You tune in to any of the episodes and you are bombarded with a multitude of colors. The bright colors draw you to the screen and it keeps the attention of both young and old.

Dora is a spanish girl who is always kind spirited and does not let obstacles hold her back. Her and her best friend Boots are always looking to go on cool adventures during the show.

Each one of us uses our imagination to paint a perfect picture or reenact a cool scene. If you do not use your imagination you surely have such dreams that use your imagination. Dora is like this also, but she makes her imaginations come true.

Green Screen Hollywood - Steps to Building

By Phil Guye

Indie filmmakers don't have a need to compromise the standard of their art by having sloppy-looking shots all due to the shortage of green screen or "Chroma Key" technology. Hiring a studio that houses one is very pricey and since independent filmmakers are on alittle humble small budget and always on a busy schedule, it could be nice if Chroma Key technology screens could be available and prepared anytime, anywhere. Fortunately , cartable Chroma Key screens can be made. There is not a need to shell out money only to have green screen Hollywood technology. Making a green screen that's's excellent for travel and cost cutting is as straightforward as one, two, and 3.

First, prepare all of the needed materials for the green screen. This consists of two PVC pipes, pipe connectors, clamps, end caps, and naturally, green fabric or green paint. Also make efforts to have safety necessities,eg eye spectacles. 2nd, make attempts to cut two PVC pipes. They need to be the perfect height for the green screen. Do not forget to cut the PVC pipes correctly ; there should be no pointed edges or cracks. Untidy cutting of the PVC pipes might decrease the sturdiness of the final product. Use caution when cutting the pipe--- debris might get into your eyes, so it's best to wear eyeglasses while building the cartable screen.

3rd, cut every one of the pipes in half and place a pipe connector in the middle of every one. Having the connectors will make the green screen easy to carry around. Again, always make efforts to be safe when cutting the pipes. 4th, in order to have movable green screen Hollywood technology, take another pipe and cut them into to equal quantities. They should be approximately 4 to six inches shorter than the particular width of the green fabric. To explain, a fabric with a 50 in. width must have pipes that are 44 or 46 inches.

fifth, build a stand for the transportable green screen. Cut the last PVC pipe into four parts. They should all have equivalent lengths. Connect two pieces of the PVC pipe with a pipe connector. Repeat this step for the remaining pipes. Make efforts to put end caps at the end of all the PVC pipes. 6th, cut two six-inch parts from the leftover PVC pipe and use them as spacers at the base of the finished frame. Affix it to the pipe connector.

7th, assemble the parts. Use glue to secure the pipe connectors to one section of the PVC pipe so that they'll be prepared for travel. Make efforts to apply glue properly so no parts will fall off during transit. Ultimately, get the clamps and attach the green fabric to the top sides of the frame. Put the fabric properly so it will fall nicely. There should not be any creases when the fabric hangs. Now, even the indie filmmaker can use green screen Hollywood technology. A cartable Chroma Key screen is another tool that will help a low budget flick gets higher quality. - 29967

Are Loud Motorcycle Pipes Really That Big Of A Problem In The World?

By L.J. James

I have been reading and hearing allot lately about people who are saying that loud Motorcycle Pipes are a major problem in the world. These groups are trying to get those in Government to pass all sorts of new inspection laws for Motorcycle Pipes.

Seeing as Motorcycles make up such a small percentage of the Traffic on the road I would say this problem is very minimal at best. ( I wonder how many cars with bad mufflers are heard that many think are Motorcycles)

These people complain saying Motorcycle Riders like loud pipes because they are juvenile and want to show off and say Hey look at me and draw attention to themselves.

The reason many Bikers like loud pipes is not to say look at me, its to say look out for Me! Many Car drivers these days are talking on the phone, texting , putting on make up , eating , playing loud music , watching Dvds and just not paying attention to the road in front of them. If your in a car an you get hit ,You may get a dent in your car, We could Die! (Nothing enjoyable in life is completely safe)

These groups against loud pipes know gathering citizens together to complain is very easy , if they ask people while they are sitting around all summer long bored "Have you ever heard a Loud Motorcycle Go By?" they are going to say yes they Have!" These groups are then going to talk about how annoying these Motorcycles are and convince these bored people how much better their lives would be if these Motorcycles where gone! These bored people are going to jump right on board!

But now ask these same people when was the last time you heard a loud Motorcycle go by? They will probably hard pressed to find an answer! Was it Weeks ago? Months ago? was it Two years ago?

There are already laws on the books in every state that say a Motorcycles pipes can only be so loud! We do not need new laws on the books that most officers will do nothing about while others will abuse !

This Country spends too much time whining about things! Lets stop and think about Motorcycles. Motorcycles prevent traffic, They prevent wear and tear on the roads, They are great for saving Fuel. They are also a great relaxer, Those who Ride Motorcycles are a lot less stressed!

If people stopped complaining about Motorcycles and went and rode a Motorcycle they might not be so bored with their lives and they would have something better to do with their time!!!

Those who Ride enjoy Life a lot More, This is like therapy and religion all rolled up into one for us! Please do not bring the stress and problems of your dull boring lives into our world !

