LCD TV Advantages

There are many advantages of an LCD TV and if you are thinking of upgrading your TV, you should definitely consider an LCD TV. Among their advantages are:

Slimline Size
Like Plasma TVs, LCD TVs are slim, sleek and stylish. Even the biggest 50″ screens have only minimal depth and can be easily fitted around the home. They weigh less when compared with Plasma TVs of similar sizes and as a result of their light weight nature, they can be easily mounted on walls, increasing the flexibility of your viewing options.

High Resolution
LCD TVs have a higher resolution than a Plasma TV, resulting in sharper, smoother and more-detailed picture quality.

No screen burns
LCD TVs do not suffer from screen burns as they use liquid crystals and colour filters supported by a backlight source for displaying images instead of phosphors.

No glare
Images on LCD TVs look brighter and their screens are not as glossy as plasma TV screens. Moreover, the feature of anti-glare technology prevents glare, even in bright rooms.

Longer Lifespan
In general, an LCD TV will last longer than a Plasma TV or CRT. The lifetime of a television is determined by the amount of time before the lighting device loses half of it’s original brightness, known as it’s half life. The half-life of the latest LCD TVs extends past 60,000 hours. In addition, LCD TVs have the option of replacing the backlight resource when it has been worn out, providing a lower cost alternative to upgrading to a brand new TV set.

Economic power consumption
In today’s new green world, LCD TVs are environmentally friendly as they use very little electric power. Even a 65″ LCD TV screen will consume 30% less electricity than an equivalent Plasma TV. This is become plasma technology requires more power to make the phosphors glow, while an LCD simply requires sufficient power to produce it’s backlight. LCD monitors can operate on batteries for a longer time which is why this technology has been favoured for us in laptops.
