• This (Broadband Local Area Network) is a brand name for a feature that allows the TV to communicate with most Pay-Per-View

providers. It will eliminate the need for a LBT-44C terminal box LodgeNet box.

• LCD – LED – Plasma

• These are different types of TV manufacturing. LCDs use fluorescent lighting for the backlight source, LEDs use Light Emitting

Diodes for their light source and a as consequence are much thinner that standard LCDs. Because LED-LCDs are so thin, they

often do not have very good speakers and thus sound quality is compromised. Because of their weight and dimensions LED/LCDs

are less expensive to ship. Plasma is a gas that is sandwiched between two pieces of glass and is a very different technology than

LCD. Plasma TVs use a little more power but are very good for fast motion video. They are often the least expensive to make in

very large panels (over 46”). Plasmas are susceptible to failure at higher (5000 ft +) elevations. Plasmas should never be shipped

or stored flat. This can easily damage these units.

• Channel mapping, Channel ring, Channel labeling

• Channel mapping and channel rings are synonymous terms. Channel mapping give you the ability to set up your channel lineup in

the fashion of your choosing, grouping news, sports or local channels in sequence. Channel labeling gives you the ability to

display 4-ABC and not the default of KOMO, for example.

• 60Hz - 120Hz - 240Hz

• This is a TV refresh rate or the “speed” of the TV. The faster the better? Not necessarily so. When flat panel HDTVs were in their

infancy, they suffered from motion blur. LCDs in particular tended to display distinct blurriness during very fast on-screen

movements because of "ghosting or mouse trails". Tastes can vary, and you might enjoy the potential judder-reducing, motion-

smoothing effects of an HDTV with 120Hz or 240Hz modes. Because of the way filming is produced and our eyes are

accustomed to certain frame rates, a 120Hz video can have more of a soap opera look and they certainly shouldn't be considered

deal breakers when you're shopping for HDTVs. There are very few 120Hz TVs in the hospitality space and those that are selling

at a huge price premium.

• 720p – 1080i – 1080p

• Interlaced, as in 1080i is a similar resolution quality to 720p. There are 720p (progressive) and 1080p TV sets in the market.

Rarely do you find 1080p in a TV as small as 32” (it’s a waste of technology and expense). In my opinion, the importance of

1080p is a bit overrated for a guestroom. If your guest is a true videophile, the guestroom lighting is set up for proper viewing,

there is a clean clear HD signal/content, the TV is calibrated correctly and the guest is at the optimum distance to the screen then

the resolution of 1080p might be appreciated in a smaller set. 1080p is best in 42” and greater but again, calibration and a good

quality signal are critically important.
