Essential Guide to 3D TVs

Written By admin on Friday, April 29, 2011 | 8:26 AM

3D TVs are set to become the next must-have in top notch home entertainment - sooner than later everyone will be enticed into buying one. Previously only available in cinemas, this technology is still new as a viewing option for your home.

The following guide will summarise the key factors you need to know when shopping around for a 3D TV that suits both your needs and your budget.

Best 3D Display

At the moment, you have two top choices when it comes to display quality - at the highest end you'll want a Polarised 3D Projector as your home entertainment system, or coming in second you're advised to choose Active Shutter Display 3D technology.

LCD Verses Plasma

You will need to decide whether your 3D TV is to be a Plasma and LCD model - the truth is that both options come with their benefits and weaknesses. Currently it is Plasma TVs that stands out as the best due to their refresh rates and ability to display full 1080p 3D content without negatively impacting onscreen resolution. That being said, at this time Plasma models only come in sizes of 42 inches or above, so if you're looking for the 3D thrill on a budget, LCD TVs comes in smaller sizes.

Refresh Rates

The refresh rate factor again depends on whether you have a Plasma or LCD TV.

If you have a Plasma model, you won't need to worry about the refresh rate because they all come standard with a refresh rate that is high enough to render quality 3D images.

LCD 3D TVs however vary widely in refresh rate capacities, so you need to be careful about this because otherwise you'll end up with an annoying flickering when watching in 3D. As a rule of thumb, the minimum refresh rate for LCD 3D TVs is 120 Hz, which allows a 60Hz refresh rate per eye. If your eyes are sensitive to image flickering, even this might not be sufficient so you'd have to opt for a 240 Hz LCD display. The best way forward is to try out both types of models when shopping around to see what suits you.

Also, don't fall for offers of TVs with a 480 Hz refresh rate - the truth is that the advantages of any refresh rate over 240 Hz are minimal at best to the human eye, so it's actually not worth the extra cost.

Screen Resolution Verses Viewing Distance

Screen resolution and viewing distance factors are highly important when it comes to experiencing impressive 3D viewing. For one thing, if you're sitting too far away from the TV, you won't be able to tell the difference between a 1080 pixel or 720 pixel resolution - the reason for this is that even with 20/20 vision, the human eye is limited when perceiving small details.

So, it would be pointless paying for a pricey 1080p display if you're sitting too far away to appreciate it - your best bet in this scenario would be to spend your money on a larger screen size.

Nevertheless, if you sit too close to a 720p display, you'll be irritated by being able to see the pixilation because of the lower resolution capability.

All in all, if the space logistics of your home necessitate you sitting further from the TV screen, you might as well go for the 720p display, but if you have to sit closer, you might want to opt for the 1080p display.

Conclusion

In a nutshell, unless you're an avid gadget fan who simply has to have the best and latest on the marketplace, the best all-round choice in a 3D TV would be a good quality mid to high end model with a decent sized screen, since for most people this will be more impressive than minimally noticeable improvements in 3D image technology. The main thing however is to always take the time to thoroughly research your options online, where you can narrow down a list of models that fit both your preferences and your budget. Also don't forget to read a fair amount of online user reviews so you can weed out the options that perform the worst.

Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 Rangefinder Tournament Edition

Written By admin on Wednesday, April 27, 2011 | 11:27 PM

Some golfers spend a lifetime learning how to avoid the yardage mistakes, improve their scores and be a winner. What if I tell you that you will now be able to do all this with the help of an amazing product known as the Bushnell PinSeeker 1500. This advanced premium laser rangefinder is a golfer's choice. With the help of this laser rangefinder, you can expect to read the ranges from 5 to 1,500 yards. It works efficiently to give you the exact range performance to plus/ minus one yard. This amazing Bushnell golf laser rangefinder boasts of the best features that helps it do its job perfectly.

Product Features:
  • It features selective targeting modes
  • It comes with a water resistant construction
  • It offers excellent optical quality
  • It comes with Bushnell's rain guard coating
  • It is light weighted and easy to use
It comes with a mode button which allows you to utilize the laser rangefinder in three different modes such as PinSeeker, No PinSeeker and PinSeeker with slope compensation. The Bushnell PinSeeker laser rangefinder is very easy to use even for the amateur golfer. Just turn it on, target it at the flag or any other object from which you want to read the distance. As you press the power button, it will lock on your target and read the distance accurately within a few seconds.

The innovative design and software of the Bushnell PinSeeker Rangefinder provides you the sharp distance measure even if you are a bit shaky or excited.

Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 Review:

According to Tiger Woods, the best golfer in the world, the principal trick to winning golf is being pin high. The 'experience' with which a player approaches shots is the biggest difference between an expert and amateur golfer. Thanks to the laser range finder, even the beginners can now understand the distance and hit the iron with the same confidence like a pro.

The Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 review gives you a general outline of this amazing golf laser rangefinder and results amateur golfers have achieved by using the Pinseeker tournament edition, on the course.

Just like the Busnell Pinseeker 1500 Slope edition, the customer reviews on Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 establish that it is a much appreciated and helpful tool for golfers. The non-slope edition of the product is actually the tournament sanctioned and the handicap approved edition of the Slope.

The Bulls Eye Mode evaluates the yardage to the target object directly. It has the potential of 7x optical zoom thus making the bulls-eye the best aiming method available.

The brush that comes with it de-emphasizes the forefront obstacles such as the tree branches, or bushes while pointing the green beyond the hole.

The PinSeekers allows watchful sharp pointing approaches and avoids the prospect of capturing any background targets. When there is more than one object in the target, the object that is closest will be read.

The scan mode helps to constantly revise the yardage readings while the golfer looks over the hole with the help of laser range finder. This works effectively to determine the minimum distance to carry over the obstacles.
