Buying an HDTV: What You Need to Know ( -at -) TheTechLounge

Quote:

"Walk into your local electronics emporium and look at the wall of

screens. It's a beautiful sight. All of the displays look so

wonderful, but where do you start? What do you need to know to find

your perfect high-def match? Purchasing your first HDTV can be a

daunting task if you aren't armed with the proper information when you

enter the carnivorous den of your local electronics superstore. There

are a couple of areas I'd like to focus on in this guide. The first

thing to consider is the type of TV, and which is best suited to your

viewing environment. This consists of the physical space the TV will

occupy and any devices you plan to use with it will weigh heavily on

your decision. Also important are the features and specifications that

a new TV can offer. Buzzwords like 1080p, contrast ratio, HDMI, and

120Hz will be thrown at you as soon as you strike up a dialogue with a

salesperson (or as they stalk you up and down the aisles). With a

little preparation, you can be an informed consumer with the power to

overcome jargon-filled sales pitches and, in the end, make the right

decision for you."
