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.
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.
Something worth mentioning is the technological advances that are currently beginning to emerge. OLED and 3D TVs are something to keep an eye out for in the future. They are tentatively being introduced into the market but are still some time off being perfected. They are technologies which we may see a lot of in the future.
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. - 29872
