Why do we need digital television and radio? The basic answer is vastly improved picture and sound quality and the ability to use all the screen space offered by widescreen television sets. It’s a worldwide advance and although at the moment Australia broadcasts in both digital and analog signals, the push is on to go completely digital. Progressively, for the next three years, analog TV signals will be switched off and unless you have a set capable of receiving digital, you will have to upgrade to one with an in-built digital tuner or invest in a digital set-top box.
Confused by the alphabet of flat-screen television terms such as LCD and LED? Advances in technology give us better products but it also means researching and shopping something so seemingly simple as a TV can be very difficult. We thought there was just a choice between LCD and plasma but now you can buy a LED/LCD set. In an LCD monitor, liquid crystal is compressed between sheets of glass and the image is created when the crystals, backlit by a fluorescent lamp, are stimulated by electricity.
