For many buyers, many different parameters play a role when choosing a TV. However, not everyone will be able to explain for themselves from the first time what exactly they want to see every evening before their eyes. There is a lot of advice on the Internet on how to choose the right technique. The range is so wide that anyone's eyes will run wide. Most buyers focus on those devices that amaze with their functionality and service life. Flat-screen TVs have been popular for a long time. What should you pay attention to when choosing such a technique?
Types of flat-panel TVs
The most popular are plasma, LED and LCD TVs. How are they different?
Plasma TV displays a picture by sending an electrical discharge to the plasma that fills the cells.
LCD devices differ in that they consist of crystalsliquid type (hence the name). They are located between two plates of glass. The display occurs due to the fact that a discharge is applied to the crystals and they are illuminated by a fluorescent lamp.
LED flat-panel TVs are similar in design to the previous ones, but instead of the light source described above, they use LEDs.
Contrast comparison
The consumer should see how well the TV is capable of displaying bright and dark pictures at the same time before buying. The higher the contrast level, the better the image quality will be. If it is low, then in fairly bright / dark pictures a person will not be able to see certain details. For some buyers, this aspect is very important. Often, all flat-panel TVs have excellent contrast. In the first place are plasmas, in the second - LED, in the third, respectively, liquid crystals. It should be noted that LED-devices have a backlight. If they have a lateral type, then, together with LCD devices, they will be noticeably inferior in parameters.
Most LCD devices start at a contrast ratio of 600:1, while plasmas have four times the contrast ratio.
You need to choose the flat-panel TV that shows black images best. This question seems frivolous, but many budget models give such a faded picture.
Brand Selection
To choose the right flat device, you need to pay attention to many parameters. The brand also plays an important role. Any specialist will tell you that you need to purchase such a device, starting from your own preferences. In most cases, all large and small flat-panel TVs are created using the same technology, regardless of the manufacturer. But many consumers think differently - so the question of choosing a brand becomes quite relevant.
In order to understand which brand is guaranteed to give only pleasant impressions, you need to pay attention only to already popular brands. Next, you should consider all the models you like and make the final choice. Flat TVs from Samsung and Sony are considered the best in this category of technology.
