LCD TV Buying Guide

What is it LCD? The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) tv has evolved from the great advancements made in flat screen monitors for desktop computing.

1. Light enough and slim enough to hang on a wall

2. A large range of screens sizes

Screen sizes typically range between 14" to 65" with larger sets still to come.

The screens use a backlight system to help present a brighter image. This can lead to loss of picture quality from different viewing angles. However, manufacturers are making big advancements in this area as they recognise that LCD technology will become the most likely television of choice.

LCD TV Positives:

A broad range of screen sizes at affordable prices. Slim and light they are ideal for hanging on walls. Most models are HD Ready.

LCD TV 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.

LCD TV Verdict:

The great improvements in picture quality combined with falling prices has led to an upsurge in demand for LCD tv's. The smaller screen formats (and their ability to be easily hung on walls) are particularly ideal for personal use around the house away from the sitting room.
