    BASIC CONDCEPT ABOUT THE LCD T.V

    Liquid-crystal display televisions (LCD TV) are television sets that use LCD

    technology to produce images. LCD televisions are thinner and lighter than CRTS of

    similar display size, and are available in much larger sizes as well. This combination of

    features made LCDS more practical than CRTS for many roles, and as manufacturing

    costs fell their eventual dominance of the television market was all but guaranteed.

    In 2009, LCD televisions surpassed sales ofCRT-based televisions worldwide for the

    first time, and its sales figures relative to other technologies are accelerating. LCD TVS

    are quickly displacing the only major competitors in the large-screen market, the plasma

    display panel and rear-projection television. LCDS are, by far, the most widely produced

    and sold television technology today, pushing all other technologies into niche roles.

    In spite of the LCD'S many advantages over the CRT

    technology they displaced, LCDS also have a variety

    of disadvantages as well. a number of other

    technologies are vying to enter the large-screen

    television market by taking advantage of these

    weaknesses, fed and SED, but none of these haveentered widespread production.

    WHAT IS LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY?

    LCD is a display device that uses thin, flat sheet made up of liquid crystals and this thin

    sheet is placed in front of a light source. The molecules of liquid crystal (we can also

    say, pixels) are twisted in their natural state and allow the light to pass through.

    However, when certain amount electricity passes through liquid crystals, the molecules

    get stretched and block the light and the darkening of the pixels depends on the electric

    current. Pixels are completely darkened when there is no electricity.

    As for colour LCD display, it will have three sub-pixels (green, blue and red) and

    depending on the pixels that get light, the LCD will produce the final image on the

    screen.

    HOW DOES LCD TV WORK?

    LCD television uses liquid crystals captivated between two polarized, glass sheets and

    a matrix of TFT (thin-film transistor) transistors that control the electric flow through the

    crystals. The glass sheet contains thousands of tiny cells or pixels and each one is

    colored with green or blue or red.

  • 7/29/2019 Final(Lcd Tv)

    10/68

    40

    There is a florescent bulb which sits right behind the glass pixels and illuminates these

    cells. Each pixel has a TFT transistor next to it that determines how much it should be

    electrically charged. Less the pixel is electrically charged, more light beams it allows

    and greater the intensity of respective colour on the LCD screen. Thus, the light beams

    are either blocked off or shown in different amounts so the combination of all pixels

    produce the image on the screen.

    KEY FETURE OF LCD TELEVISION

    Screen resolution

    The native or screen resolution determines how much sharp the picture will look on the

    screen. CRT type TVs work well with standard definition and can show pictures of 330

    lines resolution.

    The screen resolution of LCD TV starts

    from 720p and higher (1080i and

    1080p). This means its higher native

    resolution ensures that picture looks

    sharper, more detailed and clearer.

    LCD Screen and profile

    Typically, LCD TV screen size varies between 26" and 40" although larger screen sizes

    are available at expensive price tags. Currently, the largest LCD TV available in

    commercial market has about 52" screen size and the models will be very few.

    LCD TV is a bit thinner (less than 3" thickness) and also weighs much lesser than

    plasma TV so it can be hung on the wall.

    Wide Aspect Ratio

    LCD TV looks typically rectangular as its screen supports 16:9 aspect ratios, which is

    the standard screen format of high definition videos. However, home videos and

    standard TV broadcast still use 4:3 aspect ratio so all LCD TVs are designed to

    automatically fit 4:3 aspect ratio images to its screen so you see the picture filling the

    entire screen.

    As high-definition TV signals and videos are encoded in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround

    sound, LCD TV comes with audio connections to connect to home theater speakers so

    you can recreate theatrical sound effects in your living room.

    ADVANTAGES OF LCD TV

    LCD TVs have following advantages over the historical CRT television sets:

    Occupies less space: - LCD TV has a thickness of 3" - 5" and weighs so less

    that it can be mounted on wall. Even when it is installed using table mount, it

    occupies much less space in your living room.

