Early LCD television had drawbacks relative to traditional
visual display technologies. These problems have largely been
overcome in recent years, and LCD televisions, along with plasma
displays, have taken over the dominant market position worldwide
from cathode ray displays. Some manufacturers are also
experimenting with extending colour reproduction of LCD
televisions.

LCD televisions are usually brighter than plasma TVs, and many
can double as a computer monitor or media-center display. LCD
Television technology has advanced greatly, particularly with
respect to the reproduction of black levels. LCD televisions are
now coming out bigger and at prices that are really starting to
compete with those of similar-size plasma TVs.
The technologies found in these big televisions eventually
trickles down to smaller, higher-volume sets. LCD televisions
are also beginning to challenge plasmas in sales in the 40-inch
and above categories, where plasma has been dominant, Fujiomoto
added. Global demand for LCD televisions will rise from 42
million units in 2006 to 69. By 2010, LCD television shipments
are expected to rise to 128 million units.

The output at Kameyama, along with allowing Sharp to make more
televisions, is also allowing the company to come out with a
wide variety of them. The company now has four separate lines of
LCD televisions, ranging in technical sophistication. Some of
the televisions coming out this year will feature a refresh rate
of 120 hertz; double the current 60-herz standard. In the second
quarter, Sharp is expected to come out with a line of LCD
televisions for gamers that will cut down any latency between
the game console and action on the television.
The system will be capable of sending two separate
high-definition video streams between PCs and televisions
through a home's electrical system. With Blu-ray and HD-DVD
delivering true high definition content, Philips has come to the
party with a true high definition LCD television in the Cineos
37PF9731/69. As a 1080p panel, it can screen high definition
television, Blu-ray and HD-DVD in all their glory rather than
down scaling them to fit on a 720p display. The television
sports two HDMI inputs for connecting to HD sources, plus
component, composite, s-video, SCART and VGA. Disappointingly it
doesn't have an onboard digital television tuner.
Ambilight shines coloured light on to the wall behind the
television to match whatever is on the screen, creating a halo
of colour around the television that changes with the image. You
can't see the actual Ambilight tubes when you're sitting in
front of the television; they're hidden behind the bezel and
pointing back at the wall. This isn't a problem if the
television is wall-mounted in a location where you'll never have
to see the lights, such as at the end of a long, narrow room.
But if the television is against one of the long side walls,
with the Ambilights visible off to the sides, it will give
everyone else in the room the irrits very quickly even if it's
just in their peripheral vision.
