Flat-panel TVs: Plasma and LCD

Flat-panel TVs create beautifully bright, crisp images using either plasma or LCD (Liquid Crystal
Display) panels. Many models measure 4 inches deep or less, opening up a whole new range of
TV placement options. Mounted on a wall, a flat-panel TV becomes part of your room instead
of part of the furniture — think of it as a picture window you can change with the touch of a button.

Thanks to steady improvements in recent years, flat-panel TVs now compete in most ways with the
picture-quality benchmark: high-quality tube TVs. Flat-panel screens continue to get bigger and better,
and the best news is they're getting cheaper, too.

The digital technology inside flat-panel sets has many benefits.

Flat-panel advantages:

• Shallow depth and light weight expand placement options. Wall-mounting is the most space-
  efficient approach, but most people place their flat-panel sets on a table or cabinet. If you
  are considering wall-mounting, plasma TVs weigh more than LCDs (but still much less than
  a same-sized tube TV).
• Digital display precision: Plasma and LCD TVs are digital displays, creating images by
  illuminating a fixed grid of tiny pixels . Actually, every pixel has three sub- pixels: one each
  for red, green and blue. Color and brightness information are precisely controlled at the
  sub-pixel level, resulting in a palette of millions or even billions of possible colors.
• Immunity to magnetic picture distortion: Plasma and LCD screens are not affected by the
  magnets inside unshielded loudspeakers, giving you more system placement options. (If
  you've ever placed a speaker too close to a tube TV and noticed a weird discolored area
  of the screen, that's magnetic distortion.)
• Perfectly flat screens mean that flat-panel TVs maintain perfect image focus and geometry from
  top to bottom, side to side, and corner to corner. Straight lines look straight. Even the newer
  flat-faced tube TVs show distortions at the screen edges due to the angle of the electron gun
