User Tips for Big Screen TVs
There are lots of options when it comes to big screen TVs. With
choices such as HDTV, plasma flat panel and LCD flat panel - not to
mention rear projection TVs now featuring DLP and LCD technology -
you could end up scratching your head, wondering which type and size
suit you best.
If you love DVD movies, or want to keep up with the latest technology,
you want a widescreen TV. Widescreens closely match the sizing of a
movie theatre screen. HDTV programs are increasingly being
broadcast, and one requirement of an HDTV signal is for it to be in
widescreen format. Of course, you can still enjoy non-widescreen
programs as well.
The next decision you have to make is the type of screen you want.
Plasma and LCD flat panel TVs are thin, light, and wall mountable.
Rear projection TVs are bulkier and take up more room than a plasma
or LCD, but generally cost less. However, by integrating LCD and DLP
technologies into new models, manufacturers are able to reduce the
overall size and weight of projection TVs. These sets also deliver
an incredible picture that you have to see to believe.
Screen size is another factor to consider when looking for a big
screen TV. A big screen TV should be sized to fit your room.
However, with most big screens now offering digital technology
(HDTV), your biggest restriction is your room size. You can now sit
a lot closer to your big screen TV as you no longer see the scanning
lines or obvious pixels like you used to with older analogue TVs. If
it fits, you'll love it. The bigger the screen, the more lifelike
your movies will feel.
Another point to consider is the viewing distance of your widescreen
television. The viewing distance is the distance between you and
your television. For screens starting at 32" the recommended viewing
distance is 5'. For larger screens, such as a 65", the recommended
viewing distance is 11'. Even the larger screens can
be comfortably viewed in an average sized room.
As you can see, there are several options available to you when it
comes to choosing a big screen TV. Armed with the proper
information, you are sure to find a set that caters to your viewing
preferences, room size, and budget. So redefine your home
entertainment with the big screen TV that's right for you.
