LCD Flat Panel TVs

Music Box has your LCD flat panel television. New LCD flat panel technology provides superior viewing over older CRT technology. We have Sony, Samsung, and LG televisions, great TVs that provide the best of the advantages of LCD televisions. We can find the optimum television for you!

LCD screens are easier to watch. Flat panel LCD TVs are significantly brighter and feature higher contrasts than traditional CRT sets. This means an LCD TV will perform exceedingly well under most ambient light conditions. Nor do you have to worry about eyestrain, since LCDs don't flicker. You can watch TV from almost anywhere in a room since flat-screen LCD television displays can have up to a 178° viewing angle. Your TV will look good when viewed from any point 89° in either direction from the center of the display.

The picture is smooth, colorful, and (best of all) wide. LCDs have none of those annoying scan lines that conventional sets do. Recent advances in LCD technology have markedly increased the response time of the display, resulting in smooth on-screen presentations. Ghosting and image jerking are eliminated in the fast response TVs offered by Music Box.

LCD displays come either with a 16:9 aspect ratio (i.e., 16 units wide to 9 units high), the proper one for viewing HDTV and for watching DVDs, or with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the norm for most traditonal analog broadcast television. If you opt to go with a widescreen (16:9) display, does this mean that you'll have to watch some shows where the image is distorted or stretched unnaturally? No. When displaying a "normal" or 4:3 picture image from satellite, VCR, or cable TV, the image can be viewed in a number of ways-in its original format (with black or gray bars on the sides of the screen), or in "full" mode (where the image is converted or "stretched" using specially designed algorithms to reduce the visible stretch marks as much as possible). Again, the quality of the picture produced under such circumstances depends largely on the quality of the television with which you scale-up 4:3 pictures or scale-down 16:9 ones. Nevertheless, this is only a temporary dilemma: Since HDTV is shown in widescreen, this is the format of the future for most of broadcast television.

You can expect to use your LCD TV for many years: The average lifespan of an LCD display is 60,000 hours. If you watched TV for 24 hours a day, it would take you almost 7 years to wear out your LCD display. With more normal viewing habits of, say, 8 hours per day, you can extend the lifespan of your TV by a decade or more (up to 20 years)!

A more immediate concern is the actual lifespan of the light source in your LCD TV. This is perhaps THE critical component of your display. It is particularly important for maintaining a proper white balance on your TV. As these florescent bulbs age, colors can become unbalanced, which could result in too much red, for example, in your picture. So, it pays to buy name-brand displays. You will definitely pay more for better LCD TV brands like Sony than you will for cheap Chinese or Korean variety knock-offs, but you'll get a backlighting bulb of higher quality and, in the end, a TV whose colors will stay truer longer.

LCD technology affords consumers new options when it comes to the physical placement of their TV displays. There are flat wall mounts, tilt wall mounts, table stands, articulating wall mounts, and ceiling mounts.

Also, consider the built in sound. If your not using your TV with a home theater or home audio system, the built in sound of our TVs is superior to those offshore models with tiny speakers.
