Whether you are considering replacing your old, 19-inch television set or buying your first new TV, you are probably wondering which among the latest technologies you should subscribe to. Should you go with an LCD TV, a sleek plasma TV style HD TV television, or should you take your chances with the newer 3D TV? In order to help you decide, here are some insights on the main differences between these latest televisions.
First up is the LCD (short for "liquid crystal display") TV. Generally, the main reason for choosing this over a plasma TV is if you have a bright room. LCD TVs have less reflective screens and show brighter pictures, they also look better when used in day-lit rooms. Additionally, with LCD TVs, you do not have to worry about seeing your reflection whenever you are watching in the dark. While the difference may be initially small, LCD TVs also tend to use less power than most plasma TVs, so purchasing them may actually be more environmentally friendly. There is actually an upgrade to the LCD TV, the LED TV, which produces even better and more accurate colors than its predecessor.

On the other hand, a plasma TV may be better if you are planning to have your very own home theater system. There are two main reasons why this is so: the picture quality and the viewing angle. Plasma TVs have higher contrast and deeper black levels that produce rich colors and stunning visual imagery in dimmer-lit rooms. The images in a plasma TV also look virtually the same from every angle. The best angle for LCD TVs is usually at the center only, so it is not very ideal when you want to entertain a large number of people with the latest flick. HD TV Wall mounts will come in handy for getting the best viewing position for your new latest television.
3D may just be the newest trend when it comes to the latest televisions. A 3D-ready television set works by using the stereoscopic effect. In here, two sets of images are shown at the same time, with one set meant specifically for one eye. The space between the two eyes creates a new viewing angle-that is, the third dimension. A 3D TV will allow you to see the latest 3D flick at the very comforts of your own home, but remember that 3D content is still fairly limited. Additionally, this can be even more expensive considering that you also have to purchase LCD glasses.
