You are probably somewhat familiar with LCD displays. They are used in many everyday objects like car dashboards, your digital alarm clock, microwaves, computer monitors and some watches. What exactly is an LCD TV and how does it work? LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Diode.
Basically, the crystals are flexible and react to electric currents by bending and twisting and untwisting. It carries the current while being both a solid (crystal) and a liquid (flexible crystal). The technology is fascinating, but how does it look?
The display on LCD TVs is sharp and clear. The dot pixel matrix also makes the image viewable from a wider angle than traditional TV sets. The flat screen makes ambient light a non-issue when watching the set, as the reflections are minimal. As with most newer HDTV's, the LCD display is very hardy and even with the most persistent usage, will still last you for a good 10 to 15 years before it starts to fail. The key to keeping your LCD display looking perfect is the LED white light source. All you have to do is make sure you buy quality TV's from trusted manufacturers, and the light source should last you for many years.
So, you want to know the best models of LCD TV's out there? The number one model is the Sony KDL-40XBR4 LCD TV. It runs 1080p display and has an incredible range of color display options. This particular model also has something called Motionflow (TM) which detects the incoming signal, whether it be from your HDTV receiver or BlueRay DVDs, and applies the appropriate processing for the best picture possible. It basically reads what the image will require and processes it before the image can be displayed resulting in a much smoother picture. This particular model's display resolution is an awesome 1920 x 1080! Exceptional picture!
The next best model is the Sharp LC-32D43U. This model uses Aquos LCD technology and looks elegant and sophisticated. The picture is beautifully sharp and crisp. The Aquos LCD displays colors like no other and the pure look of the image will indeed take your breath away. There really is nothing like it. The display resolution for HD is not as high as the previous model, but a very respectable 1366 x 768. This LCD display is great for people who want the purity of color without the enormous price tag. The 32 inch size display can be found online for less than one thousand dollars, which is pretty darn good for a TV that will last you 10 to 15 years.
