LCD TV Buying Guide

Not so long ago, the cost of buying an LCD TV was prohibitive, and most people who wanted a home theater experience chose a plasma TV instead. However, the cost of them has been dropping lately and it is now possible to get yourself a cheap LCD TV that provides a great viewing experience. If you want to buy a cheap LCD TV, it pays to do a little research before committing to a purchase. As with all types of TVs, there are multiple brands, sizes and options to consider. To make your decision a bit easier, make use of the following tips…

Find out a bit about each brand -There are many different companies that make LCD TVs and some are known to be better than others. The most famous brands are not always the best value for money, so it is worth finding out a bit about each brand’s reputation in relation to LCD TVs. You can do this by simply typing the name of a brand followed by ‘LCD TV review’ into a search engine and reading what people have been saying about them.

Decide what screen size you need first -People are often tempted to just go for the biggest screen size possible, but that is not always the best way. The reason being that how near or far you sit from your TV is an important factor to consider. If you have a small living room, then a huge TV is really not necessary, as you will be sitting too close to it to get the optimal viewing experience. If you normally sit around 4 feet from your TV, then a screen size of around 30 inches is best, and if you normally sit 12 feet from your screen, then a 50 inch screen is recommended.

Only get a high resolution one -You should look for an LCD TV that has a screen resolution of at least 1024×768. Whilst you can certainly watch a TV with a lower resolution, you will probably not be completely satisfied. A mistake that many people make is to pay extra for a big screen size whilst totally forgetting about the screen resolution. You are much better off getting a smaller TV with a high resolution then a big TV with a low resolution.
