Choosing the Best LCD TV for You

Posted by boyberm on May 5th, 2008

You have done all your research. You looked up LCD, Plasma, and every other type of television on the market to day, and you have made your decision. You know that you want an LCD television, and all that is left is the buying. However, choosing the best LCD TV for you is still something that requires work. First you were comparing LCD to other technologies, but now it is time to get a feel for how to get out there and buy your LCD as you compare it to other LCD televisions. Here are some tips on shopping for and choosing the best LCD TV for you.

Get the Right Size

When choosing the best LCD TV, you need to figure out what size is going to work best with your budget and the room where the television will go. LCD screens’ quality is often related to its size. Go much over 35 inches and you may find yourself with colors that are slightly off or faded. Though this is improving, it is worth considering.

In order to choose the right size, you should consider what the right distance is between where you sit and where your television screen is. So, check out the room where your television will be, how far you will sit from the potential location, and what size will work best for that situation. If you are up to five feet away, a 20 to 27 inch model will work, if you are back 6 to 8 feet, then 32 to 37 inches are best, if you are 10 to 14 feet away when viewing you should consider a 42 to 46 inch screen, and if you are as much as 16 feet away, then 50 inches will be your best bet.

Once you have established what size of LCD TV you need, you can look for the other factors. Make sure you get something that will work with your HD setup. Half the point of getting an LCD TV is to be able to watch television in HD. So double check to make sure you know what you need and how to connect it with your cable’s HD services before you buy.

Finally, look at warranties. Choosing the best LCD TV is a lot easier when you know problems can easily be taken care of. Talk to the sales person wherever you decide to buy and make sure you understand the total warranty. Make sure, also, that you buy from an authorized dealer so that you do not have your manufacturer warranty voided over a technicality.

Choosing the best LCD TV for you means doing a little more homework. You must find out what size is going to work best in your room and for your viewing, you have to make sure everything is compatible, and finally you have to make sure you get a good warranty. If you do all of these things, you will have the best LCD TV for you.

LCD Repair

Posted by boyberm on May 5th, 2008

It is usually thought better to repair LCD parts than to replace them. The reasons are manifold. Monitors and terminals last over ten years. In the case of LCD screens, the lifetime is even longer. The malfunctioning of a tiny part can make a monitor redundant. If the main transformer or the tube fails, then replacing the entire TV is logical. If not, then repair is the cost-effective alternative. Terminals and monitors hold heavy metals that are potentially dangerous, so repairing is also a more environmental friendly thing to do. And, most importantly, repairing costs a lot less than the purchase of a new electronic component.

The most common failing of an LCD monitor is dimming of the backlight after substantial use. However, for about $20.00, the backlight can be replaced and the monitor restored to its former self.

Nowadays, there are highly competent, anti-reflection polarizer films available in the market. This polarizer film when applied to the LCD screen increases display contrast as well as readability. Images become sharper and clearer; the screen provides deeper colors; it allows for a wider viewing angle in bright settings; and protects LCD panels from scratches and fingerprints.

The flat panel in the LCD television makeup is the most exorbitant item to replace. In fact in some cases, it could exceed the cost of the total unit. Split or broken LCD panels obviously need replacement. Another sigh of a flawed panel are lines running the length of the panel. Still, three quarters of such panels can be repaired.

LCD TVs

Posted by boyberm on May 5th, 2008

Liquid crystal display television or LCD TV uses LCD TFT technology, more often than not, for visual output as opposed to the conventional cathode ray (of the original TV) or plasma technology.

LCD television initially faced problems entering the market, particularly when it came to viewing fast paced action. Also, the viewing angle was rather limited. However, with the advancement in technology, these problems have more or less been wiped out. Today LCD television commands a burgeoning market, especially in the Asian region.

For quite a long time, the general consensus was that the technology used for LCD television was appropriate for small televisions only, and would invariably fall short of plasma technology when it came to bigger televisions. However giant corporations like Samsung, Sharp Corporation and LG Philips have challenged this notion by coming up with LCD televisions with distinctly large panels. 40″ to 45″ televisions were widely in the market a year ago. Sharp Corporation has successfully produced a 65″ panel LCD television. In 2004, Samsung and Sony joined hands to build a factory, with the intention of manufacturing 60,000 panels every month. In 2005, Samsung proclaimed the successful completion of an 82″ HDTV TFT panel. It is believed that the LCD market is potentially worth billions of dollars, and television is seen as the main market.

TVs based on S-PVA LCD panels produce good viewing angles. They also give sufficient
“contrast ratio” for viewing scenes that are bright, as well as dark scenes in bright conditions. Also “dynamic contrast” technology improves contrast when one is viewing dark scenes in dark conditions. Also, there are LCD televisions that throw light on the background to help make dark scenes look darker.

Today, LCD televisions are offering greater viewing angles and better quality images. LCD televisions can also be deemed direct competition to the fashionable plasma televisions. However, LCDs are distinctly lighter and comparatively more durable.

LCD technology is “non-emissive”, in that it does not give off radiation like conventional televisions. Furthermore, their operation requires less power than plasma or CRT technology.
