Home Theatre Available At Your High-End Ottawa Electronics Store
Your old big screen CRT television was a top of the line model when you picked it up twelve years ago; you purchased it with a bonus cheque from your very first job out of university. It’s followed you to three different apartments since then, even though it is a brute to move. Now the picture is starting to go and, since your current lease is up at the end of next month, you’re wondering if you actually want to muscle the thing into and out of one more moving truck. You have been looking at the new flat screens out there for a while and you are pretty much convinced that a new HDTV and Blu-Ray player are on the horizon. The only question now is what kind of TV are you planning to buy?
## LCD TV
Liquid Crystal Display or LCD is easily the most widespread television technology on the market today. LCD TVs come in regular or high definition and the engineering allows for wide screen aspect ratio screens, something which was tricky for the CRT TVs of the past. Reasonably priced and readily available the two most generally cited disadvantages of LCD sets are contrast ratio and response time.
## LED TV
An LED or Light Emitting Diode TV is in fact an LCD TV which uses LED technology as opposed to cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) as the light source. These are not as readily available and are more expensive but offer better colour range and higher dynamic contrast and draw less power than standard LCD screens.
## Plasma TV
These large glass screens are composed of small cells of electrically charged ionized gas and boast the best picture and widest viewing angle of any TVs on the market. They are significantly heavier than LCD TVs though. They also draw a lot of power and are susceptible to screen burn-in from static images.
## 3D TV
3D-Ready TVs are typically LED backlit LCD TVs which are capable of operating in either 3D or 2D mode depending on the signal received. The 3D mode requires glasses to enjoy the effect. There are commercial Full 3D (or autostereoscopic) sets under development which will allow 3D images without the need for glasses.
There is no good reason to delay replacing that old CRT TV any further. The new generation flat screen TVs are affordable and provide unbelievable picture fidelity and sound.
