| Advantages of LCD Displays |  It's easier to watch. LCD TVs are significantly brighter and feature higher contrasts than traditional TV sets. That’s mean that an LCD TV can work very good under most ambient light conditions. A brightly lit room won't wash out its picture, nor will lamplight cause a glare on your television screen. The advantage of these flat screens is that you don't have to turn out the lights to see the image clearly and easily. You should not worry about eyestrain, since LCD TV’s flicker doesn’t work the way old-fashioned TVs do.
You can watch TV from almost anywhere in a room since flat-screen LCD television displays can have up to a 160° viewing angle, which means your TV will look good when viewed from any point 80° in either direction from the center of the display.
You can watch your new television right out of the box because the tuner is included. LCD TVs usually include tuners and speakers which are already built in, so they're more or less plug-and-play devices. LCD TVs are ideal for smaller applications, because most of them don't require external tuning devices. You can put your LCD TV at the place, where space is at a premium (like bedrooms and small living rooms) or where clutter is uncomfortable (like crowed kitchen countertops).
Some LCD televisions may have outboard media receivers. Always get to know about extra hardware before you buy: You won't always see your LCD monitor pictured with an external receiver (even if it has one), so it's up to you to find out whether there is any "extra" hardware you need to know about.
The picture is smooth and colorful. LCDs will never disturb you with those scan lines that conventional sets have. This is because each subpixel has its own transistor electrode, which produces smooth, evenly lit images across the entire surface of the display. It also provides these displays with possibility to produce images that are satiated with color.
LCD technology was improved and it increased the response time of these displays, resulting in even smoother on-screen presentations. Response time is time it takes a pixel to "refresh" itself - i.e., to go from being active to being inactive. Slower response times (>20ms) can cause an effect known as "streaking" or "trailing", the image on the panel lag and appear jerky. Slower response time can cause another phenomenon known as "ghosting." It is mean that the display switches quickly from light to dark states (or vice-versa). In these instances, on-screen images may appear to stay on the screen belatedly.
