In the world of high definition television the LG HDTV range of televisions are right up there with the very best. LG’s range of LCD, plasma and LED HDTVs offer sleek looks and state of the art technology that produce outstanding high definition pictures for the viewer. LG offer a complete range of screen sizes, capabilities and prices from which every consumer can find a model that is right for their needs
LG Plasma HDTV
Plasma TVs are large flat screen TVs that generate their own light when gases react with the phosphors in each pixel. The result is that they produce high contrast ratios, vivid colors and seamless high motion pictures. Compared to LCDs they produce deep blacks and a wide color reproduction range. It can be said that they are also easier to view in variable light conditions and at greater angles than LCDs. It is for all these this reasons they are regarded by some as the best option for watching movies and sports.
LCD are have a fixed amount of pixels which consist of three primary color sub-pixels which control the amount of light which is passed through each color from the backlight to produce the required image. The popularity of LCDs is due to the wide range of available screen sizes, their all-round performance and affordable price. They are the popular choice for use with video games.
LG LED HDTV
Broadly speaking LED HDTVs come in two varieties the edge-lit and back-lit. Still utilizing an LCD panel, both types of lighting system use LEDs to produce the light which creates the images via the LCD pixels. The difference in the two methods simply relates to where the LEDs are located and the effect this has on the design and qualities of images produced.
Back-lit LED HDTVs use many LEDs segments directly behind the entire LCD panel, each of which individually controls the brightness of the images that are displayed. The effect is stunning contrast, clarity and colors and true black images that are unachievable in standard LCD TVs. The LG LED HDTVs implementation of this technology is so impressive that it is the only LED TV to achieve THX Certification as a endorsement of its quality.
Edge-lit LED HDTVs as the name would suggest situates the LEDs round the edge of the panel. The light is deflected from at the rear of the display to produce the images on the screen. The benefit of this method is that it possible to produce ultra-thin (as little as 1 inch thick) stylish displays that still maintain impressive levels of brightness and colors, however local dimming is not possible as with back-lit LED HDTVs.
