The Advantages of an LCD Television over CRT

September 30, 2011  //  Posted by: cooldude  //  Category: TV / HDTV

The Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) gives you an absolute edge over its old counterpart by its sleek design and feather weight built. These Tfts are compact and best suited for stationary or stagnant displays, especially as computer monitors.

Because of their compactness, they occupy very little area unlike the Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT) and therefore they are easy to maneuver with. You can hang it or screw it on the wall and add this distinct look to your interior.

Technically speaking, the LCDs are unaffected by magnetic interference. This can be explained by a simple example; when you take your mobile phone (while on call) near a CRT monitor, it starts flickering due to the magnetic interference. And when the LCD is exposed to the same, zilch happens.

The vantage in which every common man is interested in is low power consumption due to its unique thin film transistor liquid crystal display technology.
