LCD screen is high sensitive and vulnerable to vibration or pressure as its inner structure consists of liquid crystal and polarizing filter to polarize the light from the source. So you should avoid contacting screen with fingers or any solid objects.
Use suitable solvents to specifically clean the LCD surface. Or you may soak a piece of cloth and let it dry to wipe the screen gently in the same direction. Do not wipe in clockwise motion because it can scratch the screen surface.
Note not to spray water or any liquid cleaner directly to the screen but on a piece of cloth. This is because a drop of liquid may penetrate to speaker, keyboard, and any electronic components that can seriously damage the device.
Most people are getting confused about LED and LCD TV. The market named the new type of TV screen as LED to differentiate it from the traditional LCD.
LED stands for Light-emitting-diode. It doesn’t refer to the type of TV but the technology to help support lighting at the back of TV screen or called as backlight. LCD stands for Liquid-crystal display which refers to the type of its technology and monitor. Normally, LCD uses the backlight technique as CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) to provide clearness and brightness of the picture. Instead, LED TV substitutes CCFL with LED technology to display the clearer picture due to its dynamic contrast quality that can show the real white and dark colors of the image.
How LED is better than LCD TV?
LED not only has the higher contrast ratio, its screen is also thinner than the LCD one. Next, LED TV is natural safe as it doesn’t apply CCFL which contains mercury. It additionally uses the power effectively. The most important thing is that its lifetime is 2 times longer than LCD TV. However, LED TV is much more expensive than the LCD one. The manufacturer claimed that the high price is due to the thinner screen surface and high contrast ratio empowered by the high technology of LED backlight. Furthermore, LED TV is more valued with the technology of 240Hz that excellently shows high resolution of the object movement smoothly and clearly.
Considering to the properties, it seems that LED TV is the best choice and worth to invest in, especially for its quality. Though it is pricey, its lifetime is much longer. After all, if you decide to buy LED TV, always opt for the one with Local dimming that can allow the LED on the black side to be off and the LED on the white side to be lit (it is useless to back up backlight for the black side pixels). With this method, it not only increases the rate of contrast ratio, but also helps save the power as well.
When people run to the thought of changing their fading-old TVs, they seem to change to the high-tech LCD TV which processes a higher resolution format than the earlier ones. So before making a decision, just look for the elements below to help you better consider how you can wisely choose the perfect one.
1. LCD TV Screen Size – Thing you should first consider is the TV screen size. Normally, the larger screen is more expensivebut people seem to like it better as it is really distinctive and cool when located in the living room. Next is to consider about the room size. The TV set should be suitable for the room size and placed at appropriate viewing distance. Below is the viewing distance that is relative to the screen that helps you be more comfortable when watching.
Screen Size (Inch) Viewing Distance(Foot)
20-27 2.5-5
32-37 6-8
42-46 10-14
50 up 12-16
2. Viewing Angles – The previous LCD TVset can be viewed straight-on. If you view from another side, the picture degradation can occur. But LCD TV now has many angles that you can view from different sides. Before buying, just try to view from different positions to check if the picture quality is fine.
3. Motion Response Time – This spec represents the amount of time it takes to display the picture. The less it has, the better function it is. This Motion Response Time is abbreviated as ms (milliseconds). If you always watch sport programs, it is better that you choose LCD TV that has a response time of 8ms or lower.
4. Contrast Ratio – it is the rate of light intensities of the whitest and darkest colors of the image. The more ratios it has, the better it is. Thought it’s hard to measure this contrast ratio, it is easier that you just measure with your eyes, choosing the one with clearly bright colors.
5. Brightness – The brightness rating of the screen should not be lower than 250 cm/m2. At average, it should be at 300 cm/m2 and higher. The more brightness rating it has, the better you can watch it clearly, especially when you see a movie or play games.
