In todays world where technology is changing rapidly day by day, there has been always a debate whether new products are better than older one. If we look at the changing TV technology these days, we would definitely say there is a new TV display technology coming out every year. TV technology has gone under considerable change .Travelling from CRT to LEDs; there has been a considerable change in the design and shape of the TVs not to forget about the technology and features as well.
Lets have a look at the List of available TVs in the market at present time:-
LCD:-These are the cheapest flat panel television sets you will find in the market. But of course, its at the cost of rich colours, as well as the screens being addicted to ghosting which is clearly noticeable while watching sports or playing video games.
Plasma TV:- These offer the best colours and widest viewing angles, and in fast-moving pictures, motion blur or ghosting is almost non-existent. However, plasma screens consume three times as much power as LED and LCD TVs. Also, repairing such a TV can get problematic since its costly and your local service-man might not know how to do it.
Finally, if an image is displayed for a long time on a plasma TV, it can get burned into the screen. So even after switching-off your TV, the corner might show that little logo of your favourite channel or DTH service.
Full HD & HD:- You might want to take advantage of the HD revolution in satellite TV in India, but should you go for HD or Full HD? While Full HD is definitely superior, the question is whether you will really need it, or even notice the difference. For most viewers, HD (or 720p) is perfect if everything they watch revolves around serials and sports. And its also good enough if you watch movies on a DVD player or by plugging in pen drives.
Third Dimension:- There are two major types of 3D TVs: Active 3D and Passive 3D (a.k.a. Cinema 3D, as LG calls it). Suffice to know that Active 3D is the better one of the two technologies and it is usually recommended for videophiles and gamers due to the lack of motion blur.
On the other hand, this technology is rather expensive and requires glasses that use batteries, which need to be charged regularly. If youre going to watch sports or movies in large groups with friends and family, passive 3D TVs are better, especially because the glasses are lighter, they require no batteries, and are definitely cheaper.
It should be noted that 3D TVs are not recommended for all; especially those who suffer from chronic migraines, epilepsy, eye disorders, or even pregnant women.
Smart TV:- Many brands nowadays are now touting Smart TVs. Essentially, these are sets with pre-loaded Internet apps and built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, which let you access Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or browse the Web on your big screen. But more importantly, Smart TVs arent good enough to be your primary PC yet, so make sure you have Wi-Fi set up at home to use your internet connection on the laptop as well as the TV.
Do be aware, though, that some devices have only an Ethernet port, offering no wireless capabilities. Thats going to be a mess of interconnected cables!
The latest technology to come up in the TV is OLED TVs. These TVs arent so popular so much so much due to their high price. At the CES event held this year at Los Angeles, LG and Samsung did displayed the biggest OLED of till now which is expected to hit the U.S market by next year.
