With your current regular color television, waves are scanned at 480i. This means that at any given time there are 480 lines of a picture being sent to your television screen by your service provider. Odd lines are displayed, followed by even lines. The change happens so quickly, the human eye believes you are seeing one big picture. With the introduction of HDTV, there are more lines transmitted (at either more than double interlaced or progressively) giving us a higher resolution and better quality picture. For an image to be HD it must have 720 lines at a minimum. HDTV is also fully digital and you won’t need to worry about the analog to digital switchover in February of 2009. Upgrading now to an HDTV will give you years of entertainment(as long as there’s something worth watching on TV, if not there are movie channels and reruns of Battlestar Galactica).

In order to enjoy the HDTV experience, you will need to introduce a few things to your home. To get started, you need:

1. A High Definition Television set with the smallest resolution a minimum of 720. If this isn’t the case the TV is only “HD Compatible”. That means it’ll downgrade an HD signal to a normal signal and that’s not what you want. High Definition television sets are available at most consumer electronic stores and online stores and they are becoming increasingly more affordable for the public. These sets are the first step in obtaining a clearer, picture that provides an experience similar to being at the football game, movie theater, boxing match, etc.

2. An HD source like satellite TV service, cable or antenna. Even with an HDTV, you may not notice any difference in normal channels. The channel must be broadcast in high definition in order to see the advanced quality in picture.

3. A way to receive the source signal (a satellite system is a great option)

Both satellite dish service and cable generally offer some HD channels, but satellite providers are able to offer more of these channels than your local cable company. Be aware that digital channels typically offered and promoted by cable companies are not the same as HD signals.

In addition to a better quality picture, you will also enjoy higher quality sound with HDTV. The digital audio sound provides even more of a movie theater-like experience in your home. It will sound like you’re in the arena when you watch a sporting event and in a movie theater when the bullets fly during an action money. To provide the best in entertainment quality in your home, HDTV is the way of the future. As more channels are broadcast in HD format your television viewing experience will improve and get better and better over a time.

Satellite providers not only offer HD channels but their other channels are transmitted via a high quality digital signal. This results in a clearer picture than the analog signal offered by many cable companies.

but you know the 3 color plug (red, white, and yellow) for the audio and video and stuff. well, will my US wii or ps2 still work in those plugs. i have the outlet issue resolved, but im not sure about the 3 color plug. anyone have a clue?

Turn off the backlight when you do not need it. Use a timer to turn it off automatically. Lower the volume for your sounds. Turn off sounds you do not need like key clicks and screen taps. Use shorter sounds when possible for notifications of events. Turn your contrast to the minimum readable display. The darker the contrast, the more power required. Remove any PC Card or Compact Flash that is not in use. Insert them only when needed. Reduce the amount of time before your PDA/Handheld PC goes to sleep. Minimize your use of IrDA (infrared) or Serial communications. Both of these require more power.

How do I perform a PDA battery test?

To perform a battery test, follow the following steps. 1. Turn off any hibernation settings. 2. Set the backlight to 50%. 3. If the device has a movie player, use it to play a movie clip repeatedly. If the device does not have a movie player, turn on the function that uses the most battery, such as the photo gallery or a word processing program. 4. Note the time you started the device, and then let it run until it goes dead. This could take several hours, so check on it occasionally. 5. Note the time the battery goes dead. Perform this test when you first get your PDA or when you replace the battery with a new one to find your baseline runtime. You can then repeat the test when you think the battery’s life is nearing an end or not charging as it should be to compare. If your test shows you have 50% or less runtime, it is time to replace your acer pda battery. You can also test your battery’s ability to charge by letting the battery fully discharge and then timing the recharging cycle. Note the time, then check later to see if your battery is taking longer to charge than it used to. A longer charge time is often a sign that the battery is nearing the end of its usable life
