Shopping for a TV these days really is not what it used to be. In the old days, all I had to do was find out how big television your neighbor next door was, then go to Sears and buy one from a few inches larger. Now, with HDTV technology exploding in all directions, you need a deeper understanding of the options available before deciding what to get. It need not be intimidating, but if it breaks the decision process down in a few steps.

First, suppose you want the latest rate and larger television, and that being an HDTV (Televisión High Definition). The main factors to consider when choosing a HDTV are:

• Budget Range
• Screen Size
• Exposing Technology (plasma, LCD or DLP)
• Image quality and resolution
• Problems known

Budget Range

HDTV Prices are linked to each factor in the above list, but the size of the screen and display technology tend to have the strongest influence. Here's an idea of what to expect at different price ranges (in U.S. $):

Less than $ 500: 24-inch LCD screen smaller, HD-ready (no tuner) HDTV. Some brands of the economy such as Vizio, ViewSonic and Olevia, could offer packages as large as 32 inches for under $ 500 on special offer.

$ 500 to $ 1000: 42-inch and smaller LCD HDTVs, the marks of the economy and middle-marks of the road, such as Sharp, JVC and Toshiba. 42 inches and smaller Samsung 720p LCD. 37 and 40 plasmas inch long model as they are from last year. Toshiba, Sharp, LG and trademarks of the economy offer some 1080p HDTVs in this price range.

From $ 1000 to $ 1500: 46-inch and smaller LCD screens, including some models of Sharp Aquos and some Samsung 1080p HDTV, if for sale. 42 inches and smaller plasmas. 57-inch and smaller DLP HDTV.

$ 1500 to $ 2500: 52-inch and smaller screens LCD, including the previous generation of Sony Bravia and most
current generation of Samsung 1080p LCD. 50-inch HDTVs smaller plasma. 73 inches and smaller DLP HDTV.

Over $ 2500: Everything else … the latest and greatest. 56-inch Sony Bravia LCD, Panasonic huge plasmas from Pioneer, and more.

Screen Size

The choice of HDTV right size is more important than what it seems. Too small, and will have no television experience immersion're looking for, too big and be disappointed by the imperfections you can see in the image.

Look in the area where you are watching television, and estimate the average distance from a viewer will be sitting on the screen. For the best experience, viewing distance should be 2 to 4 times the diagonal of the screen. For example, a set of 50 inches is best viewed from 100 or 200 inches, or 8 to 16 feet away.

Display technology

The most common types of HDTV flat panel LCD, Plasma and DLP. They are quite thin and a reasonable price. Projection and HDTV CRT are there too, but the size and cost them out of most people of radar.

LCD means Liquid Crystal Display, and is the same type of screen used in computer monitors newer (likely staring at a screen LCD at the moment), cell phones, and many other devices. LCD works best when you want a medium or small group, you need a lightweight set of weight, or watching television in a well-lit room.

Plasma have a glass screen (unlike the plastic LCD) with an ionized gas inserted behind it that creates an image when excited by electric charges. Plasmas have a marked advantage over LCD in picture quality, especially when viewed from an angle, but may have reflexes screen in bright light.

DLP stands for Digital Light Processing. These sets use oscillating small mirrors behind the screen to create a picture. Set DLP are technically rear projection televisions, but are usually quite flat. They are cheaper than LCD and plasma in large sizes, but often are too heavy and thick to hang on the wall.

Picture quality and resolution

If we compare two high-definition TVs which are the same size and type of display, but they have price tags very different, the reason is probably the image quality and resolution. Low games end tend to have a contrast ratio of poor (the difference between the image darker and brighter than can be shown), poor black levels (there are scenes totally black in black?), and the colors inaccurate. Lines Other problems with economic groups may include motion blur, ghosting (just what it sounds-the echoes of the images), and bands (horizontal or vertical that appear on the screen for no reason).

Resolution is the number of small dots that TV used to take a picture, and has a direct effect on the sharpness. It comes in two levels, 720p and 1080p. 1080p is the highest resolution, and is really only necessary if your HDTV is bigger than about 45 inches, or if you intend to use it as a computer monitor.

Known Issues

Make an HDTV with a perfect image is something very hard to do. There are dozens of problems that may arise, such as the aforementioned banding and ghosting, and you really need a cream-of-the-crop establish reliably avoid them. Low-end HDTV responsible for making some sets of high quality, of course, but in the models again, there is usually an item or two that has not been fully clarified. That is the disadvantage of being an early adopter. Fortunately, these subjects are exposed on the Internet immediately, buyers what the potential can wait until they have been treated.
