Plasma, LCD, LED, 120hz?

Q. I have $600 to get the best 42 inch tv I can find, but I'm not sure what's most important in a TV. I know that 120hz refers to frames per second, as opposed to the normal 60hz on most LCDs, but what I dont know is are plasmas still better than LCDs, what about 120hz lcds, or led lcds? Whats the most important feature in a television? Resolution? LED? 120hz(refresh rate)? Basically, i'm just looking for advice on getting the best bang for my buck, currently browsing newegg for deals.
Michael - I thought they fixed that a long time ago with pixel scrambling and other similar features?


Answer
I just bought a Vizio 42" LED from WalMart.com. It was a little more than your budget, but the picture on the LEDs seemed a lot brighter and clearer.

How much bigger is a 40 inch LED TV?




rbkgolfsho


Currently I have a 32 inch LED TV. I plan to buy a 40 inch TV. How much bigger is a 40 inch TV?
Please don't answer with measurements. What do you think about 40 inch TV from your perspective?



Answer
A 32" TV is about 2825 sq in and a 39" TV is about 4195 sq in, thus is around 50 % larger. Thus a 40" TV would be a little larger.

I have a 37" Vizio TV in my living room, I love it but I wish I got a slightly larger model, a 40 or 42 would be perfect. I can still lift my 37" TV solo, I would think a 40" would need 2 people to lift and handle.

I think a 32" TV is fine for maybe a bedroom, but too small for much else.

HELP! HD TVs: is 1080p ONLY for Blu-Ray? Do different cable providers have different quality resolutions?




you


I want to buy my first HD TV. But I donât want to spend all that money, and âoverbuyâ, only to find out that cable providersâ HD signal is 720p. (This TV will be mostly for TV watching, and not watching DVDs). One salesman said that ALL cable providersâ HD signal is at 720p; (Comcast, WoW, AT&T U-Verse, even Direct TV/Satellite).

Weâre not going to buy a Blu-Ray player for a long time. So, does that sound right? If not, please inform me.

(i tried to check each cable providers' web pages to find out their signal, and couldn't find the info.)
Pioneer, i'm interested in your comments. i want to make an informed, intelligent buy. i'm especially interested when you say...

"..., because if you strictly limit yourself to 720p you are cutting out about 80% or TV from the list just based on that."

what do you mean when you say, "80& of TV"? i understand the quantitative value, obviously, but what does that number represent?

(also, btw, i'm finding that, for a 50" plasma, to go from 720p to 1080p, the price increase is anywhere from 33% to 45%; to me, that is significant.)

i don't want to spend 33% more for a resolution that I don't plan on using in the near future (3 years). so what you said is a key point for me.
Pioneer,
Can you please respond and clarify your comments? It would be most appreciated.
....



Pioneer,
Ok, thanks for the response and taking your time to answer. Sorry, shouldâve realized thatâs what you meant (80%). Also, sorry that I didnât mention the size. Iâm looking between 40â and 50â. Iâm 90% sure that I want a plasma.

Interesting point about game systems. However, does it matter what type of system it is? (i.e. an older, âlegacyâ system. I have a PS2, and my kids are still in diapers, so I donât plan on buying a new system for at least 5 years. I thought that only PS3 and Xbox utilize the higher resolutions. Is this a myth?)

Again, thanks a ton.
....


my price ceiling is $800, as the base cost. i guess i could go a little higher, for the right added amenity(ies).



Answer
Most TV's in bigger sizes of 32+ generally come as 1080p HD. The price difference is usually minimal between 720p and 1080p. Do not be afraid to buy 1080p, because if you strictly limit yourself to 720p you are cutting out about 80% or TV from the list just based on that.

DO NOT make the 720p be your deciding factor when buying TV. That is like buying a car based on its color or wheel size. It does not make sense.


