Looking for the best deals on TVs? You are definitely not the only one. People everywhere are looking for great prices for a new TV and that is why I wrote this guide to help find the right TV for you and where to get really good deals.
Getting a new TV is always a fun and exciting family moment!
You see dozens of incredible TV's on display at stores all the time, available in all sizes with astounding picture quality. Many of them are large thin flat-screen TV's and the picture, brightness and color on them are truly beautiful. It's an exciting time to get a new TV for your home. The prices have really come down on many models, making it feasible for many households to get an amazing TV.
How do you pick the right TV for you?
I recently went through the process of researching and shopping for TV's. With so many models, features and confusing terminology, it can be overwhelming to pick the right TV that is best for your home. Here are some important basics that will help you select the best television for you.
Size Matters - One major regret most buyers have is not getting a bigger TV. And with today's HDTV's (High-Definition), you can enjoy larger TV's at closer distances without loss of picture quality.
How big can you go? A simple "rule-of-thumb" is a allowing a minimum viewing distance of 1.5x times the screen size. So for example, to get a 50" screen TV, your room should place you at about 75" away from the TV (about 6.25 feet). The other factor is cost. The price of each model goes up as the screen size gets bigger. So use viewing distance and budget to help guide you to the right TV size for you.
Display Type - There are basically three types of TV's: LCD, LED and Plasma. For most home viewers, any of these types will provide a great picture quality. Here are some factors to consider for each display type.
LCD is the most common display today, and if you need a TV smaller than 42", this is essentially your only choice. LCD displays provide an incredible picture and an added benefit is they are more energy-efficient than plasma TV's.
LED is very similar to LCD, however the backlighting uses "light-emitting diodes" (LED), a ton of little Christmas tree "light bulbs". LED's typically allow for thinner TV 's than LCD, and are marketed to provide a brighter, higher-quality picture using less energy. However the drawback is LED's are more expensive than LCD TV's. The energy savings on LED's compared to LCD's are typically not worth the higher price tag.
Plasma TV's provide the best overall picture, particularly in a dark room environment or when watching TV on an angle (viewing the screen from the side). However Plasma TV's suffer in a brighter room, compared to LCD's. Plasma televisions also consume much more power and electricity than LCD's.
Inputs - The next very important factor is making sure the TV will support all your current gear, like your cable box, DVD players, stereo and game systems. List out everything that will be connected to your TV, and make sure the TV has all your required "inputs".
For example, you want to make sure the TV has enough HDMI inputs for your cable or satellite box, XBOX or PS3 and BlueRay DVD player. Of if you have older equipment that uses component video or standard yellow video connections, you want to make sure your new TV has enough of those inputs as well.
So how do you find the TV you want on Sale?
There are dozens of stores that sell TV's online. Some of them run discounts and coupons and some of them simply have low prices. A few offer free shipping, which is a big money-saver when buying online. There are also sites that will provide a list of stores comparing prices on TV's.
