HDTV will immerse you in the programming like never before, you will not only watch television, you will experience it.
There are several benefits to viewing programs in high-definition:
Clarity
The digital signal is crystal clear and noise-free. When compared with regular analog television, HDTV offers ultra-sharp detail, lifelike depth, and vivid colors.
Widescreen
|
Standard TVs use an aspect ratio of 4:3, which is the relationship between the width of a screen and its height. Theatrical films are much wider and take advantage of your actual field of vision. On a square 4:3 television, widescreen films must be edited in order to fit. With HDTV comes widescreen television, which displays a more rectangular image in a 16:9 aspect ratio. Most movies and sporting events will fill the entire screen.

Sharpness
In addition to clarity, HDTV provides a much sharper picture than analog television.
Just like a digital camera, more pixels means sharper pictures.
The highest resolution HDTV format has approximately 2 million pixels compared to about ½ million pixels in analog TV.
Digital Surround Sound
|
HDTV's digital audio sounds better than a standard television's analog sound, just like digital CDs are superior to analog radio.
Also, some HDTV programs use Dolby Digital surround sound,
|
 |
which is also frequently used on DVDs.
With 6 speakers, Dolby Digital can create a home theater experience with a three-dimensional sound field.
