15-19 Inch LCD TVs

Liquid crystal display television (LCD TV) is a television using LCD technology for its visual output. This technology is generally TFT. It is contrasted to alternate visual output technologies, such as cathode ray or plasma. more...

Early LCD television had drawbacks relative to traditional visual display technologies. It displayed fast-moving action with "ghosting" and could be viewed best only looking straight at the screen or from a slight angle. These problems have largely been overcome in recent years, and LCD televisions, along with plasma displays, have taken over the dominant market position worldwide from cathode ray displays.

For a long time it was widely believed that LCD technology was suited only to smaller sized televisions, and could not compete with plasma technology at larger sizes. This belief has been undermined by the announcements of ever-larger panels by companies such as Sharp Corporation, Samsung and LG.Philips LCD:

• In October 2004, 40" to 45" televisions were widely available, and Sharp had announced the successful manufacture of a 65" panel.
• In March 2005, Samsung announced an 82" panel.

Manufacturers have announced plans to invest billions of dollars in LCD production over the next few years, with televisions expected to be a key market. (The other main market for LCD displays is in computer monitors.)

Universal capabilities

Modern LCD TV sets are geographically universal because they have a multisystem tuner, to display PAL, NTSC and SECAM norms. And they include an electronic (step-down & step-up) transformer that automatically can use 110/250 V AC indifferently and universal grounded adapter plugs.
