Title: Comparative HDTV Display Technologies: Is Your HDTV Is Too Small? — How to overcome WAF* in right-sizing your next HDTV — (*Wife Acceptance Factor)
Abstract: After a half-century reign, the CRT has been overthrown as a direct view or rear projection display in a market now dominated by pixel-based varieties. How does the latest in CRT technology compare with LCD, plasma, PDP, DLP, HTPS, and LCOS? We will review their relative strengths and weakness as large-screen HD displays with respect to size, image quality and pricing. In addition, we will examine more-detailed components of image quality, including potential for future improvement. Furthermore, what does resolution mean with respect to optimum image size in the living room? And finally, we will discuss how image “information content” versus “resolution” helps explain why some displays are perceived as better than others.
