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 what can be called full HD TV. A HD ready TV for example usually meets the 720p spec. 720p televisions have a better picture quality than standard definition television but are not the best quality available. They are perfectly suitable where a smaller screen size is required, but when it comes to larger screens (eg a 42 inch LCD and upwards), then a 1080p is the standard that you should be looking to.
Theres many factors to be considered when youre in the process of deciding what HD television to buy, the first choice is what HD technology to purchase. The options to decide between include plasma TVs, liquid crystal display (LCD) TVs and light emitting diode (LED) TVs. But before making this decision you will need to know a little bit about the attributes of these three technologies.
Plasma HD TVs have been considered to be at the top-end of the market for some time. This is due to its superior picture quality, however its competitors have closed that gap recently. Plasma have enjoyed better colour reproduction and saturation, better contrast control, better at displaying fast moving images and they come in larger screen sizes. The down side to plasmas is they are heavy, less efficient and more expensive to buy and own.
The market leader up to this point has been LCD TVs. When it comes down to value for money LCDs have shown to be the popular choice. The range of screen sizes available means that they can be purchased to be suitable for any location. They may not produce the best quality images but they arent far behind plasmas and they are now so cheap that one can be purchased on the smallest of budgets.
LED TVs are the newest technology to enter the market. Because of their recent introduction to our stores they are still more expensive than standard LCD TVs. However they do have attractive qualities over LCD televisions and with time the prices will come down. The advantages of LED televisions are, brighter images, deeper blacks, reduced power consumption and improved life-spans.
OLED and 3D televisions are something you may be starting to become aware of. Neither can be realistically considered as option when purchasing a new television as there are only limited options out there. They are however sure to be making a big impact in the future.
When making the choice of what type of television to buy, it should come down to a decision based on preference, budget and suitability. Be sure to do your home work on the subject to make the best out your investment and achieve the best experience you can from your full HD TV purchase. - 29967
