Tips and Tools



From Robert Silva, your Guide to Home Theater
As a build up to Black Friday, I am sending out a special supplementary newsletter every week highlighting Christmas and Holiday Shopping Tips for loyal newsletter subscribers. This week, the spotlight is on Plasma TV. If you haven't replaced your old TV, or want to upgrade to a larger screen, Plasma TVs are a great option, they are more affordable than ever, and a growing number feature Network connectivity, and even 3D!

Plasma TV FAQs
Before you head out to buy a Plasma TV, check out some informative answers to common questions about Plasm TVs and Plasma TV technology.

Best Plasma TVs
Although LCD TVs are the most common TV type in consumers homes, Plasma TVs are also a great choice, especially for sports and movies. This year, expect some great low prices for Plasma TVs. Check out a list of my current favorites.

What a Sub-Field Drive Is
When shopping for a Plasma Television, just as with most consumer electronics products, consumers are confronted with lots of numbers and tech terms. One specification that is unique to Plasma Television is the Sub-Field Drive rate, which is often times stated as 480Hz, 550Hz, 600Hz, or similar number. What does the term Sub-Field Drive and these numbers actually mean? For some answers, check out my article: What A Plasma TV Sub-Field Drive Is.

1080i vs 1080p
There is a lot of talk about 1080p being the "Holy Grail" of high definition resolution. However, what is the difference between 1080p and 1080i? Can you really see the difference on an HDTV screen? For more details on this check out my article: 1080i vs 1080p - Similarities and Differences Between 1080i and 1080p.
