Shopping for a TV these days can be really difficult, especially since there is such a wide selection. Also, it doesn't help that there's so much technical jargon to get through. If you are wondering what the major differences between plasma, LED, LCD, and 3D TVs are, this article can help.
3D televisions offer the most differences when compared to other types of televisions. These televisions are capable of reproducing 3D images, so you can watch movies and shows in 3D.
When using a 3D TV, you'll need to wear a pair of glasses in order to see the images in 3D. However, most televisions are only packed with one pair, so you'll have to purchase additional glasses for your guests. Also, you'll need a special 3D Blu-ray player in order to watch 3D movies on disc.
Aside from differences in price ranges, the majority of people are not able to differentiate between LCD, plasma, and LED televisions. However, there are some basic technical specifications that set them apart.
The main thing that sets plasma, LED, and LCD sets apart is the way in which they display images. Each one renders colors differently and also handles moving images and still images in a different manner. The important things to look out for when comparing these televisions, other than cost, is the contrast ratio and the viewing angle.
The contrast ratio of a TV tells you how well the TV is able to display extreme colors, like black and white. A television set that has a low contrast ratio will struggle to show you the differences between the brighter and darker colors, so you will not be able to achieve true blacks on those screens. Typically, LED and plasma televisions offer the best contrast ratios.
For people who watch TV with other people, it may be necessary to find a TV set that has a wide viewing angle. The viewing angle tells you which angles you can sit at in relation to the TV and still see the picture clearly. The wider the angle, the more viewing space you'll have. Usually, plasmas offer the best viewing angles, but some LEDs also offer great angles.
You should also take note of the refresh rates, which is usually given in Hertz (Hz), of the various LED, plasma, and LCD TVs. The higher the rate, the better the TV will be at displaying moving pictures. Plasmas and LED televisions usually have higher refresh rates than LCD televisions.
