The LCD may be low, suitable or bright, depending on lamps chosen by the manufacturer to illuminate the slab. Plasma screens are more consistent , with a good brightness too .

High definition (HD):
There are two main families of HDTVs on the market: HD Ready and Full HD models. If the first one  has been a fad in the early flat screens, manufacturers rely today on the Full HD. The difference between the two definition is on the diagonal and vertical lines of the TV. A good Full HD must have a diagonal of 36 inches with a minimum number of vertical lines of 1080. On the market, the Full HD is usually expensive . Keep in mind that a good reputation is based primarily on the quality of the source and then the quality of the screen. If you do not plan to acquire a Blu-ray, Full HD model will lose its significance .. While watching a movie or playing a game  for example in a standard definition image will be worse on a full HD than on an HD ready monitor , as it will create extra pixels.
