What it means?

Resolution refers to the number of pixels, or dots, used to create the image on the screen. Applicable to High-end televisions to measure ability to display image with millions of colours.

How it works?

The number of pixels horizontally (Lines of Resolution) by the number of pixels vertically, this is how many independent dots of colour the screen can display. Following are the types resolution available. VGA (Video Graphics Array) 640 x 480, SVGA (Super VGA) 800 x 600, XGA (Extended Graphics Array) 1024 x 768, SXGA (Super XGA) 1280 x 1024, WXGA (Wide Extended Graphics) 1366 x 768 and finally Full HD or True HD Resolution of 1980 x 1080 pixels. Full HD resolution is highest resolution available in televisions, where one can enjoy entertainment from sources displaying 1080i or 1080p signals. Currently in India we do not receive High Definition broadcast but one can enjoy it if connected to sources like Blu-ray or HD-DVD players, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Benefits

Higher the resolution better the picture quality.

What it means?

Contrast ratio is measured as the difference between the brightest and darkest colors on the screen and is associated with LCD, Plasma and projection televisions and monitors. TVs with a higher contrast ratio are considered to be better than ones with lower contrast ratios.

How it works?

There are two ways of measuring contrast ratio. The first is True or On-screen Contrast Ratio and the second is Dynamic Contrast Ratio. True or On-screen contrast ratio measures the difference between the brightest and darkest images a TV can produce simultaneously or at the same time. The ratio of the brightest and darkest images a TV can produce over time is called dynamic contrast ratio. Dynamic contrast measures the display twice, once with a dark screen and once with a bright screen. Dynamic contrast ratio is often four or five times higher than the static specification, so while comparing make sure you are considering them at equal terms. But in the end it is always advisable that you inspect competing models yourself for their contrast performance before purchasing.

What it means?

It is screen reaction time, ie the time it takes for your screen to react to any command. The pixel response time in milliseconds is the time it takes for a pixel to go from black to white and then back to black.

How it works?

In the earlier days of LCD display technology, higher response times meant that in fast moving scenes, the panel would not be able to draw each rapidly changing frame in time, and a slightly blurred, ghosting effect could be seen in some places.

Benefits

Pixel Response Times apply to LCD Televisions only, as Plasma Displays use a different type of technology. So choose LCD TV with lesser response time than 8ms.

What it means?

Aspect ratio is the width-to-height ratio of a visual image. Standard NTSC televisions have an aspect ratio of 4:3 (4 units wide by 3 units high). Widescreen televisions have an aspect ratio of 16:9.

Milestones in Photography

Milestones in Photography

Centuries of advances in chemistry and optics, including the invention of the camera obscura, set the stage for the world's first photograph. In 1826, French scientist Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, took that photograph, titled View from the Window at Le Gras at his family's country home. Niépce produced his photo—a view of a courtyard and outbuildings seen from the house's upstairs window—by exposing a bitumen-coated plate in a camera obscura for several hours on his windowsill.

Photograph by Nicéphore Niépce



Best known for his development of electromagnetic theory, Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell dabbled in color theory throughout his life, eventually producing the first color photograph in 1861. Maxwell created the image of the tartan ribbon shown here by photographing it three times through red, blue, and yellow filters, then recombining the images into one color composite.

The settling of a debate—whether, during its trot, all four of a horse's hooves are off the ground at the same time—led English photographer Eadweard Muybridge to develop the first photographs to capture the sequence of movement. In 1878, Muybridge arranged 24 trip-wire cameras along a racetrack. The resulting photos, The Horse in Motion, proved all four hooves leave the ground during a trot and set the stage for the first motion pictures.

An unknown photographer inspired legions of tornado-chasers when he captured the earliest known photograph of a tornado. The black-and-white image was taken on August 28, 1884, about 22 miles (45 kilometers) southwest of Howard, South Dakota.

Some of the world's first aerial photographs were taken not by humans but by birds. In 1903, German engineer Julius Neubronner combined an analog camera and timer, which he attached to a pigeon's neck. The German military took notice of Neubronner's innovative approach to aerial photography, and by World War II pigeons were collecting secret aerial photography for both Allied and Axis forces.

This flashlight photograph of a white-tailed doe with her fawns was among the world's first nighttime photographs of animals, shot by photographer and wildlife enthusiast George Shiras. A pioneer in flashlight and trip-wire photography, Shiras captured this shot in Whitefish River, Michigan, around 1906 using a remote-control flashlight camera triggered when an animal stepped on the trip wire.

Photograph by George Shiras



In April 1909, Admiral Robert Peary and his team (pictured here), including Inuits Ooqeah, Ooatah, Egingwah, and Seeglo and fellow American Matthew Henson, became the first explorers to reach what they believed to be the North Pole. Later studies found that Peary was actually 30 to 60 miles (50 to 100 kilometers) short of the Pole.

Underwater color photography was born with this shot of a hogfish, photographed off the Florida Keys in the Gulf of Mexico by Dr. William Longley and National Geographic staff photographer Charles Martin in 1926. Equipped with cameras encased in waterproof housing and pounds of highly explosive magnesium flash powder for underwater illumination, the pair pioneered underwater photography.

Photograph by Charles Martin & W.H. Longley



In 1912 Yale University professor and explorer Hiram Bingham was searching in the Peruvian Andes for the ancient Inca capital of Vilcabamba when he and his guide stumbled onto one of the greatest archaeological finds in history. Thanks to his photographs of the lost city of Machu Picchu, Bingham and National Geographic helped bring archaeology out of the field and into people's homes.

Photograph by Hiram Bingham



When he wandered into an Afghan refugee camp in Pakistan in December 1984, National Geographic photographer Steve McCurry captured one of the most famous portraits the world had ever seen. The Afghan girl with the haunting green eyes captivated everyone. That captivation proved, once again, the power of photography to open eyes—and hearts and minds—with a single image.
