Why Buy an LCD Television?

Some 80% of the information we process comes through our sense of sight. Is it any wonder why so much emphasis is put on a good TV, as part of a home entertainment center? A clear, high-definition picture, with brilliant colors is paramount to fully enjoy a movie, sports game or your favorite TV program.

LCD televisions are on the brink of technology, making them equal to and sometimes surpassing their plasma counterparts. Both types of TVs boast thin profiles; even large screens fit nicely in home theater centers or mounted to the wall. Nevertheless, three major differences set LCD televisions apart.

  • LCD televisions have less glare from lights or large windows.
  • LCD TVs are burn-in resistant, making them great for sports and video games.
  • LCD televisions have a wide viewing angle, so everyone in the room has a good seat.
In this site, you'll find articles on televisions, news stories and comprehensive reviews on the best LCD TVs that will help you make an informed decision on which TV is right for you. At TopTenREVIEWS – We do the research so you don’t have to.™ What to Look for in an LCD TV

A large screen, flat panel LCD TV is a major purchase and careful consideration should be put into your decision. You’ll want the best TV that not only fits your budget, but also fits your room, media center and current components. Below are the criteria TopTenREVIEWS used to evaluate LCD televisions:

  • Screen Size: Screen size is one of the most important aspects to think about when purchasing a TV. Typically bigger is better—however, the TV should be appropriate for the room and affordable.
  • HDTV: Two main components make up high definition (HD) TV—an HD signal and a TV with HD quality resolution. A HD television can produce crisper, clearer images for a more vivid viewing experience.
  • Fast Response Time: Response time is especially important to LCD televisions. A fast response time will ensure there in no blurring during sports, action films or quick paced video games.
  • Consumer and Expert Recommendation: We not only incorporated our own evaluations when selecting the top TVs, we also included the reviews and recommendations of consumers and other experts.
