It’s Time to Buy a Big Screen Television
Now that football season has begun, the small television set in the family room just won’t do. With plenty of ads in the circular every weekend, it is hard to resist the urge of a nice big TV set. Here are some of your options.
First things first; Do you have the room for a large TV set? If you’re living in a small apartment or your rooms are oddly shaped you might be doing yourself a disservice. Make sure the television you buy is the right size. A rule of thumb is for a 60 inch screen, the closest distance is around seven feet.
There are four types of TV’s: Your basic Cathode Ray Tube TV, which delivers bright pictures, are reliable but can be boxy and take up space. Plasma screen TV’s are super thin at only inches wide apiece. They produce picture with the use of special gases. They can be hung on a wall saving valuable space, but are still pricey. However the prices have been dropping. LCD’s TV’s are extremely similar to flat screen computer monitors. Liquid crystal Displays are extremely thin, but can become very costly at large screen sizes. Although they deliver a great picture, viewing at angles can sometimes lower the quality of the picture. The last type of TV is Rear Projection which can be just as bulky as CRT, but recent designs offer slimmer, stylish models. The picture quality can be good, but may not be bright enough in a very sunny room.
So take a look at the type of TV that fits your room, specifications and budget and you’ll be on your way to enjoying the next big game.
