LG HDTVs - A Popular Choice
by Astrid HermanssenOut of all of the manufacturer's currently producing high definition television sets, LG HDTVs continue to be one of the most popular choices on the market. Boasting awards for design and technology from some of the most prestigious presenters, LG is quickly becoming the benchmark brand that other companies find themselves trying to keep pace.
One of the first things to consider when researching LG HDTVs is the picture resolution. We see it blasted everywhere nowadays and the three most common are 720P, 1080i, and 1080P. These three are considered high definition but without a clear understanding of what they are, you may not even know where to start. First, the number signifies the number of lines the television set can display. Obviously, the higher the number, the clearer the picture will be. The letter signifies the method on how the picture will be displayed. I stands for interleaved while P stands for progressive. While the process is a bit complicated, progressive or "P" is superior to "I". Thus, 1080i is slightly better than 720P and will support most of the HD broadcasts available today. For a full HD experience or when wanting to support technologies like Blu-Ray, 1080P is the top of the line at the moment.
Once you've narrowed down the appropriate resolution, then you can start comparing LG HDTVs. One of the most popular models is the LG 42LG30. This model is an LCD HDTV that is 42". It is considered to be an entry level set and features 720P resolution which means that it is also more affordable. It also features 3 presets for the most commonly viewed types of television like sports and is also energy star rated, allowing it to be efficient.
If you're looking to step into the full 1080P realm with one of the LG HDTVs, a popular choice for many people is the 47LH30. This is considered to be an entry level 1080P HDTV making it more pocket book friendly but still coming stacked with a host of useful features. One of the most impressive things about this model is its high contrast ratio, set at 50,000:1. Contrast ratio allows for more depth of colors in whatever you are watching, especially things with more shadowy scenes. Another cool feature coming into the HDTV world is something that can directly display 24P frame rates. 24P is the frame rate that true film movies are shot at, meaning 24 frames per second. But in the end, LG TV's come in many sizes and flavors. They all have great style as well.
Finding a great LG HDTV deal is easy when you know where to shop. Flat Panel TV technology is changing all the time. It's important to be an informed consumer when making a new LG HDTV purchase. Getting the latest HDTV technology news and TV deals from Screen Sleuth is a great place to start your research before buying a new television.
