LCD, LED or Plasma?

There are three main technologies that you can choose from, with each one having it's own set of pros and cons.

Here's a simple breakdown:

LCD TVs

These are the most common HDTVs out there. The cheapest of the three, they are offer consumers of having a relatively thin, power-efficient and lightweight TV for a pretty good price.

LED-Backlit TVs

Also called LED-TVs, they offer consumers a better experience with brighter screens and often come thinner than their LCD cousins.

More expensive than LCD TVs, they might not be the best option in small spaces because of the significantly higher heat that the LCD diodes generate. Make sure you 'keep' them in a well-ventilated or cool space.

Plasma TVs

These TVs might look more expensive at the onset, but offer arguably the best picture quality and offer more value in the long run.

However, relatively inefficient power consumption might put consumers off, especially for those who spend lots of time in front of the goggle box.
