Plasma Televisions February 19th, 2007 等离子电视 2007年2月19日Calculating the Correct Distance计算正确的距离
In setting up the environment for your plasma TV, a primary consideration is to determine the screen size to match the floor plan or available space where the plasma will be displayed.在建立环境为您的等离子电视的,是首要考虑的因素是决定屏幕尺寸,以符合楼面计划或可用空间的等离子体会被显示。
Plasma monitors are measured diagonally across the screen, just like any other television set.等离子显示器的对角线测量在屏幕上,就像任何其他电视机。 You can typically choose from the following sizes: 32″, 40″, 42″, 46″, 50″, 61″, or 63″.通常可以从下列项目中选择大小: 32 “ , 40 ” , 42 “ , 46 ” , 50 “ , 61 ”或63 “ 。 Bigger is not always better, and a certain distance must be maintained between the plasma TV and the viewing area for optimal viewing experience.大不见得是件好事,而且一定的距离必须保持之间的等离子电视和可视面积为最佳的视觉体验。 Sitting too far away diminishes the overall impact.坐在太遥远削弱了总体影响。 Sitting too close, however, could also present its own problems - as when you start seeing the screen’s “structure”; ie, the dots or pixels that make up the plasma display.坐在太接近,但也可以提出自己的问题-当您看到屏幕的“结构” ,即或像素点构成的等离子显示器。
In determining the appropriate TV size for you, you should also consider the space required to install the unit itself.在确定适当的电视大小,你还应该考虑的空间需要安装的单位本身。 When recessing a plasma display unit, allow at least 3 inches of open space at the top of the unit and adequate ventilation space of at least 2 inches behind it as well.当休会等离子显示单元,让至少3英寸的开放空间上方的单位和足够的通风空间,至少2英寸背后的。 Remember, too, that most plasma displays do not have built-in speakers, so you’ll need to allow space enough to attach speakers.请记住,也大多数等离子显示器没有内置扬声器,因此您需要让空间足够的重视发言。
What You Can Watch on Your Plasma TV你可以看你的等离子电视
You can choose between HDTV (High Definition TV) and EDTV (Enhanced Definition TV) for your choice of plasma display.您可以选择之间的HDTV (高清晰度电视)和EDTV (增强清晰度电视)为您选择的等离子显示器。 Which type you prefer depends on the kind of material you intend to watch on the plasma.哪种类型取决于你喜欢什么样的材料你打算观看的血浆。
EDTV is the perfect entry point into digital television, with a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio and an image resolution that is 200% better than today’s analog televisions. EDTV是一个完美的切入点数字电视,以16:9宽屏和宽高比的图像分辨率是200 %优于今天的模拟电视。 On the other hand, HDTV has up to four times the resolution and colors compared to EDTV, offering the ultimate visual and sound experience.另一方面,高清晰度电视已高达4倍的分辨率和颜色相比, EDTV ,提供的视觉和声音体验。
At present, only a limited number of programs are broadcast in true high-definition format (all major networks broadcast HD counterparts to their regular analog-signal broadcasts).目前,只有为数有限的广播节目在真正的高清晰度格式(所有主要的网络广播的HD对应其经常模拟信号广播) 。 In fact, if you plan to use a plasma HDTV for regular TV programming, you may be surprised to find that regular TV programming may even appear slightly worse, as the big screen exaggerates the flaws in standard TV programs.事实上,如果您打算使用等离子电视定期的电视节目,您可能会惊讶地发现,经常性的电视节目,甚至可能出现轻微更糟的是,作为大屏幕夸大缺陷标准的电视节目。 DVD images from most of the currently available DVD titles on the market today also do not fare as well on true HD plasmas.图像的DVD大部分来自现有的DVD标题当今市场上也没有票价,以及真正的高清等离子。 In fact, these DVD images appear better on EDTV plasma units, because the image resolution of a widescreen DVD (nominally 740 x 480) more closely matches the actual resolution (852 x 480) of the EDTV plasma display.事实上,这些DVD的图像出现更好的EDTV等离子单位,因为图像分辨率的宽屏的DVD (名义上的740 × 480 )更密切地符合实际的决议( 852 × 480 )的EDTV等离子显示器。