    Elegant design of LCD TV adds beauty to the interior of your room : - LCD

    TV becomes an attractive element of your living room as it looks so modern and

    sleek. With wall socket, you can mount it on the wall or just place it on the stand.

    Whichever way, LCD TV is the cynosure of all eyes.

    LCD TV causes less eyestrain: - LCD TV uses advanced video processing

    technologies so there is no flicker and scanning lines are almost invisible to eyes.

    LCD picture looks smoother and its brightness does not put so much strain on

    your eyes even when viewed from close distances. You can watch it for fairly

    longer period.

    There is no screen glare: -LCD TV screen is not glassy like CRT TV or plasma

    TV so it does not glare off in ambient conditions. So, LCD TV looks bright even in

    well-lit rooms.

    HISTORY

    HISTORY OF TELEVISION

    Unlike non-electronic media, television has no simple way of determining the number of

    viewers who watch a particular show. There are no tickets to count, coupons to clip or

    unsold magazines to return. And yet the industry's raison d'etre is not to deliver a show

    to an audience but a market to an advertiser. A network or local station sells (or, more

    accurately, rents) its audience to clients like a herd of cattle, currently at a cost per

    thousand (cpm) of about $4 for prime-time fare. How to count the heads became one of

    the industry's first problems.

    16/68

    Into the breach stepped the A. C. Nielsen Co. of Chicago, Ill., a marketing research

    organization that makes 90 percent of its earnings surveying supermarket shelves but

    has gained its public notoriety from its TV audience survey, the high-sounding National

    Television Index. From a Census Bureau master list the company picks a secret sample

    of 1170 TV homes in randomly selected locations. Nowadays each home is outfitted

    with a tiny electrical device called an audiometer that records, every 30 seconds around

    the clock, the channels that all TV sets are tuned to. The audiometers are hooked up to

    special telephone lines that permit Nielsen computers to simply dial in for the viewing

    information. A ratings number is

    the percentage of all "Nielsen

    families" tuned to a particular

    show-at least all those that are

    counted during each biweekly

    rating period, generally far less

    than 1170. A "share" is the

    percentage of Nielsen families

    actually watching TV that is

    tuned into the show. Generally

    speaking, no regular prime-time

    show stays on the air very long

    with much less than a 30 share

    in its prime time.

    For its cooperation each family receives about $25 a year plus compensation for half of

    its television repair bill. But the real rewards must be psychological the genuine, if

    anonymous, power that the family has over the country's viewing choices.

    Qualitative analysis of raw audience data. Throughout most of the history of television,

    advertisers bought a "bulk" rather than a "select" viewership, the larger the better. Then

    in the '60s sponsors came increasingly to realize that not every member of the audience

    was equally valuable to them. No longer were they merely interested in reaching the

    largest number of people they had to be the right people young families with

  • 7/29/2019 Final(Lcd Tv)

    17/68

    40

    plenty of "disposable income" at their disposal. "Young marrieds," "target audiences"

    and "purchasing power" became the latest Madison Avenue buzz words, the ideal being

    that if you could concentrate your advertising on people between the ages of 1849, you

    were likely to be reaching two parents with, say, three kids or, in more basic terms,

    rive sets of teeth that needed brushing

    Increasingly, TV

    programmers are catering

    exclusively to the young and

    the rich. The emphasis on

    younger and younger target

    audiences has made some

    of the most popular prime-

    time fare virtual cartoon shows for post-pubescent. And since the same qualities, which

    make younger people more receptive to new retail products, make them more receptive

    to new shows of whatever quality, the cartoons seem to come and go with increasing

    frequency. In recent years some new shows have been canceled before they even got

    on the air because they did not have desirable demographic breakdowns in preview

    tests, while many new series were canceled after only a few showings. Almost every TV

    writer and producer I talk to complains that this new network policy forces them to reach

    for immediately recognizable clichs since they do not have the time to develop a

    character over a period of time.

