Compare TV-Sets
Direct view (CRT)
Mature, proven
technology. Least expensive type of TV, with best video
quality. Maximum screen size limited. Larger sets are big, bulky,
and heavy (more than 200 pounds).
Still the standard for top picture
quality, these offer wide selection and best value.
LCD
Thin and
light. Can be wall-mounted. Sleek look. No risk of burn-in of static
images. Some can double as a computer display. Maximum screen size
limited--for now, at least. Larger models can be costly. Image may
dim as you angle away from center of screen. Have less contrast than
direct-view sets. Trendy flat screen with decent picture quality,
but much more expensive than similar-sized direct-view sets.
Plasma
Thin and wall-mountable. Sleek
look. High brightness and contrast. Power-hungry. Generate lots of
heat. Some lack speakers and tuner. Burn-in of static images a
concern. Fairly heavy. Wall-mounting can be costly. Big, bright
screens with a real wow factor, but expensive.
Rear projection
(CRT-based)
Lowest price for big-screen TV, with wide selection and
plentiful features. Big, bulky, and heavy. CRTs need periodic
realignment. Image may dim as you angle away from center of screen.
May require professional installation. The lowest-cost big screens,
but they?re space hogs.
Rear projection (LCD- and DLP-based)
Thinner
and lighter than CRT-based siblings. No risk of burn-in. Higher
resolution than CRT-based units. Pricey, especially for bigger
screens. LCD-based: black parts of image not truly black. Image may
dim as you angle away from center of screen. Backlight bulb may need
periodic replacement. Relative slimness makes them an attractively
priced big-screen alternative to expensive flat panels.
