What are the advantages of a flat-screen TV over a regular one?

1. The biggest advantage is that it's much thinner and lighter than a traditional television, making it easier to mount on walls or other surfaces.
2. Flat screens also have better contrast ratio, meaning they can show more detail in dark scenes without losing too much brightness.
3. A flat screen also allows for more flexibility when mounting as there is no need to worry about the depth of the frame.
4. Another benefit is that flat screens generally use LED backlighting which produces less heat and energy than older CCFL technology.
5. Finally, since flat screens don't require any internal components, they're cheaper to produce.