    HISTORY OF LCD TV

    1) Early efforts

    Passive matrix LCDs first became common in the 1980s for various portable computer

    roles. At the time they competed with plasma displays in the same market space. The

    LCDs had very slow refresh rates that blurred the screen even with scrolling text, but

    their light weight and low cost were major benefits. Screens using reflective LCDs

  • 7/29/2019 Final(Lcd Tv)

    18/68

    40

    required no internal light source, making them particularly well suited to laptop

    computers.

    Refresh rates were far too slow to be useful for television, but at the time there was no

    pressing need for new television technologies. Resolutions were limited to standard

    definition, although a number of technologies were pushing displays towards the limits

    of that standard; Super VHS offered improved color saturation, and DVDs added higher

    resolutions as well. Even with these advances, screen sizes over 30" were rare as these

    formats would start to appear blocky at normal seating distances when viewed on larger

    screens. Projection systems were generally limited to situations where the image had to

    be viewed by a larger audience.

    Nevertheless, some experimentation with LCD televisions took place during this period.

    In 1988, Sharp Corporation introduced the first commercial LCD television, a 14" model.

    These were offered primarily as boutique items for discerning customers, and were not

    aimed at the general market. At the same time, plasma displays could easily offer the

    performance needed to make a high quality display, but suffered from low brightness

    and very high power consumption. However, a series of advances led to plasma

    displays outpacing LCDs in performance improvements, starting with Fujitsu's improved

    construction techniques in 1979, Hitachi's improved phosphors in 1984, and AT&Ts

    elimination of the black areas between the sub-pixels in the mid-1980s. By the late

    1980s, plasma displays were far in advance of LCDs.

    High-definition

    It was the slow standardization ofhigh definition television that first produced a market

    for new television technologies. In particular, the wider 16:9 aspect ratio of the new

    material was difficult to build using CRTs; ideally a CRT should be perfectly circular inorder to best contain its internal vacuum, and as the aspect ratio becomes more

    rectangular it becomes more difficult to make the tubes. At the same time, the much

    higher resolutions these new formats offered were lost at smaller screen sizes, so CRTs

    faced the twin problems of becoming larger and more rectangular at the same time.

    LCDs of the era were still not able to cope with fast-moving images, especially at higher

    resolutions, and from the mid-1990s the plasma display was the only real offering in the

    high resolution space.

    Through the halting introduction of HDTV in the mid-1990s into the early 2000s, plasma

    displays were the primary high-definition display technology. However, their high cost,

    both manufacturing and on the street, meant that older technologies like CRTs

    maintained a footprint in spite of their disadvantages. LCD, however, was widely

    considered to be unable to scale into the same space, and it was widely believed that

    the move to high-definition would push it from the market entirely.

    This situation changed rapidly. Contrary to early optimism, plasma displays never saw

    the massive economies of scale that were expected, and remained expensive.

    Meanwhile, LCD technologies like Overdrive started to address their ability to work at

    television speeds. Initially produced at smaller sizes, fitting into the low-end space that

    plasmas could not fill, LCDs started to experience the economies of scale that plasmas

    failed to achieve. By 2004, 32" models were widely available, 42" sets were becoming

    common, and much larger prototypes were being demonstrated.

    Market takeover

    Although plasmas continued to hold an arguable picture quality edge over LCDs, and

    even a price advantage for sets at the critical 42" size and larger, LCD prices started

    falling rapidly in 2006 while their screen sizes were increasing at a similarly furious rate.

    By late 2006, several vendors were offering 42" LCDs, albeit at a price premium,

    encroaching on plasma's only stronghold. More critically, LCDs offer higher resolutions

    and true 1080p support, while plasmas were stuck at 720p, which made up for the price

    difference.

    Predictions that prices for LCDs would drop rapidly through 2007 led to a "wait and see"

    attitude in the market, and sales of all large-screen televisions stagnated while

    customers watched to see if this would happen. Plasmas and LCDs reached price parity

    in 2007, at which point the LCD's higher resolution was a winning point for many sales.

    By late 2007, it was clear that LCDs were going to outsell plasmas during the critical

    Christmas sales season. This was in spite of the fact that plasmas continued to hold an

    image quality advantage, but as the president of Chunghwa Picture Tubes noted after

    shutting down their plasma production line, "Globally, so many companies, so many

    investments, so many people have been working in this area, on this product. So they

    can improve so quickly."