TAKE TWO:

Here is what I mean by 80% of TV's. Lets say there are only 100 HDTV's available for purchase (for argument sake) If you want to buy only 720p TV's you will be left with only about 20 TV (down by 80 (%) from 100)

And yes you are correct that the bigger TV's have a price difference of 20-30%. Since I did not know what TV size you want to buy I assumed that you want to buy what average sales of TV's are (32"-42"), plus you have mentioned 720p (mostly more widely available on smaller sizes) so I assumed you are looking at smaller TV's.

If you tell me what price range you are considering, maybe even a TV size I can see what I can find. Also if anyone is going to play a PC or console games on the TV you will get better experience from 1080p especially on bigger screen size.


TAKE THREE:

I am not a console gamer myself, but I believe that any modern and current game systems can take advantage of full 1080p. Definitely xBox and PS3, I am not 100% sure about the others. The older games like Atari or N64 will have no where enough processing speed or bandwidth to produce 1080p quality image not even 720p. They will probably do a full screen on your new HDTV, but it will not be HD.

I see you are mostly set for Plasma. I have a website where I have many articles and guides related to HDTV only. One article compares top three flat screen technologies. Feel free to browse. You will find a contact me page there if you have any question. The website is still under construction, but it is mostly all there:

http://www.flatpaneltvinfo.com/index.php

I have done a quick search for you on amazon.com (you do not have to buy there but they have a wide selection) with all your requirements (40â+, $800-, Plasma (I included LCD and LED-LCD as well))

http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26redirect%3Dtrue%26ref_%3Dsr%5Fnr%5Fp%5F72%5F0%26bbn%3D979929011%26qid%3D1276547529%26rnid%3D1248877011%26rh%3Dn%253A172282%252Cn%253A%2521493964%252Cn%253A1266092011%252Cn%253A172659%252Cn%253A979929011%252Cp%5Fn%5Ffeature%5Fthree%5Fbrowse-bin%253A724227011%257C724228011%257C2232445011%252Cp%5Fn%5Fsize%5Fbrowse-bin%253A1232882011%257C1232883011%252Cp%5Fn%5Ffeature%5Ffour%5Fbrowse-bin%253A1232886011%252Cp%5Fn%5Fcondition-type%253A2224371011%252Cp%5F36%253A-80099%252Cp%5F72%253A1248879011&tag=flapantvinf-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

You can compare many TVâs (84) and see which one will suit you the best. I am not sure if you are comfortable buying online, just keep in mind that whatever price you find there it will most likely be more in store, plus tax on top of that.

What is the best TV for me?




HiTMANOXO


Id mostly use it for xbox 360 n ps3 n some tv im lookin for 50-52" what would be the best for under 1500


Answer
Get a Plasma. You'll get vivid colors, true blacks, deep contrast. You'll get a near instantaneous response time (0.001ms). You'll get the best TV option you can in a TV of that size and with that budget.

People will tell you that you shouldn't because of burn-in. But get a Panasonic or Samsung and you're fine. They offer anti-image retention features above and beyond the advances in the technology. Plasma stopped with the burn-in issue years ago. But it can't shake the reputation.

If you are really drawn to LCDs, then at least make sure you get some premium features for a 50" set. You will notice the advantages of having them (or see the flaws without them). So focus on 1080p and 120Hz/240Hz. If possible aim for LED LCD, though that might be above your budget.

Right now at Best Buy,

Panasonic TC-P50G10 - $1,400 on sale reg $1,600
- perhaps the best 50" TV you can own.

Panasonic TC-P50S1 - $1,200 on sale, reg $1,400.
- very strong set, but gives up some contrast to the G10

Samsung PN50B650S1F - $1,300 on sale, reg $1,600
- a solid choice from Samsung

LCDs

Sharp Aquos LC52D85U - $1,300 reg $1,700
Sony KDL-52S5100 - $1,500 reg $1,800

Again, I still recommend the Plasma, especially with your budget. I think for an LCD you would need to go down a size so you could say get a better model Sony or Samsung. Or you would need to increase you budget a couple hundred bucks at least. But I don't think you'll find any LCD that can beat the G10 from Panasonic. I highly recommend checking that one out in a store.

