How long would LCD HDTV's last in the market?

Q. I have bought an LCD HDTV last year and I'm getting worried if my TV's going to be "phased-out" since there has been many new releases of LED TV's and 3DTV's.

The LCD TV I bought was not exactly a new model, it was a bit old, (720p only, but not second-hand). I really hope that my purchase wasn't a waste, and that I should have bought a newer model instead...

A. SLEEPS WELL !
new models , new technology keeps coming out.....every month.. NO END.
if you worries about , don't buy any electronics items.
there is a LIFE TIME for LCD TV. usually about 60,000 hours. an QUALITY BRAND able to use for about 6 to 8 + years switch on 10 hours a day .
if you buy an LED TV . you will ask another same question as OLED TV should be in the market soon ! OR , all LED TV going to be " QUATTRON " technology as Sharp is the only maker for that ( releases 3 months ago ) .
if you buy an 3D TV, you worries about NEXT GENERATION NEW 3D releases in next 3 years.
there is NO NEW MODELS for TV. NEW MODELS is AS THIS MOMENT !!

Original Question

What are the differences between LCD HDTVs and Plasma HDTVs?

Q. What are their Pros and Cons?

A. LCD HDTVs:

LCD uses little pixels which contain liquid crystals inside of them. These liquid crystals alternate to block out certain spectrums of light, so that the viewer only sees the colour allowed to pass through the pixel. When a million pixels (720p TV) or 2 million pixels (1080p TV) are put together side-by-side, the viewer sees one complete picture.

Pros:
- Longer life span (theoretically)
- Great for brightly lit rooms
- Is now available at bigger sizes like 65"
- No burn-in
- Cheaper to repair
- Uses less electricity

Cons:
- Prone to dead pixels
- Visible artifacts due to slow refresh rates (generally 60Hz)
- Harder to see in brightly lit rooms
- Plastic Screen


Plasma HDTVs:

Plasma HDTVs uses pixels that contain gases like Neon or Argon. When an electric current comes into contact with these gases, the gases heat up and turn into the plasma (thus the name), and because they are so hot, they glow. The colour they emit varies according to the electric current. Because the gases can change colour almost instantly (unlike the LCD's liquid crystals which need to alternate), they have a really high refresh rate.

Pros:
- Fantastic for dark rooms
- Glass Screen
- Very accurate colours
- Deeper blacks
- Comes in very big sizes
- Barely any artifacts due to high refresh rate

Cons:
- Uses more electricity (it'll end up costing no more than 5 cents a month)
- Prone to burn-in (if you leave the sae image on your screen for a long time)
- Slowly dims until the gases completely lose their luminosity
- Very expensive to repair
- LCD is slowly beginning to dominate HDTV market

What do i need to complete my HD setup, and is afforadable?

Q. I have a 26" LG LCD HDTV and a XBOX 360 and i wouls like to get some HD surround sound speakers and watch DVD's in HD quality, what should i get that is not thousands of dollars?

A. First of all, make 100% sure that your tv is an HDTV, and isn't HD ready or an HD monitor.

Right now, the standard xbox360 cannot play movies in HD. I believe it converts standard dvds to 420i to 720i signals. They're going to market an add-on hd-dvd player for the 360 that'll allow you to play hd-dvds on your 360, the add-on should cost around $200. Get that, then you can really watch movies in true HD (remember, you'll have to buy HD-DVD discs. They cost like $25 at the moment. They can play dvds, but will not be in HD).

Also, make sure you have the component cables, as the standard AV cables (red, yellow, white) cannot play any HD formats. I'm sure your tv has them, but make sure you have component inputs (red, blue, green) for the component cables. I'm not sure if the hd-dvd add-on will use DVI or HDMI, but those are both useful inputs as well.

And, for surround sound from your 360, a standard theatre-in-a-box that has Dolby Digital, DTS, etc will work. You'll just need an optical audio cable to run from your 360 to the theatre receiver, as the red and white audio cables cannot support DD or DTS, only stereo and mono.

