With the various models available in the market, you will truly find a hard time deciding which LCD is the best. We have the Samsung 57 1080P Flat Panel LCD HDTV, Sharp Plasma TV, Panasonic Television, and the Sony KDL 40-Brx6 among the wide variety of models available today. But do not worry, help is always around. Read on and think about the following information.
First, let's decide first which product you intend to buy. Would you like to have a new set of the standard TV, or impressive Plasma, or an immensely huge LCD? It seems like a Samsung-Sony TV or LCD-Plasma commercial is needed. Still cannot decide? Let us take a look at the requirements to help you differentiate the three and decide which home-theater monitor is for you.
1. Screen size. Which size would you prefer? Which size fits your home and the location where you want to put the TV unit? Would you like to have it mounted on a wall or placed in a TV cabinet?
Standard televisions are way bulkier than Plasma TVs; but Plasma seems to be a bit bulkier than the sleek LCDs. However, Plasma appears to be more affordable than the sophisticated Liquid Crystal Display technology.
2. Image Clarity. You will buy a TV for the purpose of viewing right? So better find a unit with the best of the best picture quality. An impressive and outstanding image resolution and picture quality will be useful in other TV functionalities such as replacement for your computer monitor or for movie watching and video game playing. Find a product where you can get the best value for your money.
Look for possible defects and future complaints. A plasma television sometimes has a burn area. This is when the image sets on the screen for a long time; it tends to burn the image in the specific area. Their LCD counterparts do not have this.
On the other hand, Plasma TVs have great contrast and visibility. Although LCDs at present are already developed and have a slight and almost unnoticeable difference with the Plasma, LCDs still have some graying effect on the picture which damages the clarity of the image.
3. Angle of vision. There is a 160-175 maximum degrees of viewing angle for LCDs but note that the quality of the image decreases as the angle increases. Plasma, however, can maintain a good picture quality even at a 160 degree angle.
4. Life span. Consider the screen life to ensure that you will enjoy your money's worth for a considerable length of time. LCDs are proud of its 40 year screen life compared to the 20 year of Plasma.
5. Energy Saving. You may think that you will get Plasma because of its extremely affordable price but think again. It may come to you as cheap at first, but reviews have shown that Plasma's power consumption will drain your wallets and bank accounts. There is a tendency that you will actually pay more for the energy consumption of your Plasma as compared to buying the lcd tv itself.
So what can we conclude now? Review your needs. Then base your decision on those needs. Consider the following factors and organize your thoughts. Would you settle for a temporary form of entertainment or go with something that will last for years and years to come?