    When the sales figures for the 2007 Christmas season were finally tallied, pundits were

    surprised to find that LCDs had not only outsold plasma, but also outsold CRTs during

    the same period. This evolution drove competing large-screen systems from the market

    almost overnight. Plasma had overtaken rear-projection systems in 2005, and in 2007the last remaining consumer rear-projection systems were gone. The same was true for

    CRTs, which lasted only a few months longer; Sony ended sales of their famous

    Trinitron in most markets in 2007, and shut down the final plant in March 2008. The

    February 2009 announcement that Pioneer Electronics was ending production of the

    plasma screens was widely considered the tipping point in that technology's history as

    well.

    LCD's dominance in the television market accelerated rapidly. It was the only

    technology that could scale both up and down in size, covering both the high-end

    market for large screens in the 40 to 50" class, as well as customers looking to replace

    their existing smaller CRT sets in the 14 to 30" range. Building across these wide scales

    quickly pushed the prices down across the board.

    Current sixth-generation panels by major manufacturers such as Samsung, Sony, LG

    Display, and the Sharp Corporation have announced larger sized models:

    In October 2004, Sharp announced the successful manufacture of a 65" panel.

    In March 2005, Samsung announced an 82" LCD panel.

    In August 2006, LG Display Consumer Electronics announced a 100" LCD

    In January 2007, Sharp displayed a 108" LCD panel under the AQUOS brand

    name at CES in Las Vegas.

    Recent research

    Some manufacturers are also experimenting with extending color reproduction of LCD

    televisions. Although current LCD panels are able to deliver all sRGB colors using an

    appropriate combination of backlight's spectrum and optical filters, manufacturers want

    to display even more colors. One of the approaches is to use a fourth or even fifth and

    sixth color in the optical color filter array. Another approach is to use two sets of suitably

    narrowband backlights (e.g. LEDs), with slightly differing colors, in combination with

    broadband optical filters in the panel, and alternating backlights each consecutive

    frame.

    Fully using the extended color gamut will naturally require an appropriately captured

    material and some modifications to the distribution channel. Otherwise, the only use of

    the extra colors would be to let the looker boost the color saturation of the TV picture

    beyond what was intended by the producer, but avoiding the otherwise unavoidable loss

    of detail ("burnout") in saturated areas.

    Competing systems

    In spite of LCD's current dominance of the television field, there are several other

    technologies being developed that address its shortcomings. Whereas LCDs produce

    an image by selectively blocking a backlight, LED, OLEDs, FED and SEDs all produce

    light directly on the front face of the display. In comparison to LCDs, all of these

    technologies offer better viewing angles, much higher brightness and contrast ratio (as

    much as 5,000,000:1), and better color saturation and accuracy, and use less than 1/10

    as much power. In theory, they are less complex and less expensive to build.

    Actually manufacturing these screens has proved more difficult than originally imagined.

    Sony abandoned their FED project in March 2009, but continue work on their OLED

    sets. Canon continues development of their SED technology, but announced that they

    will not attempt to introduce sets to market for the foreseeable future.

    Samsung has been displaying OLED sets at 14.1, 31 and 40 inch sizes for some time,

    and at the SID 2009 trade show in San Antonio they announced that the 14.1 and 31

    inch sets are "production ready".

    BASIC LCD CONCEPTS

    LCD television at home together with Play station 3 and some other equipment

    LCD televisions produce a colored image by selectively filtering a white light. The light is

    typically provided by a series ofcold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) at the back of

    the screen, although some displays use white or colored LEDs instead. Millions of

    individual LCD shutters arranged in a grid, open and close to allow a metered amount of

    the white light through. Each shutter is paired with a colored filter to remove all but the

    red, green or blue (RGB) portion of the light from the original white source. Each

    shutterfilter pair forms a single sub-pixel. The sub-pixels are so small that when the

    display is viewed from even a short distance, the individual colors blend together to

    produce a single spot of color, apixel. The shade of color is controlled by changing the

    relative intensity of the light passing through the sub-pixels.

