Plasma & LCD
Most modern properties will have many televisions throughout the home located not just in the dedicated cinema-room or lounge but also in the bedrooms, the kitchen, study and even the bathroom! That is why Smartcomm offer a range of different screen types and sizes to meet your every requirement.
Standard or High Definition?
Plasma and LCD devices are all called "fixed-pixel" displays because the panel has a predefined and fixed number of pixels in its display format. Knowing the number of pixels in each direction (horizontally and vertically) will tell you how sharp an image it will produce, as well as whether it will display a true High Definition TV image or only Standard Definition, both of which are part of the new digital TV standard. The pixel count will also affect the cost. Lower resolution costs less; higher resolution costs more. And just because a TV is labeled "digital" doesn’t mean that it is capable of producing a high-definition picture. Within the new digital TV set of standards, there are three levels of resolution permitted: Standard (SDTV), Enhanced (EDTV), and High Definition (HDTV).
Don’t be alarmed if this all sounds too technical to you as Smartcomm Consultants are always on hand to advise and explain the different levels of resolution.
| There are 2 main types: |
Plasma screens - large high definition screens good for mounting on brackets and walls |
LCD screens - smaller screens good for wall-mounting or pivoting brackets where mobility is important |
| There are 2 specialist screens: |
Water-proof screens - For indoor or outdoor wet environments |
Mirrored screens - Designed to disguise the television so that when not in use it simply appears as a mirror, usually located on the wall or above the fireplace. |
Our Consultants work closely with clients, architects and interior designers to ensure that all screens are integrated seamlessly into the building's structure as well as being sympathetic to the interior design.
Our specialist Programmers ensure that you can view exactly what you want and when by integrating control of the DVD player, TV, Sky and Freeview to each screen so that different people can watch different sources from different rooms any time of the day.
