Posted in Television on October 11th, 2010 by Jim – Comments Off

The options that are available in television market are now greater than ever. This makes choosing which television to buy more complicated than ever, especially for the average consumer who doesn’t understand all of the technologies that are available. Every consumer wants to make the right choice and get the best value for their money. This is even more important when buying a big screen TV as the cost involved can be considerable.

The basic categories of television that are available are LCD, plasma and LED TVs. LCD TVs have been around for some time now and are considered the affordable all rounder as they produce great results for viewing – regular TV channels, movies, sports and gaming. There is more choice available in this category than the others. Plasmas excel in producing great quality colours. They used to be considered to be at the top end of the market but this is no longer the case, they are only marginally more expensive than LCDs and are out-priced particularly by high-end LED TVs.

LED TVs are the newest incumbent on the market. They are by definition an LCD TV, the difference being that they use LED lights rather than fluorescent lamps to illuminate the LCD panel, hence the name. The benefits that this offers are that they produce a wider color gamut and have design benefits in terms of the slimness of the panels. They come in two varieties, edge-lit and back-lit. Edge-lit LED TVs are usually super slim, and produce marginally better colors than LCDs. Back-lit LED TVs can still be quite slim, but the real benefit is in terms of color reproduction and contrast levels (especially when they utilize locally dimmable lighting).

The thing that should influence your choice more than any other factor is your budget. LED TVs still come at a premium price, especially the back-lit models with local dimming. You should decide what size television you require for your particular circumstances, and then see what models both match the size of display and budget. If you find that that an LED TV fits with both these factors then you can take your pick. But if the models within your price range turn out to be LCD and plasma models then don’t be put off. LCD and plasma televisions are better value and produce better quality images than ever. Don’t compromise the size of television screen that you need in order to just own an LED model, you are better opting for an LCD or plasma TV that fits all your criteria rather than an LED model that is too small.

Lastly 3D TV is the very latest innovation which has recently exploded onto the scene. All three technologies previously mentioned are available as 3D Ready TV models and off course this feature costs extra. This needs to be factored in when making your choice.

Since there are different types of slots, these cables come in different types of ports. The Dvi-I is known for the interface cable which performs both digital and analog. People normally get this type of wire more often because you get both functions into one wire. The Dvi-A is for analog function and the Dvi-D is for digital function. You can’t plug a Dvi-A into a Dvi-D port because the pins are different. If you force the wrong wire into the wrong port, it will break the pins.
