In an expert opinion, what is currently the best overall tv technology?

Question

this includes all current flat-screen technologies ( lcd, plasma) and also traditional crt tv's and front and rear projection video. I have high hopes for oled, as this technology doesn't require any backlight or high energy consumption through phosphor excitement and is supposed to be excellent for saving energy!!

answers regarding this will be greatly appreciated and thanks again

Answer 1

Oled isn't stable yet, too far away too expensive. For what's out right now, money no object. The best is the current Pioneer Kuro plasma TV hands down the best. But it costs the most.

For what's about to come out, cheaper than oLED BUT it's fatter is laservue by mitsubishi. It's gettin' close and the picture is killer.

Answer 2

We don't know much about OLED, but it looks like it is the best technology out there, offering unprecedented blacks, and bright whites, while maintaining an extremely thin profile. The problem is that they have extremely short lifespan, and they are too expensive to produce. Their picture quality also degrades with time. Currently, plasma is the best technology, with recent changes and evolutions in the technology. It (the best plasma) has almost 0 light output when displaying blacks (0.001 ftl.), while offering the brightness of a CRT. The colors are also amazing, while it offers good performance when displaying fast moving objects. Then comes CRT. The best CRT (unknown) can display 0 light black levels, but the blacks get severely mucked up when displaying mixed content images (ie black and white picture). In this case the black levels become worse than those of a plasma. They have good motion resolution, and all, but their size led the technology to obsolescence. Then comes LCD, with their lackluster blacks, and bad motion handling. The brightness is very high, and colors often look bright and unrealistic on an LCD. They are also expensive. LCDs, unlike most plasmas, have bad uniformity, meaning that the screen is not equally lit. Then comes rear projection. Rear projection offers decent picture at very low prices. They are extremely bright, but they have a very short lifespan. They have bad black levels, which fluctuate depending on the content of the picture. They are relatively huge, and usually lag while playing games. They also have good motion resolution. Hope this helps.

I always liked watching Godzilla on UHF when I got home from school.

Answer 4

Plasma - the last HDTV shoot-out by the experts at Home Theater Mag clearly shows that the two plasmas kicked the other 5 technologies' butts.