Is an LED tv worth $500 dollars more then an identical LCD?




RAP SUCKS


We are either gonna get the Samsung 46" LCD 1080p 240Hz for around $1,600.
OR:
Samsung 46" LED 1080p 240Hz for around $2,100?
Is it worth it?
Which will last longer, LCD or LED?

Thanks



Answer
1 ) LED ( LCD display use LED as back-light ) is improvement and RE-FINE of LCD display.
LED TV is better in color reproduction , better dark color display.that LCD display will never reach such quality. LED TV also easy to " cover / hide " away the motion blur.
total pictures quality is always much better than any LCD TV. LED TV use 40 % less power consumptions than LCD TV.
2 ) LCD display " Life Time " is 60,000 hours. basically LED TV is LCD based , Technically is should be same life time as 60,000 hours , however LED TV on the market is less than a year.still early to said any things about the total life time as this moment ,unlikely LCD TV is proofed for that. some very first generation LCD TV is still work well after 13 years. LED TV ( LED display panel ) should be reliable to too ! but no evidence yet.
3 ) if you are looking into Pictures Quality , LED TV - Samsung 46 Inc 1080P / 240 HZ is WORTH for that ,non of LCD TV able to reach such pictures quality . Samsung is leading in LED TV technologies , Samsung LED TV taken 92 % market share ( total LED TV quantity sold worldwide ).
OPTION.
for 46 inc and above big screen. Panasonic new Plasma TV is VALUE for money.
great pictures quality . 0 Response time / 600 HZ , well-suited for sports movies / programs. with out burn in issue . life time is 60,000 hours. ( Z series is up to 1000,000 hours ). technically is better than LED TV in total pictures quality .but paid less in $ !

Any LED TV about 22 inches?




i17nardy


I was going to purchase a vizio LCD TV 22 inch full HD about 500 dollars... but then I heard about this LED technology, is there any about 22 inches, dont care about the company and price. just need one that I can use for my PC, and Xbox 360...

(Is it worth getting a LED TV, and does it make a difference if its 6000, 7000 or the 8000 series if I just need good graphics, colors frames/sec?)



Answer
There are no LED LCDs below 40". The primary reason being that it would make for like a $1000 22" TV. Its just far too expensive a technology right now. In the long run it maybe become the LCD standard, and thus cheap, but for right now, its something you have to pay a huge price premium for. As such, you only find it in larger sets.

$500 for a 22" set seems overpriced to be honest. For $550 you should get a top notch 32" set. Something like a Panasonic TC-L32X1, Samsung LN32B450, or Sony KDL-32L5000.

You don't really see the advantages of 1080p in a TV of 37" or smaller. 1080p is more of an issue as you break into 40" and moreso into 50".

But as you want to use this as a computer monitor as well, I can see the possible higher expense. I would want something with DVI input, whereas a true TV will typically only have VGA at best. But I don't know about $500 for a 22" Vizio. You could get a premiere quality Dell for that price.

Dell has an amazing 23" widescreen monitor. It can do above HD resolutions. It has a color gamut of like 92% (really good). And regular price is under $500. Its the Dell SP2309W, I would recommend that highly over a Vizio. And it is a true 16:9 aspect ratio (a lot of computer monitors are actually 16:10).

The 6000, 7000, 8000 series from Samsung are all LED LCD. Again the minimum size is 40". And the prices are well north of $500. The variations between those lines isn't huge. As you go up in numbers you get some multimedia features and some better contrast results, but more often than not the 6,000 is going to have enough juice for a buyer.

Using LED Tv as a PC Monitor?




Hakan A�a


I'm using vga card Nvidia Gforce 560Ti. I have a new tv (Samsung 40ES700). When i connected my pc to tv with hdmi cable (gold socket) the screen is not good (1920X1080) .I cannot read text easily.
How can i fix this, i used windows clear text option but still same problem. I want to use my led tv as a pc monitor.



