42 LCD - LCD Explained
What is it and what are the benefits of a 42 inch LCD TV?Quite simply put, LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. An LCD television is one that usually has TFT (thin film transistor) although newer models, such as the 42PFL5604H, now feature Light Emitting Diodes (LED) which produce even greater image performance.
The use of the TFT technology allows manufacturers to build smaller, flatter screened TV's - remember those chunky, old CRT monitors for your computer? Now compare those to the flat screen monitors being sold with PC's and you can see the difference that TFT makes (in fact, many of the newest LCD TV's have a dedicated PC connection which lets you use it like a computer monitor).
In the early days of LCD television manufacture, the technology was unable to compete with the superior quality produced by Plasma screen sets. The major problem with plasma was the price - you could easily end up paying 3 or 4 times to price for s a similar sized TFT screen. Major improvements have now put the LCD TV's on a par with Plasma but for a much lower price.ration have announced larger sized models:
LCD technology is based on the properties of polarized light. Two thin polarized panels sandwich a thin liquid-crystal gel that is divided into individual pixels. An X/Y grid of wires allows each pixel in the array to be activated individually. When an LCD pixel darkens, it polarizes at 90 degrees to the polarizing screens.
The picture quality of an LCD has got to the point where's it
amazing - especially when viewed in full HD (HD
channel has been termed by some users as "simply astounding"). The 42
LCD screen delivers stunning results - whether you're a
football lover who wants to sink into the game with no disctractions
(of course) to movie fans hooked up to their home cinema.
