Factors To Consider When Buying An HDTV

By Craig Harris

For choosing the best model easily, do a little research before visiting local stores. Here are some hints on how to make the ideal selection.

Size:

When it comes to choosing the size of your new HDTV, you should first consider where it is going to be placed in your home and how much room you will have. If you are going to use HDTV for your computer (model 26-34 inch) you should ensure that there is a distance of about four feet from the monitor. If that doesn't work, you may want to buy a smaller one.

The HDTV must be bought according to the size of your living room, so size selection is a very crucial part of purchasing a HDTV. If you can keep about six feet distance from the screen then you can buy 42-50 inches model. You can consider getting a larger 55-65 inch model, if you have 7 or 8 feet in distance.

Image quality:

Make sure to get a 1080p model, if you plan to watch a lot of HD movies on your new TV. If you are not able to buy a expensive model you can get a 720p model since it is less expensive The high-resolution is really awesome when you are watching either HD or Blu-ray movies, and you can easily see the positive difference.

LCD or Plasma:

LCD HDTVs consumer less power, is lighter and smaller than most plasma HDTVs. When it comes to image quality though, plasma HDTV wins hands down. I say that it is worth every penny, even if it is little more expensive. Plasma HDTVs are best used in dimmer lighting conditions. If you are planning to get a HDTV to display in a bright area, a LCD HDTV is far better.

Brand choice:

This is often the toughest decision when it comes to buying a HDTV as each brands have their own set of unique features. Samsung and Sony are the top manufacturers of good quality LCD HDTV's in the market. If you plan to get a plasma TV, Panasonic models are a good way to go. A Pioneer plasma model is a good one to have if you have a lot of money.
