Different types of television – Samsung is still the No. 1 choice

There are many different kinds of televisions available in the market today, but Samsung is one brand that has stood the test of time and continues to offer innovative technologies for entertainment. Following is a list of the different types of TVs presently on offer, and the technology running them.

·         Flat Panel television – Also known in common parlance as a flat-screen, this type of television is the most basic one available in the present times. It is thinner and lighter than the conventional television.
·         LCD television – Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) televisions are the most popular technology, one of the main reasons of the same being better picture quality than flat-screens at an affordable price. They are thinner and lighter than flat-screen televisions, and also come in larger sizes to suit the requirements of the buyer.
·         Plasma television – This type of television has millions of cells residing in a compartmentalized space between two glass panels. Each pixel is made of three of these cells, which contain the primary colours. As the voltage of the signals varies, the screen displays different colours which make up the picture.
·         LED television – LED TVs are basically 'LED-backlit LCD TVs', and Samsung was among the first ones to introduce this technology, with the provision of offering 3D display in regular broadcasts as well. It is currently the most advanced type of television, and also gives the best picture quality.
