In the old days, buying a television was pretty simple. You only had two questions to ask yourself. One, how much money do I want to spend and two, how big do I want it. That was pretty much it for most people. Even if you wanted a home theater system, it was just a matter of deciding on how big the TV was going to be.
These days, the questions are a little more complicated because the technology is so much more complicated and changes so quickly, that making a wrong choice can leave you with a product that does not do what you want and is obsolete almost immediately. There are so many choices, not just screen size. What kind of entertainment do you prefer, just television or movies or games. Should you buy a DVD that up converts to 1080p or go for the BluRay. Is the BluRay the Laserdisc of the new century? These are questions that cant even be decided until you pick out a TV.
The first thing to decide is whether to choose plasma or LCD or DLP. There are pros and cons to all three choices. What type of entertainment your household will be partaking in will likely decide which way to go. Plasma TBS have a better contrast between colors, than LCD. Fast moving objects appear clearer with plasma, as well. On an LCD, this will appear as ghosting images. This dilemma is quickly being worked out, as the refresh rate on LCD’s is getting faster, almost equaling that of the plasma. The cost of an LCD id less than a plasma TV of equal size. There is less heat emitted with LCD’s as well as it being more energy efficient.
If you will be enjoying TV in a darker room, plasma will look better. At the same time, in lighter rooms, LCDs work better. Now, add DLP into the mix for even more decision making. DLP is made of tiny mirrors making the picture almost as good as the above mentioned two television types.
DLPs and plasma can be larger and more expensive than the LCD. If you are happy with a smaller TV and want true HD, the LCD is a good choice for you. It is also less expensive, with keeping true to quality.
