The prestige HD televisions are considered to be plasma HD TVs.

They are maybe not as effective at displaying fast moving images and dark blacks.

The newest technology on the market is the LED HD TV. This type of television is still an LCD display but it incorporates LED TV technology to light the screens rather than fluorescent lights that have been used since the introduction of LCD televisions. LEDs have the advantage that they allow good colour reproduction and contrast levels, are lighter and smaller, have a longer life, and are more energy efficient. A down side is that as they are relatively new the cost is still a bit expensive.

Other technologies on the horizon include OLED TVs (organic light emitting diodes) and 3D HD TVs. There are current commercial models using these technologies available on the market. However they are really pilot models to test the technologies out on the public. It is expected that they will become mainstream in 5 years or so.

To make the most of the money you have to spend you should make sure you know your own requirements before purchasing a new Full HD TV. Narrow your options down and possibly use other consumers reviews to make your final decision on buying a Full HD Television.
