Statistics say that the average household has 2.24 television sets, and each person in that household averages about four hours of television time per day. With these kind of numbers, it is no wonder that the television industry is so diverse. LCD TVs have become a staple in many households, with traditional tube televisions taking a back seat to new and emerging flat screen technology. There are many features that make an LCD television a worthy purchase, and some things to look out for before buying one.
LCD stands for “liquid crystal display,” and is true to its name. LCD TVs are praised for their dynamic pictures that deliver crystal clear picture, especially when combined with high definition programming or movies. The colors are crisp and bright, providing a real life feel to those watching. The high resolution technology used in LCD HDTV televisions is perfect for gaming, showing picture slide shows, or just sitting back to watch a movie.
Another well known benefit of LCD TVs is their unique screen sizes and shapes. Tradition tube TVs have a square screen that is curved, often providing less than perfect picture clarity, and taking up a large amount of space. The newer LCD models are light weight and thin. The screen is flat instead of curved, keeping the picture from becoming distorted while still giving the same quality to people on all sides of the room. LCD televisions also tend to come in a rectangular shape, perfect for shows that are broadcast in HD or movies.
For those that are more economically minded, the LCD is becoming the most cost efficient TV on the market. These televisions are not only becoming increasingly inexpensive, but they are also more energy efficient at home, which lowers the electricity bill. Many LCD TVs more than meet the Energy Star requirements for energy consumption, some bragging about up to fifty percent less energy.
Before making an LCD purchase, it is important to compare the features of various models to get the best quality. One of the most important factors in this purchase is the television’s contrast ratio. A good contrast ratio is 1500:1 or more. This will insure a good picture, especially on larger screens.
Another spec to look at is the native pixel resolution that the LCD TV has to offer. This is usually going to be either 1280×720 or 1920×1080. If these numbers seem confusing, it is much easier to remember that a good TV will have either 720p or 1080p native pixel resolution, with the higher number being a better quality picture.
Some things to remember when buying an LCD television is that unlike a traditional tube TV, and LCD can be either wall mounted, or set on a TV stand. If a home has an old entertainment center, or built in television shelf, there may be some adjustments to make in order to make and LCD fit into its spot. Some people opt for special media stands that are attractively small and chic, and the perfect height for television viewing. These can usually be purchased at the same store that the TV is.
Make sure you study a model and brand well before making a purchase. Find out warranty information, consumer reviews and lifetime expectancy before making a purchase. Determine an appropriate size of television for the room it will be in. A fifty-two inch LCD may look great in the store, but could be a little overwhelming for a studio size apartment. Making the upgrade to an LCD HDTV is an exciting purchase. There are many good quality TV’s available, and there is sure to be one to fit your needs.`
