LCD TV VS. PLASMA VS. CRT VS. HDTV (IN one of those big tvs)?
Question: I HAVE UP to 8 feet in tv viewing
Answers: Plasma has the best quality, but if a still image is left on it (news, video games, picture viewing) for a long time it burns to the screen.
LCD doesn't project blacks as well, but it usually cheaper, thinner, and are improving the fastest.
CRT are the cheapest, project the best quality blacks (which can effect the whole image), but are wide and large.
HDTV can be in any of these formats, project 400% pixles (tiny color dots on the screen) more than normal televisions. They have a life of 40,000 hours (80,000?). I don't own one, but they are jaw-dropping-nice! AND, you can watch them from pretty close, and the picture quality still looks great! (But not too close of course)
:)
(By the way, 60,000 hours equals many years in a home! Even if you watched 10 hours of tv a day, you would get over 2 years of solid television!)
CRT's are still the most reliable.
plasmas and lcd's burn out after 60k viewing hours
..what is the question?
I have an LCD and a Plasma...the LCD has a better picture and was a whole lot cheaper. I would buy another LCD before I buy another Plasma. I have HT on both of them and I bought the extended warranties so when they wear our as some people call it they will be replaced for free, though a friend of mine is in sales at Circut City and he has not heard of one wearing out yet. Good luck
if you have 8 feet and want to use the most of it, go with a projector. They are about 500 to 2000 dollars and can be awsome if you can get the room dark enough. But if you are looking for a tv that can be used in light and dark situations, LCD is the way to go. If you treat them right the are rated to go 4 hours for 30 years. So since we all know we will watch more than just 4 hours of tv a day it lifespan will be less, but do you really need the same tv in 15 years? I would stay away from plasma, They get to hot and run a mich higher risk or burn-in . Burn in is when a certain picture is on to long the image burns itself in and will be able to be seen all the time. A good place to see this is an arcade. Go look at some of their older games and you will be able to see insert coin\credit and other objects that are on the screen too long. CRT also have this problem but it is lessened only by a little.
The only problem with LCD you will need to look for is viewing angle. Make sure you do not need to be right in front to see it, but you can stand to the side and still see it.
I would actually look at the Sony 42 A10. It is a rear projection LCD.
For the money, it should be a great value.
Don't buy a CRT because you can't watch analog and they are not widescreen? Where have you been living for the past 10 years, under a rock. They have CRT TVs that are both HD (can watch HD sourced material either OTA with a receiver, through cable or satellite, video game systems, HD-DVD, Blu-ray or the computer) and are also widescreen. They have been this way for a long time.
don't get a CRT, they are going to stop making them in about 2008, if you have one in about 2009 you will have to buy an analog box in order to watch any tv at all. and tv shows are going to be in widescreen as well, so when you are watching tv the picture will be small with 2 black lines. both plasma and lcd could have problems and if need fixing will in the long cost the same, but lcd tends to be a bit cheaper to buy. Buy a high def widescreen.it is probaly your best bet, their cheap, they will survive the changes all the companies are making and still have really good picture and are relativley inexpensive to fix compared to lcd or plasma. small tip--> always buy extended warranty if offered, any problem your tv encounters will be taken care of at no cost to you!