Answer
Match the TV screen's native resolution. Set the display settings on the display card to send out 1920x1080 pixels with a 60 Hz refresh rate to the TV.

If you match the TV's native resolution, then every pixel generated by the display card will correspond exactly to a pixel displayable by the TV. That will give you the best image you can get.

If you aren't matching the TV's native resolution, then the TV is scaling the image. This process "dithers" the pixels (either splitting them or deleting them as needed to make the image fit) and that can make text hard to read, especially small fonts. You won't notice this in slides/videos as much as in text.
ClearType can actually make the text worse if the display's red/blue/green subpixels are not exactly where the software expects them to be, or if the native resolution is not matched.

If 1920x1080 @ 60 Hz is not listed as one of the resolutions/refresh rates in the regular dropdown, you may find it under the "advanced" and "show all modes" section.

Why does my LED tv lag on games?




Leaha


I just bought a 55 inch un55d7000 Samsung LED television. When I play games on it, it seems like there is a second delay when I try to move in Halo. There is a game mode on it, and that fixes the problem, but when the television is set on game mode the picture quality is not nearly as good when it's on. I might as well have bought a Vizio at Walmart. Can somebody please help me fix this problem. I would like to be able to play Halo Reach with the game mode turned off. Do I have to change the Xbox settings and if I do what do I change them to?


Answer
There is no way to do what you want unless the xbox has settings which allow you to select different output resolutions. I don't have one so I don't know.

All modern digital TVs do video processing on their inputs. The TV has to figure out how to take all sorts of inputs signals and draw them on your screen. Since the input signal many times has less resolution than the display resolution, the TV has to fixer out how to display all those pixels. This is why when you turn the game mode off, the display isn't as nice looking. But the trade off is when you turn game mode off, it assumes you want to make the picture as nice as possible, which slows the display down.

Sorry but those are the choices you have.

pros and cons of an led hdtv versus an lcd or plasma?




Tim


thanksgiving day sale at walmart has a cheap led hdtv that i like, i have only had lcd hdtvs is there much a difference between the two someone explain the pros n cons of an led hdtv compared to an lcd or plasma hdtv or pros and cons of led itself


Answer
- I recommend Panasonic Plasma OR I recommend Samsung LED (better and/or expensive LED may not have the problems stated below because of additional technologies going into them). - http://reviews.cnet.com/best-tvs-picture-quality/
- Input lag for gamers: HD-TV may have more input lag if there is more processing going and how well the TV can process it. Example 1: Most PS3 or Xbox 360 video games are 720p, it would take processing power to upscale it to 1080p for a 1080p HD-TV (unless PS4 or Xbox one video games are 1080p it would be a good idea to get a 1080p HD-TV). Example 2: Interpolation and refresh rates can cause more processing too.ect = Gamer mode can turn off these processes to get less input lag.
- HD-TV viewing distance calculations: http://isthisretina.com/ OR http://www.thx.com/consumer/home-entertainment/home-theater/hdtv-set-up/ OR http://www.sony-asia.com/support/faq/47537 OR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimum_HDTV_viewing_distance
- I am not going to talk about HD-TV features like 3D or smart HD-TV. Im not going to talk about projectors. Im not going to talk about the new OLED (RGB or W) HD-TV's.

