Display Expert Alfred Poor Launches HDTV Resource Center: New Web Site Provides Guide to HDTV and Digital TV
Perkasie, PA (ContentDesk) November 14, 2005 -- Display industry expert Alfred Poor announces the launch of his new HDTV Resource Center site at http://hdtvprofessor.com. The site gives consumers access to independent and expert information on HDTV and digital TV technology. The focus is on practical information designed to help consumers make confident buying decisions and avoid making an expensive mistake. I spent the past 20 years helping millions of people make sense out of personal computer products, Alfred Poor explained. I recognized that the same problems of confusing technology and rapidly changing products and features now plague consumers trying to decide on an HDTV purchase. They are confronted by confusing and misleading information.
They need a source of expert information that they can understand and trust, so Im turning my focus from computers to the issues of HDTV and digital television. One key feature of the site is the HDTV Almanac, which provides daily posts of original content. Alfred Poor not only reports on new developments in television and home entertainment, but also explains their significance in terms that readers can understand and use. The posts are available on the site, as well as via RSS feeds. Another feature is Professor Poors Truth Patrol, which encourages visitors to send in examples of information published about HDTV products and technology that is misleading, confusing, or just plain wrong.The site is also the source for Alfred Poors self-published series of HDTV guides and reference materials. His HDTV and Display Technology Reference Card is available now, as well as his Professor Poors Weekly Price Report that lists advertised prices at major nationwide retailers.
Professor Poors Guide to Buying HDTV is scheduled for release in a few weeks.In addition to these materials, the site also lists HDTV resources that are of interest to people looking to purchase HDTVs or related home entertainment products.For a limited time, a reader survey is on the site at http://hdtvprofessor/HDTVGuideSurvey; the results will be used to shape the content on the site and in the Professor Poors Guide series. Visitors who complete the survey will receive the HDTV and Display Technology Reference Card free of charge.About Alfred PoorAlfred Poor has an international reputation in the display industry.
