I love my remote control. Thank you Nikola Tesla!

[TV Squad] I love my remote control. Thank you Nikola Tesla! Posted Jul 4, 2005, 3:02 PM ET by Bob Sassone Filed under: HDTV, DVR, Video, Industry, Cable/Satellite I have a theory that one of the big reasons this country has gotten increasingly fat over the past four decades isn't because of high carbs or high fat or giant portions of food. It's because we're so remote control crazy! Remember the days (and anyone under 25 probably doesn't) when we actually had to get up from our couches and change the channel on our televisions?

HDTVs: Sharper, Bigger, Better

HDTVs have high resolutions that yield incredibly lifelike pictures, wide screens to accommodate the 16:9 aspect ratio of HD programming and DVD movies, and Dolby Digital decoding for theater-quality audio. Here are the choices--flat-panel or projection, you can't go wrong.

Flat-panel LCD TVs: LCD flat-panels offer bright, crisp picture quality, are highly energy-efficient, have 60,000-hour life spans, and come in a range of screen sizes, though all under 50 inches.

Flat-panel plasma TVs: Plasma flat-panels have extremely accurate picture detail, high brightness, wide viewing angles, and large, wall-mountable screens--from 37 to over 60 inches.

Projection TVs: Your big-screen choices are CRT, LCD, DLP, and LCoS. The first two are tried-and-true technologies; DLP and LCoS are hot microdisplay technologies that provide superb picture detail and brightness in lighter-weight cabinets.