6. HD Ready Vs Full HD – LCD TV now can support many types of HDTV, high-definition TV, which presents high resolution so that you can see the image on the screen clearly. But it is always a confused point of HDTV types of HD Ready and Full HD. HD Ready is a HDTV set that is capable of accepting HD signals but not at full resolution, just 720p-1080i, while Full HD is a HDTV one that accepts HD signals and displays full resolution at 1080p or 1920×1080 pixels progressive scan. LCD TV that supports Full HD is quite expensive and if you want one, just make sure that you have DVD and Blu-ray Players with high resolution or it’s useless. However, you might choose the one with Full HD to support your PS3 and Xbox 360 Games.
7. Connection – The LCD TV you choose should have DVD components, PC, and HDMI inputs for the connection of HD sources.
8. Sound System – if you already have the Home Theatre at home, just look for this function of LCD TV with Dolby Pro Logic II that is able to make the transition to true discrete 5.1-channel audio with matrix surround sound through stereo infrastructure.
Hope now you can enjoy and wisely choose the right LCD TV for your home.
The LG 32LH30 32-Inch 1080p replaced a 720p 32 inch Samsung which I returned because of erratic sound quality. The LG provides a very clear picture for upscaled DVD movies and over the air digital signals. The speakers provide excellent sound for a small living room although the addition of a home theater system would substantially increase movie enjoyment. Standard definition signals also reproduce a stable clear picture. Colors are very good and the set provides sufficient tools to tweak the picture for personal preference. I have not used it for bluray as yet but HD from satellite is very good. The features of this unit described on the Amazon specifications list accurately describe its features and can be relied upon. I am not a hard core cinema/video buff but I cannot imagine that this unit will not satisfy most viewers who want a well priced midsized flat screen high definition TV. My five stars are based upon what I expect in similarly designed and priced units for a smaller room.
I purchased this TV from Amazon supplier Tiger Direct based on Amazon reviews in early November 2009. We have a two year old 32″ Samsung HD LCD TV that we were moving to another room and the LG TV was purchased to replace to older TV. My wife and I both found the quality of the picture to be inferior to the Samsung. Moreover, the biggest problem with the LG TV was the deterioration in picture quality with viewing angle. The LG also seemed to have a slight problem keeping audio and video in sync on a few programs, somthing we had not noted in our other TVs (we have four flat panel TVs in all – only one is HD) Given the room we planned to place it in required a wide viewing angle, we returned the TV.

People found the following review helpful:
I got the 73″ C9 3 days ago. Blu rays, xbox 360, and HD DVR are all AWESOME on it. There are tons of tweaks to picture, color, etc.
The C9 has the same 2 settings that the 737 supposedly had exclusive (deepfield imager and sharp edge) from the C9 series.
The C9 appears to be the exact same TV as the 737 but with different marketing (big box stores, discount model etc).
It is a huge and beautiful screen right out of the box, my wife made me tone it down a bit. I love big bright colors and she doesn’t. So I changed a few settings here and there and got a happy medium for both of us. But when I play xbox 360 I crank that baby back up to brilliant on the game mode and it looks very very nice!
Actually purchased this set from [...] on a promo including the matching 73″ stand from Mits. I’m honestly surprised Costco sells any DLP sets considering how dark their picture setup was on the sales floor. I bought it 2 months ago based on the confidence taken from prior buyers experience, my own experience w/ a 2004 Samsung 61″ DLP, and lastly, the review of a similar model 65″ Mits in the Sept 2009 issue of Home Theater Mag.
When I got it setup and began trying to adjust the picture settings to my liking, I couldn’t seem to find the right combination to suit me. Fortunately, Home Theater Mag’s article gave the precise user settings they employed during their testing. I tried them and, voila, excellent picture. I actually feel the picture exceeds my prior Samsung’s quality, and I always raved about it.
If you are happy with a 50″ or smaller picture, consider all formats. But if you are drawn to a true movie experience combining picture excellence with low cost, look no further. These new Mits DLP units really perform.
