Which Is Better: TFT or LCD?
TFT stands for "thin-film transistor." LCD stands for "liquid crystal display." Both terms refer to the flat-panel display, or screen, of a computer monitor or television set.
TFT v. LCD
LCD is a generic
term. A TFT display is one kind of LCD.
Differences
TFT displays are
made using large sheets of transistors, each one of which is controlled
independently. A TFT screen is an "active-matrix" screen where each
pixel of the display is illuminated individually.
Sharpness and Speed
A TFT display is
sharper and brighter than a common LCD display. It refreshes more quickly than
a regular LCD display and shows motion more smoothly.
Power Usage
TFT displays use
more electricity than regular LCD screens, so they not only cost more in the
first place, but they are also more expensive to operate.
Conclusion
A TFT display is
much higher quality than a regular LCD display. It is a better display in every
way, except that it is more expensive.
