Compare Full HD TVs

By John Smith

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.

LED, plasma and LCD are all types of HD TVs. You are going to need to know some facts about advantages and disadvantages of these types of TVs. This knowledge will assist you in making the correct buying decision when it comes to purchasing the right HD TV for you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

To make the most of the money you have to spend you should make sure you know your own requirements before purchasing a new Full HD TV. Narrow your options down and possibly use other consumers reviews to make your final decision on buying a Full HD Television. - 32388