    Liquid crystals encompass a wide range of (typically) rod-shaped polymers that

    naturally form into thin layers, as opposed to the more random alignment of a normal

    liquid. Some of these, the nematic liquid crystals, also show an alignment effect

    between the layers. The particular direction of the alignment of a nematic liquid crystal

    can be set by placing it in contact with an alignment layer or director, which is

    essentially a material with microscopic groves in it. When placed on a director, the layer

    in contact will align itself with the grooves, and the layers above will subsequently align

    themselves with the layers below, the bulk material taking on the director's alignment. In

    the case of an LCD, this effect is utilized by using two directors arranged at right angles

    and placed close together with the liquid crystal between them. This forces the layers to

    align themselves in two directions, creating a twisted structure with each layer aligned at

    a slightly different angle to the ones on either side.

    LCD shutters consist of a stack of three primary elements. On the bottom and top of the

    shutter are polarizer plates set at (typically) right angles. Normally light cannot travel

    through a pair of polarizers arranged in this fashion, and the display would be black.

    The polarizer does also carry the directors to create the twisted structure aligned with

    the polarizers on either side. As the light flows out of the rear polarizer, it will naturally

    follow the liquid crystal's twist, exiting the front of the liquid crystal having been rotated

    through the correct angle that allows it to pass through the front polarizer. LCDs are

    normally transparent.

    To turn a shutter off, an electrical voltage is applied across it from front to back. When

    this happens, the rod-shaped molecules align themselves with the electric field instead

    of the directors, destroying the twisted structure. The light no longer changespolarization as it flows through the liquid crystal, and can no longer pass through the

    front polarizer. By controlling the voltage applied across the crystal, the amount of

    remaining twist can be finely selected. This allows the transparency or opacity of the

    shutter to be accurately controlled. In order to improve switching time, the cells are

    placed under pressure, which increases the force to re-align themselves with the

    directors when the field is turned off.

    Several other variations and modifications have been used in order to improve

    performance in certain applications. In-Plane Switching displays (IPS and S-IPS) offer

    wider viewing angles and better color reproduction, but are more difficult to construct

    and have slightly slower response times. IPS displays are used primarily for computer

    monitors. Vertical Alignment (VA, S-PVA and MVA) offer higher contrast ratios and

    good response times, but suffer from color shifting when viewed from the side. In

    general, all of these displays work in a similar fashion by controlling the polarization of

    the light source.

    Addressing sub-pixels

    A close-up (300) view of a typical LCD display, clearly showing the sub-pixel structure.

    The "notch" at the lower left of each sub-pixel is the thin-film transistor. The associated

    capacitors and addressing lines are located around the shutter, in the dark areas.

    In order to address a single shutter on the display, a series of electrodes is deposited on

    the plates on either side of the liquid crystal. One side has horizontal stripes that form

    rows; the other has vertical stripes that form columns. By supplying voltage to one row

    and one column, a field will be generated at the point where they cross. Since a metal

    electrode would be opaque, LCDs use electrodes made of a transparent conductor,

    typically indium tin oxide.

    Building a display

    A typical shutter assembly consists of a sandwich of several layers deposited on two

    thin glass sheets forming the front and back of the display. For smaller display sizes

    (under 30 inches), the glass sheets can be replaced with plastic.

    The rear sheet starts with a polarizing film, the glass sheet, the active matrix

    components and addressing electrodes, and then the director. The front sheet is similar,

    but lacks the active matrix components, replacing those with the patterned color filters.

    Using a multi-step construction process, both sheets can be produced on the same

    assembly line. The liquid crystal is placed between the two sheets in a patterned plastic

    sheet that divides the liquid into individual shutters and keeps the sheets at a precise

    distance from each other.

    The critical step in the manufacturing process is the deposition of the active matrix

    components. These have a relatively high failure rate, which renders those pixels on the

    screen "always on". If there are enough broken pixels, the screen has to be discarded.

