Goedeker’s History

Started as Goedeker Radio and Television Repair in June 1951 in his basement, founder Ben Goedeker focused on providing the best possible service at the lowest price to his friends and neighbors. In 1953 Goedeker’s expanded into sales, first with electronics then appliances. Our first location was a 1,200 sqft showroom located in south St. Louis. This location proved sufficient until 1970 when Goedeker’s expanded into a 3500 sq ft location also located in South St. Louis.

Ben Goedeker believed that customer service was more than just being polite, it was carrying a large selection of quality name brand appliances and electronics at the lowest possible price. Ben also realized to be successful he must have a knowledgeable sales staff to help educate his customers to make the best purchase possible. Ben’s life was tragically cut short at the age of 50.

Steve Goedeker, Ben’s eldest son took over the business at this time. Goedeker’s quickly became a household name in St. Louis and in 1989 Steve Goedeker expanded the business to a 22,000 sqft location. In 1990, two of Steve’s siblings, Mike and Janet, joined Steve at Goedeker’s. Mike was brought in to manage the sales department and Janet to run the accounting department. In St. Louis, Goedeker’s is the place to go for new appliances or TV’s. With Goedeker’s vast selection, knowledgeable sales staff, unbeatable low prices and excellent customer service it grew to become the largest privately owned appliance and electronic dealer in Missouri.

Goedeker’s was growing so fast it needed another St. Louis location. In 1998 Steve opened a new headquarters. Located in the St. Louis West County suburb of Ballwin, Goedeker’s opened its 50,000 sqft megastore and added furniture and mattresses at this time. Shortly thereafter we added on to this location with a distribution center.

In 2008 Steve decided to add the same great level of customer service, vast selection of products and excellent pricing to the internet. In July of 2008, Number1Direct was created and already we have thousands upon thousands of satisfied nationwide customers. Number1direct by Goedeker’s has the same principles and values brought into the business by Ben almost 60 years ago. We strive to offer our online customers the best selection with the guaranteed lowest price available.

How Do They Work?

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) TVs are a newer technology.They are made up of two glass panels filled with liquid crystal. The front glass panel has a grid pattern (template) etched into it so that the liquid crystal can be filtered by light. The crystals act like smart shutters allowing light to pass or to be blocked. The patterns of light and dark crystals determine the image on the TV. The twisted nematic (TN) is the most common type of liquid crystal used in display applications such as LCD televisions, monitors and projectors. This crystal reacts to electric currents in predictable ways,

such as untwisting to varying degrees depending on the voltage of the current to which it is exposed. The main difference between Plasma and LCD technology is that LCD pixels don’t give off light. As with Plasma technology, an LCD pixel is comprised of three sub-pixels in the elementary colors. Because they don’t give off light, LCD displays need white backlighting. The light given off by the backlighting passes through the liquid crystal and is then colored by a filter. Each sub-pixel has the same characteristics; only the color of the filter changes depending on the pixel. The liquid crystal of each sub-pixel can be controlled electrically like a valve; the amount of light allowed to pass through the crystal governs how much red, green and blue is given off for each pixel. Active matrix LCDs employ thin film transistors (TFTs) or tiny switching transistors and capacitors arranged in a matrix on a glass substrate, to direct electric charges down columns to reach a particular pixel. In essence, this causes the liquid crystals to untwist and display a prearranged amount of light generated by the light source – usually a fluorescent bulb located in back of them. By exploiting a combination of red, green, and blue sub-pixels of various intensities (or gray scales), a single pixel triad can reproduce approximately 16.8 million colors.

Advantages and Disadvantages to LCD TVs

Advantages

• LCD TVs include great still image quality as well as being an excellent computer screen with an exceptionally bright picture.
• LCD TVs don’t take up a lot of space, they can be wall mounted and they weigh less than Plasma TVs.
• LCD TVs have a long, practically maintenance-free life.
• LCDs offer higher resolutions than Plasmas of the same size. They also have excellent image stability. In other words, you can sit close without experiencing eye exhaustion.
• LCDs possess a longer lifetime than Plasma televisions, whith a difference of about 50,000 hours versus 30,000 hours.
• LCDs are best over any other flat-panel displays when it comes to computers. LCD monitors are now used for most applications including games, office applications, and photo retouching.
• LCDs operate at much cooler temperatures and cost less per hour than Plasma televisions. The smaller and better transistors found in LCDs give them another advantage over Plasma – higher resolution.

Disadvantages:

• Possible quick delays in pictures with fast movement (size 37 inches and less handle the delay better than the larger sizes),
• Some types of LCDs have trouble with black levels,
• Some lesser quality LCDs have pixel failure.
• The prices dramatically increase with LCD TVs over the size of 35 inches.
• LCD viewing angles cannot match those of Plasma displays. You tend to see some brightness and color shift when you’re sitting at too far an angle from your LCD, while Plasma’s picture remains fairly solid.
• LCDs have lower contrast ratios than Plasmas and are not as good at rendering deep blacks.
• Not as good as Plasmas in tracking motion and fast-moving objects may exhibit what is called, lag artifacts.
