Full HD TV ” Making The Right Choice
Friday, October 16th, 2009
With the introduction of digital television (DTV) has come the High Definition Television Revolution. Full HD TV is the pinnacle of the home television experience. But what is required to enjoy the maximum benefits on offer? And what choices are there to be made when purchasing a Full HD TV.
Not all high definition televisions are equal and can truely be defined as full high definition capable. You might think that HD Ready Televisions meet this standard. Though perfectly suitable for use as smaller screens, HD ready TVs conform to the 720p standard. To enjoy the full benefits of Full HD TV then the standard you should be looking at when shopping for a new TV is 1080p.
Televisions come in many variations, the first thing to consider is what type of television technology to choose. The different type of technologies to choose from include plasma, LCD and LED TVs. To make this decision then you will need to know a little about the qualities of each type.
The prestige HD televisions are considered to be plasma HD TVs. This is because of the ability of plasma TVs to reproduce life-like colours and the greatest contrasts when compared to its competitors. They are also better at displaying fast moving pictures. The negatives with plasma TVs are they less eco-friendly and due to the larger size of screens are heavier and cost more.
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) HD televisions have seen the most success in the market. This is mainly down to their price, they represent the best value for the average consumer. They do have advantages over plasmas including brightness, energy-efficiency and being lighter in weight. Because of their popularity and the developments made by manufacturers LCD have closed the gap in picture qualities that plasmas had over them in the early days.
The newest of HD technologies to hit the market is the LED TV. They are not as radically different a design as the name might suggest. LED TVs still incorporate the use of LCD panels to display the picture, but where they differ is the use LEDs in the lighting of the display. Previous LCDs used fluorescent lights which have a limited lifespan and reduced performance over time. LEDs have improved upon these deficiencies along with other inherent benefits. LEDs have better colour reproduction, energy-efficiency, and slimmer designs than their LCD equivalent models.
Other technologies on the horizon include OLED TVs (organic light emitting diodes) and 3D HD TVs. There are current commercial models using these technologies available on the market. However they are really pilot models to test the technologies out on the public. It is expected that they will become mainstream in 5 years or so.
At the end of the day the decision about what TV to buy is going to depend on each consumers personal budget and requirements. Take time to do your research, so that you are best equipped to make the right choice and make the most of your Full HD TV experience.
