Not so long ago, the cost of buying an LCD TV was prohibitive, and most people who wanted a home theater experience chose a plasma TV instead. However, the cost of them has been dropping lately and it is now possible to get yourself a cheap LCD TV that provides a great viewing experience. If you want to buy a cheap LCD TV, it pays to do a little research before committing to a purchase. As with all types of TVs, there are multiple brands, sizes and options to consider. To make your decision a bit easier, make use of the following tips…
Look online for reviews of each brand - As with all types of electrical goods, the brand you opt for is important. The well known brands are, of course, generally more expensive, but that does not mean that they are the best. If you were pleased with the last brand of TV that you bought then buying an LCD TV from the same manufacturer is a good idea. Alternatively, you can look online for reviews of the best selling TVs by the various manufacturers.
Know what size you want - Before you go out to buy an LCD TV, you need to have a general idea of what size it should be. The size you need is dependent on your budget (smaller TVs cost less) and the distance you sit from your TV and your budget. As a rough guide, if you sit 4 feet from your TV, then a screen size of 30 inches is recommended and if you sit 12 feet from your TV, then a screen size of 50 inches is recommended.
Opt for a good resolution - The resolution of the screen on an LCD TV is the most important factor as far as the quality of the picture is concerned. A large screen with a low resolution will more than likely result in a viewing experience that you are not satisfied with. If your budget means that you have to choose between a high resolution or a big screen, then you should always opt for a high resolution.
