What is an LCD television?

LCD stands for liquid crystal display. Since electric currents cause light crystals to change shape they can act as light valves. When this happens, the television can show a grayscale or black and white image. Color is added by using mirrors to split the light coming through the liquid crystal to split into red, green, or blue beams. A lens takes in all three colors and projects them onto the screen – and you have a color LCD television.

Since liquid crystal, display crystals don’t produce their own light, a florescent bulb or some other form of light must be added to complete the television. This makes the panels very thin and they require less power to work than CRT or Plasma televisions. An added bonus is that LCD televisions do not emit any type of radiation, unlike their predecessors. These units take up much less space than older televisions and can be mounted on the walls or put on a small stand. This is particularly advantageous in situations where space is at a premium; for instance an apartment in New York City.

Before you spring for an LCD TV, you should consider exactly where and how you plan to install it. The beauty of flat panel screens is that they will mount on any wall in your house or apartment. Wall mounts come in several varieties: flat wall mounts; tilt wall mounts, table stands, articulating wall mounts, and ceiling mounts are the most common ways to install your television. Each option has its own advantage. Flat wall mounts will result in the least amount of space used; tilt wall mounts lets you keep the monitor about eye level, which many experts feel is the ideal viewing situation. LCD televisions are fitted with a display table, purchased separately. Articulating wall mounts allow the television the greatest mobility and store flat against the wall when not in use. Ceiling mounts are similar to those used in hospitals and nursing homes and may work especially well for individuals who are disabled.

Plasma televisions are the biggest competitors of LCD televisions. LCD televisions run cooler than plasma TV and they do not suffer from burn-in of static images. They have more brightness than Plasma models and are great in high altitudes. They are lighter than Plasma TVs and have a longer display life. If you buy the right model, you will only need to replace the backlight not the entire television.

If you are looking for high contrast and a very large screen size, LCD televisions may lose out to Plasma. LCD sets do not render deep blacks very well and though screen sizes are getting larger, they are not on a par with Plasma televisions yet. While LCD televisions don’t suffer from burn it, it is possible that individual pixels can burn out. If that happens the entire screen has to be replaced. Prices vary, but in general, LCD televisions are more expensive than Plasma sets.

It is a good idea to buy an extended warranty when you invest in an LCD television. This will make sure you aren’t paying too much for labor if the set needs some repair. The warranty will also defray the cost of replacing a back light. Just make sure that the warranty comes from a company that has some name value behind it; that is, the company has a reputation for standing behind its products. Make sure the warranty covers your particular model of LCD television.

Remember too that if you buy a three year extended warranty that covers the amount of time from the date you purchased the television. The unit may come with a one-year warranty, but that doesn’t add an extra year to your extended warranty.
