It used to be that buying a new television required little thought. You basically just needed to have in mind what size TV you wanted, and a general price range. And, if you were wanting to buy a home theater system, you still only needed to pick the size of the television to accompany it.
These days, the questions are a little more complicated because the technology is so much more complicated and changes so quickly, that making a wrong choice can leave you with a product that does not do what you want and is obsolete almost immediately. There are so many choices, not just screen size. What kind of entertainment do you prefer, just television or movies or games. Should you buy a DVD that up converts to 1080p or go for the BluRay. Is the BluRay the Laserdisc of the new century? These are questions that cant even be decided until you pick out a TV.
Choosing between plasma and LCD or DLP is where you will normally begin. There are good and bad about both. It also depends on how you will be watching your TV. What kind of entertainment value you want out of it. If you are gaming and watching movies, that will mean you want a better quality TV. Plasma has higher contrasts between colors when compared to LCD. It also provides clearer picture in regards to quick moving objects. The same image can have a ghosting effect on an LCD. The kinks are being worked out of this fairly quickly, as the LCD is getting a better refresh rate that is rivaling the plasmas.LCD tvs are relatively less expensive than a plasma the same size.
In a darker room, plasma will look better. It has more vivid colors. If you will be watching TV in a lighter room, LCD's work great. This allows the TV to be placed in any room of the house. DLP offers yet another choice. The image of DLPs are made up of tiny mirrors and the picture can be as good as the plasma or the LCD.
DLPs and plasma can be larger and more expensive than the LCD. If you are happy with a smaller TV and want true HD, the LCD is a good choice for you. It is also less expensive, with keeping true to quality.
