What is the difference between flat screen TVs and LCD TVs and the advantages and disadvantages of each?

While more and more people are using their cell phones to watch video programs, they still can't replace the status of television in people's minds. Television is still standing in the home appliance market, but the types of television sets with the development of science and technology has a new development, for example, there are now flat-panel TVs, flat-panel TVs seem to be thin, light, but how do we distinguish between flat-panel TVs and LCD TVs in terms of performance and parameters? Together to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each of them.

What is the difference between flat panel TVs and LCD TVs

The performance of today's televisions is mainly reflected in the increasing focus on the people's viewing experience, which can be a lot to learn.

1. the clarity of the two contrast

The production of LCD TV companies often claim that the clarity of the plasma TV to be one step higher, and claimed that the current plasma TV claimed that the highest physical resolution, but 10241024, and almost all of the LCD TVs can be achieved in 1024768 high-resolution, the highest has been 19201080. in fact, the market sale of plasma TVs physical resolution of the plasma TV, the highest resolution, the plasma TV can be achieved. In fact, the market sales of plasma TV physical resolution of most of only 852480, only a few plasma TV physical resolution to 1024768. but decide the clarity of flat-panel TVs is not just the physical resolution of the screen, the circuitry of the high-definition signal processing is also a direct impact on the clarity of the physical resolution of the screen to judge from the screen is not sufficient. Therefore, LCD TV manufacturers simply from the physical resolution of the screen to attack plasma TV is not scientific enough.

2. Comparison of the angle of view

No matter how LCD TV defense, plasma TV in the angle of view is better than LCD TV, of course, plasma TV is not without perspective problems. For the living room, bedroom with a TV, few people will be in more than 120 degrees to see the TV, so from this point of view, both sides of the attack on the viewing angle is not necessary.

3. Comparison of response speed

Response speed used to be the weakness of LCD TVs, and recently, although there have been great technical improvements, it has sometimes been used as an attack on LCD TVs by companies producing plasma TVs. Some companies claim that their LCD TV response time has been reduced to 8 milliseconds, but in fact, most of the LCD TVs sold on the market response time of about 12 milliseconds. Even if the response time has been declared down to 8 milliseconds of LCD TVs, in the playback of fast-motion images there is still trailing phenomenon, because the 8 milliseconds of response time claimed by the enterprise is measured in the case of playing a still image. For a fast-moving black image or white image, LCD TVs have a slight trailing phenomenon, but this does not mean that plasma TVs are perfect in this regard, for fast-moving white objects, plasma TVs will also have a mild trailing phenomenon, only when the fast-moving objects are replaced by black, there will be no trailing phenomenon occurs.

4, the two burn comparison

Plasma TV in the processing of motion images better than LCD TV, but when the static image for a long time in the plasma screen in the same position, there may be burns. When the plasma TV burn phenomenon, switching on and off, the screen will appear vaguely on the long time to play that image, as if printed on the screen, and this has become the object of some LCD TV manufacturers to attack the plasma TV.

5. Contrast between the two

If you look purely at the contrast figures labeled by companies in the plasma and LCD TVs, LCD TVs are far worse than plasma TVs, but you can't say that plasma TVs are better than LCD TVs. This is because plasma TVs and LCD TVs use different contrast measurement methods, and even each company uses a different measurement method, they are labeled on their own products, of course, there will be a big difference in the data. Most plasma TVs use all-white, all-black measurement, contrast ratio is generally very high, some companies claim that its contrast ratio up to 8000:1 is the reason. If measured in accordance with the American National Standard ANSI, plasma TVs and LCD TVs, most of the contrast ratio of 200:1 or 300:1 or so, this measurement is the same image displayed in black and white for comparison.

6. Analog and digital comparison of the two

Plasma TV manufacturers attacked LCD TVs displaying images that are analog, while plasma TVs are fully digital. But when it comes to picture quality, analog images feel smooth, while digital images feel jumpy. Mutual strengths and weaknesses of the respective sales volume and sales in the market above 40 inches, plasma TVs have a clear advantage, although Sharp has produced 45-inch LCD TVs and began to market, but by the limitations of high-generation LCD panels have not been mass-produced, LCD TVs in large sizes can not be compared with plasma TVs. In the market below 30 inches, LCD TVs compared with plasma TVs also occupy an absolute advantage, but, at present, there is no plasma TVs smaller than 40 inches in the Chinese market.

The advantages and disadvantages of each

The advantages of flat-panel TVs are high contrast levels, weaknesses are high-power, relatively power-consuming. The advantages of LCD TVs are low power, low radiation, good color, and the disadvantages are slow response time, serious image trailing, and low level brightness.

Whether it is flat-panel TV or LCD TV, I think it is still important to look at personal preferences and home space layout, if you need a large screen, naturally LCD TV is a higher priority, if the pursuit of high-definition, flat-panel TVs will also be a better choice. Of course, you have to consider the budget to buy a TV.