If you are that board and are looking for something to do with your life email me and I will help you find something better to do with your time. Maybe we can find something you can do that could actually help make the world a better place!!!

Cheap Plasma TV - Read This First Before You Buy

By Armadeus Cornelius

Are unbranded cheap televisions are a false economy?

Purchasing a TV or any consumer electronic item is similar to purchasing a car. You have to think about not only the purchase cost but in addition the ongoing repair costs and its life expectancy.

Main brand TVs from manufacturers such as Pioneer, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, Hitachi, LG, Sharp ,JVC and Hitachi always retail for more than inferior brands of televisions with unfamiliar brand badges on them. The unbranded cheap TVs from unknown manufacturers give the impression of being good value for money when compared to the known brands of televisions. The styling and features may make justifying the difference difficult.

Why are the known brands of TVs more expensive?

It is easy to think that you are paying a premium for the badge on the branded models of TVs, whilst this is to a certain extent true there are other differences that justify the additional cost of the branded TVs.

One clear reason for the known brands being more pricey is that they have UK offices, warehouses and staff unlike the cheaper brand televisions that are imported directly into the UK by importers from in China and Eastern Europe and are delivered straight to the retailer.

The manufacturers of Cheap TVs dont need to invest in their brand reliability, as known brands do. This is for the reason that you dont know which factory manufactured the Television so you wont be able to avoid it in the future if you purchase another unbranded TV. So they dont have the same incentive to protect their brand from poor performing unreliable products.

The probability of unbranded Cheap TVs becoming faulty during the first year or after is greater than for branded TVs since they dont boast the same stringent quality control systems.

The circuit design and internal components on unknown cheap TV brands are not of the same quality as the main brands of televisions, again increasing the probability of the TV going faulty. Reliability surveys carried out by the consumer magazine Which have again and again found that Television brands such as Sony and Panasonic consistently out perform the cheaper unknown cheap TV brands.

It is more difficult to repair cheap televisions from unknown brands

Replacement parts are not as readily available on cheap Television brands as they are for the main Television brands. This is often for the reason that there arent any parts kept in the UK by the manufacturer for the unbranded cheap televisions unlike the main brand televisions so it takes longer to get hold of the parts.

What's more it is more difficult to repair unknown cheaper brand TVs since they havent got the technical support in the UK that the major brands do. As a result if an repair engineer struggles to carry out the repair he cant ask the manufacturer for assistance as a result it will be more likely that the TV cant be repaired. During the first year this isnt a problem because the retailer that sold you the cheap TV will have to repair it or replace it. Although after this period it means that it is more likely that you will have toreplace the cheaper unknown brand TV earlier than a main brand TV.

It is not unknown when a branded Television has had very poor repair history, for the manufacturer to replace, repair or subsidise the cost of the repair outside of beyond the 1 year guarantee as a good will gesture. It is improbable that this would happen for a cheap Televisions from an unheard of brand, which means that you would have to purchase a replacement one earlier than if you had purchased a recognized brand of Television.

How does the performance of cheaper unknown TV brands compare to known TV Brands?

Another reason for the higher selling prices for major brand TVs is that the producers invest in research and development to find ways of improving the current technology to enhance the performance of the Television. This doesnt take place with cheap unbranded TVs which have inferior features and performance. If you read specialist magazines like What Video or What Hifi you will see that main brand TVs get much better reviews than the unknown cheap TV brands.

Conclusion

Cheaper brands of televisions experience poorer reliability and dont possess the features and performance of the more costly main brand Television manufacturers. Taking into account that you often buy a TV to last for 5 years or more, when you divide the cost differential by the number of years that you intend to keep the television for, it is worth paying the extra amount for a branded Television. More often than not the cheaper unbranded Television will prove to be more expensive due to poor reliability and the probability that it will have to be replaced earlier. This is forgetting about the superior performance of the major brand TVs. So the unbranded cheap TVs stand for poor value compared to TVs from Sony, Philips, Pioneer, Panasonic, JVC, LG, Toshiba etc. - 29967

Green Screen Hollywood - Brief History

By Phillip Guye

Green screen Hollywood technology, a. K. A chroma key is a system employed by filmmakers to mix two separate photographs together. This works by making the background ( a solid color which is mostly green or blue ) clear in order to show another image which is the particular background that'll be shown on film. This technique of filming is often referred to as color keying, blue screen, and color separation overlay ( CSO ). It was essentially used for weather reports. Forecasters were shot in front of chroma key screens and the background was replaced by actual maps that indicate weather forecasts . The chroma key technique is also used by filmmakers and photographers alike.

The green screen first made its appearance in the 1930's at RKO Radio Pictures. The background used back then was blue. This technique of film making was developed in order to create special effects for the film "The thief of Bagdad." aside from the chroma key strategy, filmmakers trusted a really tedious and laborious process called "travelling matte." This made transition such as "wipes" possible.

Larry butler is understood to be responsible for pioneering the blue screen method. In reality, he even took home an Academy Award for visual effects for his work in "The thief of Bagdad." After his pre-eminence in the 30's, servant was the first person to use chroma key technology in Technicolor, clearing the path for modern green screen Hollywood technology.

