For 2010,the 3D TV is the hottest item available on the market. In previous years, what people usually discussed when it came to new breakthroughs in gadgets were plasma televisions, liquid crystal display televisions (or LCD TV), full high definition televisions (HDTV) and also one of the newest additions to the market, the LED TV. Each television provides a great viewing experience – excellent quality of image and sounds, different features such as being physically thin, light, using LCD screens and many other features that are beneficial to the users. So why are there so many people looking forward to purchasing a 3D television?
3D movies like “Up” and “Avatar” became an instant hit to people on their release. Most theaters upgraded from regular large screen televisions to 3D TV so that they can keep up with the latest and hottest 3D movies. To give people the satisfaction of viewing 3D films in their own house, the major television manufacturers like Sony, Panasonic, Mitsubishi and JVC have already started to produce their own 3D television sets.
If you are planning to purchase a 3D TV, you must remember in order for the 3D images to work, you must also purchase some 3D glasses. 3D glasses are made from a unique glass that has the capabilities of making you see three dimensional images. 3D glasses are of two different types: the passive and the active three dimensional glasses. Passive three dimensional glasses have polarized lenses so that they can see the overlapping picture images. The active three dimensional glasses interact with the system. They do all the work from synchronization of the refresh rate of the TV to make the viewers see the three dimensional images.
Until now there is no specific pricing of the 3D televisions but we all know due to the features that they offer, they will cost a lot compared to other television models. For most people however, 3D TV is worth the cost as long as they can enjoy the 3D images in the comfort of their home.

OLED Technology is the Future
If LCD and LED displays are the present technologies behind today’s televisions and displays, then OLED technology is certain to be the future in this field. So why are OLED displays being hyped up so much?
The main feature of OLED TVs and displays is that they do not require a traditional backlight like conventional LCD displays do. This means that they are super energy efficient and the devices that they are used for can be made mega thin. As well as being used in televisions this makes them the perfect technology for use in laptops and mobile display devices.
It won’t be long until we see the OLED TV making an appearance in the high street stores. Once TV manufacturers have perfected their manufacturing techniques production can be scaled up making the OLED TV more attractive price-wise, and improving reliability.

LCD vs Plasma TVs
The most popular choice when it comes to high definition televisions is by far the Full HD LCD TV. In the beginning of high definition television, LCDs were the cheaper inferior option when compared to the alternative of the more expensive plasma TVs.
However the technological advancements made by the television manufacturers coupled with the popularity of the LCD TVs, has closed the quality gap between the LCD and plasmas to the point that LCD are almost equal to plasmas but at a more competitive price.
The above point is especially true now with the recent introduction of the LED TV. Though the name might be a bit misleading, the LED TV is just an LED-lit LCD TV. The use of LEDs in LCD TVs has gone a long way to correct some of the inferiorities that LCD TVs have when compared to plasmas.
LED TVs are said enable the reproduction of more life-like colours and the individual control that LEDs have means that localized dimming is possible, this produces better contrast ratios, producing darker blacks. LCDs have improved so much over recent years that plasma TVs are slowly beginning to be phased out of the high definition TV market.

Buying a High Definition Television
The introduction of digital broadcasts has seen the explosion of high definition televisions. So what are the factors that should be considered before investing in a HD TV?
Room size might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but a super-sized TV could very easily look out of place in a small room. Another thing is to consider the positioning of the TV and the viewer. Make sure the TV set will fit into the intended space and if the viewer is too close to the screen a larger set can lead to an uncomfortable viewing experience.
You must consider what applications you require the television for – satellite TV, DVDs, BluRay, games consoles? For example the TV broadcasts that are available to you will probably by in 720p or 1080i formats which means that for this purpose alone a Full HD TV (1080p) set might be an unnecessary and underutilized expense. However if you intend using a 1080p games console or BluRay DVD player then 1080p capability might be essential to enjoy the viewing experience to the max.
Other things to consider is do you have a suitable TV tuner and cables, if not you might be best buying a TV with an integrated tuner and additional cables. Do you already have a suitable surround sound system or is this something that you need?
Just taking time out to make a few well informed choices before purchasing a new TV might be the best thing you will ever do to make the most out of your high definition TV experience.

The Advance of LED TVs
Plasma TVs have enjoyed the premium spot in the high definition TV world, but the reputation of LED TVs is growing fast. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are being incorporated in the design of LCD TVs with stunning effect.
Currently Samsung are leading the way using LED technology to replace the fluorescent lights previously used in LCD TVs. As well as the benefits in picture quality that there use produces, they are more eco-friendly as they use less power and have eliminated some of the harmful materials because of the absence of fluorescent lights.
The price of an LED TV may be more expensive at the moment but this extra expense is counter-balanced by improved energy efficiency and extended life-span of LED based TVs when compared with conventional LCD TVs.

LED TV Information
LED TV Technology is the newest buzzword that is making an appearance throughout the media, but what exactly is it?
Well LEDs (light emitting diodes) are now being incorporated into the design of LCD televisions as a replacement for the fluorescent lighting which has been used up to now. A more accurate term to describe this type of television would be LED-lit LCD TV.
There are real benefits to using LEDs in the design of HD TVs. They smaller and allow for slimmer set. They produce light which produces brighter, more vivid colors. They have better energy efficiency, therefore reducing you energy bills.
They may currently be more expensive than standard LCD TVs, but the price will come down in time as it looks as if LED TV is here to stay.
