Buying a TV can be overwhelming when you begin to see just how many different options are going to be thrown your way. All shapes and sizes, thousands of different features, and then multiple brand names to choose from. You need to have a certain amount of TV knowledge in order to make the right choice. Like the difference between analog and HDTV.
You may run into questions like 'do you need, or do you want, an S-video input'? What about some RCA jacks, do you think you'll need those? And a digital comb filter, is that absolutely necessary? More questions than these can arise when you get into the different types and uses of the today TV. So learning a little about them goes a long way in your decision.
Do you buy into the notion that 'bigger is better' when owning a TV? It depends on your situation and of course, the TV. I've seen smaller TVs that make you squint to see them, while huge TVs made everything a blur unless you sat a mile away. You need to keep in mind where you'll place your TV and what size TV that space calls for.
Whenever you shop for TVs and are looking at screens, you should know that size is taken from the diagonal measurement of the screen, not top to bottom. When dealing with a flat-bottom TV you don't need as much room as with, say, a rear-projection CRT. The flat panel can be hung on the wall and furniture layout doesn't factor in as much.
With a screen that's over 40 inches, it's worth looking into a rear-projection CRT. This takes the concept of a projector and adds it to a screen for a one-two punch of a picture. The image gets projected onto the screen, which is then viewed from in front by you.
The CRT type TV utilizes three cathode ray tubes for combining it's main hues of red, green, and blue. These types of TVs have been the mainstay of home theaters for many years. They present you with a better investment per dollar, and they always have a great picture with good black level quality.
If there are any drawbacks to the rear-projector CRTs, it's that they're heavy and deep in the back. They also don't perform well under bright lighting. They're hard in the maintenance department and their viewing angle can be quite narrow. But the quality as far as color and picture go is hard to compete with.
With the flat panel TVs you probably already know how popular they are. Everyone seems to want a flat panel TV. And no wonder, they're compact and large-screened. They have a lot to offer for convenience and quality as well. You can get them in Plasma or LCD. Plasma lights up thousand of teeny tiny lights to illuminate it's picture, while the LCD is more akin to a laptop computer in its projection.
Buying a TV takes some education, but this wall is easily climbed with just a little reading and research. Again, it's the basic differences in how they operate that separate them the most. All the added features then become matters of taste and personal preference. So go prepared when you begin your search, and get the best value for your dollar, and the best quality for your viewing.
