Top 3 Ways To Buy An LCD TV
This may come as a surprise to you. Just like other types of big screen TVs, LCD flat screen TVs have some disadvantages, as well. Yes, it's true. For example, LCD TVs have lower contrast ratios than plasmas, because they have a harder time reproducing deep black and dark grays. Their screen also tend to be thicker than plasma screens.
However, a LCD flat screen TV is not susceptible to burn-in and usually is less expensive than plasma televisions.
LCD TVs also run cooler than plasma TVs, thereby minimizing the need for noisy fan cooling. Many LCD sets can double as a PC monitors, as well. In terms of longevity, LCD flat screen TVs can last up to 60,000 hours, whereas plasma TVs, on average, last 30,000 to 40,000 hours.

LCD TV Wall Mounts
LCD TVs provide high resolution images that can be seen from almost all angles. Even overhead TVs can provide very good picture quality. This has made it possible for LCD TVs to be mounted on walls, or even ceilings. Mounting LCD TVs is an ideal solution in places where more floor area is required, like restaurants, discotheques, airports and metro terminals and also in homes where the rooms are small.
LCD TVs are mounted by special wall mounts. These are ideally made of metal.
Ordinary mounts allow the TV to be fixed on the wall. But there are more sophisticated types that have several rotation angles to make it possible to turn the TV if required. They also have hinge joints on their arms which makes it possible to either pull the TV farther from the wall, or to push it back in. Wall mounts with swivels can even provide rotation of the TV around a horizontal axis.
The first consideration when buying a wall mount must be its sturdiness. LCD TVs, being...
