plasma vs lcd vs led lcd hdtvs?

Q. im planning to get an hdtv soon and was wondering what the real difference between plasma, lcd and led lcd screens are in terms of resolution, contrast ratio, refresh rate, or well just overall image quality. and which type would you recommend for gaming. lastly any particular brand you can recommend?

A. The final decision as to what type of flat panel television to purchase (LCD or Plasma) is really up to you here are pros & cons of each for your decision

Pros of Plasma
- Better contrast ratio
- better ability to render deep blacks, more color depth,
- better motion tracking (response time)
- more availability in very large screen sizes.
Cons of Plasma
- more susceptible to burn-in (although this is not as much of a factor now, due to technology improvements in the past few years)
- more heat generation (as well as more power consumption)
- screen glare in brightly lit rooms
- heavier weight, and more delicate to ship.
Good brand that I would recommend for Plasma is Panasonic or Samsung

Pros of LCD
- LCD television advantages include no burn-in susceptibility
- cooler running
- less screen glare, more functional at high altitudes
- longer display life (although improvements are being made in Plasma screen life)
- looks better in brightly lit rooms
- less power consumption than Plasma.
Cons of LCD
- Lower contrast ratio
- not as good rendering deep blacks
- not as good at tracking motion (although this is improving, especially with the implementation of 120Hz refresh rates (and some now offer 240Hz) on higher-end models).
Good brand for LCD that I would recommend is Samsung or Sony

whats are differences between LED HDTV and LCD? which one is better?WHY?

Q.

A. LED and LCD have pretty much the same sort of quality, at the end of the day it is not a big enough difference to worry about to much, and most people can not even tell the difference between a LCD and a LED monitor.

Personally I prefer LED and LED in tests generally performs better, and has a better quality image for a more expensive sort of price.

what is an LED-LCD HDTV?

Q. is it 3-d like with glasses. if it is i want to get one. i just want to make sure that its 3d like in theaters.

A. Not 3D. A conventional LCD set uses a fluorescent lamp for backlighting. An LED set is simply the same LCD TV with LEDs for backlighting. There are several technical advantages of LEDs over fluorescent lamps, but the picture is the same.
------------
Followup per the answer from "Diog." Number one, he didn't seem to understand your question. And number two, his response is not only needlessly insulting to two other responders, but he is also quite wrong. The picture source on an "LED" TV is absolutely NOT solely the LEDs. They absolutely are the backlight for the same type of LCD picture-forming display that has existed for years. If he or anyone doesn't believe that, there are plenty of references. I've cited one below. He can look it up, and then give consideration to being a bit more courteous while providing bad information.

what's the difference led/lcd/hdtv and plasma?

Q.

A. LED TV is a marketing term, and really just causes confusion in the marketplace. The display technology is *still* the same LCD as the LCD TV you could have bought previously.

The difference is in the backlighting. LED TVs use LEDs (light emitting diodes) to light up the screen, compared with "standard" LCD TVs, which use CCFLs (Cold Cathode Flourescent Lamps) to light up the screen. LEDs produce better whites and lights than CCFLs. They're also much more compact, which accounts for the difference in thickness between the two styles of LCD.

Plasma TVs are a completely different technology, using electricity to create plasma from noble gases between 2 glass plates, which in turn create UV light that excites various phosphors which in turn produce light in the visible spectrum. Yes, it's that complicated. Many claim plasma produces truer colors than lcd, though I can't really tell the difference, personally speaking.

what is the differences between a LCD HDTV AND A LED HDTV?

Q. I was told that the shiny screen would not be good if I have lots of windows as it causes more reflections, is this true?

A. The LED that are out now such as the Samsung 6000 series television are still LCD tvs. The panel is an LCD panel and is almost exactly the same as the Samsung 650 series lcd. The major difference is that the backlight is different. The backlight in a standard lcd is a flourescant type of backlight while in a LED it uses Light Emitted Diodes to enhance the picture. An LED will have a higher contrast ratio (black to white level in turn effects colors) than a standard LCD.

What is the difference between LCD, LED, and Plasma screen televisions.?

Q. I'm planning on buying a new TV soon, but there are so many display options. I don't know too much about the difference in LCD, LED, and Plasma. I know that one of them has like a light shining off the back or the side of the TV and thats the one that I don't want. Can somebody help me with this information.

