What are Big Screen Televisions?
There is no set definition for big screen televisions, but generally the term applies to televisions that are too large to be practically produced using the traditional CRT. This means big screen televisions are anything larger than approximately 40 inches (100 cm). Most are made using technologies such as liquid crystal display (LCD), digital light processing (DLP), or plasma. These new technologies have nearly taken over the entire market for televisions in general, especially in many industrialized nations. In the United States, as the conversion to digital signals is underway, many feel the best option is to get a set capable of displaying the clarity and resolution that comes with a digital signal. Doing so requires one of these newer technologies. In most cases, consumers also upgrade to big screen televisions. The technologies behind big screen televisions each have their own advantages and drawbacks. Plasma has better black levels, but may not operate as well at higher altitude