- A plasma HD-TV is sometimes called an emissive display, the panel is actually self-lighting for each pixel. The display consists of two transparent glass panels with a thin layer of pixels sandwiched in between. Each pixel is composed of three gas-filled cells or sub-pixels (one each for red, green and blue). A grid of tiny electrodes applies an electric current to the individual cells, causing the gas (a mix of neon and xenon) in the cells to ionize. This ionized gas (plasma) emits high-frequency UV rays, which stimulate the cells' phosphors, causing them to glow the desired color.
= Better contrast = Plasma's have better black levels, but worse white levels. Plasma's are a emissive display which means better brightness accuracy and better color accuracy.
= Better viewing angles = Plasma is a emissive display, it has little/no picture problems when viewed of axis (not directly in front of screen).
= Better for dark-lit rooms, but worse for bright-lit rooms = Plasma's can have screen glare and less contrast and less brightness and faded colors in bright-lit rooms, but they have little/none of these problems in dark-lit rooms. Better and/or expensive Plasma's may use less reflective glass.
= Better response times = Plasma's florescent phosphor coating in each subpixel stops glowing just a few nanoseconds after the electrode turns off (on and off) which means less lag and less ghosting.ect
= Better refresh rates = Plasma's better response times bundled with it's sub-feild drives or focused-feild drives take each of a it's pixel's sub-pixels and flashes it a number of times to create a image, the way Plasma works has little motion blur with sub-feild drives or little/no motion blur (and better brightness control, color quality, contrast.ect) with focused-feild drives. (Plasma can use interpolation for judder too).
= Worse screen size options, and worse weight (thicker), and worse manufacturer choices = Plasma is a emissive display which makes it hard to make a Plasma screen size smaller than 40 inches for HD-TV and you may not find them larger than 70 inches for HD-TV because the power consumption will sky rocket. Plasma's tend to about 10-20 pounds heavier too and are thicker but that can provide better audio quality tho. Main brand Plasma maker is Panasonic or Samsung or LG.
= Worse power consumption, and worse life span, but better burn in, but worse high altitudes = A plasma can cost on average around $50 a year more. A Plasma can easily last 10 years and much more. Newer Plasma's have burn in technologies that make really hard or not possible to have permanent burn in, but there sill a chance you could get temporary burn in (even tho it's harder to do now). Plasma may not work in really high altitudes and if it does the TV would create a buzzing sound.
= Price = Plasma is more expensive to buy than LCD, but Plasma is less expensive to buy than LED. Plasma does not cost that much to make.

- An LCD HD-TV is sometimes referred to as a transmissive display, the panel has sections of lighting for a section of pixels. Light isn't created by the liquid crystals themselves; instead, a light source behind the LCD panel shines through the display (CCFL LCD or LED LCD). A diffusion panel behind the LCD redirects and scatters the light evenly to ensure a uniform image. The display consists of two polarizing transparent panels and a liquid crystal solution sandwiched in between. The screen's front layer of glass is etched on the inside surface in a grid pattern to form a template for the layer of liquid crystals. Liquid crystals are rod-shaped molecules that twist when an electric current is applied to them. Each crystal acts like a shutter, either allowing light to pass through or blocking the light. The pattern of transparent and dark crystals forms the image.
= Worse contrast = LCD's have worse black levels, but better white levels. LCD's are a transmissive display which means it is edge-lit or full-array-lit and it also uses local dimming (aka backlight-flashing/scanning) which turns off sections of CCFL or LED which means you can get brightness uniformity problems (brightness leaks into areas and you can see the brightness changing to make up LCD's bad contrast and slow brightness changes.ect) which means less brightness accuracy and less color accuracy .ect (Better and/or expensive LCD use LED lights and more emissive local dimming display and more advance technologies to get a picture as good or better than a Plasma).
= Worse viewing angles = LCD uses a CCFL backlight or a LED backlight (transmissive display), and the LCD pixels act like shutters (and the red, green, blue filters), opening and closing to let light through or block it, this shutter effect causes increasing variations in picture brightness as viewers move further off axis (not directly in front of screen) which means you may notice that the picture looks less bright and vivid and you might see slight changes in color too (IPS > TN).
= Worse for dark-lit rooms, but better for bright-lit rooms = LED or LCD have the most light coming off from their screen which may strain your eyes in a dark-lit rooms, but they have little/no screen glare and little/no picture problems in bright-lit rooms.
= Worse response times = LCD'S liquid crystals take longer to change from on or off (switch around) which means more lag and more ghosting.ect
= Worse refresh rates = LCD's have more worse response times bundled with it's refresh rates which use backlight-flashing/scanning or fake interpolation frames (for judder too) or just repeat the same real frames which help reduce motion blur, but does not eliminate motion blur.
= Better screen size options, and better weight (thinner), and better manufacturer choices = LCD is a transmissive display which makes it easier to make a LCD screen size very small like around 20 inches and you may find them larger than 70 inches because they use less power consumption. LCD's tend to be about 10-20 pounds lighter too and are thinner (edge-lit displays are even thinner) but that can provide worse audio quality tho. Many brands of manufacturer to choice from.
= Better power consumption, and better life span, and little/no burn in, and little/no altitude problems = A LCD or a LED can cost on average around $50 a year less. A LCD or a LED can easily last 10 years and much more.
= Price = LED is more expensive to buy than Plasma, and LED is even more expensive to buy than LCD. LED and all the advance technologies going into them make cost more to make, but that's why there is budget LCD versions instead.

