Most people who have not yet forked out a heftysum of money for an HDTV yet have no idea how much of a better picturethey will receive when they finally do make that inevitable purchase.The main reason why HDTV contains a much superior image is because ofthe many more lines of resolution that HDTV disperses to its screen.The cathode tube TV, on the other hand, only has analog signals todisperse it's much more inferior video signal to its glass screen.

It appears as though LCD will be the main technology behind most HDTV'sas it now stands because plasma screens are more expensive tomanufacture and consumers don't like the glare that emanates from theseTV screens under the harsh lighting conditions of most stores that haveLCD and plasma TV screens standing side by side. Another advantage ofhaving an HDTV in your living room over the regular cathode TV screenis the fact that after the digital conversion this country will begoing through in Summer 2009, even stations that are not broadcast inHD will look very stellar indeed, but only if you own a plasma or LCDHDTV.

Another element to consider is the fact that Sony has now won the warover which high-definition DVD format will be embraced by bothHollywood studios and the basic consumer for the foreseeable future.Sony developed a DVD format called Blue Ray DVDthat essentially upgrades all movies embedded on their Blu Ray discs to1080i resolutions, the best image possible for the average HDTV screen.

This break-through in technology means that anyone with an HDTV can nowwatch their favorite movies in true high-definition anytime they wantto if they purchase a Blu Ray DVD player, and as long as their favoritemovie is formatted for Blu Ray. If you have not yet done so, buying anHDTV will enhance your home entertainment viewing experience like noother component ever made.
