Televisions


Despite their slim dimensions LCD TVs produce flicker-free and distortion-free images. Plasma TVs have better contrast and black levels, but the LCD continues to close the gap thanks to LED technology. Projectors and rear-projectors are used more so by hard-core home theatre enthusiasts, while the cheap tube TV barely remains in existence nowadays. More...

"The Sony NX503 is the first of the Japanese super-firm's 'monolithic design' TVs to fall into our hands, and boy is it a beauty. It's more than a pretty face too, with networking, next-gen picture processing and Freeview HD tucked away inside its slick shell. Read on, and get the skinny in our full Sony NX503 review."

Televisions

For several years, the trend has been for flat-screen TVs. Especially prevalent are LCD TVs, which function by applying an electrical voltage to liquid crystals causing them to either pass through light or reflect it. This eliminates a bulky CRT. In addition, LCD televisions are flicker-free and distortion-free, because the image is not displayed line by line, but is instead constructed simultaneously by the transistors. Besides the classic backlight with cold cathode tubes, there are now LCD TVs with LED backlighting, which have better contrast ratio and lower power consumption. Plasma TVs, however, use ionized gas to stimulate the bulb. Compared to conventional LCD TVs with backlight, they offer higher contrast and black levels, so they are popular with film buffs. The disadvantage is the higher power consumption and lower luminosity. Traditional CRT TVs are now barely sold. In particular, customers who are interested in high-definition television (HDTV) and HD signals in Blu-ray quality (1920 x 1080 pixels), a flat screen television is advisable. Only a few tube TV are available with HD signals, whilst Full-HD resolutions are not offered at all on these devices - even where they would represent a cheap alternative. For film-makers and fans of home cinema, projectors offer a particularly attractive alternative to flat-screen TV, thanks to lush screen sizes. Such devices project the image onto a white wall or a special screen. Rear projectors, which work similarly, but look more like standard TVs, are also to be found in this category.
