So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Samsung LN52B750 LCD HDTV - What is 1080p?

By Phil Edgar

The recently released Samsung LN52B750 52 inch 1080p LCD HDTV has been leaving stores in record breaking fashion. This has come to no surprise to me as it's set higher standards for the term HDTV which has left competition lagging behind.

Most features of the Samsung LN52B750 are pretty self explanatory, although the term 1080p isn't a familiar term with most HDTV shoppers.

1080p means 1080 "progressive scans". A progressive scan is a vertical line of resolution on your TV screen. 1080p is now the highest screen quality available to buy since 720p.

The more progressive scans a television has, the more pixels the screen will have, and the better quality it's images will be. A good example for me to use to explain all about this would be mobile phone cameras. If you were to compare a mobile phone's images with images of a top of the line digital camera, the quality of the images of the digital camera would be far more sharper. The reason for this is because its images have more pixels and the same principal goes for TVs.

Try to imagine your TV screen as a grid of hundreds of thousands of tiny little squares on it. Each square of this grid is called a pixel and each pixel can only be one color at any one time.

If you replaced this grid with one with many more, smaller squares or "pixels", then the images of your HDTV would be much clearer and sharper from then on. This is because the smaller each pixel is, the more detail can be shown on screen.

Let's assume you're watching a 1080p HDTV with typical 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. Your TV will have'20 lines of horizontal resolution and 1080 lines of vertical resolution. Now, that means that you'll be getting'20 x 1080 pixels making up your images. That's 2,073,600 pixels - and crystal clear images.

So in conclusion, the more progressive scans your HDTV has, the more pixels it will have, and the more pixels it has, the clearer and sharper the images will be. 1080p is the pinnacle of HDTV technology and the sharpest picture quality money can possibly buy.

I bought my own Samsung LN52B750 52 inch 1080p LCD HDTV a few weeks ago, and I have to say that 52 inches of razor sharp images is probably the best money I've ever spent!