A. For many years, the CRT technology was the dominant technology in television sets. However, in the past few years, there has been a significant improvement in the technology, which has seen the introduction of LCD, plasma and LED televisions. Each of these new technologies has its strong points in the method that it displays images, among other features. The features for each type of these technologies are as below.




As with most electronics, it is recommended that you first do your research before choosing a HDTV. By doing research, you can ensure you choose a quality television that you will enjoy. There are many different sites that post reviews, and reviewing what other customers have said is really important. A good example of a page is one that displays Panasonic Viera TC-P54G25 reviews. Such sites not only provides expert reviews, but more importantly, also supply customer reviews.

When researching a television, it is also important to look at the differences in the technologies. The next few section outlines the three technologies that you will find in a HDTV.

What is an LCD TV?
The acronym LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. This technology was created to replace the CRT technology. A LCD TV is a significant improvement in the way pictures are displayed due to the mode of display involved.

LCD technology uses two major components to display, namely; Cold Cathode Florescent Lamps or CCFLs and molecules of liquid crystals. The CCFLs are used to illuminate the liquid molecules with white light, and as the light passes through, an image is created.

A LCD TV has the following advantages over a CRT TV; flat and much lighter, a higher resolution, wider viewing angle of up to 175 degrees, lower power consumption, resistant to �burn in� due to static images, and are ideal for naturally lit environments. However, there are some disadvantages to this technology such as a low contrast ratio and inability to achieve true black picture quality.





What is a Plasma TV
The shortcomings of LCD TV led to the development of Plasma Display Panel, otherwise known as a plasma TV. With this technology, images are created from gases containing neon and xenon atoms.

Plasma TV technology boasts of a rich variation of colors, due to an advanced color generation feature, that is able to generate true black picture quality.

The viewing distance and angles are also wider, ranging from 160 and up to 180 degrees, which is more than what can be achieved with a LCD TV. A plasma TV also has a higher lifespan than LCD TV. The downside of this technology is that the viewing capability, especially the brightness is greatly diminished in poor lighting conditions, lower resolution, and an irreparable back light.

What are the advantages of having a LED hdtv than the other normal LCD tvs?

Q. Im planning to buy a LED hdtv this new year, but i really cant see the difference aside from the "light-emitting diode" feature. I mean, the resolution would be the same (1920 x 1080) like the other HD tv's. They say it's less power consumption, thinner pannel, dramatic impact etc. But aside from all these, what makes it stand out from the others?

A. LED TVs tend to have better contrast ratios (e.g. 1'000'000:1) therefore it is better at separating the darkest darks from the whitest whites consequently providing a more realistic image for the viewer.

That is the main advantage I am acquainted with, everything which you have stated is most of what I have read and heard.

How to get the best picture out of my 120hz LCD?

Q. I bought a 46in Samsung 120hz LCD(LED backlit) HDTV, so far at times it does seem better but there is still ghosting with the black and dark colors, the faster the picture, the more distorted and blurry it gets. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The model number is LN46C650L1F.

A. Sadly - motion blur is inherent in LCD panels with fast moving objects. The "120 hz refresh" cuts the problem in half compared to a standard 60 hz refresh model, but it is still there.

Some models have software 'enhancements' that try to smooth out the motion blur, but this sometimes causes other artifacts.

All new televisions should have their Brightness, contrast and color set to sane levels. (These are set at the factory to ultra-bright so the unit will be eye-catching if used as a demo on a bright display floor).

Get a Pixar movie and go to the disk setup menu. You will find test-patterns and instructions for properly setting the brightness, contrast and color.

This will probably reduce how noticeable the ghosting and blur are, but it will not solve it.

How do I connect a game console to a Vizio M261VP LED LCD HDTV?

Q. I recently got a Vizio M261VP LED LCD HDTV and when I connect my PS3 with the HDMI cable, it looks beautiful. But, when I try to connect my PS2 with the normal colored cables (yellow, red and white) the audio works but the video looks mainly blue. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

A. Video actually is made up of 3 primary colors (red, green, blue) which combines to create all the shades in between. So if you can see it, your yellow cable is working. The problem is the encoder in your PS3 that combines the RGB into a single video cable. You can't fix the PS3, but you can adjust the video on your TV with the Hue control. Just remember that it affects all yellow cable inputs, so other programs may need to be adjusted back.
