A flat lcd television is a great purchase due to the low profile and spacial efficiency, but not that alone.  A flat lcd TV is also great because it offers the highest resolution of any televisions, and also as it has low glare, virtually no glare at all.  The reason being because the flat profile of a flat lcd TV means, unlike a standard curved television screen, which catches light from any direction and sends it to you in the form of glare, a flat lcd TV is only exposed to light ddisturbances from a specific direction, kind of like a mirror, and unless there’s a tough light source there right in that specific spot, the flat lcd tv will not reflect it back at you. 

The explanation for why it can have a flat screen is actually because a flat lcd tv doesn’t have a cathode ray tube like a normal television.  A cathode ray tube, or crt, is largely a gun that shoots out electrons at high speed at the surface of a normal television.  These electrons strike a surface that flouresces, or glows, giving you a pixel on the screen.  This suggests that a crt television has to have a curved screen and enough depth to position an electron gun behind it to shoot the image out of the television.  A flat lcd tv because it does not have a crt tube, but rather a light source with polarizing filters and a thin layer of liquid crystals between, it can be very thin and efficient. 

It also uses up less power by far than a normal tv so, although initially, a flat lcd television will cost more than a normal TV, eventually, that flat lcd television will actually save your money by cutting back on your electricity bill.  But the best thing about a flat lcd TV is the lucidity of the image.  Because there is no distortion from the curved screen that ordinary televisions have, you’ll simply never see a clearer image than on a flat lcd television.  In addition, flat lcd televisions have better resolution than most standard televisions and clearer outlined bounds.  This will make some difference in watching normal TV programs, but is most noticeable when you look at dvd films, which are at a higher resolution than normal television programs.  If you’re a flick fan like i am , flat lcd televison is the way to go without a doubt!