The 1st films to take advantage of Chroma Key technology was the film adaptation of Ernest Hemingway famous novella, "The Old Man and the Sea," starring Spencer Tracy. After the "Old Man and the Sea," more films used the chroma key methodology. Some famous film that make use of chroma key technology are The Empire Strikes Back, Lord of the Rings, Titanic, Star Trek, and even 300. Films that employ CGI or computer generated photographs are also made with the assistance of green screen technology. This is how having out of this world settings and fantastic creatures can be shown on film.

Today, green screen Hollywood technology isn't just restricted to big budget flats. It's also utilized in photography. From the initial blue screen, green was used later on because filmmakers discovered that a green background doesn't need boring lighting. Cameras are most delicate to this color, so the result of films shot on green screens are easier to work with and manipulate. With that said, chroma key technology is now known to photographers and filmmakers' best friend. - 29967

Vital Knowledge That You Need To Know Prior To Buying An Lcd Hdtv 1080p

By Nick Cantos

Finding the ultimate television to compliment your home does not have to be a chore. LCD HDTV 1080p are becoming increasingly popular. You have a wide variety of choices in the market. It offers a great advantage to traditional technology. Don't be confused by the choices.

Each aspect of the LCD HDTV 1080p offers a unique feature. The color technology is uniquely created using the LCD, or liquid crystal display, technology. In these televisions, there is a thin substance that is placed between two electrodes. It fills the screen of the TV. The liquid is activated by electricity passed between the electrodes. As the electricity is modified, the color intensity of the picture is also changed.

When compared to the original color technology, the LCD is superior. The CRT, or cathode ray tube, equipment was the initial color creation tool. The focus for the CRT is significantly less than that created by the LCD.

HDTV stands for high definition television. It is also an upgrade from the CRT. This technology uses a digital broadcasting signal. The resolution is significantly better than other televisions. Today, all free network television is digitally broadcast. An HDTV will easily pick up local stations.

Clarity of the picture is defined as the resolution. The resolution is used to report the clarity of a multitude of products, including televisions, monitors, and printers. It is reported as either dots per inch (dpi) or pixels. Each pixel or dot reflects a color and intensity. When combined, the picture is displayed on the screen.

The resolution is reported by two numbers, like 1920x1080, or one number, 1080 for example. The first number indicates the dpi on the x-axis. The second number indicates the pixels on the y-axis. In general, a greater pixel specification equals better resolution.

HD televisions used to report resolution in i. This stands for interlaced format. A 1080p presents increase quality compared to the 1080i. This is true even though they have identical pixel counts.

A 1080p uses a progressive scan to display the image. In both formats, each line of pixels is created. However, for a 1080i, the odd number of lines is created first. The even numbered lines are filled in after the odds. The 1080p, on the other hand, produces all lines at one time. It displays the image instantly. This is an advantage, especially for action movies or television shows. There is increased focus compared to the 1080i.

To evaluate the picture quality of a LCD HDTV 1080p, it is essential to use quality programs. The picture is only as good as the source. Older movies may not be as equally compatible with the television. They will not highlight the extra quality given by the LCD, HD, or the progressive scan. Many television shows are now broadcast in high definition. Also, most movies will demonstrate the specifications beautifully.

Are you interested in buying a television? You need to take the time to decide. The television should be a staple in your entertainment system. You want to find the highest quality that fits your budget. Do not fail to consider these upgrades in technology. - 29967

Comcast consumers stick around for a reason, and that's because this company makes life a little less complicated and less expensive. You give a lot any day, and Comcast want to give back to you. Your days of enduring mediocre television, internet and telephone services can be over with only one call to Comcast. - 29967

5 Movies Which Leave You A Different Person Afterwards.

By Anna Gonzales

Ever seen a movie that changed your life? Not just in a superficial way, like "wow, I just saw a movie that I like more than all others!" No, I mean one that really changes the way you see the world.

It's hard to find a better list of films that are so unbelievably watchable, and yet say more about all those topics listed above. These movies will literally change your life.

#5: A Template for Spectacle -- Triumph of the Will.

All film is spectacle, it has been said, and there was no larger and more grotesque spectacle than Hitler and his Nazi party. This film celebrates them with movie techniques that were pioneering in its day, and since it is such a celebration of his party, it is so ultimately disturbing that it alters how you see 'tribute' films forever.

#4: De Sica's Genius on Display in Bicycle Thieves.

If you want a little bit of proof that a simplistic story with the vaguest of outlines -- man gets bike and job, bike is stolen, man loses job and steals another bike -- can say universal things about humanity and sadness, then this is your film.

#3: Polanski's Deconstruction of Hollywood in Chinatown.

If you've been put off by a few select films from the'40s because the plots are so convoluted or you don't happen to be a huge Bogart fan, check out this one instead, which has the perfect spirit of the 70s but happens to be set way back.

#2: Vertigo.

There is no other film that tricks the viewer into thinking they are watching just a normal (albeit extremely brilliant) thriller, while simultaneously deconstructing everything about what an actual film director does on set. If you ever need to see a film that can have so much going on all at once without seeming overcrowded, this is it.

