Getting a HDTV flat screen TV that fits your budget and gives you value for your money can be a tricky task, but it can also be extremely worth it as you watch your favorite movie with crisp sound and clear picture. So, how do you buy a HDTV flat screen TV that is worth the cost and will last for a long time? The truth is that there is no way to know for sure how valuable your flat screen TV will end up being or how long it will last, but you can shop smart and make good decisions with your purchasing power.
The first thing you need to know is that there is a difference between plasma TV sets and LCD screens. Both are featured with HDTV flat screen TV technology and both are rather thin and flat, making them easy to place anywhere in your home, but they feature two different technologies. Your HDTV flat screen TV comes in two different types: plasma and LCD. There is no such thing as a plasma LCD TV.
All plasma televisions are widescreen, with an aspect ratio of 16:9. This is the standard ratio for a HDTV flat screen TV. Virtually every plasma version of a flat screen TV will be high definition ready. The majority of plasma television screens range from 42 inches to 63 inches, but there are both larger and smaller versions available.
LCD televisions tend to be smaller, anywhere from 15 inches to 65 inches. The smaller LCD screens are often utilized as computer monitors. The LCD HDTV flat screen TV is actually lower in price than plasma when you're dealing with the average size of display for the screen, but the larger LCD screens can be significantly more expensive.
There are some product differences between HDTV flat screen televisions that are plasma and LCD. Some of these differences include:
* LCD televisions have lower contrast levels than plasma televisions, meaning that they have a harder time reproducing dark colors and grays
* LCD televisions have slower response times, sometimes creating blurs during fast-paced action sequences in movies or in sports
* LCD televisions have a narrower viewing angle, but can be easier to view in well-lit rooms
* LCD televisions run cooler than plasma televisions
* Plasma televisions are of lower quality when paying lower prices
There are also other differences between the two television types. The best way to learn the differences is to experience both plasma and LCD HDTV flat screen televisions in a department store or a home electronics store. Sit and watch both television sets, change angles and try to see the TV from the sides. This will give you a better indication as to how the technology works and will help you decide which TV HDTV best suits your tastes.
