LCD TV

Find top LCD Flat Screen TVs at affordable prices.

If it's time to replace that old tube TV with something a little more modern, an LCD TV is the perfect choice. Today's LCD TVs offer breathtaking image quality, multimedia features and more in affordable models of all sizes. LCDs are the best way to get a big TV for the least amount of money, as they tend to be less expensive than comparable LED and Plasma TVs of the same size.

A 42" LCD TV makes a great entry into the world of flat panel TVs, providing a screen big enough for a medium-sized room, without taking up too much space. One thing to pay attention to when buying an LCD TV is the refresh rate. The higher the refresh rate—expressed in Hz—the better the TV will be at displaying fast-moving action.

A common question we hear at Abt is: “What is an LCD TV?” LCD is an acronym for Liquid Crystal Display, which is the technology that makes up the display. These flat screen TVs are comprised of two glass panels filled with liquid crystals. The front glass panel is etched into a grid pattern (a template) so the liquid crystals can be filtered by light. The crystals serve as intelligent shutters, allowing light to pass or act like a roadblock. The patterns of light and dark crystals determine the image on an LCD TV.
