TV land adventures
Posted in Hardware on May 10th, 2010 by abRecently, my wife and I purchased a new television. It was fun to browse and explore all the new acronyms, but in truth my knowledge of televisions is a bit sub-par. The thing was, I was pretty happy with my CRT (cathode ray tube – the technology behind the pervious generation of TVs and those big clunky monitors). The problem, as is always the case with technology, was that I wanted more than my old box could deliver – HDTV (High Definition Television) was calling… I am not qualified (even after my shopping research) to give you the full scoop on HDTV. All I can tell you is that HD TVs use a connector called HDMI and that each of these cables runs about $40 – which is just stupid as you need one for each device you want to attach… (editorial, yes, but does that mean it’s untrue?)
