How to choose the right TV

If you are in the market to get a new TV, the first thing you will notice is that there have never been so many options available. It can literally be overwhelming to shop for a television. Not to long ago, shoppers in the market, for a television, had only a few choices to make, while today there is virtually a laundry list. In order to make shopping for a new TV more manageable, there are certain things to keep in mind. Here is what you need to know about how to choose the right TV-

• The first thing to do is to educate yourself on the types of televisions that are in the market. You need to understand what each kind of television does and how they are made. There are basically 3 different types of televisions. These types are-
  1. Rear projection tube TV-This is the most common kind of television, for everyone who is of adult age today. However, this type of TV is not even being produced in mass quantity anymore. You can find this type of television, mostly from private sellers, who are trying to make a few bucks by selling their old TV. The problem with this type of television is that the picture quality is much poorer and they tend to big and bulky (to accommodate the design). While there is not a high demand for this type of television, it can be a good choice if you have a small budget.
  2. Plasma TV's-The main selling point on this type of television is the quality of the picture. In addition, you can find plasma TV's in a number of different sizes. Many users report that this is a good TV to have if you want a theater type experience. This TV works exceptionally well in low light. However, you should keep in mind that this is not a good TV choice, for heavy gaming use, or want a television that can be left on or used heavily. Overall, this type of television is a highly popular choice, for the quality it provides.
  3. LCD-The main selling feature, for an LCD television, is that does come in a variety of sizes. This makes it a good choice to fit into any area of your home or office. Users of LCD televisions also report that they are good for gaming and can stand up to nearly constant use. However, the major downside that is reported with LCD televisions is that the picture quality is lacking, when compared to a plasma television.
• The next step is to decide where you are going to place your television. Your buying decision will be based in large part, as to where you are going to put the TV. You will need to decide if you want a television that hangs on the wall, or sits on a stand. You should also take the time to take measurements before you go shopping. You want to have them written down, so that you don't end up purchasing a television that won't even fit where you have planned to put it.
• It is important to have a budget and stick to it. It can be easy to fall in love with the newest and latest television when you get to the store. However, if the TV is outside of your budget, you could end up with buyer's remorse. It is important to keep in mind that new technology is always being developed. That means that the new hot TV that everyone wants today, will be the first sale item, when the new technology is developed. Don't be afraid to shop around and price compare. You can find great deals if you take the time to find the right TV, for your budget.