#1: Coppola's Godfather Hits Heights Most Films Dream About.

You can almost never get tired of this film, it is that good on first go -- nearly every scene is legendarily filmed, acted, and executed, and then the fact that it happens to convey some grand and great things about America is almost like a bonus, until that becomes the reason you return to it 50 times. - 29967

Renting A Hollywood Green Screen

By Phil Guye

Shooting with Green screen LA is an incredibly innovative experience that causes you to feel that you will never need to look to another filming technique ever again. There are so many things to choose from that a green screen makes it possible for the director to think up of all sorts of new worlds and fantastical scenarios to put on screen due to the innovative opportunities that are available.

To start with, if you are curious about shooting with a Green screen LA, you will have your choice of lofts. Both the residences come to you with a lot of appliances and services that will be available at a very good and competitive rate. You can be sure that your eyeballs will not pop out of their sockets when you look at their tariff card. If you are person who is terribly interested in using the facilities for over one day, then you can glance at the plans that they have prepared and see whether you're able to book weeks or in a number of cases, even months to satisfy your flick making wishes.

Studios that lease out Green screen LA are made available to technical crews and film directors with the additional benefit of having a camera man attending. These apartments are not owned by someone who has been learning stuff along the way. They are run by absolutely qualified folk, experienced in all the latest trends in lighting technology. They're well privy to the fact that there is each possibility a shoot might not turn out the predicted way, if the lighting is not taken care of, as it should.

for instance, if the director wants to have a complete green screen, which covers three walls in a room, he can have to consider corresponding lighting. He cannot hope to have the minimum amount of lights with the green screen and hope that the effect will be the same. Anyway, it is important for the technical crew and the director to work in perfect tandem with the technical people at Green screen LA to get the desired effects in the shoot. For a common man it is one of the most nerve wracking experiences to stand around in a room and wait for a shoot to be carried out to its logical end. This is because many of us do not realize the kind of technical expertise and skill that go into a shoot.

Shooting at Green screen LA is also a pleasure for a couple of other reasons too. You are fairly close to other sorts of facilities like a restroom and cafeteria. So you do not have to stress about providing the catering for your crew or artistes when you are shooting at these flats. Life is a lot easier to manage because everything is created open to you. This is the perfect location for your shoots that have to be phenomenally good. - 29967

Green Screen Studios

By Phillip Guye

Green screen studios are the creators or producers of special effects for film media like pictures, TV shows and commercials, virtual games and other types of video games. CGI effects created using this specialized screen ( or AKA chroma key technology ) is a photo imagery process which allows for photos or videos to be filmed employing a chroma key background, then editing the image background with the suitable background from another source. For this to work correctly, it will need the proper size for the image being created and the appropriate background to achieve the special effect. Then the green screen studios need determine the physical dimension of the original image and make sure that the backgrounds that will be integrate is equivalent in scope.

If someone wants their picture to appear on a magazine cover, they can have their picture taken in front of a chroma key technology and then the background of the desire magazine cover is digitally interpose to create the personalize magazine cover.

The favourite kind of chroma key technology filming is done in front of a soft green cyc. One of the most well liked flats provided for green "chroma key" screen filming is present in many green screen studios scattered across Los Angeles. Most studios are equipped with a 2 wall soft chroma green screen technology cyc, an especially rare, custom cut, and sewn piece of green froth that soaks up sound and decreases green spill due to the minimal reflection of froth. Due to the reduce green spill subjects can be film close to the chroma key technology allowing extra space to walk, run and dance around.

The soft chroma key technology cyc at these green screen studios is large enough to film five to eight adults from top to bottom. Depending on the f-stop the usual lighting uses three to 6k space light, which reduces the terraces heat and load of power supply. The most vital feature of soft key cyc is how good its sound. It's like filming in an isolation boot. The talent is surrounding in part by acoustical froth which boundaries eco effect which is hard making filming easier to perform.

The most experienced producers run into Problems when one of the technicians is attempting to rush the filming process, saying the Problems can be fixed in post production. All this leads directly to is terribly time consuming process with higher costs. - 29967

Discovering Out More Information On Samsung Televisions

By Andrew Johnson

It is not always easy to pick out just the right television for you and you family. There are so many different brands and models out there to choose from, that the task can be a daunting one that is for sure. Samsung televisions have been popular for many years now and they have quite a few to choose from as well. Here we will just go over a couple of them to help narrow your search.

The Samsung LN46B650 is a 46" LCD television with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. A very nice size for any study, den or living room. An important note that anyone should note when operating this television is that to always remember to turn off the 120Hz feature if you are viewing anything other than sports. This feature is mainly for watching sporting events.

The picture on these Samsung televisions are very well defined and their clarity is hard to beat. It also handles those low end signals better than most televisions of the same type. The reason for this is its top of the line processor chip.

HD broadcasts are full of realistic color and incredible details that a lot of other HD capable televisions don't have. The clarity and contrast on these televisions are far superior than other models that are similar to this one. The black levels are outstanding on this model.