All together, it'll cost you around $500, +/- $100 to get setup for true HD and surround sound.

Original Question

When i watch tv from below the screen looks black?

Q. I have a memorex 19 inch plasma not lcd. If i watch tv straight it looks fine but when I watch from below there is a lot of dark areas. Do I go to the settings and fix it? Should i buy a new lcd? My parents also have a Vizio 26 inch lcd hdtv and also looks black from below what should I do? How do I know when a tv doesnt have dark areas, what is it called?

A. Because you have an LCD, and NOT a plasma. First of all, Memorex does not make, nor have they ever made, plasma TVs. Second, plasmas have wide viewing angles like the flat-screen variants of their CRT cousins, so there's no contrast fade from watching off-axis. Third, no plasmas were sold for the consumer market smaller than 32", and nowadays they only come in 42" and up.
LCDs tend to have narrow viewing angles, especially vertically. Meaning that when you look at it from way off to the side or particularly from below, the colors may not appear correctly, and the contrast will be awful to say the least, to the point of being unwatchable.
Possible solutions:
1. Watch the TV directly facing it; sit/stand right in front of it at about eye level.
2. Re-position the TV.
3. Buy a plasma TV.
4. Use a CRT TV.

is the dynex 40inch 1080p 60hz going to last me a few years?

Q. I know that Lcd Hdtvs only last 3-5 years. I also know Dynex brand isnt the best. Can anyone tell me how long theres lasted or any detail about the dynex brand?

A. Why would you want a tv that cost say $600 and only last 3-5 years when you can pay a bit more ($700) and have it last you for 8-10 years. If you read yahoo questions, you will notice that 95% of tv problems comes from LCD tv and 95% of those are the bargain price tv. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. My first flat screen tv is a Sony 34" (first HD in the market and cost me $6,400 and only lasted 2 years) while my first plasma purchased in 2002 is still running today (Pioneer 43" model 4330). Hope this will help you out.

Is it true that you won't get certain TV stations(nbc) if you switch to an HDTV because they aren't digital?

Q. I have IO Digital Cable and am switching from a tube TV to a flat panel 1080i HDTV. I heard on NBC during the news about Christmas shopping and LCD HDTVs and which one is right for you, and I think they said something about not getting certain channels from certain broadcast stations because they aren't in HD yet, and they won't be digital until 2009(they said if you have IO you're safe from that switch in 2009), is it the same thing?

A. They are MIS-INFORMED....

All TV stations actually have a Digital transmitter right now....

BUT....

Not all TV stations transmit enough POWER from the digital transmitter to be RECIEVED in the entire market area they cover....

Such is the case in MY TOWN....
Fox does not transmit enough power to be recieved OVER THE AIR, and our local cable systems cannot pick them up at all....

So you end up recieving the LOW Def signal, but not the HI Def signal.
So the TV station is abiding by the FCC rules, and in 2009 they will actually turn off the old analog transmitter and POWER UP the Digital transmitter to FULL POWER....

But that sucks when you see some stations CIRCUMVENTING the INTENT of the rules....

I want to buy a new tv for my room what should I buy?

Q. My old jvc television is a normal 24in. I am in the market for a new flat screen wide screen 24in or 26in LCD HDTV for my room. I'm not sure what brand is best and I'm looking for something cheap. I found a tv with these specs for 350 from Olevia. Should I buy this television or is there something better? Not looking to spend more than 450. I don't buy for the brand name I buy for the functionality and reliability.

A. If you want to replace a 24" 4:3 aspect ratio TV with a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio TV, then in order for the height of the new set to be the same as the old, you'll have to get a 29" set. The sets are measured diagonally. So a widescreen set with the same diagonal size as a standard set will have a much smaller picture. As far as Olevia is concerned, the latest consumers reports has Olevia generally ranked highest among the other second tier sets. Regarding warranty, see the attached comparing various brands warranty and service.
