Liquid-crystal-display televisions (LCD TVs) are television sets that use [[liquid-crystal display]] technology to produce images. [[LCD television]]s are much thinner and lighter than [[cathode-ray tube]] (CRTs) of similar display size and are available in much larger sizes (e.g., 90-inch diagonal). When manufacturing costs fell, this combination of features made LCDs practical for television receivers. LCDs come in two types: those using [[cold cathode]] fluorescent lamps, simply called LCDs, and those using [[LED]] as backlight called [[LED-backlit LCD television|LEDs]].

In 2007, LCD television sets surpassed sales of CRT-based television sets worldwide for the first time, and their sales figures relative to other technologies accelerated. LCD television sets have quickly displaced the only major competitors in the large-screen market, the [[Plasma display]] panel and [[rear-projection television]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.dailytech.com/Report+Shipments+of+LCD+TVs+Surpass+CRT+TVs/article10775.htm | title=Hardware Report: Shipments of LCD TVs Surpass CRT TVs | publisher=DailyTech LLC. | access-date=20 February 2016 | archive-date=4 March 2016 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304072736/http://www.dailytech.com/Report+Shipments+of+LCD+TVs+Surpass+CRT+TVs/article10775.htm | url-status=dead }}</ref> In mid 2010s LCDs especially LEDs became, by far, the most widely produced and sold television display type.<ref name="Displaysearch.com" /><ref name="ReferenceA"/> LCDs also have disadvantages. Other technologies address these weaknesses, including [[organic light-emitting diode|OLEDs]], [[Field-emission display|FED]] and [[Surface-conduction electron-emitter display|SED]], but {{as of|2014|lc=on}} none of these have entered widespread production.
