Flat Screen TV - Things You Need to Know Before Buying
Why go flat screen? Flat
screen TVs are not just the trend, they also give you more in terms of
viewing space. Although a 20" flat screen TV may have the same
measurements as the more traditional 'curved' screen TV usually found on CRTs,
the flat screen gives the illusion of extended width and height. Sometimes,
flat screen is just that - flat screen.High-end
television units such as plasma TVs, HDTVs and LCD TVs all feature a flat
screen. Don't just think that because it's a flat screen, it's automatically a
plasma or an LCD.
Thin is a good thing.
When buying a flat screen
TV, look for a unit that is slimmer than the older CRTs. There are brands
such as Philips, for example, that sell flat screen TVs that are thinner than
usual. Thin flat screen TVs are also easier to move and they don't occupy a lot
of space. Plasma or LCD?
To choose from either type of flat
screen TV, consider the following:
Size. If you prefer size, go for plasma.
Resolution and image display. Budget. Regardless of the technology behind
it, a flat screen TV isn't worth your time, effort and money if it can't
deliver a decent picture.
How well you can tolerate a flat screen TV's
performance in these areas will of course depend on your preference, patience
and budget.
If you're the type who looks forward to spending hours and hours on end in
front of the TV, then make sure the flat screen TV you choose won't disappoint.
