| The
LCD TV (Liquid Crystal Display Television) has evolved due to
the great advancements made in flat screen monitors for desktop
computing.
Key Benefits:
1. Light enough and slim enough
to hang on a wall
2. A very large range of screens
sizes
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) television
screens are significantly brighter than most traditional picture
tube sets and offer higher picture contrast with no picture
flicker.
Screen sizes typically range
between 14" to 65" with larger sets still to come.
LCD TV screens use a backlight
system to help present a brighter image. This can lead to
loss of picture quality from different viewing angles. The
best quality screens however do allow viewing up to 80 degrees
from the centre of the display.
Positives:
A broad range of LCD TV screen
sizes at affordable prices. Slim and light, they are ideal
for hanging on walls.
Negatives:
You can get variable picture quality
dependent on your viewing angle. Lack of picture contrast
levels can lead to loss of detail in dark picture scenes.
Our Verdict:
The great improvements in picture
quality combined with falling prices has led to an upsurge
in demand for LCD TV's. The wide range of screen sizes (and
their ability to be easily hung on walls) are ideal for use
around the house both in the sitting room, the kitchen and
the bedroom.
