It used to be that buying a new television required little thought. You basically just needed to have in mind what size TV you wanted, and a general price range. And, if you were wanting to buy a home theater system, you still only needed to pick the size of the television to accompany it.
Now, there are more questions surrounding the purchase of a new television. The technology in relation to televisions is constantly evolving, and can seem pretty complicated to a normal consumer. You run the risk of buying something that can be quickly outdated. You now need to think about other things besides the size of the screen. You need to know what kind of applications you will be using your TV for. That can be games, movies or just watching regular TV. Then you need to decide if you should invest in a DVD player that upverts to 1080p or just choose BluRay. All these decisions start after you choose your television.
The first thing to decide is whether to choose plasma or LCD or DLP. There are pros and cons to all three choices. What type of entertainment your household will be partaking in will likely decide which way to go. Plasma TBS have a better contrast between colors, than LCD. Fast moving objects appear clearer with plasma, as well. On an LCD, this will appear as ghosting images. This dilemma is quickly being worked out, as the refresh rate on LCD's is getting faster, almost equaling that of the plasma. The cost of an LCD id less than a plasma TV of equal size. There is less heat emitted with LCD's as well as it being more energy efficient.
Plasma televisions, because of the way they are designed, look best in darker rooms where the colors can be more vivid and clear. LCDs work well in lighted rooms and are a little cheaper and can be in any room of the house. Now for DLP, you have another choice. The image is actually made up of tiny mirrors and the picture quality is nearly as good as plasma or LCD.
DLPs and plasma can be larger and more expensive than the LCD. If you are happy with a smaller TV and want true HD, the LCD is a good choice for you. It is also less expensive, with keeping true to quality. - 30542
