HDTV—The Switch and You

White Plains Middle School, Room 261,

Congress has mandated that the analog transmission of over-the-air television broadcasts cease on February 17, 2009. What effect will it have on your TV watching? You think you are ready to investigate or buy a High Definition TV, but what do you need to know? Lloyd Quick, member of the Mid-Hudson Computer User Group, will talk about transmission frequencies, antennas, resolution, format, screen size, HDMI 1.3, LCD, Plasma, DLP, Front Projection, Rear Projection, Organic LED, and so forth.

A mechanical engineer, Lloyd started making memory drums and disks in 1955 for computers at Excello Corporation in Springfield, VT, and then transferred to the Walled Lake, MI, plant, as chief engineer. His hobbies are electronics and radio-controlled airplanes and helicopters.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

You can also donate time. You don't have to be a computer expert, but you must be a member of WPCUG.
