LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) TV

Advantages

• LCDs are good for still images and make good computer monitors. So, if you're looking for a screen for TV and computer use, LCDs are a good bet
• Quality LCDs have excellent brightness level pictures.
• LCD flat panels don't take up room and can be mounted on walls. In addition, LCDs are typically slightly lighter than Plasma TVs.
• Quality LCDs have a fairly long life, especially compared to older models (roughly 13-15 years at a six-hour per day pace.
• There are more 1080p LCD models than plasma (you'll see a sharper picture with a 1080p model).

Disadvantages

• LCDs are not good for fast-moving pictures. When an object moves quickly across the screen, the image "delays" (there are trails of pixilation or blockingess), because the screen can't keep up. For this reason, LCDs that are 37" or smaller generally have better image quality because the delay is less noticeable than on larger LCDs.
• LCD TVs have difficulty with black levels
• LCD image looks great when you're staring directly at it, but if you are watching from a slanted view the quality of the image can diminish greatly.
• LCDs are very expensive over 35"
• LCDs sometimes have pixel failure. This isn't a common problem with top name brands, where one or two pixels might eventually die, leaving a black dot here and there. This is hardly noticeable unless you're standing directly in front of the screen (considering a 20" LCD screen has 30,000 pixels). However, in cheaper models where 10% of the pixels could go out, the TV may become unwatchable.
