Super thin form factor
More details on LCD TVs:
LCD televisions tend to be clearer than CRTs which can suffer from convergence or
focus difficulties. Their improved clarity means that even small LCD televisions
can display higher resolutions than the corresponding sized CRT. They also make
small text easier to read.
Resolution
An important factor for LCD televisions is resolution. The number of pixels
horizontally and vertically defines a tv's resolution in pixels or dots per
inch (ppi or dpi). The greater the resolution, the more information or image
you'll be able to view at once and in general, the sharper the image. Unlike CRTs, LCD televisions have only one optimal
resolution. For optimum picture quality, make sure your LCD TV is set to the suggested resolution.
Power Conservation
To reduce your electric costs, look for a monitor that is Energy Star
compliant. LCD TVs use considerably less energy than CRT sets.
Emissions
Most LCD TVs are certified as low emission which means the level of electrical and magnetic emissions is low compared to standards set for comparable sets.
Viewing Angle
One of the primary drawbacks of LCD televisions when compared to CRTs is the
limited viewing angle they sometimes provide. Be sure to check the TV you are considering by viewing the screen from several angles to make sure the picture is not washed out or distorted. Newer LCD TVs have largely fixed this issue.
Brightness
The brightness of LCD television sets is very important. In general the brighter a set is, the better.
Positioning
LCD televisions are typically thin, and relatively light weight. As a result, LCD TVs may be easily moved, tilted or even hung from the wall in many cases.
In conclusion, LCD TVs now offer some of the best pictures available and prices are dropping rapidly. Larger LCD televisions are being offered seemingly each month. Before you purchase your next TV you will see that LCD TVs compare favorably in price, picture quality, size, and weight to plasma and DLP tvs.