The realism that is projected from this television is breathtaking and there are no unnatural colorization whatsoever. The realistic color that comes with this television is incredibly pleasing visually.

When viewing this television from different angles, even at 45 degree angles the picture continues to be beautiful and does not lose any of its clarity or color depth.

The quality of the picture when viewed in different size ratios like 16:9 or 4:3 and even in the various zooms is never distorted in any way when changing from one ratio to another.

It has a beautiful and sleek design with a smoky red that finishes in a slight V at the center bottom of the television. Its an elegant design that is quite pleasing to the eye and gives it a look of being far more expensive that it actually is.

The sound system on these Samsung televisions are provided by Dolby and surprisingly give out some pretty good sound for your listening pleasure.

One of the other popular Samsung televisions would be model B8000. This model is an ultra thin television that only has a depth of 1. 2 inches. This model adds a nice touch to any room.

The vibrancy of the color on this model is quite good although at times the saturation of the color can be overwhelming, although a lot of people make like that vivid of colors. The clarity and brightness jumps right out of the television set, something not often seen with televisions of this type. There is one thing it seems that Samsung televisions have mastered and that would be the black levels. The levels on this television are just perfect. Although the dark shadowing in some scenes aren't so well defined as they could be. Another small flaw would be that at some angles the picture begins to blur somewhat.

The design is sleek and stands on a swivel stand that is heavy and study and done in a beautiful matte silver that accents the glossy screen beautifully.

All of Samsung televisions are top of the line and they continue to be favorites for those looking for high quality and reliable televisions. - 29967

As an example, Turbo HD Bronze package is added to the Classic Bronze 100 package. Similarly, the Turbo HD Silver package can be added onto the Classic Silver 200 package and the Turbo HD Gold package can be added onto the Classic Gold 250 package!

Understanding LED Television Technology

By Wayne Torres

The battle between plasma and LCD televisions was won some time ago by LCD of course; providing a comparable picture, at a lower cost, with lower energy consumption and with greater longevity. Job done you would have though then. But things are never that simple, and now we have the LED television to consider.

Cynics out there, (of which I am a fully paid up member of the club), will snort at such an announcement and claim it is nothing more than a money making exercise. And whilst this holds some water; the technology in an LED television is a step in the right direction, so should not be dismissed too readily.

Essentially, LED television, (light emitting diode), technology is no different to that already seen with their LCD televisions. It is simply another way of lighting the screen itself. Simply put, an LED television creates an image using back lighting, (or side lighting), from the diodes within the unit, as opposed to relying on liquid crystal displays to produce the same effect.

Having the lights set up in this way allows for greater control of the picture; lights can be dimmed and brightened independently of their neighbours; creating a richer content and feel and most important of all, creating true image black scale; they key to picture quality.

Whilst the benefits are far reaching with LED television technology being able to produce better quality images with high brightness and contrast levels, the benefits do not stop here. This better quality image is produced using less power and creating less light and heat wastage. This of course also allows the lifespan to be much longer than even the most robust of LCD TV currently on the market.

They are also a great deal thinner than there predecessors. Whilst regular LCD TVs are very slim; at just mere inches, an LED television will be measured with a depth given in millimetres. Indeed, the leading manufacturers are producing units that are a mere 6mm in depth.

However, new technology does of course command a higher price; and whilst quite sizable LCD screens can now be purchased from six hundred dollars, you will not find many LED screens bigger than fifty inches for much less than two thousand five hundred. The savings on energy consumption, (estimated to be around forty percent), will offset this somewhat of course.

The price of course is easier to swallow, when you look at the bigger picture, (no pun intended), and consider the up to forty percent saving to be made on energy costs. Though this will not sit well with some of course.

However, as with any new concept, the price will be high initially, to pay for investment that the manufactures have had to spend on research and development. The price of an LED television may be out of the reach of many for the time being, but over the next few years this will come down to realistic levels. Just in time for the next advance probably! - 29967

HDMI Cable Strategies

By Zeeman Haus

In some ways, installed HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) cables are better than having a dog. A dog has to be let out, a dog never cleans up after himself, and a dog won't connect set-top boxes, Blu-ray/DVD players, personal computers, video game consoles and AV receivers onto one TV screen. Admittedly, this is a stretch, but what if it were possible to actually have that kind of convenience? It is!

By now I'm sure you (and every small child that's ever come into your home) has noticed the huge rat's nest of cables behind your television monitor. Not only is this unsightly, but more than a little dangerous to your devices and makes upgrading your current devices, such as DVD players, receivers and set top boxes, a real hassle. Imagine just unplugging one end of a cable and plugging in another. Wow, that's amazing!

The first step to bringing you the rest of the way into the 21st Century is to establish which one of your current devices can be converted to HDMI cables. This is pretty easy as all devices associated with multimedia actually have the outputs labeled for your reading pleasure. If, for some reason, you have a DVD player manufactured by a very off brand, you can always buy one HDMI cable and see how many devices it will plug into. That's less complicated than it sounds. If you can successfully make toast, I'm confident you can pull this off.

