Amazing Widescreen TV Sets

!±8± Amazing Widescreen TV Sets

Widescreen TV sets have become so popular today that its application is seen not just in homes but in other life activities as well. The wider they are the better viewing there is. The same application is seen in monitors and digital images.

It used to be that a "widescreen" TV set meant screens measuring 24 inches and up. Today, they cover a fourth, half, and even a whole wall of a house. These are flat widescreen TV sets free standing, hanging, or built-in into walls for space saving considerations. With these TV sets watching becomes more realistic as images are magnified many times over showing more vivid colors and details. It's like viewing the real thing up close.

A Problem with Standard TV Sets

Sometimes, no matter how wide screens of standard TV sets are, there seems to be an imagery problem especially with regards to the effective TV screen area. Especially when watching movies on a standard TV, people often encounter black portions on top and at the bottom of the screen so that images are a bit compressed, distorted at times, and cropped. It's because of the incompatible "aspect ratio" between images on regular TV sets and those projected from films. And this is what widescreen TV sets remedy.

Aspect Ratio

Aspect ratio is the relation of an image's width to its height. Regular TV sets have an aspect ratio of 4:3-simply put, the width is 4 units and the height is 3 units. This means the width of images seen on TV is merely one unit bigger in width than in height. Such ratio is more a square or a "box" than it is a rectangle. That's why a regular TV set is also called an idiot box. This may be okay with regular TV programs, but when viewing movies on TV there sometimes is a problem.

Movies projected from films have an aspect ratio of 16:9. The width is about double the length of the height. Rather than a square, film projections are rectangular in nature. Thus, when fitted on standard square TV sets, people see the annoying black areas on top and at the bottom of their TV screens. And this is what widescreen TV sets solve.

Aspect Ratio of Widescreen TV Sets

Widescreen TV sets have an aspect ratio of 16:9. Thus, when movies are shown on widescreen TV sets watchers get a satisfying image proportion on screen, no black areas, more realistic and un-cropped scenes, plus more details with colors and picture elements. Whole details are captured on screen and it's like being there right where the film was shot.

Even in real life, the eyes see things in a panoramic scope. People have the tendency to view everything from left to right, rather than just see a square patch of the scene in front of them. Try to close one eye when looking at something and that's what one is bound to see-a patch of a scene in front.

Widescreen TV sets are so satisfying and enjoyable because they give us a picture of what may be seen with two eyes open. They are the future and expect the old standard TV set to disappear soon.

Amazon.com Review Combining powerful performance-tracking features with a GPS receiver, the Garmin Forerunner 201 offers runners and hikers a unique way to track their exercise regimens and goals. Unlike its main competitor, Timex's BodyLink sport monitoring system, the Forerunner 201 integrates the GPS receiver into a single body (BodyLink has separate housings for watch and GPS).

At first, the device felt a little bulky on my wrist, both in weight and in size (it measures 3.26 by 1.71 by 0.69 inches). But it really is light enough (less than 3 ounces) that it felt comfortable and transparent. I did, however, position the band a bit higher up my arm to ensure full mobility of my wrist, as the length of the Forerunner tended to get in its way.

The large display--with equally large, easy-to-read characters--helps you avoid having to squint at the readout. Just a quick glance at your numbers and you'll maintain your training concentration. The six rubber buttons on the front of the chassis are easy to access (unless you're wearing bulky gloves). I easily got the promised 13 hours out of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery. At the end of the day, I'd just recharge it for around two hours and it would be ready for me the next morning.

While this is definitely a workable GPS receiver, the Forerunner is slim on overall GPS features--which is not to its detriment (think of it as a performance monitor with a dash of GPS). That said, the Forerunner was able to pick up a GPS signal just about wherever I went outside (though it had very slight hiccups in the center of downtown). But if you're looking for a full-fledged tracking device, the Forerunner isn't for you. (You'll want to start with a basic GPS unit like Garmin's eTrex.)

The Forerunner 201 has a variety of helpful tracking, monitoring, and navigational features. The History function enables you to view your workout statistics broken down by individual days, cumulative weeks, or your entire workout history (if you track different workouts during the same day, they'll be broken out as different laps). You can even view a map of your route. And much like other GPS units, you can save waypoints (called "locations" in Forerunner parlance) to mark the coordinates of a place you want to return to later.

Most interesting is the Virtual Partner mode, which enables you to set goals for a workout which will then be completed by a digital character displayed on the Forerunner's screen. You can then see how far off the time, pace, or distance you are of your virtual training buddy's; your digital character even stops when you do (though the buddy keeps on going). I found that, unless you've got a good idea as to your pace or distance, you'll have a couple of trial-and-error training sessions to get in sync with your buddy. I cut short my first attempt after my buddy got so far ahead of me that he disappeared off the screen (which I'd like to believe was not due to my woeful pace).

I was disappointed at not having the LogBook software, which enables you to keep a journal of your exercise activities (it was not available at the time of this test). But overall, the Forerunner 201 is a very useful exercise-monitoring system that will be prized by anyone involved in serious physical training. --Agen G.N. Schmitz