Why bother with a High Definition TV at all, you may ask?为什么要费心了高清晰度电视,您可能会问? Because HDTV, paired with a true High-Definition or high-quality source, can produce truly stunning images.由于高清晰度电视,搭配一个真正的高清晰度或高品质的来源,可以产生真正令人目瞪口呆的图像。 With a progressive-scan DVD player paired with, say, any of the recently released HD-DVD or forthcoming Blu-ray DVD titles (encoded in true HD format), your plasma HDTV can come to spectacular life and bring out unrivaled image quality.与逐行扫描DVD播放机搭配,也就是说,任何最近发表的HD - DVD或即将蓝光DVD标题(编码的真正的HD格式) ,您的等离子电视可以到壮观的生活带来了无与伦比的图像质量。 And as more TV programming becomes available in High-Definition format with the looming of the FCC deadline for switching to all-digital broadcasting, plasma HDTV sets will have more TV content to show.随着更多的电视节目,成为可在高清晰度格式迫在眉睫的截止日期为催化裂化切换到全数字化广播,等离子高清电视机将有更多的电视内容显示。 One thing’s for sure: Your HDTV won’t be obsolete anytime in the next few years.有一件事是肯定的:你的高清晰度电视将不会过时随时在今后几年中。

Specifications When comparing plasma TV sets, it’s important to know what to look for to make sense of the specifications you’re presented with.规格比较等离子电视,重要的是要知道如何寻找有意义的规格你介绍。 Below is a quick rundown on the necessary specs that you need to weigh before making that all-important purchase decision.以下是一个快速破败必要的规格,你必须权衡决策之前,所有重要的购买决策。
Resolution: Resolution is a determining factor in selecting a plasma TV.分辨率:分辨率是一个决定性的因素在选择等离子电视。 Do you want HDTV or EDTV?你想或高清晰度电视EDTV ? HDTV, with a resolution of at least 1024 x 720, is the ultimate visual and sound experience, but what is available for viewing on HD is currently restricted to a few HD channels on cable, as well as the newly emerging - and necessarily few - DVD titles from the HD-DVD and Blu-ray DVD formats.高清晰度电视,其分辨率至少1024 × 720 ,是最终的视觉和声音体验,但是可以观看HD是目前只限于少数几个高清频道的有线电视,以及新出现的-必然几个- DVD影片由HD - DVD和蓝光DVD格式。 On the other hand, most of the currently available DVDs actually play better when viewed on EDTV, because the image resolution of a widescreen DVD (nominally 740 x 480) more closely matches the actual resolution (852 x 480) of the EDTV plasma display.另一方面,大多数现有的DVD实际上更好地发挥上查看时EDTV ,因为图像分辨率的宽屏的DVD (名义上的740 × 480 )更密切地符合实际的决议( 852 × 480 )的EDTV等离子显示器。 Choosing the type of plasma TV that you want, therefore, is a question that should be considered along with the type of content you frequently watch or will be watching on your plasma.选择的类型等离子电视,你想要的,因此,这个问题应被视为与类型的内容您经常收看或将密切关注您的血浆。
Inputs: A plasma television should work with any existing video component with standard A/V, S-Video, or Component Video outputs.投入:一种等离子电视应该与任何现有的视频组件与标准的A / V , S -视频,或分量视频输出。 In addition, most plasma TVs have DVI or HDMI connections for use with high-definition sources.此外,大多数等离子电视有DVI或HDMI连接使用的高清晰度来源。 Some plasma TVs also have VGA input connections that allow them to be used as monitors for a PC.有些等离子电视也有的VGA输入连接,使它们能够被用来作为显示器一台PC 。 At the minimum, look for the following specifications on a plasma connection: DVI-I or DVI-D, Component, RCA or Composite, and S-Video.最起码,寻找以下规格的等离子方面: DVI接口一或DVI - D号,成分,莲花或复合和S - Video 。 Take into consideration your current component set-up - such as your satellite system, cable box, DVD player, and external stereo components - and see what kind of inputs or connectors they use.考虑到目前的组件设置-如您的卫星系统,有线电视机顶盒, DVD播放机,和外部的立体声部件-看看什么样的投入或他们使用的连接器。
Tuner: Check your plasma to see if it is HD-ready or HD-integrated.调谐器:检查您的等离子,看它是否是高清还是HD -一体化。 An HD-ready plasma TV is essentially a monitor that needs an external tuner source before it can function as a TV.一个高清等离子电视基本上是一台监视器,需要一个外部调谐器源才可以充当电视。 An HD-integrated panel has a tuner built into the set and is ready for use.一个HD -综合小组有一个调谐器内置的一套,并准备使用。 If you receive your HDTV programming via cable or satellite instead of over-the-air, you may not need a tuner at all, as you will be using the set-top boxes provided by your cable/satellite service to receive HDTV programming.如果您收到您的HDTV节目通过有线电视或卫星而不是空中,您可能并不需要在所有调谐器,你将使用机顶盒提供的有线/卫星接收服务,高清晰度电视节目。 Check with your cable or satellite providers for more details.请与您的有线电视或卫星提供更多细节。 Some cable/satellite companies do away with set-top boxes and provide their subscribers with cable cards instead.一些有线/卫星公司取消机顶盒,并提供他们的用户与有线电视卡代替。 Check with your cable/satellite provider if they provide cable cards and the cable-card type that they offer, and then check the specification on the plasma for cable card slots.请与您的有线/卫星供应商,如果他们提供身份证和有线电视电缆卡类型,它们提供的,然后检查规格的等离子有线电视卡插槽。
