10 Tips on How to Buy a Hdtv Makes it Easier to Decide on the Best HDTV to Buy

Since a HDTV is not as expensive as a while back, more and more
consumers spend their money towards the latest wide screen craze
- a high definition (HD) flat screen television. More and more
people are becoming aware of the terms LCD, HDTV and Plasma and
for especially the younger working generation the main question
is not if they will spend hard earned cash towards a HDTV of
choice but when they will spend it.

1. Realize that your HDTV purchase will give you a product that
should under normal circumstances last up to 20 - 30 years.
Rather buy a HDTV tv of higher quality so that it will not be
outdated within 10 years.

2. Realize that technology products are becoming cheaper than
ever to manufacture and that the market response drives the
prices down at a phenomenal rate. Buying the more expensive
model may not be the best HDTV to buy.

3. Realize that you may suffer severely from self-inflicted
injuries kicking yourself afterwards if you have not taken the
time (about 2 minutes) to learn what makes one HDTV better than
the next one.

4. Know the difference between the main types of tv screens:
CTR, LCD and Plasma and each of their advantages and
disadvantages.

5. Know that the higher the resolution of a television screen
the most likely the quality of the display may be better than a
HDTV with a lower screen resolution.

6. Know that the television screen is made up of tiny particles
that display color. These particles are calls pixels. The more
pixels fitted into a screen, the higher the resolution.

7. Know that there were major technological advances made
towards the way that the tv screen manages the pixel colors to
create better flowing movements. Choosing an older type may make
your "new" tv age faster and you may have to replace it earlier
than you might have expected to.

8. Know the latest display type, called a progressive scan type
as well as that "interlaced" refers to earlier technology. Of
these a number of 1080i would refer to the term “interlaced” and
1080p would refer to a "progressive scan" television.

9. Know that a bigger screen size not always refer to a better
television. Other than knowing the effect of screen resolution
on your budget, you will become aware of the fact that bigger
costs more but does not necessarily means better picture detail.
Just a quick warning - do not put a very large screen in a small
room. The larger the screen the further you have to sit from it.

10. A higher Color-depth constitutes a wider assortment of
colors that can be displayed. The more the merrier. A 2-million
pixel resolution is a minimum I would recommend.

Considering both the fact of the risk you are taking if you buy
the first HDTV that you see (because you may fall in love with
it), and the fact that the prices are coming down the longer you
wait, then ultimately you are safer waiting but then if you
never make the decision you may loose out on the experience of
HDTV.
