This turned out to be a great buy for the price! Toshiba makes an excellent product. Before, I purchased the Toshiba 37 inch flat screen TV: I compared this HDTV with other similar units. This flat screen TV definitely holds its own among the majors LCTV including Samsung, Sony, Sharp, and Panasonic. Also, the picture was sharp, clear, and great color contrast. The response time was great (8ms) and the different settings allowed you to adjust for sport, theater, or movie modes. The external speakers were alright for a small room but I ended up connecting the LCTV to my stereo for a more surround sound. The only areas that needed improvement was the delivery process: it took several days longer to ship the flat screen. Nevertheless, the HD programming and the Blu Ray technology was well worth investing in this 37 inch flat screen TV.
Customer Review: Imperfect Silence
This Toshiba TV is excellent in all respects except one--the slight hum of the unit that is evident when the image on the screen is supposed to be accompanied by perfect silence. Does anybody make a perfectly noiseless screen? I'm told this Toshiba is better than some units but, at least at this price, you won't be buying silence.
Anybody that is starting a home theater generally goes for the best technology that they can afford. Either they just want to see what all the fuss is about the latest gadgets or they have been convinced by a salesperson that this technology is a must have as all the others will be redundant in 6 months. This article will examine the merits of CRT technology vs LCD technology when it comes to buying your next television or display system. It will ask : do you really need the latest technology when it comes to home theater display systems ?
CRT or cathode ray tube is the old standard for televisions. The principle behind it is a vacuum tube that consists of an electron gun that is directed towards a screen coated in phosphor. The electron gun fires electrons at the screen causing the phosphor to heat up. This action causes colors on the screen which are used to produce an image that you watch.
LCD or liquid crystal display is a large amount of tiny liquid crystals that are held between two electrodes. When a charge is passed from one electrode to the other via the liquid crystals they react to the charge. This reaction causes light to be emitted which creates an image that you watch.
The first thing that you will immediately notice about CRT TV's are that they are far cheaper than LCD TV's or any other latest technology. This is so for two reasons. The first is that the new technology has cost a lot of money to develop so the makers of these televisions have to charge a premium. This price will drop over time. The other reason is that a lot of marketing has gone into the new technologies so retailers are finding it hard to move CRT TV's. The bottom line if budget is a factor is that CRT is still the way to go.
Another thing About CRT's is that they are large and bulky. They need to be to fit in the vacuum tube. This means you need plenty of space to put them in. One of the majors benefits of LCD technology is that the television is a flat panel. It can be placed on a wall are does not take up space. If you have a small apartment or house then this might be a consideration.
CRT TV's have a wider viewing angle than LCD. Thus if you are off center with an LCD the vision might be distorted. Not so with CRT.
LCD TV's have excellent resolution. Whereas a CRT TV might have a resolution of 480, LCD can have up to 1080. They will also use the progressive scanning method as opposed to interlacing giving a more fluid image.
CRT technology has a better contrast ratio than LCD. This means there will be more distinction between the blacks images on the screen. Again, this will make things stand out better in dark movies.
LCD technology has a greater range of colors giving a vibrant picture as opposed to CRT.
Clearly LCD are the latest technology. More money will be put into improving the deficiencies of the technology so it will improve over time. The price will also drop. If, however, you are on a budget and you do not plan to view HDTV in the near future you can't go past the low prices of good quality CRT televisions.
