Laser Phosphor Display Screens Len Calderone for HomeToys

Dec 2012

 LPD walls are larger than the largest LCD screens, far brighter than projection screens, and far more detailed than LED displays. LPD displays have no bezels, allowing the image to extend to the edge of the glass, resulting in displays that can be lined up in stacks or rows to form a single image, as large as desired.

Divergence of Content and Display Technology Mark Anderson HomeToys.com

Feb 2012

 Current and emerging TV technologies have the capability to display a color gamut far beyond that available in consumer content.

OLED Televisions, Myth or Reality? Len Calderone

Oct 2011

 OLED is a “green” technology.  An OLED TV will not use any electricity when turned off, contrary to LCD, which has power to the backlight at all times.  When viewing action scenes, the images will not blur because of OLED’s faster response time. 

OLED TVs will look like a picture hanging on the wall since it is so thin, rather than sticking out because of a heavy duty wall mount.  In fact, you might be able to roll it up when it’s not in use and it can be stored out of sight, until the next viewing.  You can even roll it up and place it in a tube, and take it with you on vacation or a business trip.

 What is the difference between 1080p and 1080i displays? The difference is how the source conveys the information to the display. Interlaced: 1080i sources get transferred on the screen sequentially. The odd-numbered lines of resolution appear on your screen first, followed by the even-numbered lines all within 1/30 of a second. Progressive: 1080p sources get transferred with all lines of resolution simultaneously, which makes for a smoother, cleaner image, especially with sports and other motion-intensive content. The right technology for you is dependant on the content you watch. The majority of HD content via satellite and cable will be available in 720p & 1080i. Your Blu-ray or HD DVDs will be available in 1080p with the appropriate player.
