| Glossary of Terms |

Play Media w/USB = This means you can play your videos, show your pictures or play music by plugging in a USB thumb drive to your TV. You can also plug in an MP3 player, or digital camera. LED = An LCD screen using an LED backlight. Uses less power and gives you a brighter picture with better contrast. LCD = Liquid Crystal Display, using a fluorescent backlight (not as good at LED) 720p = (1366×768) with 1 million pixels resolution (Standard broadcast HD) 1080p = (1920×1080) with 2 million pixels resolution (Maximum Blu-ray quality) Contrast = refers to dynamic contrast. Higher is better. More contrast allows more shadow details in the picture. 120Hz = 120 hertz anti blur technology. Eliminates blur on LCD TVs during high action sports and movies. 60Hz = Normal TV without anti blur technology. HDMI = HDMI inputs allow you to connect devices to your HDTV such as DVD and Blu-ray players and game consoles. LED HDTV = Instead of a conventional fluorescent backlight, these HDTVs use LED lights for backlighting. This dramatically improves picture contrast, colors, and overall picture. LED TVs also use much less electricity. Speakers (in watts) = This is the power of the speakers. Higher wattage speakers are better as they can project the sound louder. Response Time (ms) = how fast the screen can “paint” the screen. It is measured in milliseconds or (ms). Lower numbers are better. A lower response time is best for fast paced games, video, fast moving movies and sports. |
