14 DAY TRIAL // If you want to have the best viewing experience, then you need a wide-screen TV. This is what you constantly hear in commercials, everybody is "bragging" about their product being the best, and if you want quality, you will want their product, and nothing less. Well, what can I say, when placed in front of such statements one can easily be found in the position of having to choose from the "sentimental part of the story", "bigger is better" (unless you're talking about weight) and "you can get it at a low price", these are the elements that convince most of the people to buy a big screen TV, a plasma, an LCD TV, and so on.
But, as we grow more and more fond of the wonders of technology, hasn't a thought crossed through your mind wondering whether our own restrictions, as human beings, could stop us from experiencing the maximum out of a feeling, or a sensation? This being said, here's a thought for you, take for instance computer sound cards, all of them promote delivering the most life-like sensations through the high fidelity signal output for you auditioning pleasure.
That also implies that more than just the sound card, you must have a computer configuration that is powerful enough to cope with its processing demands, a powerful yet high-fidelity speaker system, the connection between the card and the sound system should be made out of highly pure conductive materials, such as gold, for no signal loss across the cable. It also means that the cable should be fitted with filters that prevent power spikes from being transmitted, and the sound is best listened to in a sound-proofed room, where no other interferences could take place. And say you get all of that, what happens if you can't hear the music as well as you should because you have a hearing deficit or even because you forgot to wash your ears that day, well, that wouldn't be nice, now, would it?
The same principle applies to big screen TVs, they are being marketed as such by taking advantage of our "sentimental" side, even if that means shoveling technical specifications down our throats to convince us. An independent study, however, revealed that a normal human person, with 20/20 vision, watching a 50-inch plasma TV from eight feet away would be "incapable of reliably distinguishing any detail finer than that shown on a true 720p display". The study is made by calculating the resolution of a 1080p display and by comparing it to what the human eye can perceive based on our viewing angle capability and the amount of information our brain can process. So this makes you wonder what other types of products have had "enhanced" features that are more buy-able, but that's another story.
