TV Display Chip

[zadok]

Graham,
It looks good, but here in the States analog TV is going to go away early next year, although a lot of analog sets will still be working using converters for some years to come I imagine.

I'm curious to know how you are reading the kilowatt hours, it looks like a neat project.

Thanks,

Jerry.

As I understand it, just as is happening most places, old analog transmissions over the air are being phased out, but TVs will still accept PAL/NTSC signals otherwise nobody could view a DVD for a start.

Do US TV sets generally have RGB inputs or just a composite video? Most European TVs will display NTSC signals as well as PAL, I think that NTSC sets will probably display PAL if the signal is fed in at an RGB/sync level. I need to check on this!

Reading the KW/h - it's projected from reading a PV solar cell and multiplied up depending on the size and type of solar panel being considered. Wind power is worked out by counting pulses from an anemometer.

Most older U S Televisions do not even have composite video
only antenna connections, most VCRs do have composite video, a few may have RGB. The media lobbies are very powerful here and have caused U S sellers of equipment to lag behind the rest of the world in giving U S consumers the power to manipulate video, they fear profit loss if we have that power. Look Digital sound recorders were kept out of American hands for years, only recently have we had that technology in hand. As a result we bought the same music over and over, vynal,4 track, 8 track, cassette, CD . . .Money talks BS Walks!