While you were doing this you might have noticed that your TV only has one HDMI input. Your powers of observation are commended and as a reward you are offered an HDMI hub! What is an HDMI hub? Simply put, it is a switch or way to "splice together" all of your devices. In other words you could plug your DVD player, your Blu-Ray, and your cable box into one device and that one device into your TV.

HDMI hubs range in function and price drastically. The latest-greatest HDMI switches do not require an additional remote and will switch from device to device based on which device was powered up last. Others come with a remote control, so you're back to selecting the device that you are going to be using. They also come in different configurations that will allow you to add more devices, if that is your need. A 4x1 hub would be a hub that allows four devices to be linked to a single TV or monitor. The "4" is for the amount of devices and the "1" indicated the number of TVs or monitors. There are even some 4x4's out there that will route to four monitors, but won't get you out of the mud if you get stuck.

To get to the meat of the subject, HDMI cables can be cheap or expensive depending on your needs. The two basic things to look for are possible EMI (Electro-Magnet Interference, or cable noise) sources and cable length needed. Determining length is pretty easy when you consider digital signal can travel through a cable for 50' without any noticeable deterioration. Should you need to go further (for Pete's sake--why?), you can purchase digital repeaters. EMI is a little trickier though. Take stock of your electrical cords as they are the main culprits. Try your best to separate them from all the other cables. If that's not practical, just buy HDMI cables with thicker shielding. The price range for your cables can be anywhere from $8 to $100, so you have a lot of room to work with.

Though HDMI is rapidly becoming the standard, there are actually different connector types that have been introduced over the last seven years or so. If you have an older DVD player with an earlier type, don't fret; adapters are cheap and work just fine. There are also different versions of HDMI cables. The latest is 1.4 which will support virtually everything in your home, including computer video cards. It should also be noted that DVI and HDMI, while not the same thing, are compatible with an adapter.

HDMI will never replace the love of a child or cook you breakfast, but it will make your life easier. With just a few hours of planning and installation you have enabled your home theater to be aesthetically more pleasing and a lot easier to upgrade. You've also eliminated that nasty eyesore of cables you've wadded up and gave up on a long time ago. With HDMI, you can give up on them permanently. - 29967

Know The Relationship Between Sony Televisions And Refresh Rates

By Matthew Kerridge

Before you go out and buy one of the many different and exciting Sony televisions you must take into account several factors though none is more important than determining the correct refresh rate. At the moment, Sony is selling its renowned BRAVIA products that you will find come in three distinct flavors including the 240Hz and 120Hz as well as 60Hz models.

It pays to, before picking any one of these Sony televisions, understand what the refresh rate really is and how it impacts your buying decision. When you look at the different models you will notice that the product is referred to as 60 Hz or 120 Hz or even 240 Hz.

The refresh rate is nothing but the number of times the television set scans for images in just one second. It is therefore necessary to understand how the various speeds of scanning in a television set affect the quality of image displayed on the screen.

Without any doubt, if the television has higher number of scans then it will be able to produce the clearest and sharpest images and these images will also be blur-free. This in turn will translate into viewing better quality of the moving image. The only trouble is that the higher the refresh rate is the higher will be the cost of the Sony television set. So, you must balance quality of image with your budget and individual needs.

So, if you want the best image then you will need to look for the highest refresh rate which will make watching action on the movie a whole lot better. However, if your main interest is to watch soap operas then you don't need to be too worried about the refresh rate because there is hardly any action taking place. Only if you are a sports buff or you like action movies should you be worried about the refresh rate.

If you are skeptic you might well say that the human eye cannot distinguish between the image produced by a set with higher refresh rate. However, by comparing two Sony television sets with varying refresh rates you just might agree that the one with a better refresh rate is the better option.

The bottom line is that if you can afford to pay more for a television set with higher refresh rate then go for it. The 240Hz Bravia Sony television models are certainly worth paying a little extra for, especially if you love sports and like to watch movies with plenty of action in them. - 29967

The companies that sell Toshiba televisions usually offer free shipping when you are buying them online.

During the holiday season is the best time to buy anything, especially electronics, because they are usually close to ninety percent off their original price. If you buy a Toshiba television online directly from the site then you can be sure you are getting a great price, they usually offer free shipping during the holidays.

Free shipping is great to have because then you can use what you would have spent on shipping on something else for a family member or friend that you have to buy for during the holidays. Or you can simply save the money and use it as some play money for yourself.

I have put a Toshiba television in my sons room because I think it helps to keep him asleep. It adds just enough noise so that if something else happens that is loud around the house then he will not be woke up by it.

I own a sixty inch flat panel display television from Toshiba and I think it is the best investment I have made because it is as clear as a television can currently get and I can see everything without having to strain my eyes. Televisions can be very bad on your eyes and a Toshiba make such vivid pictures to their televisions it is like looking out a very clean window into the world outside.

It really does not matter what size of television you get as long as it is a Toshiba Television because they offer so many different varieties it might be hard for you to choose which one you like. I know I found it hard, but eventually I settled on one for each room and I am very satisfied with my decision, I hope you will be too. - 29967

Full HDTV Facts

By James Junior

Since the federal regulation of mandatory DTV (digital television) signal, the subject of full HDTV (full high definition television) has become a more popular topic of discussion and has become more of an interest to the public. With the digital changeover, now everyone has access to HDTV signal. However, an HDTV display is still necessary in order to view high definition no matter what type of signal you have (cable, antenna, or satellite).

