I want a larger screen and so do you.
There is absolutely no reason for this
wanting except for the feeling of power
that a large screen gives you. I have
no idea why it is, but we all seem to
want a larger screen for our TVs these
days. The question is, how to get a good
deal on an LCD TV without paying a fortune.
Let's give you our top 3 tips on buying
an LCD TV.
1)Don't buy a used one if you don't have
to. The funny thing about these TVs is
that their prices drop significantly every
month and that if you just wait a little
longer, the price you'll pay for a new
TV is probably not going to be too far
off from the price that you are going
to pay for a used one. A little patience
might actually save you some dollars here.
2)Compare features, not just prices.
One of our favorite places to go to compare
prices on LCD Tvs is ConsumerReports.org.
Consumer Reports was rating different
items way before the internet even become
popular. Remember buying your first real
car? I do. And I went straight to Consumer
Reports to find out that the Honda Accord
was the car to buy (and still is according
to CR). Shopping for a high end LCD Tv
shouldn't be any different than shopping
for a new car. All the resources are at
your disposal, so give it a try. I'm sure
you can find some gems of information
at CR regarding your LCD Tv purchase.
3)HD is coming, don't miss out. High
definition television has allegedly been
"right around the corner" for years. Well,
that time may finally have arrived. Some
LCD Tvs come HD ready and some do not.
Make sure your new LCD TV supports HD
so that when it is finally popularized,
you can watch the programs utilizing this
latest technology.
And by the way, why would someone want
to buy an LCD TV over a "Plasma". And
what is a plasma? Are they different than
LCDs? Basically yes. The big difference
is that they use different technologies
to deliver a picture. Both have pros and
cons. However, both deliver a large screen
experience to the user.