Contrast Ratio: Contrast ratio is the measurement that determines the variation between the whitest and darkest parts of the image.对比度:对比度是衡量确定的变化之间的whitest和黑暗的地区的形象。 This is an important specification, since plasma TVs with a low contrast ratio will make dark images look muddy and gray while making light images look washed out.这是一个重要的规格,因为等离子电视与低对比度将使黑暗泥泞的图像看起来和灰色,轻图片看冲毁了。 A good measure of contrast ratio is 1,000:1 or higher.一个很好的措施,对比度为1000:1或更高。 Anything less than 1,000:1 - especially on a set that is 42″ or larger - may not provide optimal viewing experience.任何低于1000:1 -尤其是一套是42 “或更大-可能无法提供最佳的视觉体验。
Brightness: Without sufficient brightness, your image will look muddy and soft - even in a dark room.亮度:没有足够的亮度,您的形象将泥泞和软-甚至在黑屋子里。 Viewing distance, screen size, and ambient room light will also affect the need for more brightness capability.观看距离,屏幕尺寸,并根据房间环境也将影响需要更多的亮度能力。 A brightness rating listed at 550 cd/m2 or higher is good, but don’t get bogged down with the technical number listed.亮度等级列在550流明以上是好的,但不要陷入与技术列出的电话号码。 Instead, make sure that the screen is bright enough for your needs as you conduct your own visual inspection.相反,以确保画面是光明的足够您的需要你自己进行目视检查。
Panel Life: Look for a minimum of 60,000 hours of panel life in your plasma specifications.小组生活:寻找最低限度的六点○○○万小时小组生活中的血浆规格。 This is the rating on how long it would take before your panel has half the brightness compared to when it was new.这是评级多久才能收到您的面板亮度的一半时相比,是新的。 A 60,000-hour spec translates to approximately 20 years of viewing at 8 hours per day.甲60000小时的规范转化为大约20年的观赏8小时,每一天。 (This approximation may vary, depending on the source and type of content, settings, environment, and use of your plasma TV.) (此近似可能会有所不同,根据来源和类型的内容,设置环境,并使用您的等离子电视。 )
Anti-burn-in/Pixel Shift: Burn-in refers to the remnants burned on to the screen after a static image has been left on the plasma for a long period of time. Anti-burn-in/Pixel移:老化是指对烧伤残余的画面后,静态图片本来就一直在等离子的很长一段时间。 To minimize or prevent burn-in, determine if the plasma panel utilizes burn-in protection, such as power management settings, full-time picture or pixel shift (both vertical and horizontal) technologies, or automatic screensaver functions.为了尽量减少或防止老化,确定是否采用等离子面板烧伤的保护,如电源管理设置,专职像素的图片或转移(纵向和横向)的技术,或自动屏幕保护程序的功能。
Speakers: If you plan to use an external surround sound system, you won’t need audio speakers, but most plasma TV sets include speakers that rated anywhere from 7-12 Watts Pre-amp - which is much better than that of conventional TVs and sufficient for most viewing.发言者:如果您计划使用一个外部环绕声系统,您将不必音箱,但大部分等离子电视包括扬声器额定时间从7-12瓦前置放大器-这是明显优于传统的电视和足够的大部分观看。 Check your plasma’s specifications to see if it comes with speakers and if the speakers are removable.检查您的等离子的规格,看它是否配备发言,如果发言者卸除。
Universal Remote: A universal remote can take the place of having one remote, so that it controls all the various components of your TV system, such as the DVD player, audio, cable/satellite etc. If you plan on buying a universal remote, check to see if it’s supported by the plasma set of your choice to make sure the plasma accepts universal remote devices.通用遥控:一种通用遥控器可以取代了一个遥控器,以便它控制所有的各个组成部分的电视系统,如DVD播放机,音响,有线/卫星等如果您打算购买通用遥控器,查看是否它支持的等离子您选择,以确保血浆接受通用遥控装置。
Power Consumption: Power consumption for plasmas range from 240 watts to over 500 watts, If you’re concerned with how much energy a plasma set may use, check its specifications to determine power consumption.功率消耗:电力消费的等离子体范围从240瓦到500瓦,如果您关注多少能源等离子一套可以使用,检查其规格,以确定能耗。 Units tend to have higher wattage requirements as the screen increases.单位往往有较高的功率要求屏幕增加。 A good rule of thumb is to compare similar-sized units together; units with higher wattages tend to use inferior components as a rule.一个好的经验法则是比较类似的中小型单位的共同努力;单位具有较高wattages倾向于使用伪劣部件作为一项规则。
