Buying a TV can be fun or problematic depending on how you take it. If you look at it, maybe you all know how to buy a TV. You just need to look at some advertisement, get the best rates, go to the dealer and just buy one. However, when it comes to really doing it practically, it's a little different than that. So let's go over some important points that need to be taken care of while buying TV.
Technology advances by the day, so make sure your set is capable of supporting the latest media players and formats prevalent in the market at that point of time. No use getting a set that can become outdated soon after its purchase. Suppose your set supports CD's and DVD's but can do nothing with BLU-RAY or HD DVD, it can be termed obsolete in a few days time. All the money spent will be of no use. If you are not well versed with latest trends consult someone with good knowledge about electronic gadgets to help you in your purchase.
Keep in mind the d?cor of your room. TV is no longer considered an electronic equipment to be sidelined and kept in a corner. It should merge in with the various other decorative articles kept to add beauty to your living room. In fact when planning a room's lay out, modern designers make a provision for the TV. Better to go for a slimmer version which will blend in with the walls and other furniture.
With the increase in craze for the HDTV's everyone is buying one just because they can afford it. This is as very wrong as there needs to be proper viewing space between the TV and the viewer to get the best visual experience. Only when there is proper viewing space opt for a plasma TV or giant screen TV in your living room, else you will be wasting money and won't even get to feel what you paid for.
Pay special attention to the sound clarity. You should not undermine this quality giving all priority to the picture perfection alone. Check out the speakers. Presently, TV is also considered as a music device. It is part of a Home entertainment System which almost every house invests in. Your TV should be able to support the latest audio formats in trend. The remote being one of the most frequently handled piece in a house, should be easily controllable and user friendly. Let it not control you! Now a day's Universal remotes are widely in use. In this case a number of electronic gadgets can be controlled with a single remote. So why not opt for one like that?.
Okay this sounds like a real trivial one, but you'll only feel the impact when you're faced with it. When you go to buy a TV, and if you are planning to take your TV home with you, don't forget to make sure that your vehicle can carry it. A small car, for example, wouldn't be able to carry more than a 25-inch TV set. Most stores have provision for free home delivery for large TVs. It's always advisable to check with your showroom representative and take advantage of it.
The most basic feature of a TV is its picture quality and that is the one that has to be most well researched. Picture quality of a TV is determined by several factors and one of them is how dark is the picture tube or the surface of screen. If you are a non-technical buyer, you can just keep in mind that TVs that have dark screen when turned off like the Sony Bravia KDL37W5500 are able to produce better pictures with high contrast. Also, always go for as flat a screen as you can, as you'll get less glare from it.
Last but not the least make sure that you have a look at the remote of the TV you are buying. Make sure it is easy to use by all the people in the house. Everyone will be using it. - 29967
