Advantages of LCD TVs
Slim profile
Like Plasma TVs, LCD TVs are slim, sleek and stylish. Even a larger 52†wide screen LCD is less than 4†in depth. They weigh less when compared with Plasma TVs of similar sizes. Because of being light, LCD TVs can be easily mounted on walls.
High resolution
LCD TVs have sidelined Plasma TVs in terms of resolution. They have better resolution than plasma TVs. Because they have better resolution, the images on LCD screen are sharper, smoother and more-detailed. A LCD of 45†model can display a full High Density resolution of 1080p (1920×1080 pixels).
Longer lifetime
LCD TVs generally have a better life span by contrast with Plasma TVs and CRTs. The lifetime of a display device is measured by its half-life, which refers to the time when its lighting device loses half of its original brightness. The half-life of newer LCD TVs crosses more than 60,000 hrs. There is also an option of replacing backlight resource when it is fully used out.
No screen burns
LCD TVs are free from screen burns as they don’t use phosphors, instead, they use liquid crystals and colour filters supported by a backlight source for displaying images.
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.
Economic power consumption
LCD TVs consume very little electric power. A wide screen LCD with 65†screen size will consume 30 percent less electricity than its counterpart Plasma TV. This is because more power is required by plasma TV to make the phosphors glow whereas LCD requires power only for producing its backlight, which undergoes filtering through the liquid crystals. LCD monitors can operate on batteries for a longer time, so they are ideal for laptops.
