After an exhausting day at work it’s nice to relax in front of the TV. Chilling-out is important for our physical and mental health, we all need a rest. Enjoy the fruits of your labour and treat yourself to a big widescreen television. Because hey, it’s important to be a couch potato now and again so why not make the most of it. Several types of display technologies are currently being used in modern televisions:LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), Plasma, LED (Light Emitting Diode), Rear Projection, and more recently 3D. These High Definition televisions are rapidly replacing Cathode Ray Tube (CTR) TVs which are being phased out in the existing market. LCD TV seems to be the most popular choice among consumers, and it’s easy to see why.

An LCD TV can adapt to nearly any light condition. Technological developments in backlighting systems have improved the performance of LCDs Televisions. The beauty of these flat screens are that your eyes will not become strained even in the darkest of lights as flickering (a common feature in CTRs) is nonexistent in LCD TVs. The system is also more energy efficient TV performance. With LCD TVs you can watch from almost any angle in the room due to its flat screen and ability to tilt. Your viewing angle can be anything up to a 160 degree angle, with the function to tilt the TV 80 degrees in either direction from the centre point. This is useful function if you plan to use the screen as a computer monitor, which is simply done by supplying input from Laptops and other video formats.

When it comes down to picking a particularly brand it will be tough to beat a Panasonic LCD TV. The brand incorporates the ‘Vierra Cast’ technology into its products, receiving prominence in the V10 and G15 series. The IPS Alpha panel with large aperture ratios is another stand-out feature. Meanwhile, Samsung have launched the latest Touch of Colour design technology in its Series 6 Samsung LCD TV.
