Random Thoughts - Plasma TV

Random Thoughts About Plasma TVs and Tv Stands

- Cantilever mounts provide the most flexibility for positioning your flat panel TV. These brackets allow you to swing your TV away from the wall on an articulating arm. This allows you to move your whole television to different left and right positions. In addition, cantilever mounts also tilt up-and-down, as well as pivot left and right. You can adjust the viewing angle of your TV to practically any desired position. You even have the ability to swing the TV around so that you can position the viewing angle so that it can be seen in two different, adjacent rooms. Very handy indeed.

- Weston Corner TV Hutch - I really like this cool little space efficient unit. It has a simple yet classic design that is as functional as it is attractive. This black TV stand has a satiny finish with architectural top moulding. This hutch will support most 42" flat screen TV's up to 100 lbs and fits nicely in the corner of your room to save space. It has an upper shelf and 2 faux-leather bins for convinient storage. This tall stand has been tested for tip safety.

- Fixed wall mounts are the most basic type mount. They merely allow you to attach your TV in a fixed position on your wall. Even though fixed wall mounts aren't as flexible as the other types, they may be in fact a perfect choice for your particular viewing room. Sometimes it's desirable to have your TV flat on the wall, much like a picture frame. It can be an attractive part of the decor. Fixed wall mounts are also ideal if you have very limited space in your room and you want your LCD or plasma TV to be out of the way as much as possible. Of course fixed flat screen wall mounts are usually the cheapest option.

- If mounting the plasma TV on the wall isn't an option, try commissioning a carpenter to create a custom made cabinet. This may be a better option as it would allow for built in compartments for cords, DVDs, VHS tapes, DVD player storage, and more. Inside the cabinet, a custom mount could be created for the plasma TV. Add to this some remote control doors on the cabinet and one could have oneself a pretty Godfather-esque setup.

- Shoppers can expect to see discs and players with competing formats, and they'll need to consider what they're getting for their money. For instance, they should ask questions about the breadth of games, movies and other products available, so they don't get stuck with a format with no future. Blu-ray Disc, for example, is partnering with major movie studios, music publishers and game developers, and plans to deliver the industry's broadest range of home entertainment content. In addition, the players will play all of your existing standard-definition DVDs.

- There are four major components to the DLP system: the DMD chip, which controls the mirrors; the color wheel; the light source and the optics.In order to produce the picture, the light from the lamp passes through the color wheel filter and into the DMD chip, which then switches its mirrors on or off according to the color which is reflecting off of them.

- Plasma TVs have recently been introduced to the market. They are extremely flat television panels which make them very easy to mount on either a wall, in a cabinet or on other specially designed furniture. Plasma TVs are known for their wonderful quality and almost all of them come already equipped with an HDTV (high definition television) tuner which will allow you to watch all the HDTV channels that have been so widely discussed lately. The quality is amazingly realistic.

- Plasma TV stands come in wide variety of styles and can really add an additional degree of drama to a room. Choose from wood or metal in different finishes and then mix it up with shelving choices in different materials than the base. An all glass TV stand is a great way to give the illusion of more space in smaller rooms and you can select from clear, frosted or beveled. These stands are also very sturdy and what's nice about the open style of these types of TV stands is that all of your components are easily accessible. Many also include a swivel turntable so you can easily adjust your TV for different viewers around the room.

- Plasma TVs have a higher resolution than other conventional display devices which means that they can display the high definition signals of HDTV and DTV. Also, plasma TVs are compatible with the computer signals SVGA, VGA, and XGA.
