LCD flat panel televisions are an excellent choice for space-saving applications since they have a very thin depth and are wall-mountable. Units that have RGB ports can also double as a computer monitor, and those with built-in terrestrial receivers are optimal for watching HDTV broadcasts.
LCD TVs use a thin liquid crystal gel that is placed between two polarized panels and divided into pixels. The intensity and color of each pixel depends on the amount of electrical current and type of color filter applied to it.
Although smaller in size than Plasmas, LCD TVs have higher resolution per size and are becoming larger and more affordable. They feature a bright display with high contrast and a 160° viewing angle, with built in speakers.
