Q. So i want to get a tv that has really good video quality that i would use it to watch tv (standard definition), play a lot of video games, and watch my blu ray movies. I have read that there is a burn in problem with video games on a plasma, but what if i don't keep a still image while playing? I also read that the burn in problem isn't as bad as it use to be. I plan on getting it in 1080p with 120hz or more.


Answer
Well here are the pros and cons of Liquid Crystal display:

Unlike most television technologies, Liquid crystal display (LCD) works by filtering light. LCD TVs use less electricity and generate far less heat because unlike creating light filtering light requires a low voltage. LCD TVs have their drawbacks, such as price when compared to plasma TVs with the same screen dimensions.

Today heavy and bulky are not the only TV options, thin and light flat screen TVs are immensely popular. LCD televisions weigh less than a plasma TV of the same screen size. An LCD television is easy to move around your home and is a great option for tailgating. Any surface that will support a painting will generally support mounting of an LCD TV.

LCD TVs have brilliant color definition and unrivaled screen brightness that last for the life of the set. An LCD television on the other hand suffers from not-as-deep black levels compared to plasmas and CRTs because the LCD TV filters rather than creates light.

The deepest black on LCD Television is often a very dark gray because of the way some light will always pass through. Additionally, direct view LCDs generally have narrower viewing angles than comparable plasma TVs because of the manner in which light passes through the LCD cell.

Unlike many plasma TVs, most LCDs have a non-reflective face that prevents room lighting from degrading picture quality. Plasma, however, generally processes motion better than an LCD Television. 50Hz LCDs suffer from ghosting, which is trail left behind moving images. An alternative to the 50Hz TV is the 100Hz, while far more expensive does not suffer from ghosting and creates better black levels.

An issue that plagues all HDTVs is an inability to maintain picture quality while displaying analog and standard digital signals. LCDs tend to suffer from this fault worse than plasmas. Almost all LCD TVs now include high quality up-scaling chips that process the low-resolution signal and convert it to the TV's native resolution. This processing creates a cleaner, smoother motion with fewer artifacts and more preserved detail. However, the result is still generally inferior to similar processing on a plasma TV.

Another advantage of LCD TV is that they are not susceptible to burn-in, which could be a consideration for gamers and users who will use them to display a computer desktop. All phosphor based displays, such as plasma, rear projection, and CRT, are susceptible to burn-in, meaning that static images can leave an impression (or shadow) burned onto the screen. A counterpoint to this is that today's plasmas are highly resistant (but not impervious) to burn-in.

A plasma TV's light output degrades with time due to phosphor wear while an LCD Television's light output will be constant for its entire lifespan. LCD TVs' have a rated lifespan of 60K hours, which is ten years if it is used sixteen hours per day and far longer for most owners. In addition, the industry will soon conquer LCD TVs' current limitations and the strengths of the technology give it great long-term viability.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Televisions
Technology Overview & Description
Liquid Crystal Display, or LCD TVs use a florescent backlight (see LED Backlight Technologies for an update) to send light through its liquid crystal molecules and a polarizing substrate. LCD TVs work passively, with red, green and blue pixels. By applying voltage to the pixels using a matrix of wires, the pixels can be darkened to prevent the backlight from showing through. Many LCD displays double as computer displays by allowing standard analogue VGA input, a great option if you need your display to pull double duty as a PC monitor to save money and space. Nearly all LCD TVs offer flexible mounting options including walls or under cabinets.


What's Next
Thinner, bigger, faster, cheaper. Direct view LCD screens are just starting to break the size barrier that once held them back (with some models getting as large as 100+" though don't expect volume shipments) and it will be up to the manufacturing plants to convert or expand to the point where these larger screens become affordable and economical to produce. LCDs are not yet the best for black levels, but they are getting better due to LED backlighting and the "blur" effect, where the pixels cannot refresh fast enough for the screen motion, is all but extinct in newer 120Hz models.


LCD Display Advantages
Good color reproduction and improving contrast (high contrast tied to peak brightness capability however)
Very thin, getting thinner (thank Hitachi and Sharp)

Relatively lightweight with flexible mounting options
Perfect sharpness at native resolution
Excellent longevity
Among the brightest direct view displays
No practical screen burn-in effect
Silent with no moving parts or fans
LCD Display Disadvantages
Notorious "screen door" effect on smaller mobile displays
Very difficult to produce deep black
