Intro:
Like popular LCD monitors you commonly see used with computers, LCD TVs have a slim design and a flat viewing surface, but have been fine tuned for video display. Recent advances in flat panel LCD technology now allow for larger screens, wider viewing angles, and higher-quality video images.
How it works:
An LCD TV is sometimes referred to as a "transmissive" display. Light isn't created by the liquid crystals themselves; a light source (bulb) behind the panel shines light through the display. A white diffusion panel behind the LCD redirects and scatters the light evenly to ensure a uniform image.
LCD TVs use the most advanced type of LCD, known as an "active-matrix" LCD. This design is based on thin film transistors (TFT). Basically, tiny switching transistors and capacitors that are arranged in a matrix on a glass substrate. Their job is to rapidly switch the LCD's pixels on and off. In a color TV's LCD, each color pixel is created by three sub-pixels with red, green and blue color filters.
Key benefits:
All LCD TVs offer progressive scan support and pleasingly flat screens by design. They also provide users with a bevy of input options, adding to their versatility. Most LDC televisions double as computer displays by allowing standard analogue VGA (PC) input, a great option if you need your display to pull double duty as a PC monitor to save money and space. Nearly all LCD TVs offer the option to mount on a wall or under a cabinet.
Considerations:
Determine the right screen size based on your budget and your floor plan:
23-32 Inch Screen - 2.4 - 3 metres Viewing distance Range
36-42 Inch Screen - 3 - 3.6 metres Viewing distance Range
