TV Jargon Buster

[mrdogcat]

Anyone know where there is a TV jargon buster that'll explain what things like Image Contrast Ratio, Pixel Pitch, Brightness XXX cd/m, Pixel Response Time etc mean?

I've read up on TVs for the past month or so but there still are things I don't have a clue about.

Thanks for your help.

Wikipedia is your friend:

Contrast Ratio
Pixel/Dot Pitch
Brightness and Candelas
LCD Pixel Response Time

Of course, the most important thing to remember is that manufacturer's stated specifications are often measured inconsistently or grossly exaggerated based on certain technology "tricks" (e.g. dynamic contrast algorithms). Best thing to do is go to Comet, Dixons etc and have a look at a few TVs, side-by-side, making sure you can adjust the settings to your liking.

You in the market for a new TV then?

Wikipedia...of course!!! Thanks MuFu.

I've been reading up on them for a few months now, I'll be getting one for when I move into my new place in a couple of months.
