Plasma TV Info
Plasma displays have a 16:9 aspect ratio (i.e., 16 units wide to 9
units high), the proper one for viewing HDTV and for watching DVDs.
But most television shows are still broadcast in the more
traditional 4:3 aspect ratio, the one that more closely approximates
the dimensions of conventional TV sets.
Does this mean that you'll
have to watch some shows where the image is distorted or stretched
unnaturally? No. When displaying a "normal" or 4:3 picture image
from satellite, VCR, or cable TV, the image can be viewed in a
number of ways-in its original format (with black or gray bars on
the sides of the screen), or in "full" mode (where the image is
converted or "stretched" using specially designed algorithms to
reduce the visible stretch marks as much as possible).
The display is multi-functional and long-lived. A plasma display is a
television monitor, capable of displaying HDTV, regular TV, and home
video. It's also a computer monitor. In fact, it can accept any
video format. Plasma displays typically include inputs for (a)
composite video, (b) S-video and component video, and (c) one or
more RGB inputs from a computer.
You can expect to use you plasma
display in many capacities and for many years: The average lifespan
of one of these displays is 30,000 hours. That's about 3.5 years of
24/7 usage! If watching TV was your full-time job, and you did it
for 8 hours a day, it would take you more than a decade to wear out
your plasma display.
