In late July we purchased a 50 inch plasma television for our living room, and I am hoping to get either 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound for both that television, and my home office (the computer I am typing at now).

As I stood waiting for a wheelchair accesiable taxi arrived (because we had no way of getting it home) I saw a man coming towards the till with a television that could have been no bigger than 17″. I stood there and tried to distract his attention to my direction, so he could see the massive box I had just purchased with a beautiful television inside.

Although I could see the same thing I can see on that television as I could on a portable television, the quality is so much nicer, it’s a lot brighter, and the feeling of it is just alot better, and will be even more better when I purchase two of these sound systems.

This blog post is to think about the quality of televisions and how to program them.

Plasma televisions have a gas in the back and must be kept upright, which is one of the reasons I needed to hire a taxi to get it home. This is a downside to plasma televisions.

Plasma televisions are also prone to get something called ghosts when they are not programmed correctly. Ghosts are slightly blurred areas around text on screen, and to get the ultimate smoothness then you must be able to setup a plasma television correctly. To this day I am yet to find out how to do this.

I was really suprised how easy it was to setup the television, and the television tunned it’s self in instantly. I eventually got used to the 50 inch so it doesn’t look as big as it did when I first got it. But I couldn’t now imagine myself going back to the now tiny 32 inch screen I used to have. It was be like the ultimate demotion.

Do you have a plasma television? What do you think of the quality? Drop me an e-mail and you might get your thoughts posted or shared in my live stream. I may record the screen one day and show you. The e-mail address as usual is dcrone*nospam*@inbox.com, or just can just leave a comment to this post! (remove *nospam* from e-mail address)
