Samsung LCD TVs - Adapting Further to Multimedia Revolution

Ever since flat panel televisions arrived in the market, LCD TVs became the most popular and most acquired television unit. Their slim design and flat screen surface has been a magnet for millions of buyers. But what attracts consumers more is their video and television capability. Their dual purpose - one for home viewing, and another for computer games or video usage, interests most of the consumers. They will be paying for two purposes for the price of one.

In general, all LCD televisions have progressive displays sleek design, and slim exteriors. Several input options are included to add more versatility. Your Samsung LCD TV can actually double up as a home entertainment television and as a replacement for your computer monitor. You only need to allow the standard analog (PC) VGA or the DVI input and you can pull your LCD TV as a PC monitor. Additionally, almost all LCD TVS can be displayed in the following ways: mounted on a wall, inside a cabinet, on a desktop, or on a TV stand.

Some experts refer to LCD TVs as transmissive display. This is because of the light source behind the liquid crystal panel that creates light. This panel scatters and transmits light evenly so that a uniform image will be released.

Your Samsung LN52A850 LCD TV has the liquid crystal solution in between two transparent polar panels. The liquid crystals are pole-like molecules that twist light as response to electrical energy. The crystals actually arrange in a line making light unable to pass through them. They work similar to shutters, identifying which light to block and which light to let pass. In simple terms, it is similar to the technology applied to a digital watch only that LCD technology is a little more advanced.

Your LCD TV has truly adapted to modern technology. They no longer have the phosphor dots present in Plasma televisions. Colors are not created by using filters. This means that there is absolutely no need to worry about burn-in problems. This makes your Samsung LN52A850 LCD TV good for playing video games or using as a computer monitor. Moreover, LCD TVs are very cost efficient because of their low energy consumption. It actually consumes more than 50% less power than the usual cathode ray tube type of television.

Furthermore, Samsung LCD TV technology makes use of the most advanced LCD type. This is technologically termed as "active matrix." This is primarily based on the usual TFT or thin film transistors technology. This technology is responsible for the switching on and switching off of LCD pixels. Remember that in LCD televisions, one color pixel is still divided into three sub-pixels which are the red, blue, and green color sifts.

But then the greatest contest to this top technology is the pixel response time. The pixel response time is defined as the measure of speed of a single colored pixel to change without smudging or giving a vague impression. This is necessary since fast-moving scenes or objects, seen in action movies and sports, should not display ghosting or motion outline. Images should not create a shadow. Large screen televisions are believed to be prone to this kind of concern especially that movie watching and HDTV displays are the favorite practices of using the LCD TV.

Samsung, of course, would perform constant improvement to give a better viewing entertainment to its followers. For now, let us just enjoy the already advanced LCD TV technology. Sooner or later our favorite brand will introduce to us, again, a one of a kind multimedia revolution.