    The number of discarded panels has a strong effect on the price of the resulting

    television sets, and the major downward fall in pricing between 2006 and 2008 was due

    mostly to improved processes.

    To produce a complete television, the shutter assembly is combined with control

    electronics and backlight. The backlight for small sets can be provided by a single lamp

    using a diffuser or frosted mirror to spread out the light, but for larger displays a single

    lamp is not bright enough and the rear surface is instead covered with a number of

    separate lamps. Achieving even lighting over the front of an entire display remains a

    challenge, and bright and dark spots are not uncommon.

    IMPORTANT FEATURES

    In addition to the points made elsewhere in this report, there are lots of things to

    consider before purchasing an L.C.D TV. Here are some that experts say often get

    overlooked:

    Match TV size to the size of your room. Because HD LCD screens have higher

    resolutions than older tvs, you can sit closer to them, meaning you can get awaywith a bigger screen. Even so, 52-inch screens that look great in a showroom

    may overwhelm a small room.

    Shop around for price. In our research, we found big price differences from

    retailer to retailer, so it pays to look around.

    Verify that the TV comes with a stand or mounting hardware. Most LCD TVS

    come with a basic table stand; some stands swivel, but others do not. Wall-

    mounting hardware is rarely included and could cost an additional $100 to $200.

    CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

    THEORY

    CUSTOMER SATISFACTION THEORY

  • 7/29/2019 Final(Lcd Tv)

    29/68

    40

    Whether the buyer is satisfied after purchase depends on the offers performance

    in relation to the buyers expectations.

    Satisfaction is a persons fallings of pleasure or disappointment resulting from

    comparing a products perceived performance 9or outcome) in relation to his or her

    expectations.

    As this definition makes clear, satisfaction is a function ofperceived performance

    and expectation. If the performance falls short of expectations, the customers, the

    customer is dissatisfied. If the performance matches the expectations, the customers

    are satisfied. If the performance exceeds expectations, the customers are highly

    satisfied or delighted.

    Many companies are aiming for high satisfaction because customers who are

    just satisfied still find it easy to switch when a better comes along. Those who are highly

    satisfied are much less ready to switch. High satisfaction or delight creates an emotional

    bond with the brand, not just a rational performance.

    The result is high customer loyalty. Xeroxs senior management believes that a

    very satisfied or delighted customer is worth 10 times as much to the company as a

    satisfied customer. A very customer is likely to stay with Xerox many more years and

    buy more than a satisfied customer will.

    Organizations are increasingly interested in retaining existing customers while targeting

    non-customers. Measuring customer satisfaction provides an indication of how

    successful the organization is at providing products and/or services to the marketplace.

    Customer satisfaction is an ambiguous and abstract concept and the actual

    manifestation of the state of satisfaction will vary from person to person and

    product/service to product/service. The state of satisfaction depends on a number of

  • 7/29/2019 Final(Lcd Tv)

    30/68

    40

    both psychological and physical variables which correlate with satisfaction behaviors

    such as return and recommend rate. The level of satisfaction can also vary depending

    on other options the customer may have and other products against which the customer

    can compare the organization's products.

    Because satisfaction is basically a psychological state, care should be taken in the effort

    of quantitative measurement, although a large quantity of research in this area has

    recently been developed. The usual measures of customer satisfaction involve a

    survey with a set of statements using a Linkert Technique or scale. The customer is

    asked to evaluate each statement and in term of their perception and expectation of

    performance of the organization being measured.

    FIRST WHAT SHOULD BE EXPECT BY THE CUSTOMER WITH L.C.D TV AND

    RECEIVE SATISFACTION FROM IT

    1) What is an LCD TV?

    An LCD TV is a flat panel television using Liquid Crystal Display technology of the type

    previously available in mobile phones and computer screens. Now it is commonly used

    to deliver high quality flat screen TVs. The super slim design and brightness of the LCD

    models make them a very attractive option for consumers.

    LCD televisions consist of two layers of glass material which are stuck to each other.

    One layer contains liquid crystals which filter electric currents. Their ability to block or

    allow pixilated light creates the images you see on your screen. LCD TVs are flicker

    free because the LCD has a constant source of light over the whole screen.

