LCD TV 1080p – Review From TOP Brands.

The television revolution has led to manufacturers scrambling to create more and more functionality to their sets. The latest innovation is in the resolution department. If you have shopped for a television lately, you have probably seen things like:

LCD TV 1080p
LCD TV 1080i
Plasma HD
LCD HD TV

All these initials probably have you scratching your head wondering what in the world? These different letter configurations refer to the type of screen and display the unit is capable of. The most recent addition has been the LCD TV 1080p.

LCD – Liquid Crystal Display
1080 refers to the pixels (1920×1080)

Reviews of Top Models

Samsung

Pros

Looks great with Ps3 and other high def products
Nice design

Cons – None

Prices begin at $978 on Amazon.com.
