Big Screen Tv Types

Bring the cinema experience into your home with a large screen TV.


Invest in a big screen television and you can transform the living room of your house into your own mini cinema. Forget the movie crowds and prices and instead invite your friends over to enjoy your favorite film on a larger-than-life TV screen. However, size is not everything, and thanks to new technology there are several types of large screen TVs available, including those with 3D technologies and high definition capabilities.


3D TVs


Since 2009 and the popularity of cinema blockbusters such as Avatar and Alice in Wonderland in 3D, the possibility of bringing such visual technologies into your own home now exists. The TV itself works by tricking your brain into thinking that both eyes are seeing one complete picture at a time, when in reality the screen actually projects separate images between each eye to give the illusion of a completed 3D picture. To see the dimensions properly you also need a Blu-ray 3D DVD player and a pair of 3D glasses, which block each eye at a rapid rate and ensure that the left and right image sides are projected to the intended eye. Some of the more reputable and reliable 3D big screen TV models include the 63-inch Samsung PN63C8000 and the 65-inch Panasonic TC-P65VT25.


HDTVs


High definition televisions (known as HDTVs) are sets that produce a higher resolution picture than other standard TVs. The biggest difference between a conventional set and a high definition set is the pixel count. Pixels are the minuscule dots that make up a TV screen and produce the color and display of any program or film. A HDTV screen has up to double the amount of pixels, thus making the image resolution higher and the picture sharper and more defined. HDTV is best enjoyed on a large screen so as to get the most out of a pixel-perfect picture, and some of the more popular models include the 82-inch Mitsubishi WD-82737 and the 65-inch Panasonic Viera TC-P65S2.


LCD TVs


An LCD TV works by using a matrix of thin-filled transistors--known as TFTs--to charge a thin layer of liquid-crystal-filled cells wedged between two sheets of glass. When the electrical charge from the TFTs hits the cells, they become untwisted to an exact degree and filter a specific amount of white light through the screen. This process is known as subtraction and the crystal cells block out certain wavelengths of color until the desired shade or tone is projected through to make an image. Like an HDTV, you are only going to get the most immersive experience with a larger TV where the rich colors of the LCD screen will be much clearer and more obvious. Some large screen models to consider include the 55-inch Samsung LN55C650 and the 65-inch Phillips BDL655IV.