    As well as their superb picture quality and widescreen formats their super thinness also

    makes them a versatile product for anywhere in your home. Like plasma TVs they canbe wall hung or on a desk or stand. Most LCD televisions have built-in digital TV tuners.

    Their Liquid Crystal Technology means they are not as prone to overheating as Plasma

    models.

    2) Why choose an LCD TV?

    LCD panels are brighter than conventional TVs due to the use of pixels. Superb

    screen brightness is due to the pixel technology's performance against the fluorescent

    backlight. LCD panels are constructed in various sizes and shapes to accommodate

    16:9 ratios for widescreen displays. Like Plasma TVs they can be wall mounted. These

    ultra thin TVs maximize the space in your home. Low power consumption means they

    are more energy efficient than conventional TVs and do not transmit radiation from their

    screens like conventional TVs. Most LCD televisions already have built-in standard TV

    tuners and are not as prone to overheating as Plasma TVs and traditional sets.

    3) What are the main differences between Plasma and LCD TVs? (Identify)

    o LCDs are typically more expensive in the classic screen sizes.

    o LCDs have lower contrast ratios than plasmas and struggle more with

    dark shades.

    o Plasma TVs have in the past had quicker response times.

    o LCD TVs tend to be thicker than plasma TVs for the same price.

    o Plasma TVs are more easily viewable from the side.

    o LCD TVs are immune to overheating and are easier to view in brightly lit

    rooms.

    o

    LCDs usually include all the built-in features of a traditional TV.

    4) What other issues should customer consider when buying a flat screen?

    Check out the contrast ratio which refers to the brightest and darkest light values a

    display can produce at the same time. The higher the contrast ratio is the better. The

    aspect ratio describes the relationship of screen width to screen height. Conventional

    sets have a 4:3 aspect ratio, whereas most flat screens have wide-screen 16:9 which is

    what you should look for.

    The resolution is specified as the number of pixel columns by the number of pixel rows

    e.g. 1280 by 720. Generally speaking, a display is considered high definition if it is wide

  • 7/29/2019 Final(Lcd Tv)

    32/68

    40

    screen and has a total pixel count approaching 1 million. So 1920 by 1080, 1280 by

    720, 1366 by 768, and 1024 by 1024 are all good examples of high-definition displays.

    Always check the number and type of video inputs which determine which sources you

    can use with the display.

    5) What else should I look for?

    Displays - Most flat screens look great with HDTV and DVD but check

    other signals too. Check a variety of images and broadcasts.

    Black and Grey - Check the screen against a darkly lit old movie. Often a

    sign of good quality is the ability to broadcast good low light images.

    Remote Controls - Check you are happy with the remote. Is it too bulky?How easy is it to use? What features does it have? Some have glow in the

    dark buttons.

    Settings - Play with the contrast, brightness, colour controls etc. The

    display in the shop will probably not have the best settings. Check on a

    variety of channels/images.

    A good report describes and explains the results derived at through the

    study. As a result, whatever limitation occurs in the study, also creep into

    the report and become the limitations of the report. In Short, it can be said

    that a study is as accurate as the limitations of its study. Every project has

    its own limitations and so did mine. I have listed a few of the limitation of

    my studies below:

    1. The survey was limited only to the physical boundaries of the city of

    Surat and there by limited in the population studied.2. The time period of the survey being only two months, it was not

    possible to conduct a highly in-depth and detailed study, which in turn

    might affect the findings.

    3. Different people have different thought process and different

    attitudes. As a result, their manner of answering the questions of the

    study differs. Therefore, the answers received were sometimes good

    while sometimes they were negative.

    4. Due to unavoidable circumstances, the study had to be stopped mid-

    way for some time.

    Properly conduct of market survey is a required tool for top management in

    decision making in order to conduct a useful and objective market research. A research

    methodology only then the studies conduct can be properly elaborated and commented

    on so I have conduct research and it include some sub-point and first one is market

    research.

