The ZenBeam picture looks natural, has good color and provides 100% of the immersive quality that makes projection so addicting. You won’t worry about that when you see the big, bold projected image, then remember it was under $250 and you will never have to change any expensive lamps.

Given this it can’t compete with the sharpness of a 720p or 1080p projector. The ZenBeam E1 has WVGA resolution, which is between standard definition and high definition. These specifications alone make it noteworthy, but what makes the ZenBeam E1 special is the picture quality, which is surprisingly good given its size and price. It sells for only $249 and has an LED light source so there are no expensive lamps to replace. It’s a nice combination to use with this week’s holiday product highlight, detailed below.Īsus ZenBeam E1: The Asus ZenBeam E1 is a pocket video projector with an HDMI port, built-in speaker and a 5-hour battery. The interface and operation are not state-of-the art, but once you learn your way around the menus and remote you will be able to tune, record and watch pretty easily.Ĭombine it with a $40 antenna and a $20 64 GB USB stick and you have a system that can receive and record over-the-air HD video for under $100.

Buying a premium TV from a company like LG, Samsung or Sony might get better results, but there is no way to know for sure without trying it in your specific situation.īefore you buy a new TV, why not try an external tuner, like the Mediasonic HomeWorx HW-150PVR or HW180STB? Both work as a tuner and digital video recorder that record full high definition programming to external USB drives. I don’t know of any tests or ratings of the tuners in individual TVs.
Which of the new TVs has the best tuner?Ī. We now can no longer get all the stations we did before. Our old TV died and we replaced it with a 39″ Vizio. I have a cabin in the middle of nowhere and we use a big outdoor antenna to receive TV. Viewers with a widescreen TV can use the picture size/aspect ratio controls on their remote to stretch the anamorphic widescreen picture to fill their screen from side to side and top to bottom.ġ6:9 SD channels usually pad 4:3 pictures with black bars on each side, but I have seen instances where the broadcaster stretched a 4:3 picture to fill the entire frame from side to side and top to bottom, in which case viewers with a widescreen TV can use the picture size/aspect ratio controls on their remote to squeeze the picture back into 4:3 aspect ratio.Q. I can't recall seeing an instance where an HD broadcaster stretched a 4:3 picture to fill the entire frame from side to side and top to bottom instead of padding the sides with black bars.Ĥ:3 SD channels may pad widescreen content with black bars at the top and bottom to fill a 4:3 frame or they can use something called anamorphic widescreen, where a 16:9 picture is squeezed horizontally to fill a 4:3 frame. If you see black bars, they were deliberately added by the broadcaster as padding to create a picture in the resolution used by that channel. For one thing, they are uniformly 16:9 aspect ratio. There are fewer display issues with HD channels. You would need to look at a recording using a video editor to find out whether or not they are part of the picture as broadcast, and maybe also use MediaInfo on the file containing the recording to find out the aspect ratio and video resolution used for the broadcast. The black bars may be added by the HW180STB for output over HDMI or they may be present in the broadcast. They definitely don't do the job as well as most TVs do when the TV is directly displaying an OTA broadcast. NTSC, ATSC, 8-VSB, CLEAR-QAM The picture formatting performed by the HW180STB (or any other set-top box) for display over HDMI often complicates matters. In addition, when the image is only in the center, the people look too tall and narrow, as if the image is squished into the center. So does this mean the TV ALWAYS automatically stretches the image to fit the entire 16:9 widescreen, but the HW180STB does not? The odd thing is that it never ever shows space on the sides normally, when NOT getting it's video image from the HW180STB. Great if you want fatter faces and bodies etc. Many, especially younger people, who have grown up only with wide-screen tvs, can not handle this and seek to stretch that image to fill the screen. The other thing is that the correct way to view a 4:3 transmission/recording is to have the picture centered with black bars left and right.
