For decades all of the highest quality electronics were renowned to come from Japan, however in the late 1990s, more Samsung products started to appear on store shelves around the world. Samsung is based in Korea, making it quite unique compared to the Japanese electronics giants like Sony, Hitachi, and Canon. Samsung products started off simple, but soon the company revised the design of all their products to incorporate a more sleek, stylized, and contemporary look. In the early 2000s, demand for Samsung Plasma and LCD televisions flooded the market, as the Korean manufacturer was one of the first to specialize in the newer technology and boasts many of the highest rated LCD TV units on the market.
As Samsung started to gain a positive reputation as a manufacturer of quality electronics, the company’s other products like Samsung cell phones, DVD players, and audio equipment started to gain recognition. Today Samsung is one of the most trusted names in electronics, with annual revenues even exceeding some of the Japanese giants.
When it comes to high definition technology, the mainstream public is just beginning to show widespread interest. High definition televisions (HDTVs) have been available for almost a decade, but are finally becoming affordable for the average consumer. There are two main types of HDTVs, Plasma and LCD. LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display; these televisions contain hundreds of thousands of tiny pixels which work together to create a high definition picture. Plasma televisions contain a number of inert noble gases which use a light source to create a high definition picture.
Plasma and the LCD HDTV are quite similar in function, but the two technologies create a high definition picture through vastly different means. When selecting an HDTV, you should be aware of the price and the reliability of the manufacturer more than whether it is Plasma or LCD. In terms of picture quality, LCD TV units do have a slight edge, but it’s so slight that most people wouldn’t be able to recognize the difference.
