Title safe on modern HDTV’s?

[John Rofrano]

Are the title-safe areas still applicable to modern HDTV’s, and Plasma?

Yes they are. Not to the extent of older TV’s but my HDTV does not show all of the video frame that the Vegas preview does. It still cuts some of the frame off.

Great to know. Thanks.

that is true in some LCD, but in the good ones you can adjust the size to full frame and move all that information inside the viewable area.

Yes, but unless you are making it for yourself how do you know that your client has a ‘good’ tv. Better to use some safe area and play it safe, so to speak.

[Gerardo Campos]

Yep, you are right, is better work thinking in the no pro people, that way you’ll be always in to a safe area. Any way the safe area for an LCD is about 3 or 5% no more than that; in old TV’s go’s around 10% and more in the corners.