For HDTV, resolution is the key word, defining how detailed an image can be displayed without blurring. Those who opted for the HD converter box are still viewing a picture on an analogue CRT screen .NTSC-analogue TV resolution is defined as 480i. The 'i' means interlaced. This results from the TV camera having 480 horizontal lines of resolution while the CRT tube has only 240 lines available. So every other line of the 480 is simultaneously scanned for 1/60th of a second then the remaining lines are scanned. Hence, the TV signal is "interlaced" giving the appearance of more vertical resolution. With an aspect ratio of 4:3 (width x height), the analogue television resolution can be described as 640 x 480i.

So how do HDTV and full HDTV differ from analogue TV? Certainly the most obvious feature is the resolution. Standard HDTV has a resolution of 720i or 720p and full HDTV has 1080i or 1080p. The 'p' signifies progressive scanning versus interlaced, i.e. all the vertical scans are done at the same time. With a 16:9 aspect ratio in HDTV this results in 1520 x 720 pixels for standard HDTV and 1920x1080 pixels for full HDTV.

It seems that the full HDTV (1080p) would be the most desirable product for optimum resolution and viewing pleasure. However, on televisions smaller than 42 inches in size, the difference in the standard HDTV versus the full HDTV isn't visible. For this reason, full HDTV isn't available on smaller TVs. Only standard HDTV (720i or 720p) is available. Hence, a 42 inch screen television or larger is required if you wish to get the benefit of full HDTV.

Three choices of screen technologies are available for full HDTV. These are rear projection HDTV, full HD plasma TV and full HD LCD TV. Rear projection HDTVs are still available but this technology appears on the decline with many manufactures dropping out of the market. Therefore, one is left with full HD plasma TV and full HD LCD TV to choose between. Since a resolution of 1080p is assumed, other factors affecting image quality to consider are response time and refresh rate, contrast ratio and color reproduction.

Full HDTV plasma displays are bright, have a wide color range, and can be produced in fairly large sizes, up to 58 inches is commercially available. Because the display panel is only about 6 cm (2.5 inches) thick, the overall thickness is about 4 to 6 inches. Contrast ratios are as high as 50K to 100K are claimed but, in reality, the highest available in stores is 30K with response times at 0.001 milliseconds and refresh frequencies of 600 Hz. Fast response times make plasma TV's ideal for fast motion video (films or sports viewing). Plasma screens also are said to have better color reproduction than LCDs and to have a wider viewing angle.

Of course full HDTV plasma is not perfect. The power requirements can be as high as 500 watts for some large screen versions and because the screen is made of glass, glare can be a problem. Plasma displays are heavier compared to their LCD counterparts but can be wall mounted.

Full HDTV LCDs have the same resolution, 1080p, as plasma HDTV. Initially, slow response times in LCD sets could result in ghosting on fast-moving images. However, refresh rates have decreased to about 2 ms with a 240Hz refresh rate. The contrast ratios have also been improved to 30K. Full HDTV LCD's are less expensive for the high-end systems necessary for full HDTV.

A note of caution, except for resolution, when comparing specifications many reviewers question their accuracy and their meaningfulness to your viewing experience. My advice is judge for your self. In conclusion, barring financial and/or physical restraints or simple preference for smaller TV size, full HDTV is the obvious choice. If striving for a home theatre experience, make sure your full HDTV is compatible with the entire system you are planning. - 29967

What's the Sony KDL52Z5500 Like?

By Gretchen Hill

The purpose of this article is to introduce the average consumer to the Bravia line of Sony televisions. The bulk will consist of discussion particularly pertaining to the Sony KDL52Z5500. This is a sleek and stylish television with a truly impressive list of features.

We might be a country that cannot seem to agree on a lot, but one thing that mostly all of us can agree on is that television is a pretty great invention. Many of us spend hours of our days immersed in intricate story lines of great dramas, or laughing uproariously at our favourite sitcoms. While many have made the switch from standard to high definition televisions, there are a few that are holding back for one reason or another. Through this article I hope to encourage you to make the change.

If you find yourself unable to say for certain that you want to make the switch to high definition, you should check out some of the Sony Bravia televisions like the Sony KDL52Z5500. They considerably range in size, but they all pack the same features and impressive reputation of customer satisfaction. In addition, the line is affordable for the average consumer, which allows making the change from standard to HD even easier.

There are many different attractive qualities to the Sony KDL52Z5500, but some that have to be mentioned are: the size of the screen and its clarity, connectivity to a computer, and the price.

More recently, Sony has been making huge strides to be on the forefront of high definition. To not just make big televisions that looked good on a wall, but televisions that performed as good as they look. Full 1080i resolution on every Bravia screen and advanced technology to eliminate blurring for good is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what make this television easy to watch. When specifically speaking of the Sony KDL52Z5500, all of the detail and vibrancy come to life on a 52" screen.

