUs of up to 30,000 high. Since you always keep all the other appliances at your home in accordance with your need, in the same way, try to have the cooling unit according to your needs also.

An area measuring 300 to 350 sq ft needs an 8000 BTU air conditioner which is the perfect proportion. There are so many kinds of good-looking and functional air conditioning units these days which easily blends with the various types of lifestyle of different people. If we take for example the AF8000E Portable AC we will see that it has a cooling capacity of 8000 BTUs which excellently covers 300 square feet.

Among some of the portable air conditioners with an energy star rated cooling system is the Frigidaire 8000 Btu Air Conditioner which is quite popular. Even during the scorching heat of the summer this will keep your room cool effectively using very little energy. The price of the air conditioner is reasonably ranged at $209 to $289 and also it comes with a remote control.

Avoid direct sunlight upon the unit. If your room gets too much sunlight then get a more powerful unit.

Try to keep your room insulated to get the maximum benefit. Check that the air does not escape from the room through small gaps.  You may wonder why your room is not cool enough though you have a powerful unit and this is due to the fact that your room is not air tight.