Siucra


I'm thinking of buying this TV (link below). I've read some reviews and all seems good except some people complain about the quality of the sound system. How bad is it? I don't expect exquisite sound for this money but I don't want to buy a new TV using really outdated technology that will sound worse than what i'm used to (a 5-6 year old 37" SONY). Also does the price seem right? Any help or comments greatly appreciated.

Answer
LG 42LS5700 42-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED-LCD HDTV with Smart TV is an OK TV. If I could, I'd give it 2-1/2 stars. The LS5700's selling point is supposed to be the "smart" features that let you connect to the Internet, get content from Netflix, Hulu Plus, etc. and share content from other devices in your network. It does have a nice crisp HD picture after you tweak the color settings, and so-so sound, as expected.

Okay well I've looked at alot of tvs and I can't decide so I was wondering on reliability for sports and gaming. I have asked family and they like there plasma but some friends say that LCD is the way to go so I would like personal experience form someone who has owned both types and see what you say. Thanks in advance


Answer
You can count on me if you would like because I went through the same experience like you. I was suggested to buy a plasma TV three years ago and it would cost me HKD 30,000 but I decided not to go for it. Nearer the time, our govt promoted digital broadcasting and therefore I have to consider again buying a new TV. According to my research, the most modern technique is LED id TV. It is cheaper than some LCD TV for some brands. If between LED and LCD TV, LED saves more energy but id TV is on the popular side. Some TV model is compatible with LED with LCD and contains idTV technology but this cost one third of the price of a plasma TV. A common LED id TV nowadays is but half of the price. One thing of concerns is if your family have very elderly users then you will have to teach them how to use the remote control because this is modelled on the usages of computers. Therefore those old folks who have never or few experiences of new technologies might find it hard to watch the TV. You will have to spend time, perhaps again and again to get them use to the buttons and usages of the TV.

I want to buy a new tv but i dont know what to get. I am a gamer so i need one good for gaming. But i also want to get a tv that is good for watching movies and has good view for just regular tv watching so what one is the best for all of these. plz answer thanks


Answer
There are a few different types of TVs including: Plasma, LCD, LED, and 3D. The technology in TVs was released in that order, plasma being the earliest technology and 3D being the most current technology. I recently watched an electronics trade show where they talked about a new TV technology, which they are calling 4D. This new technology would allow you to view TV and movies in 3D without having to wear the glasses required for the current 3D TVs.

In terms of the type of TV to buy... I personally would not buy a plasma. When you hear people talking about a TV burning out or an image being burnt on the screen, they are most likely talking about a plasma. Plasma's, as they are the oldest technology of the flat screen TVs, tend to have lower quality and do not last as long.

At this point in time I also would not recommend a 3D TV. For one, you have to wear bulky glasses in order to take advantage of the 3D feature. Also, the new 4D TVs are rumored to have a release date of later this year.

LCD and LED are the two TV technologies that I would recommend. LED TVs have the highest screen quality and the best picture. LCD is the predecessor to LED and also have great quality, but not near as sharp or crisp a picture as an LED. I would recommend heading down to your local electronics store and looking at an LCD and LED side by side. If you cannot tell the difference in the picture then go with the LCD, since it will be much cheaper.

