LCD TV Reviews Everything You Need To Know About Seriously Mean TV’s

People currently engaged in TV repair as a major source of income should benefit from the explosive growth in the plasma and liquid crystal display television (LCD TV) industry. The technologies, which are probably very near their peak, has become so inexpensive that more and more people are discarding their usually cumbersome and bulky cathode ray tube (CRT) TVs and getting their energy and space efficient flat screen counterparts.

As early as 2005 and 2006, the Plasma and LCD segment of the TV industry has been reporting double to triple digit percentage growths and has surpassed its CRT counterparts in terms of revenue. And even with the current financial crisis that stemmed from the US housing sector, higher sales are still projected for 2008 and 2009. Market research firm iSuppli sees a total worldwide shipment of 93.4 million units this year and about 112.6 million units next year. This very much indicates a very healthy demand for the technology.

What this means is that there’s a very high likelihood of surge in demand for services relating to this particular niche, particularly, the demand for Plasma and LCD TV Repair services. A skilled TV repair person experiencing a decline in profits in CRT TV repair should look at this current boom in big screen TVs as an opportunity to breath new life into his/her business. The key is getting into it while its hot.

Learning the skill should be a breeze to an experienced repair person. The LCD itself is a relatively durable device that could outlast its peripheral parts. For example, one of the most common failures of the LCD is the dimming of its back-lights. Hence, learning how to replace those is a simple yet very integral part of this money-making skill.

The good news is that you can learn all this yourself! You don’t have to go to a formal TV training school and pay ridiculously high fees for this knowledge as it is readily available right here and right now. The information needed to repair these contraptions, with full schematic diagrams, service manuals and step by step How-To’s, fortunately, is readily available to those who know where to look.

How about the replacement parts needed for repair? One Google search of the keywords “LCD TV Parts” results in a flood of information about where one can get them. There should be ample supply of parts already in the market for those wanting to get into this.

Is it time to include Plasma and LCD TV Repair into your electronics repair services? I do believe it is.

If you are looking at buying a 42″ Vizio widescreen LCD HDTV then you have to make a decisino between several models. For this article I have chosen two of the best selling Vizio 42″ televisions and put them side by side. You will see that the specs are almost the same besides in a few key areas and feature sets, with one having the whole Vizio she-bang and the other being a toned down version.

Specification Comparison
When comparing these two TV’s on paper, things look very similar. Both are full high definition models.

The main difference is that the SV420XVT comes with all the top of the line features from Vizio, whereas the V042LF is a TV with similar specs but without the bells and whistles (Although the price difference between the two is not huge. The main differences are:

The SV420XVT is part of Vizio’s XVT series (Extreme VIZIO technology) and marks their top of the line range. It includes 120Hz processing and SRS TruSurround XT Sound.

120Hz Processing
SV420XVT is a 120Hz processing model and this is the main difference between the two. 120Hz is the best processing speed currently and in combination with Vizio’s Smooth Motion Video technology you will get increased smoothness and fluidity in the picture. The detail is also much better.

SRS TruSurround XT
Also unique to the SV420XVT is SRS TruSurround XT which is a state of the art sound system.

Colors
V042LF: 16.77 million
SV420XVT: 1.06 Billion

Contrast Ratio
V042LF: 5000:1 (w/DCR)
SV420XVT: 6500:1 (w/DCR)

As you can see the V042LF is simply the cheaper version of the full featured SV420XVT. Both are excellent TV’s so your choice will depend upon your budget and your need for all the top features and latest technology.

Conclusion - Which Should You Choose?

The SV420XVT, whilst only costing a little more than the VO42LF, has all the bells and whistles of a top of the range Vizio TV therefore it gets my full recommendation.

The Vizio SV420XVT has continually come out on top in reviews and ratings and with good reason. It truly is an amazing TV and deserves the praise.

It only costs a bit more than the V042LF so I can highly recommend it as your next 42″ Vizio Widescreen LCD HDTV.

I came across this handy article that explains the difference between HD Ready TV’s and Full HD TV’s - a common question amongst buyers.
When you’re done reading, check out this offer of a Free Vizio LCD 52″ HDTV

With so many LCD TV’s in the market place and a massive variety to choose from it can be confusing choosing the right LCD for you.

Here are a few tips that should help you make the right choice when choosing your LCD TV…

1). Find out what your budget is? And what picture quality you are willing to pay for

2). With so many models in the market offering different specifications the price can vary a lot. So be sure to figure out which room you are buying the LCD TV for. The general rule from house to house across the UK is that the best TV will be placed in the living room with smaller LCD TV’s or LCD TV’s with lower specs being used around the house.

3).Once you know what your budget is and where you will be placing the LCD TV its time to have a look at the specifications along with the design and style. The main features to look for in a LCD TV are the picture quality and connectivity. You will get LCD TV’s that come HD ready and also come with Full HD. The difference between the two is the amount of pixels that are available. So you might have heard of the term 1080p and 720p.

Difference between Full HD and HD ready

The truth in the matter is that a 1080p LCD TV will give you the highest picture quality there is, however in order to get this picture quality that true HD 1080p can offer, you will need to have the right equipment that can support it. So what is this equipment that i talk about? To be honest there isn’t a lot of equipment out there that supports 1080p and when talking about screen resolution the average consumer doesn’t have the slightest idea what this means to them.

The difference between HD and full HD is barely noticeable to the average eye, if you ask me they both produce excellent quality images.

To benefit from full HD you will need these 3 things

• HD Plasma or LCD

• Correct leads (HDMI-component video)

• HD Source ( HDTV Tuner, HD Satellite, HD Cable Box, Blu-Ray, HD DVD Player)

The decision is with you, Full HD or HD ready?

Connections/connectivity

The connectivity that LCD’s provide are also very important. LCD’s support many connections which will allow you to connect all of your equipment to your TV. Connectivity includes HDMI sockets, scart lead sockets, component video and many more. Please keep a look out for an up and coming article about connections and connectivity.

4). In general the majority of LCD TV’s provide more then enough functions and the average consumer will find that the majority of the specifications will never get used. However if you have much equipment that will need connecting to the LCD then go for one that provides many ways of connecting devices up. Normally found under the connectivity section of the LCD details.

The LCD TV’s that are available at Ravs Appliances all offer HD ready, integrated freeview and digital ready functions with more then enough connectivity to support basic to advanced configurements. Full HD ready models are also available and are noted under the specification sections.

The Vizio GV47LF is a 47″ 1080p (full high definition) LCD HDTV. It is also known as the Gallevia.

This particular model is a high end TV with a price tag of around $2000. Vizio tend to give fancy names to their top of the range televisions and ‘Gallevia’ gives you an exotic and classy feeling. It almost sounds like the name of a Ferrari. Which is exactly how I would describe the GV47LF - the Ferrari of 47″ HDTV’s.
