+7REP: Alternative to an LCD TV?

[Black_Apalachi]

I've basically got a nice nooby question for you . Can you get a HD ready TV that isn't an LCD TV? I'm guessing yes, so my next question is what are they? For example, is a plasma TV something like what I'm talking about?

I'm asking because I've got a little Matsui 15" HD Ready Digital TV but you can only see the screen clearly if you're directly level with it. I want to put it on a shelf in my room so I can watch it from my bed but my view is too low to see it. I've tried turning up the brightness etc but that only works until the contents of the screen changes.

So don't hate for nooby question kk +rep for advice thx oxoxo

Plasma or the new thing now is LED but LED=$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

I've heard the new LED televisions are really good but unfortunatley, they cost considerably more than an LCD or Plasma.

Also the reason you can't see it properly unless you are level with it is because you've got a cheap, crap display, nothing to do with it being a LCD TV.

[N!ck]

It does that on the shelf because you have a rubbish TV. Your best bet would buy buying a new LCD.

You can't get plasmas in the size you're looking at (I don't think) and OLED screens will be way out of budget.

Plasmas are ew, LCD's are great. But omg LED's take the prize! Watching Lord of the Rings, it's like you are looking through a window into the action it's so real.

Oh OK, so you can LCDs that look fine at any angle? I don't know what our main TV is but it's pretty big and is always perfect. My impression of an LED is a little red light .

Thanks peeps reps will be given where possible xx

Ummmm, a Projection TV ?

Isn't it Plasma that has a problem with viewing angles? Or you could get a monitor with swivel base like Samsung TV's have.
