| LCD TVs are getting more widespread attention | | | | Price |
| these days. And even though CRT is not going | | | | |
| to be extinct in the near future it sure is | | | | Bigger screen, bigger price. It's as simple |
| getting a big whack on the head by LCDs. An | | | | as that. But when you're comparing two TVs |
| LCD TV is more expensive that CRT that's for | | | | with the same screen size a more expensive |
| sure and for a large size LCD the price can | | | | one doesn't necessarily better. An LCD tv |
| be really expensive. But they are still | | | | will cost you thousands of dollars and you |
| cheaper that the plasmas and on some model | | | | really should be picky on your selection. |
| the LCD even deliver better images than | | | | |
| plasmas. Since this is a big ticket item you | | | | Picture |
| really should take your time researching and | | | | |
| this article intend to help you to choose the | | | | When you're buying an LCD TV on a brick and |
| best. | | | | mortar store it's easy to compare the |
| | | | pictures cause the TVs are placed side by |
| Here is a short list of things you need to | | | | side. But when you're only seeing their |
| consider if you're in the market for LCD TV. | | | | pictures online your best bet is the reviews. |
| I deliberately put the non-technical stuff | | | | Buyers that disappointed with bad quality |
| first because they are often overlooked. | | | | pictures will definitely scream their heart |
| | | | out online. |
| Space | | | | |
| | | | Speakers |
| Everyone wants the biggest tv they can afford | | | | |
| but where will you going to put it? If you | | | | Built-in speakers are mostly average quality |
| intend to put your LCD tv in the bedroom even | | | | but for me it's okay since my ears can't |
| a 40" will look pretty big. Whatever size you | | | | understand the difference between average and |
| choose make sure it will not add a clutter to | | | | high quality sound ( especially during |
| your room. | | | | regular tv programs ). You, on the other |
| | | | hand, may need to get some quality speakers |
| Location | | | | if you're one of those who have super |
| | | | sensitive ears (which i envy btw) |
| Some TVs gets a glossy screen and glare | | | | |
| problem when put in a bright room. So if "TV | | | | Style |
| room" gets allot of sunlight check the | | | | |
| reviews online just in case it gets any of | | | | Some look great some look dull. Even though |
| these problems. If you buy it on an brick and | | | | your LCD TV provide great pictures but if it |
| mortar store it's even easier to check. Stare | | | | looks like a glass wrapped in a plastic frame |
| at the TV from different angles and see if it | | | | you'll be embarrassed when you're neighbor |
| glares back at you. | | | | decided to watch the ball game with you. |
| | | | Another problem is the TV frame/enclosure. If |
| Shipping | | | | it's too glossy it will certainly reflects |
| | | | some of the lights which might distract your |
| If you decided to buy online. Shipping can be | | | | from that movie you're watching. Also |
| a problem. But i'm not talking about delayed | | | | consider your interior to see if the TV will |
| shipping or something like that but the | | | | stand out too much or blend perfectly. |
| damages that might occurred when you're TV is | | | | Personally i prefer to change my room |
| being shipped. A good shipping company will | | | | interior to match the TV than vice versa. But |
| inspect you're TV once it arrived at your | | | | that just me. |
| door. If the delivery guy doesn't bother to | | | | |
| check the TV after you sign the receipt make | | | | High Definition? |
| sure he stays there while you do the | | | | |
| inspection for any possible damages. Hook up | | | | Definitely get the HD one. It is THE future |
| the cable, turn it on and see if the picture | | | | of television. If you don't get a full HD tv |
| is perfectly acceptable. | | | | you'll be missing a lot of fun experience |
| | | | with your tv. |
