When a thing shrinks in size, a whole new set of possibilities for its use emerge. Just think of what you can do with a 7-inch portable LCD television. It's total entertainment anywhere you may be. It can give you your favorite TV program at home, at the park, while waiting for a friend in a coffee shop, basically every place you may be. But if you ask me, the best place would be in your bed. Just imagine when you're feeling lazy and you just want to stay longer in bed. Just reach for your portable LCD TV, switch it on, and you can watch the latest news while comfortably lying in your bed.
Now that's total entertainment and comfort in one package.
However, if you are not the sort who likes to go outside a lot, a small LCD TV, those that range from 15 to 24 inch screen televisions, may be the best choice for you. You could easily figure out where to put those small LCD screens. You can put one in the living room, kitchen or dining room so you can watch TV whenever you're in either of those rooms. You could put one inside a mini-library so you can have TV background whenever you're studying or doing a little research.
Don't let its small size mislead you. A compact LCD TV can still be the centerpiece of your home entertainment system, especially if you have a small space. You can conveniently hook it up with a Blu-Ray player and for great sounds, of course it has connections for your home theater system. With a small LCD TV it means there is no such thing as a limited space.
On a more technical advantage of an LCD TV, one is the anti glare coating on its screen that reduces unwanted reflections or glare emanating from the screen. It can be attributed to the matte finish on the screen, which are unlike your typical CRT TVs and plasma TVs that are made up of glass. What this means is you can place your LCD TV in a room with plenty of sunlight.
Disadvantages of Portable LCD Televisions
LCD screen TVs, usually those of cheaper variety, are plagued by motion blurring on screen. This usually occurs when an image on the screen moves too fast and the LCD rendering speed is unable to keep up. This appears on screen as motion blur. Good news is that this is significantly reduced to unnoticeable levels in higher quality units which are usually priced higher.
Another drawback is the limited viewing angle since LCD screens are usually better when you watch near the center where it's facing. Watching it from an angle reduces picture quality.
LCD TVs also do not come cheaply and inexpensively compared to the traditional CRT units. Yes there are a lot of cheaper alternatives but you should be aware that you always get what you pay for. The cheaper brands usually have poorer image quality and made with flimsy material. They will most likely not last very long.
Portable and small LCD TV flat screens are ideal for many situations but they are also quite frustrating to work with in some situations. They are best for small homes and for mobile entertainment when you're on the go. They aren't ideal for those who like big screens and are easily fatigued by watching small ones. It is best to carefully study your need for such a TV before you go buy one.
