Terrific Advantages of LCD TV
LCD TV has burst on the scene in recent years, and it’s no wonder that it’s become all the rage. I came across the article below about the advantages of LCD TV which was written in anticipation of Father’s Day, 2008. I was struck, however by the points covered and thought it would be useful to reproduce it here, with permission. There’s this thing that guys have for TVs. Women may have a stereotypical fetish for shoes. Men have a fetish for TVs, and having the latest technology is often a must, much to the dismay of spouses and significant others who would prefer to see the money spent on shoes or purses.
Ah well, an LCD TV makes a great gift, and you certainly don’t have to wait until next Father’s day to go that route. Think birthday, Christmas, Anniversary or the coming of football season.
LCD Flat Screen TV - 7 Reasons Why An LCD Flat Screen TV Is The Perfect Gift For Father’s Day
Fathers day is a great time to thank that special dad in your life. Whether it be your own dad or your husband, whether it be an old dad or a new dad, or whether it be for the dad who has it all, an LCD flat screen TV is the perfect gift for fathers day.
Traditionally the beloved fathers in our lives have received tacky ties, or discounted golf or fishing equipment that never make it out of the back corners of the garage. Why not get him something that you know he will love like an LCD flat screen TV.
These are 7 reasons why an LCD flat screen is the perfect gift.
1. The price is right - Only a few short years ago an LCD TV was considered a luxury gift that only the rich and famous could afford. Prices have continued to drop so that most anyone can afford a new TV as small to mid sizes can be found for several hundred dollars and a new large screen can be found starting at around $1000.
2. Bigger is better - As prices drop the available sizes continue to get larger and larger. Affordable LCD flat panel TVs can be found at sizes above 50 inches which makes for a great addition to a family home theater. If he already has a big screen TV in the family room, additional smaller LCDs are becoming more and more common in multiple rooms of the house such as the bedroom or even in traditional man cave areas such as the garage or workshop.
3. Stylish design - Large screen televisions of a few years ago were behemoths that would take up a significant part of the room. While they were able to display a picture that was pleasing to the eye, the sheer size and depth of the set was far from pleasing to the eye. Today’s LCDs are ultra thin, able to be mounted on the wall like a piece of art. In addition to a thinner design, manufacturers are continuing to produce sets like the new “Samsung - With a Touch Color” that adds an attractive red bezel that makes the TV nearly as attractive when turned off as it is when it is turned on.
4. Stunning picture - Of course while price, size and design is important, it all means nothing if the TV can not produce a great picture. Today’s LCD TVs put the first generation LCDs to shame by offering crisper pictures with more vibrant colors without the motion blur or artifacts common in the earlier LCD flat panel TVs. Current models offer much quicker response times, significantly better contrast ratios and are capable of producing a stunning full hd 1080p picture.
5. Sports and movies - Lets face it, the typical dad is not the most complicated person. Give him the latest sporting event or newest blockbuster action movie in high definition and he will be happy. An LCD flat panel TV is perfect for watching the big game with friends, but is also a great solution for experiencing the latest movie with your family from the comfort of your own family room or home theater.
6. Video gaming glory - Is the dad in your life a young dad who grew up playing video games? (Or maybe you are interested in benefiting from a great TV for video games even if your dad couldn’t care less.) An LCD is perfect for gaming. With a full 1080p picture and dynamic display video games look and play incredibly plus there is no risk of screen burn in which is possible in other technologies. An LCD flat panel TV along with one of the new generation video game consoles is a perfect solution for starting a fun family game night tradition.
7. Fastest way to a man’s heart - While a diamond is a girl’s best friend, a high definition TV may very well be a man’s best friend. Now I am not trying to suggest that you be manipulative, but what better way for a wife to get the diamonds that she was hoping for then to set the bar high for gift giving and surprise him with a new LCD flat panel TV.
A LCD flat screen TV is the perfect gift for fathers of all ages and a great way to thank dad for all he has done over the years.
