Buying A TV Such As The Samsung UE46B7000

By Scott Hoyle

Buying a TV may not be so simple when you look at all the things that need to be taken into account. Many questions need to be asked before committing to a specific TV. Will you need a DVD player with that? Will you take a TV stand or a wall mount? Do you need any specific cables for your setup? And you'll need things like surge protectors, good speakers, and a remote control.

And once you get the decisions made and get your TV home, installation is the next big step. You used to just bring it home, plug it in, and hook up the antenna. Not today. There's so much involved in installing a TV now that many opt for getting it done professionally. Of course, this takes more cash out of pocket. But many find it a small price to pay when weighed against the option of doing it themselves.

Big-screen TVs are the trend of today. With movies at your fingertips and gaming happening across the country, the TV is the center for entertainment, and a big screen has much appeal. But when shopping for your TV, you must always keep in mind the relation of the viewing room to the size of your screen. You don't want to be sitting on the couch squinting, nor do you want to be seeing a big blur from a screen that's too big.

If you have a favorite brand, and have had for years, you need to go TV shopping with an open mind. Many new companies have put out some great new TVs, and you'll need to be open to what they have to offer if you're serious about getting the best TV for personal needs. The options are plentiful, and you can find some really great TVs with names on them you hadn't thought of a decade ago.

There are two very important considerations that you need to settle before you begin shopping for your TV. The first is to know exactly what you need from it, whether casual viewing or gaming, or recording, or sports. The second is just how much money you're ready to spend on your new TV. Once you have these answered then you can shop without having to filter through hundreds of different models and makes that don't suit your needs in the first place. It will save you time.

IF you're shopping for a high-definition TV, then you're getting one with a higher resolution than the standard TVs. These pictures are very crisp and sharp, with great clarity and color. The high definition TV is going to give you a choice of either 'Plasma' or 'LCD'. The plasma is the more superior picture, but so is the price.

You'll want to decide what type of signal your TV will receive. Some are on the antenna signal, but many are on cable, or even digital cable. While others have opted for the deep dish satellite signals along with the numerous channels that come with it. The TV you decide on should be ready to receive whatever signal you're going to be using.

So by now you have an idea that buying a TV takes some modern day knowledge due to the new technologies available in this area. But it's not hard to learn about them, and it pays to be armed with some of this knowledge before you run out and make a purchase of a set like the Samsung UE46B7000. Gone are the days when the choice was either buy a EMI, HMV, or Philips. Your options are numerous and TVs are not just TVs any more, but entertainment systems for your home and family. - 30542
