When you go to purchase a new television there are a few important points for you to consider. The most important choice is between LCD, LED or Plasma for the screen. Each of these has it strengths and weaknesses so choose the screen which fits your viewing habits the best.
Two different resolution levels of HDTV are currently being manufactured. The two levels of screen resolution are 720p and 1080p. As you research the individual televisions you must check which resolution level they can play. The correct specification for a Full HD TV playing 1080p is HD Ready 1080p and for a 720p set the correct spec is HD Ready.
The pixel sizes of these two resolutions are 1366 x 768 and 1920 x 1080. The main difference is that 1080p is Full HD. This is the highest resolution and is used by Blu-ray, games consoles and some content such as movie trailers you may download from the web. TV programmes in HD are broadcast in the lower resolution of 720p. If your viewing will mainly consist of watching TV programmes then you will be fine with a 720p flat screen. If you wish to use a HD disk player which outputs at 1080p or a PS3 for example then you may wish to opt for a 1080p set.
Another important consideration is your finances as a higher res TV is going to cost you more money. Be aware that the distance from TV to the viewing area and the screen size are relevant too. If you sit further away from your television for example then you will see no difference in the higher definition set.
A 32 inch LCD Samsung TV would be a very popular choice as this is one of the most sought after LCD sizes. Plasma TV’s are not made in the 32 inch screen size and the LCD screens offer good value as an LED will be the most costly type. If you want a Plasma screen TV then you will be looking at a minimum screen size of 37 inches.
Budget conscious shoppers can buy a 32 inch LCD display for a very cheap price these days making them a really great deal. If you have more to spend and you are looking for a really large TV then you can get some excellent 50 inch Plasma screens from between £600 – £700, which is a really great price!
