Televisions
Televisions have 3 different technologies, CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and Plasma.
CRT Televisions
The oldest technology available and are becoming less common now. CRT technology was used on the very first televisions. Some great deals can be found on CRT televisions with 32" televisions costing just £300.
LCD Televisions
The latest televisions available. LCD has fast become the most popular choice in televisions. They have a slim design, and take up much less space than CRT televisions. With the introduction of LCD televisions screen sizes have become much larger. It's quite common for the average family home to have a large 40" television.
Plasma Televisions
Plasma technology was the original slim television technology. It's quickly being overtaken by LCD televisions as the television of choice for a large flat screen. The picture quality of a plasma television is better than both LCD televisions and CRT televisions but plasma televisions a recommended to have the gas replaced once per year.
HD - High Definition
HD offers much greater picture quality over standard televisions. Most of the modern televisions will support HD but at the moment there are limited HD broadcasts available. Sky and Virgin Media provide limited HD broadcasts but Freeview does not provide any. It's thought that HD will be the thing of the future and we recommend buying a television that has HD so that you don't miss out when HD becomes widely available.
Freeview Digital Television
By 2012 all television broadcasts will be digital. If the television you buy does not support freeview it will mean you need will need an additional set to box to view future television broadcasts. Most new televisions support freeview, we recommend buying a television that does support it.
PC Input
Many new televisions support PC input, this will allow you to connect your computer to your television using a standard VGA monitor cable.
