Advantages of LCD and plasma TVs

Crisp and clear
LCD and plasma screens have more pixels per square inch than a CRT (or "normal") TV, meaning you get a sharper image (it's worth remembering that, as with all TVs, some screens have better clarity than others)

They look good - even when turned off
Okay, so this might not be your first concern. But LCD and plasma TVs are sleek and slim, easily mounted on a wall or fitted snug against the side of your living room.

Wide viewing angle
Because LCD and plasma TVs are totally flat you can watch them from a wide angle

Save space, look sharp
LCD and plasma TVs are so compact that a 15" flat panel screen gives you the same amount of viewable screen as a traditional 17" CRT display.

Films, as they were meant to be seen
Plasma and LCD screens often come with a widescreen aspect ratio. Put simply, this means that you can watch movies and DVDs the way they were intended, and not "boxed" in to fit a CRT screen - perfect for a home cinema set-up.

No scan lines
Look closely at your traditional CRT television and you can see thin lines. LCD and plasma TVs do not have these.
