Ahhh.  Well, in terms of television:

    480i  =   720 x 480 pixels (30 frames per second)
    720p = 1280 x 720 pixels (60 frames per second)
  1080i  = 1980 x 1080 pixels (30 frames per second)
  1080p = 1980 x 1080 pixels (60 frames per second)

However, when it comes to resolutions, there are two things to
consider:

  1) the resolution of the TV
  2) the resolution of the signal being sent to the TV

Now, there is nothing you can do about the resolution of the TV
(other than buy a different TV), but sometimes you can adjust
the resolution of the signal being sent to the TV, and sometimes
that can make a difference.  

The resolution of the signal can be controlled by whatever is
sending the signal -- a cable box, a computer, a media player,
an upscaling DVD player, a Blu-ray disc player, etc.

While my computer is 720p, our TV set is 1080p.  However,
I always feed it a 1080i signal, because that is easier for me
tolerate than a 1080p signal.

Charles,

Thanks for your info.
What the Entech detector is concerned, i don't think it is still available, searched for 20 minutes for it to no avail.
Perhaps using radio's in addition to meters is also a goed idea :
http://emfwise.com/detection.php  ( half way on the page )
What i want to measure and know ?
Measurements and knowledge remain of course always limited.
To me it is all a gamble actually.
One tries to choose wisely to get the best chances, while in the meantime weighing the expenses versus these chances.
For the purpose of increasing the chances of reducing EMF-exposure, i will consider getting the spectran NF5030, but am not sure yet as the price hits hard on my "minimum" budget.
I am a complete amateur and it is basically for myself since few of my friends take the risks from EMF really serious, and even if they would do, they can not escape as it gets worse all the time, so why scare them ? Not to think about ( unborn ) children ...
It is possible though that most people adapt somehow very fast.
Nature may outsmart even smart-meters, it is a miracle that life still goes on despite the crazy amount of relatively extreme strong man-made EMF interfering with the vital but subtle natural fields.
Nevertheless, i am focused on reducing the effects of all this technocratic tyranny without hiding in the jungle, that's the last option but also not one without dangers ;).

Marc,

How do you feed the TV 1080i, by using an attenuator for the cable signal?

Our cable is upgrading more channels to HD I  feel uncomfortable watching
the sharpness of HD TV over a cable TV signal. It's so sharp it feels harsh
to me.

Our cat seems to stress over the change in signals too.

I do use an signal attenuator outside the house, to reduce the strength
of the signal that is inside the coax cable.  However, this does not impact
the sharpness (or resolution) of the TV picture.

If you think the picture is too sharp/harsh, then you can adjust the TV
picture settings -- try turning down the sharpness, or maybe the
backlight, brightness or contrast settings.

And if that doesn't work, you can always change the output resolution
on your cable box -- downgrade it from 1080i to 720p.  That will make
everything more "blurry".

Thanks Marc - to be honest this is my  fear about the whole venture - while I would like to upgrade I am worried that I will get it home, take it out of the box and power it up only to find that I can't tolerate it ES wise and I'm not sure to what extent the shop would take it back for those reasons. Just going to have to jump and see what happens!
Thanks

I can never tell from descriptions if a monitor is going to be okay or not.
I have to actually use it to know one way or another.
Case in point -- I ordered a new monitor (Dell 24") from Amazon.com last year, and had to return it
because it was far worse than the monitor I was using before (a 26" SONY HDTV).  And I ended up buying
a second unit of my previous monitor on eBay, which of course was just as tolerable.

But for me personally, I try to buy 720p HDTV monitors (1366 x 768 resolution) with LCD
backlighting (to me, LED lighting seems "harsh" -- probably not an ES-thing, but I still don't
like LED lighting)

Apart from cutting down drastically on the time sitting behind a monitor ( earth-ing the keybord may help too ) keeping the pc at at least 3 meter / 10 feet distance and the monitor at at least 2 feet, earth-ing the monitor, shield and earth the electricity-cables nearby, and/or using an old mouse ( no usb, older ), one can shield the screen ( and mouse and keyboard even ) or buy a monitor that is supposed to be almost radiation-free.
http://staging.blockemf.com/products/home-protection/tv-monitor-shielding/personal-protection-anti-radiation-screen.html
They have a monitor too but without any specifications, also it may not be tested above 100 kHz, it does not look promising to me.
Also interesting : "clear-shield" Plastic Film
http://www.lessemf.com/plastic.html 
Look around here, they have great stuff, like protective gloves.
My problem is that sending it to europe doubles thge price somehow, in addition import duties are to be paid, very annoying.
I think about using metal-coated window-glass ( and earth it for the LF-range ).
These screens will not stop magnetic fields of course.
If anyone has any experience with making anti-radiation screens or transparant shields instead of playing the never satisfied helpless consumer, let us know.

Yes, it's always good to find places that have a good return policy.  With Amazon.com,
I just shipped the thing back put down the reason for the return as being "not what I expected".
I probably had to pay return shipping, though (?)

Hi Stefanie,

Do you mean that you haven't tried moving? I wasn't clear. How terrible it is that you are so electrically sensitive that you have to sleep in your car! I am only mildly sensitive in comparison. Fearful I could get worse when I read about people like you that suffer more than I do.I feel so fortunate that I am only mildly effected..

Best of luck for you to find just that right place where you can be comfortable and stay.

      I never tried it. I just try to learn about it, but my life is so crazy at the moment that I have problems to study it and to try out. I have no house at the moment. I sleep in a car in a National Park. It is the only place where I can recover over night. Today I got a ticket for illegal camping. I have to move on. That's what is determining at the moment my life: to find a place where I can stay without getting sick. Then I can make studies, treatments and experiments to see it make things better for me.

Hi Marc,



When I moved away from a power tower very close to my home my body had severe reactions to the move in many ways. Some were good - such as a cooling process. Others were not good, such as severe discomfort, anxiety and hyperactive thyroid returning for 3 months immediately after the move. The severe discomfort and anxiety were relieved as soon as I returned to the old house to maintain it as I not not as yet sold it.



For all practical purposes it appeared that my body was indeed going through some sort of withdrawal symptoms. I lived near the power tower for 30 years and my best guess would be that my body somehow adjusted to it, just like a body would adjust to use of drugs.Hence an addiction had occurred. I researched EMF addiction after this happened to me and there seems to be ample evidence that the body can become physiologically addicted to EMF.according to what I read.



What is your viewpoint on this? Has anybody else here experienced anything similar to this?. 



Cheryl