The big things to look for when buying a TV:
1080p vs. 720p - This is representative of the screen resolution. Essentially, the higher the screen resolution, the less grainy the picture will be. This especially applies to larger TVs since the larger the screen gets the more the picture is stretched. If the resolution is too low the screen will appear grainy. GO WITH 1080p.

60Hz vs. 120Hz - This is the TVs refresh rate or the speed of the TV. If the speed is low and you're watching a fast paced movie or sports game, the picture will be blurry because the movement is faster than the TV. 120Hz

Brand: Whatever you do, don't buy a TV that's really big and cheap and is an off-name brand. Stick to the well-known brands. Samsung, over the past few years, has received the highest reviews for their TVs, although they are on the expensive side. I would recommend Vizio, which also received good ratings, but is a more affordable choice.

If you Budget is low ! Sony and Samsung LCD TV both equally good quality / reliable.but both make Standard entry lever / mid-end / hi end LCD model. please compare to the same range of model. prices is main issue !

What kind of HDTV is better: Plasma, LCD , LED, etc.?




FSPT_Tech


I want to buy an 40" - 46" HDTV (1080p) for my home to replace my 10 year old 40 " CRT TV. I've seen different types out there: Plasma, LED. LCD. What's the difference and which is considered best (quality-wise). Any references to links that explain the different types of TVs on the market now. I'm just now able to afford getting into 21st century technology and would like some help.


Answer
Confused about what type of TV to buy? LED LCD Plasma.. How to choose?

After all, there are so many acronyms and buzzwords to wrap your head around, such as 1080p, 120/240Hz, 24p, HDMI and LED backlighting. Huh?

Along with deciding how big a screen you want (which is usually tied to the size of your budget and the dimensions of your room), the next choice should be between LCD.LCD (LED Backlit) or Plasma â and all have their merits. Here, we'll describe each of these formats, and also point out their shortcomings.

LCD

What is it?
lcd tv 120mhzSimilar to your laptop computer's monitor, flat-panel LCD televisions use a liquid crystal display to produce a sharp and bright picture; these crystals are sandwiched between two panes of polarized glass, which are stimulated by an electric current and illuminated by fluorescent tubes housed behind the glass. Some newer LCD TVs, however, use LED-backlighting instead. LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, translate to a better-looking picture (see photo).

Pros
There are a number of advantages to buying a LCD televisions. For one, with more than three-quarters of all televisions embracing this technology, there is a lot of choice when it comes to manufacturers, models and sizes (13- to 103-inches, in fact). Competition, of course, breeds more aggressive pricing, too, which is good news for the consumer.

Flat-panel LCD televisions are also very thin, light and energy efficient, and are ideal for rooms with plenty of ambient light, which, for example, comes through large windows as they tend to absorb rather than reflect light (reflected light can obscure your view of the screen).

Cons
Until recently, LCD TVs didn't handle fast motion images as well as plasma TVs, resulting in a somewhat blurred image. Newer LCD TVs, though, have added technologies such as 120Hz frame doubling (or 240Hz frame quadrupling) to smooth out motion. It's still not as good as plasma, but much better than before. Also, LCD TVs used to have problems showing dark blacks (because a light was still on behind the pixel showing black, resulting in a more greyish hue). Many LCD televisions today use local-dimming with LED-backlighting (see next section) for improved contrast ratios (whiter whites and blacker blacks) - but, keep in mind, this is not an issue associated with plasma TVs.

LCD (LED Backlit)

What is it? Not a Different Type of TV

led lcd tv backlighting backlitItâs tempting to think LEDs belong in a completely separate category beside LCD and plasma TVs, but in reality, an LED television is just a type of LCD TV. The proper term would really be "LED-backlit LCD TV," but that always seems to get truncated to "LED TV" in everyday conversation, perpetuating the confusion.

