Toshiba Lcd Tv

Scenario: You walk into an electronics store, and you are on the prowl for a new TV, but don’t know which type of TV to get. Should you get an LCD or plasma TV? What’s the difference between a plasma and LCD TV? There are many panels on the market such as a Toshiba LCD tv, but choosing which type of TV can come down to a matter of personal preference.

Plasma

• Contrast: Whiter whites and deeper blacks.
• Plasma has richer colors than an LCD.
• Better viewing angle as the picture does not wash out like it can do on an LCD.
• Smoother video motion because plasmas don’t use or need refresh rate processing that LCDs use.

LCD

• The panel itself weighs less and is generally thinner than a plasma panel.
• Small-sized sets are available for purchase, suitable for a small bedroom such as a set in the 20 inch range.
• LCDs consume lesser energy, such as a Toshiba.
• Since the panels have a matte finish and are not as reflective as a glass finish on a plasma screen, LCDs provide a better picture viewing experience in well-lit rooms.

So you’ve decided between an LCD and plasma, but heard about this other technology called LED. LED TVs are actually just LCD TVs, like a Toshiba LCD tv, that use LED backlighting instead of fluorescent backlighting.

LED

• Higher-end LCDs use LED backlighting.
• Consume the least amount of power.
• LED has truer colors which can produce pure white light than an LCD.
• LED TVs can have edge-lit screens so LED lights are placed around the edge of the screen resulting in even thinner panels than a LCD.
• Some LED models have a grid set up for the lights giving the screen the ability to shut off parts of the screen in dark areas which results in great contrast and vivid colors.

LCD

• Most LCD TVs use fluorescent backlighting designed for TVs. Fluorescent bulbs are designed to display a bright and accurate image.
• LCDs still consume low energy such as a Toshiba LCD TV.
• LCDs are generally cheaper than LED panels.
