It worked great for about a month and then it stopped picking up the VHF channels. It is a UHF antenna, but the local VHF channels had 100% signal strength when it was new. Now they have 0% signal strength.

What You Should Know
ATSC - Means 2009 Digital TV Ready
Buy with confidence that ATSC TVs are designed for the future!

The ATSC Standard for Digital Television (DTV) encompasses a number of Standards, Practices, and Guidelines for Digital Television. What it means for today's television consumer is that ATSC TVs are ready for the future!  They comply with the requirements for the transition to Digital TV sets and all digital transmission to occur by February 17th, 2009.  ATSC Digital Ready TVs have digital tuners already.  TVs and related Tuner products that are not ATSC will require a separate digital tuner after the transition date.

How To Pick Your Best TV Size? How Do You Watch TV?
Does your family gather together on movie nights?   Are you a lone sports fan who really gets into your favorite game, or has the whole neighborhood over?  Do you have an intimate TV room, or a huge home theater?  Do you watch in the bedroom, or the living room?

The size of the TV that's best for you and your family depends on how you like to spend your time and the size of your room.

  • FAMILY ROOMS
    For family rooms and other spaces with high TV use, 37 inch and larger are the most popular choices.  In large rooms, the largest size possible is usually best.
  • BEDROOMS
    For bedrooms, offices and other medium-sized spaces, look in the 26 to 37 inch size range.
  • KITCHENS & SMALL ROOMS
    For kitchens and smaller rooms where you are closer to the TV, consider a 15 to 19 inch screen.

How To Pick Your Best TV Type?
Several important factors determine the quality of your HDTV picture.  So how do you find a picture you like?
  • TV TECHNOLOGY
    As you probably already know, there are several TV technologies available.  LCD televisions are thin and lightweight with a high-quality picture, even in brightly lit rooms.  Plasma screens are heavier than LCDs but may deliver a slightly picture in dark rooms with more intense colors.  DLP TVs offer brilliant screens, but are thicker than LCDs or Plasma.
  • RESOLUTION
    Think about TV resolution as the number of pixels contained in one "frame" of a television show or movie.  More pixels in each frame will give you better picture detail.  720P and 1080P are the two most common resolution standards for HDTV now.  With about 1 million pixels in each frame, 720P provides a vivid, high definition picture. 1080P offers the highest level of HDTV quality with over 2 million pixels in each frame, creating even greater picture details.  While broadcast is mostly limited to 720P, 1080P is the standard for high definition disc players like Blu-Ray.
  • CONTRAST RATIO
    Contrast ratio is a number that measures the difference in light intensity between the brightest white and the darkest black on the screen.  In general the higher the contrast ratio number, the better the image quality.  Most times, you will find Dynamic Contrast Ratio specified, but be sure you are comparing the same type of contrast ratio.
  • CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT
    Another way to improve contrast ratio is with contrast enhancement technology. Most of the time, this uses back lighting to improve apparent contrast.  This is especially helpful in dark rooms, as it helps your eyes adjust to the best light levels.  This dynamically improves contrast, resulting in deep blacks in darker scenes without losing fine details in shadows and other dark areas of the picture.
  • BIT COLOR
    Another important contributor to picture quality is what is called "bit depth".  This is the size of the number that is used to assign colors on the screen.  The higher the number, the more displayable colors will appear (see the image below).  Of course this is only true if both the display processor and the panel support that number of bits!


More Bits = More Colors

What Is High Definition And How Is It Different From Standard Definition?
High Definition or "HD" is a technological leap forward from standard definition, with up to 6x the picture resolution, so that what you see is sharper and more realistic.  Regular TVs and the TV channels you watch at home are typically in standard definition (unless you watch HD channels).  DVD are also in standard definition.  Standard definition (480i & 480p) is lower quality than high definition.  Many older TV sets are standard def, and can only show standard def content (programming).  Many new TVs are called High Definition TVs (HDTV).  They are capable of showing high def content in: 720p, 1080i, and 1080p, all high definition formats, but 1080p provides the highest picture quality of them all.

How To Protect Your HDTV And Make It All Work!
You've bought your ideal television or home theater, but have you considered how you will protect it, or make it all work together?  It's not as complex as it might seem, but it is important to consider, since devices may work differently, and have incompatible modes.  Plus after investing in your hardware, bad things can happen to damage them.
  • MOST IMPORTANT: SURGE PROTECTION
    Power Protection For Your HDTV & Home TheaterIf you have a computer, you know all about surge suppressors and battery back-up UPS devices.  But do you have a UPS for your HDTV and Home Theater system?  HDTVs and Home Theater systems are just as susceptible to surge and power damage as computers, so it is critical you add a very good surge suppressor or UPS to your setup at once! Plus if you have a UPS, you'll be able to watch TV or listen to music if the power goes off! (for as long as the battery lasts of course!)

    Click Here for Power Protection products.

     
  • CONTROLLING IT ALL: ADVANCED REMOTE CONTROLS
    Advanced Remote Controls For Your HDTV & Home TheaterAlmost every device you have came with a remote control, some even are called Universal Remote Controls.  But every device, HDTV, or Home Theater component has special features and functions, not supported by the generic Universal Remotes, especially if you want "One Button" control of several devices at once.  For these you need Advanced Remote Controls, that not only control everything, but reduce it all down to One Button tasks that even a Cave Man could operate! 

    Click Here for Advanced Remote Controls.

     
  • GOT HELP? GET AN INSTALLATION & SETUP SERVICE
    Expert Certified Installation & Setup Help!With some of today's HDTV and Home Theater systems, you may want to consider getting expert help from certified technicians that can quickly install your HDTV on your wall, hide the cables and wires, balance the display settings and the 7.1 surround sound, for the maximum in sound and picture quality.  You can still tell your friends and family that you did it, it will just be our secret!

About HDTV Viewing Angles
The Viewing Angle of any TV is an important specification.  The wider the viewing angle, the more enjoyable your experience.  Viewing angles above 150° means you can view your TV from a reasonable range - from the front and off to the sides.  However, viewing angles above 170° are best!  Many of today's Plasma and LCD HDTVs offer viewing angles of 178°, and their images do not suffer from degradation at very high viewing angles.   LCD TVs were originally designed for a one user experience, as a computer monitor, but the technology has kept pace with the demands for ever increasing viewing angles, and most offer excellent viewing experiences.  Between LCD and Plasma; Plasma TVs have the advantage, but by a small margin.

Viewing angles are not an issue with projectors because the light source is coming from in front of the screen, and not from behind. However, the surface on which you project (screen or wall surface) may have a slight impact on viewing angles, so it is important to choose the best screen possible.