To understand how LEDs function in an LCD TV, think of an actual liquid-crystal panel as the plastic pegs in a Lite Brite. They hold a translucent image, but without a powerful backlight to punch through and light it up like a signboard, youâre not going to see much. On your old Lite Bright, an inefficient incandescent light did the job, but pretty unevenly. On a typical LCD TV, fluorescent lights provide the backlighting through a special plastic sheet called a light guide that distributes light from a fluorescent tube evenly over the surface of the TV. On an LED-backlit TV, fluorescent tubes are replaced with light-emitting diodes â LEDs â the same technology that probably lights up your digital watch, the buttons on your monitor, and the indicators on your stereo. They can be either situated along the edges of the TV like a fluorescent tube, or arranged directly behind the screen in a grid. But what difference does it make, and why would anyone spend so much money on it?

The Benefit of LEDs

The most obvious reason LEDs have fallen into favor in LCD TVs: theyâre simply more efficient. Although fluorescent lights do a decent job converting electricity to light in the big scale of things, LEDs perform even better. Typically, manufacturers claim an efficiency improvement of up to 30 percent over fluorescent-based sets, which can add up significantly over the lifetime of a TV, especially on larger screens that use more juice to begin with.

LEDs are also much smaller than tubes, even after accounting for the number of them needed to light an entire TV. That means LED-backlit televisions can be manufactured significantly thinner than their tube cousins. For instance, most of the ultra-thin televisions that measured under an inch thick at CES used LED backlights, because they add very little depth to the profile. Though commercial variants arenât quite as dramatically thin as these prototypes, theyâre significantly skinnier than their fluorescent-backlit counterparts, making them some of the most chic and living-room-friendly HDTVs out there.

For home theater enthusiasts, LEDs only matter for one reason: image quality. Because fluorescent tubes mu

what is the best led tv?




a


I am looking for a led tv to buy and need some information on whats out there? Something in the 50in to 60in range with excellent picture and sound.


Answer
Oh good luck with that one. I have been doing expensive research on the very same thing. Many experts will tell you that if going with an extra large HDTV, plasma is the logical choice. Plasma is considerably cheaper that LCD in the larger sizes and offers better picture quality. When manufacturers sit at the drawing board to design a new LCD TV they decide what they expect for performance based on roughly a 45" TV. A good analogy for what I am trying to say is when you buy a 1/2 ton pickup a smaller engine will work perfect for it but if you upgrade to a big ol four door 1 ton truck you expect it to come with a bigger engine right? A 60" LCD has to provide it's picture from the same "engine" as the 45". Hope that makes sense.
With all that said, CNET, the leading expert on electronic technical review recently retested the very best picture quality TV's in the world. Panasonic's high end plasma's from last year. They released a message stating that in only 1500 hours (1 year) the picture had degraded so much they could no longer recommend the product! Talk about throwing a wrench in the works!
Last week as I was at my electronics store (which happens to be my Navy Exchange) they were pulling a brand new TV out of the box to put on display. It was the brand new 60" Sharp Aquos Quattron Quad pixel LED TV. The moment they turned it on I was sold. Absolutely amazing television. Good luck in your search my friend.

What is the best store to by a LED-TV?

Q. I would like to buy a new TV, but don´t know where I can get the best overview and information. Thanks for your help.


Answer
Use the Internet for general information on LCD/LED and plasma TVs. Once you get a general idea of the type TV you want, visit a store like Best Buy or Costco that has a lot of them operating as demonstrators. Write down the make and model of anything you like, then check out their reviews on the Internet at sites like Amazon and others.

For the best place to buy it, my choice is Costco, but only after you've done the homework above. Once you know the make and model you want, and it's in stock at Costco, buy it there. The reasons:

1. 90 day no-questions return privilege. If the set disappoints you for any reason, bring it back for an exchange or full refund. (Save your receipt and all the packaging.) I've done this--it works.

2. Costco doubles the manufacture's warranty, which usually means two years instead of one.

3. Costco gives you free technical support for a year, with a 24 x 7 phone number.

That first item has proven to be the most important. So far as I know, no one else offers a return policy like that except possibly for Sam's Club. You can hardly go wrong.
