Flat screen TVs came on the scene years ago and took the market by storm. Sales were slow at first but when the prices started to go down, everyone had to have one in their house. Now, when you go into a store that sells televisions, it is hard to find any of the old style tube TVs as they are mostly flat screens.

Plasma was the first technology that allowed TVs to be made in such a way that they were flat. All the first ones were plasma and HD was something that was optional that cost quite a bit more. However, as more units were sold, the price of high definition as well as the flat screens came way down. Now, all sets automatically have HD included.

Shortly after the price of the plasma sets started to fall, something called LCD came on the market. LCD screens were similar to plasma but they are supposed to last longer and so many people preferred to buy LCD. If you go into a TV store today, you will find mostly LCD flat screens for sale with just a few plasma sets offered.

Now there is a new kind of screen that has just been introduced by Samsung. LED screens are similar to LCD but they have backlighting that allows all the televisions to be only 1.2 inches thin. Additionally, these sets use 40% less energy so they are bound to catch on for their environment friendly aspects.

All you have to do is go into a store with an LED television and your jaw is likely to drop. For anyone worried about the weight of hanging a flat screen on the wall, these new thin LED sets are just what you were looking for. The color and bright screen is crystal clear which makes these new TV’s very desirable. Right now the price is high at more than double what an LCD screen would cost but the price should begin to come down as more and more are made. Don’t worry: more and more will be made, as demand for these will be big I predict.
