I received a friend’s Hitachi 53FDX20b Projection TV, which I have it hook to satellite.
The pictures am getting are not as crisp as the one am getting on my
Sony KV-32S20. What is wrong with the Hitachi HDTV? Is there something missing.
I have it hook exactly as in the manual.

The Hitachi 53FDX20b Projection television is user-selectable to operate at either 1080i or 540p in the menu. Best on-screen resolution will be at 1080i. Suggest you check also alignment and focus which are likely to move slightly if the television is moved. It includes very sophisticated automatic and manual software to perform this, which is accessible through the menu. Remember also that any comparison of resolution (crispness) should be when looking at real HDTV material and at similar screen-height distances, 78 in. for the Hitachi and 48 in. for the Sony

The label HDSC means High Definition Scan Conversion, a technique in which all incoming formats are converted to the HD format, either 1080 interlaced or 540 progressive, which are the same from the display viewpoint. Thus the display operates in a fixed HD format, a necessity for panel displays such as LCD, DLP and Plasma and a design simplification for CRT displays. As a general comment, using the display as a format converter is unlikely to be as effective as a digital format converter connected to an good HD display.

Many wide-screen 'HDTV ready' set advertise 1280x768 or 1024x768 pixel LCD or DLP chips. How can they legally claim to be HDTV which requires 1920x1080 pixels?

In the FAQ section of this site, the definitions of HDTV are shown. Have a look there and in particular look at:
What are the Minimum Features a TV Must Have to Qualify as a High Definition TV (HDTV)?
The minimum performance attributes for HDTV are:
Picture Quality: vertical display resolution of 720p,resulting in 921,600 pixels per frame, or 1080i or higher delivering a picture of over 2,000,000 pixels.
Aspect Ratio: capable of displaying a 16:9 image at the minimum resolution level. Should your HD set be a 4:3 natural display, the HD signal will be letter-boxed to a 16:9 aspect ratio, and the set manufacturer will identify the number of active scan lines: 540 in progressive or 810 for interlaced formats.
Audio: receives, reproduces, and/or outputs Dolby 5.1 digital audio.
Tuner: receives all ATSC Table 3 formats and displays them in their original format (see chart below).

HDTV set and standards
I am planning to buy a new TV. The one I am looking at (Toshiba 26HF84) has 480i, 480p and 1080i, but no 720p. How do you think will that affect my experience? Obviously in case I do not want to get the HD box from Rogers, but get some HD programs with an antenna. With the exception of City TV is there any other station that broadcast HDTV over the air (in GTA)? Do you know what format are they using?
Thanks,
Mike
Comment from Amin..
1. The lack of 720p will only be marginally noticeable on some fast moving scenes, such as sports and perhaps on some movies. The differences on most programming are hard to see.
2. Most broadcasters are using 1080i for HDTV at present. Some others, such as Fox, ABC and ExpressVu use 720p for most programming. Your TV will take care of the conversions and convert all formats to that of the screen.
3. In Toronto and the GTA, CITY TV and Toronto 1 are the only DTV broadcasts currently on-air. CBC will be coming on early in 2005. In many parts of the GTA, you can also receive the US stations from Buffalo/Niagara Falls off-air with an outdoor antenna.

HDTV Limit
Is there a higher resolution than 720p or 1081i for HD televisions and broadcast transmition? Some HD vendors claim they have higher than these resolutions.( for PC use mainly) Will I get better picture quality if I opt for one of these higher than 720p or 1080i HDTVs?
Comment from Admin.
The highest picture resolution specified in the ATSC transmission standard for HDTV is 1920 x 1080 pixels for the so-called 1080i format. In the production studio higher resolutions are used for film production and 1080p is used for HD movie production. HDTV Displays commonly available for consumer use are 1280 x 720 or 1366 x 768 pixels in DLP, plasma and LCD and 1080 x 1920 in LCD and CRT. Higher resolution displays are available for computer and special video uses but their use for ATSC reception would yield but a small increment of quality improvement and some increased visibility of compression artifacts. Some “HD Compatible” displays in the market use 852 x 480 and down-convert everything to this level, with some loss of quality.

LCD PANEL
I bought a 42 inch Sony Grand Wega KF-42WE620 two months ago. The right side of the screen is totally black and the left hand side is much lighter. In the middle there is a big white spot the size of a softball. When I watch movies, I can still see the white spot in the middle. Is this normal for these type of high definition T.V’s? Cause I have no clue.... PLEASE HELP ME!
Comment from Admin.
You describe some serious problem with the HD television. This television is an LCD rear projection device, using three LCD chips. No, it definitely is not normal and I suggest you contact Sony technical service to have the problem fixed. Sounds as though there is a problem with the optics. This display is capable of very high quality picture reproduction and anything less indicates a problem. Good luck.
