How to Select the Right Digital TV Set
Choose a Size: Make sure it fits your room. To get an ideal screen size range: 1. Measure the distance from your TV set to your sitting area. 2. Divide that distance by 2 and then by 3 to get the right screen size range for the room. For example: the distance to the TV set is 7 feet (84 inches). Divide 84 by 2 to get a 42 set. Then divide 84 by 3 to get a 28 set. Your idea TV size range is between 28 to 42.
Choose an Aspect Ratio: (the shape of the TV screen) You can choose between widescreen (16:9) and standard (4:3). Widescreen is the format of the future and most Digital TV sets and almost all HDTV sets are widescreen. Widescreen TV sets can adjust standard content to fill the screen while standard sets show widescreen content in letterbox (with black bars). Choose the Image Quality: HDTV (High Definition TV) is best with 720p and higher
Choose a Display Style: (type of TV set) Flat Panel: Maximum screen size is 100. Nice and thin, it mounts easily to the wall and gives film-like images. It is great for family rooms, bedrooms and tight spaces. Rear Projection: Maximum screen size is 100. They are large screens and give bright pictures. Great for large spaces such as media and recreation rooms. Direct View: Maximum screen size is 34. These have good brightness, contrast and have a good viewing angle. Great for an affordable TV in any room. Front Projector: Maximum screen size is almost unlimited.
Get the Right Number of Inputs and Connections: You will need enough inputs for your existing and future sources. Also recommended is at least one Digital input to ensure future possibilities and multiple High Definition (HD) inputs. Don't forget to buy
