LCD tvs Boast Rapidly Improving Benefits

In the modern television electronics filed, the landscape is constantly changing and what was true just a few months ago may not be true now. As HDTV broadcasting stands to come into it's own as this year progresses, there are several surrounding technologies that are on the fast track for improvement as well.

One of those is LCD monitors used for displaying the HDTV signal. Actaully there are three major competing screen technologies at this point and they all have certain unique characteristics that can influence your buying decision. Of course, any of them would be a major improvement on the old CRT displays that have been in prevalent use for many years now. These three monitor types are LCD, DLP, and plasma screens.

For the sake of this article, let's discuss LCD monitors and how manufacturers are making improvements that are diminishing the drawbacks that have been associated with LCD TVs.

The main advantages of LCD monitors is that they are thin and light, relatively speaking, and can display an incredible range of colors, making them a favorite of many viewers. They can also be used for computer displays as well, for those that are so inclined. At the same time though, some of the disadvantages that drew complaints were the limited viewing angles and the high expense associated with larger screen sizes.

Well, those problems are starting to be addressed by the major LCD makers, and the latest LCD TVs boast a much improved viewing angle. Previously, you pretty much had to be sitting right in front of a LCD monitor to be able to get the best picture and as you moved sideways away from the center of the TV the clarity and sharpness diminished fairly rapidly. That irritating situation has been much improved in the latest LCD monitors and now you can view them easily and comfortably from as much as 150 degrees to either side.

On the price front, that too has been improved as the cost for larger screen sizes continues to drop and so now LCD screens that are larger than 40 inches have seen their prices fall much faster than those in the smaller sizes. So as LCDs become more accepted in the television viewing world, some of the least desirable peculiarities of them have been steadily improved to the point where there almost isn't any really good reason not to own one.

What type of TV is better DLP, Plasma or LCD. I am looking for a 47 to 52 inch?

Each technology offers different pros and cons. Quite frankly, I consider the DLP the worst of the bunch. In my opinion, it's not bright enough, suffers from poor viewing angle, and generally just does not have as sharp of a picture as a plasma or LCD would. The one big benefit is price.

As for LCD's and plasmas, here are the pros and cons:
LCD:
Lighter
Brighter - best for brightly lit rooms or rooms that have lots of natural light
More energy efficient
Poorer viewing angle - picture degrades as you move sideways away from the tv.
More expensive in larger sizes
Doesn't display dark scenes as well
Motion blur can be a problem, but not as bad as earlier generations
No burn in problems
More easily damaged screen

Plasma:
Heavier
Not as bright - less suitable for brightly lit rooms or rooms with lots of natural light.
Less energy efficient and runs hotter
Wide viewing angle
Less expensive in larger sizes
Displays dark scenes better
No motion blur
Subject to burn in, but not as bad as earlier generations
More durable screen

Many don't know it, but LCD screens are more subject to damage. My kid threw a pacifier at our brand new 52" LCD and knocked out a small group of pixels. Poke the screens in the store with your finger. You'll see what I mean.

UPDATE: What Hope21 said is a bunch of garbage. There is no such thing as a "Plasma tube." They are cheaper because they are cheaper to manufacture in larger sizes. They will last as long as an LCD, at least that's what Consumer Reports has been saying the last couple of years I've been paying attention.

As for what heyo619 says, LCDs do have a poorer viewing angle. Moved 60 degrees sideways from any LCD in the store and you'll see what I mean. Plasma does not suffer from that problem.