    Marketing research is the function which links the consumer, customer and

    Public to the market through information-information used to identify and define

    marketing opportunities and problems, generate, refine and evaluate marketing actions,

    monitor understanding of marketing as a process.

    5.2 Research design and choice

    A research design in the specification of methods and

    procedures for acquiring the needed information it is the over all

    operational pattern of frame work of the project that stipulates what

    information is to be collected from which sources by what procedures

    To achieve objectives of my project study I have selected the

    exploratory research & also the causal research.

    METHOD of DATA COLLECTION:

    There are two types of data

    Primary data: -

    Primary data is the data which is collected by the research at first hand.

    Sources

    To collect primary data the questionnaire system is uses throughmarket survey. Structured non disguised questionnaire is applied in which

    question are listing in prearranged on paper and where the object of inquiry

    is revealed to the respondent I have contacted the customer and

  • 7/29/2019 Final(Lcd Tv)

    39/68

    40

    interviewed them by personally & by telephones. The analysis of the

    collected data through questionnaire is given in the later part of the project.

    Secondary data

    Secondary data whether internal or external is the data already

    collected by others for propose other then solution of the problem at hand

    Secondary sources are

    PRE-TESTING

    A pre- testing is small-scale replica of the main study. It dresses a

    rehearsal and provides guidance on the following matter.

    1. The adequacy of the sampling frame to be followed for the survey.

    2. It helps the researcher in selecting the data collection method.

    3. It gives prior knowledge about the population to be sampled.

    4. The pre0testing helps the researcher in checking the validity of thequestionnaire and in redesigning of the same.

    5. It also provides training to the researcher for interviewing.

    SAMPLING PLAN:

    A number of decision & task are including in sampling and it is the

    procedure required right from defining a population selection of sampleelement.

    Define the population: -

    The population id defined in terms of Element, Sampling units, Extent, Time

  • 7/29/2019 Final(Lcd Tv)

    40

    Element: -Owner of Maruti four wheeler

    Sampling unit: -Businessman, Professional, salaried, student.

    Extent: -Surat city

    Sampling Frame

    I have taken whole Surat city as sample frame for conducting

    research.

    Sampling Method

    I have used proportionate random sampling to select the respondent

    from the entire population

    I have conducted a pilot survey by interviewing 5 respondents.

    I am asking about the survey 419 people and finally 100 questionnaire

    filled up.

    Select randomly, it is helpful in finalization of the questionnaire and

    also in knowing standard error or core element. How this survey has

    became useful to me in deciding the sample size

    5.3 Objectives ofStudy

    Objectives:

    FOR GETTING KNOWLEDGE ABOUT L.C.D T.V

    TO KNOW CRITERIA OF PURCHAGING LCD TV.

    5.4 Sample design

    In the sampling plan the basic and important question is who is to be survey, it is

    not possible to ask question to every person in the market.

    I have conducted my Survey particularly in the Surat city and the survey is

    related to comparison of Hero-Honda with Bajaj. When research has decided to carry

    out field survey, it has to be decided whether it is to be census of sample survey. There

    are two types of sampling method:

    A) Statistical Methods:

    In this method there are various categories

    Random Sampling

    Stratified Random Sampling

    Disproportionate Random Sampling

  • 7/29/2019 Final(Lcd Tv)

    42/68

    40

    Multi-Stage Sampling

    Area Sampling

    B) Non-Statistical Methods:

    Convenience Sampling

    Judgment Sampling

    Here, I have used Random Sampling to know the competition between Hero-Honda and

    Bajaj in the market.

    5.5 Limitation of the Study

    I have done my best in preparing this report, still there some obstacles that some

    in the way. These limitation sometimes can be overcome but sometime they become

    unavoidable some of the limitation. Which I faced in preparing this project is as follows:

    1. Sometime respondent is not interested in filling up the questionnaires so they

    dont provided prevalent information.

    2. The overall survey was time consuming & expensive.

  • 7/29/2019 Final(Lcd Tv)

    43/68

    3. The sample may not exactly represent the population as the time period of the

    two month formed to be in sufficient and the entire project was to be completed

    in lots.
