so which is best crt or lcd tv who really knows?

Answer 1

crt are physically much larger. they do have an excellent picture, but if you want something that looks the part its got to be lcd. up to 42" lcd are far better than plasma. above this some people say plasma have a slight edge. if you intend gaming on it avoid plasma. the best on the market at present is the sony bravia range.

Answer 2

that one guy with the really long answer was ok but the rest of these guys dont really know anything. really. first of all sony is not a good company , against popular belief, sony product might be ok quality. but the company as a whole are very deceptive and greedy money hungry corporate but holes. believe me i have person experience. they produce very negative karma as a company , that is why i will never buy a sony.. as to your question of which is better crt or lcd . there is no question about it crt is much better. it is heavy and bulky put picture quality is much better. and crts have been around since tv was invented is has been tried and true . they have perfected the technology. the lcds are relativly new and still have bugs. yes it is good technology and the screen sizes that are achievable are amazing but it still has a ways to go in my book. and you didnt ask about any other types of tvs so im not gonna get into them.

Answer 3

I still believe that a TV with a CRT is better in terms of picture quality but Plasma and LCD TVs are definitely getting there. What would I buy right now? Well a really good Sony Bravia model; they are pretty d*mn good and you don't have all the weighty bulk of the CRT.

Answer 4

depends on viewers preference and subject matter. dont neglect plasma or projection TV's from your research, both are good for the right purpose.

All of the following will probably be available in high definition

Types of TV Screens

The television screen that you finally choose will determine the quality of your viewing experience.

It is therefore important that you familiar yourself with the different picture tubes and flat panels that are available in the market. Summarised below is the latest information regarding the different kinds of picture tubes and flat screen panels that are currently in the marketplace.

Flat Picture Tubes
Today's most modern televisions have flat picture tubes. Picture tubes always used to have a convex shape - curved from the middle out to the edge. With flat picture tubes there is no curvature of the television screen. Flat tubes offer a better picture than convex tubes when viewed from the side and often feature antiglare glass.

Plasma Screens
Plasma television screens work very well under most ambient light conditions because the screen pictures are created by thousands of gas cells emitting ultraviolet light. This means that very bright light does not wash out the image on the screen. The beauty of these flat screens is that, unlike front view projection screens, you don't have to turn off the lights to see the image clearly and easily which make them excellent for watching DVD's and high definition television programmes. Another characteristic of a plasma panel is the extreme viewing angles both vertically and horizontally. With 160 degrees viewing angle, people sitting off to the side of the plasma screen will still be able to see the image.

LCD screens
Liquid Crystel Display (LCD) television screens are significantly brighter than most traditional picture tube sets and offer higher picture contrast with no picture flicker. This means that LCD TVs perform well under most ambient light conditions as well as viewing in a well lit room. High quality LCD screens also allow viewing up to 80 degrees from the centre of the display. The picture quality of a LCD screen is determined by how close the colour and sub-colour pixels are to each other (called dot pitch). When choosing a LCD screen it is important to remember that the higher the dot pitch then the sharper and more realistic the picture will be.

Rear Projection Screens
Rear projection televisions have very large screens, however they are generally lighter and slimmer than traditional cathode ray tube televisions. They work on the principle of a projector inside the television that transmits the picture by bouncing it off thousands of tiny mirrors. The market is now split between Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), Digital Light Processing (DLP) and Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) units with specific brands now focusing on individual technologies. These television units can now provide excellent picture quality in both fully lit and darkened rooms

The Picture Frequency
Picture frequency (or picture flicker) of 100Hz is a relatively new advance. Ordinary televisions flicker at 50 Hz, which is sufficiently high for most people not to notice. Screen flicker is barely obvious when the TV is viewed from the front, but when viewed at an angle it becomes noticeable. 100 Hz screens eliminate the flicker effect making viewing a more pleasurable experience - but this does come at a higher price.

Please note that many manufacturers have have developed their own brand names for specific screen technologies, which is why you may find different names amongst similar television models.

Answer 5

none of them. HD TV is the best, high definition television, where you can watch the TV like in the cinema - 3D vieing.
