It had to happen sooner or later. Although Flat panel televisions are a hit with consumers, there is not enough room in the marketplace for the growing number of manufacturers producing Plasma and LCD televisions. As a result, the dominant players in the market are taking a second look at their flat panel manufacturing commitments, which is beginning to lead to a shakeout in the Plasma/LCD market. One of the first companies making a hard choice: Sony. The popular Japanese consumer electronics maker made a suprising announcement recently that it is pulling back on its Plasma TV offerings in favor of LCD.

What is the difference between a LC TV and a LCD TV?

There should not be a difference – LC and LCD are both abbreviations for the same technology, when referring to TVs .

LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display

LC stands for Liquid Crystal and is also used as an abbreviation for specific models – such as many sets made by Sharp – which start with the letters LC.

Is there a specific TV that you are considering that that has the LC TV designation?
