Buying a TV requires some knowledge about the difference in TVs. There are literally hundreds of new types and brand names, different shapes, multiple sizes, and thousands of features and accessories to choose from. You should at least have a working knowledge of the difference in the basic functions before going off on a TV shopping adventure.
Other points of knowledge would be whether or not you need S-video inputs or RCA jacks in the front. Take the digital comb filter, do you need one and does this TV have one? Do any of these things really make a difference in your movie and sports viewing? These are just a couple of the many questions that will arise whenever you go shopping for a TV.
Do you buy into the notion that 'bigger is better' when owning a TV? It depends on your situation and of course, the TV. I've seen smaller TVs that make you squint to see them, while huge TVs made everything a blur unless you sat a mile away. You need to keep in mind where you'll place your TV and what size TV that space calls for.
Whenever you shop for TVs and are looking at screens, you should know that size is taken from the diagonal measurement of the screen, not top to bottom. When dealing with a flat-bottom TV you don't need as much room as with, say, a rear-projection CRT. The flat panel can be hung on the wall and furniture layout doesn't factor in as much.
If you're going to shop for one that's at least forty inches or more, then give some consideration to buying a rear-projection CRT. These babies have been the favorite of home theaters for lots of years. They combine the screen with the projector type function for a very good picture.
There are three cathode ray tubes that make up the colors of blue, red, and green that get thrown onto the projection screen. Home theaters have been the biggest advocates of this type of TV. Some of the advantages for you are getting the biggest screen for your money with great picture quality and good black level.
If there are any drawbacks to the rear-projector CRTs, it's that they're heavy and deep in the back. They also don't perform well under bright lighting. They're hard in the maintenance department and their viewing angle can be quite narrow. But the quality as far as color and picture go is hard to compete with.
People everywhere love the concept of the flat panel TV. This is due to their convenience as well as the fact that they take up little space while giving you a large screen. It's a great stride in the area of technology. Whether you get one that's Plasma or LCD you're sure to be content with a flat panel TV.
Buying a TV like the Panasonic TX-L37S10 can be overwhelming, unless you educate yourself a bit and learn about the basic differences in them. Remember this about the plasma TV. It has a higher resolution than the CRTs through the use of digital signals. But some of them can still fall short of displaying the total resolution of an HDTV. That's why they're called enhanced-definition rather than high definition. It pays to do a little research before you shop.