Another feature that should be mentioned is the synchronisation technology integrated into the television itself. The Bravia is DNLA enabled, and that means that it can sync up wirelessly with other devices that are DNLA enabled as well. Most often, these devices are computers. What this means for you is that you can view media stored on your computer on your large 52" screen.

You might assume that a television of this magnitude will cost you an arm and a leg. However, when compared to other televisions of the same size and relatively similar features, you will see that the Sony KDL52Z5500 is actually pretty affordable. The base price for the unit is around 2000 pounds.

A Sony Bravia KDL52Z5500 high definition television is an impressive display of just how far high definition televisions have come. They are impressive machines that are worth a second glance, or a third or fourth for that matter. - 29967

The Advantages Of Digital Film Downloading Onto Your PC

By Weiss Bishop

It's absolutely amazing to me to know that there are full movie downloads available on the Internet for free. The concept is heaven to me because I despise the movie theatres. Why? Because the seats are uncomfortable, the food is expensive and the people; well they are down right rude. Have you ever experienced a crying baby or disrespectful teenagers in a movie theatre? It is not a pleasant experience.

When I heard that you could get free full movie downloads I was elated. I love watching DVD movies and I spend a lot of money buying them at the retail stores, so naturally the free movie downloads word grabbed my attention. But I am here to warn you so buyer beware, free is not better.

First of all, these free sites only offer oldie classics and not the new releases or blockbusters you want to watch. The movie quality will be a snowy picture and the sound not the best. The downloading takes forever and worst of all; you are inviting malicious viruses and Spyware into your computer system. It's not worth it.

Most of these free sites are scam sites so be careful. We all know there are cruel people out there ready to steal your money and they are dressed in sheep's clothing; in this case dressed as a free site. Be smart and choose the membership sites.

Some charge you by the month and some sites charge you a one-time fee for unlimited access for a lifetime. The download speeds are faster than the free sites and many also provide technical support should you encounter any difficulties along the way. But more importantly, you won't experience viruses and Spyware, as they are certified free from these culprits.

The most important thing I want to stress here is that they are certified free from all viruses and Spyware. Also available for free movie downloads is known as the peer-to-peer networks or P2P, but I would not recommend this because of the viruses and Spyware that can be accessed. This technology allows virtually millions of people to share files with each other and this allows the potentially deadly and malicious viruses to be sent to your computer's data that can be compromised.

You can also download your favorite DVD movies to your PSP through these reliable movie websites. With a simple one time membership payment you have unlimited access to not only movies, but also game shows, TV shows, music videos, games, etc. You can also transfer your movie from your computer to your PSP and watch it when you're traveling. It makes perfect sense to go through these reliable and legal resources for your favorite PSP movie downloads.

The key is to go to reliable and legal sources that charge a small fee. You'll feel a whole lot better in your easy chair watching your favorite DVD movies knowing that you have saved a tremendous amount of money and saved yourself from any possible threats of viruses. - 29967

LED Televisions Produce Great Picture

By Jed Young

As the days pass technology seems to take giant leaps forward. This is true also for the consumer electronics industry and in particular television technology. LED Televisions are the latest crop of consumer electronics televisions to hit the market. They offer much better picture quality and many more functions. Various manufacturers call it by various names but because the television uses LEDs I guess the name is fitting for this technology. We will take a glimpse in what you can expect from these televisions.

The term LED Televisions is something that Samsung has widely used and it has been under much debate if the television should be called an LED television since it's not entirely composed of LEDs. However the job of these LEDs is to light up the LCD display and in turn produce great shades of various colors and deep dark colors which means that it improves over all picture quality.

There are various types of televisions on the market however the major difference you will see in both conventional LCDs and LED televisions is both in result as well as internal technology. One of the things that will first catch your eye is the television's capability to produce very dark shades of black and other bright colors.

LED Televisions are also extremely slim owing to the edge-LED lighting technology. The current models you see on the market are around an inch think. They are also less power hungry when compared to conventional LCD televisions. Experts believe that they can save as much as 40% more electricity than conventional LCD televisions of a similar size.

LED Televisions can also provide for a much broader array of color gamut. This is especially true in areas where RGB backlighting is used.

LCD televisions use the conventional back light to light up the LCD panel. However on the other hand what LED Televisions use are an array of LED lights which are installed behind the LCD panel. The difference between edge technology and other technology is that is uses white LEDs which are placed around the sides of the panel and use special diffusion technology to light up the screen by spreading light behind the panel.

When you weigh the benefits of conventional LCDs to LED televisions it's easy to see that there are far more benefits with the latter technology. Everything apart it helps you save energy as compared to LCD technology. You will also see some of the best pictures you have ever seen in a television not to mention the array of functions that you will have at your finger tips. However its only the price you need to get your head around.

There are various consumer electronic businesses that produce different types of LED Televisions. Every business does its own special thing in order to improve picture quality and add a few more functions than its competitor. What you need to do as a consumer is to look for the best price to picture quality ratio. You also need to look at the functions and if you feel that the television works great and shows great pictures then you have a winner and you should purchase it. - 29967
