Quick Overview - Display Technologies

Just a very quick overview of display technologies and recommendations.  Over the last few years we have seen many trends come and go.  Starting a about five years ago, CRT's  ( cathode ray tubes) were common place.  The emergence of LCD's and Plasma's were hitting the consumer market.  They are still very common in the market place and I would like to talk the time to take about the new wave of the LCD.  To me the choice seems pretty clear that LCD with LED back-lighting will be the wave of future displays.

Here's why:  In the older LCD displays they used something similar to a florescent light to shine through the LCD to display the image on the screen.  With the recent changes they are now using LED's to provide this light and a crisper, clearer picture.  LED's are a lot smaller in nature compared to the older LCD lighting which allows for greater contrast.   Samsung has a really good article explaining this change and I would highly recommend reading it before your next display/tv purchase.  Along with this change comes a much more efficient way to use energy which means you save on your power bills.  These technologies can be found in many manufactures including: Samsung, Sony, Vizio and others.  The Samsung article can be found here.
