SNAP is now offering HDTV!

Ready to enjoy theatre like quality from the comfort of your own couch? It is time for you to check our HDTV (high definition television). LDS flat screens, plasma and projectors in HD are all the rage! Introduced in the 1960's, HD is now really taking off! The falling prices of HD capable televisions are fueling the fad.

So what is HD? Although there are lots of different variables, the idea is simple - a better quality image on your television screen. If you want to get more specific, HD is a digital signal that uses newer technology to compress your video image while still doubling (or better) the depth and clarity of the video. This is accomplished by increasing the amount of lines that are in each image. Still undecided? Here are some benefits of HD to consider:

You just can't beat the picture quality! Enjoy deeper, richer color. HD users Dolby Digital (AC-3) format to support "5.1" surround sound. With the right programming and an HDTV with all the right components, it is like having a mini-movie theatre in your own home! Even the dimensions of HD programming are geared toward the "wide-screen" you are accustomed to seeing in the theatre! Where as SD (standard definition) televisions use a 4:3 ratio, HD programming is 16:9 - more like a movie theatre. Why not view your shows in the format they were created for? More and more content is being developed for HD. Now, you can enjoy local channels as well as special programs and sports in HD.

So grab some popcorn and get comfortable - now you can enjoy the theatre experience in your own home!
