Choosing a television these days isn’t as simple as it used to be. The more research you do, the better chance you have of finding a TV that suits your needs at a price you can afford. The latest technologies have created a wide range of features and an even wider range of pricing in today’s TV market.

I just recently purchased a new TV and you might benefit from my experience. In my instance I was using an older, low quality 58″ Plasma TV and wanted to upgrade to better quality without going to a much smaller TV and stay within my budget. My budget was $1600 and there are plenty of decent TV’s available in that price range. I Really liked the Sony 52″ KDL-52VL150 and would have purchased it at Costco but I was so used to the large size of my previous 58″ plasma I wanted to find something larger.

Once I saw the Vizio 55″ LED Backlit LCD HDTV I knew I had to get it even though it was a few hundred more than I wanted to spend it was clearly worth it. The difference in quality from my 58″ Plasma to my new 55″ LED Vizio is the same as the difference between Standard Definition and my old plasma in my opinion. If you are thinking about upgrading your TV, now may be the time since there are many new features available on the Vizio 55″ TRULED TV.

The LED backlight is truly amazing and creates an impressive amount of contrast using smart dimming which controls 80 individual blocks of LED’s. The 240hz SPS is not a true 240hz refresh but the motion is the most noticeable improvement over my last TV. 240hz SPS Combined with 1080P resolution creates a picture that is absolutely unreal or should I say absolutely “real”. If you are in the market for a new TV do yourself a favor and give the Vizio 55″ TRULED TV a look. I think you will be impressed.

Design: Following Samsung’s Touch of Color scheme the Samsung LN55B650 is glossy black with a red fade along the edges of the frame that become black as it reaches the screen. The whole frame leads down in a V-shape towards the glass-topped stand below it that can swivel.

Specifications: Featuring a 55 inch screen with a Dynamic Contrast Ratio of 100000:1 and a 120Hz refresh rate, the Samsung LN55B650 offers up to 1080p Full HD video quality viewing. The set uses Samsung’s Auto Motion Plus de-judder processing enabling blur reduction and judder control. Connection-wise the LCD HDTV offers three HDMI ports, two component-video inputs, one VGA D-SUB input, one RF input for cable and satellite, an Ethernet (LAN) port, one stereo analog and one optical digital audio output. A side panel offers another HDMI port, two USB ports and one AV input with composite-video.

Features & Performance: Utilizing the same menu system and remote control as its predecessor, the Samsung LN55B650 is easy to use and navigate. The set offers Yahoo widgets for a variety of options including stocks, news, videos, games and Twitter, that appear in a banner along the bottom of the screen. Through the Internet connection you can stream videos, photos and music from DLNA-certified devices as well as from the USB ports.

Controls were abundant with picture tweaks, four adjustable picture modes, five color temperature presets, white balance, three levels of noise reduction, a seven-position gamma control and a dynamic contrast control. Performance-wise the LCD HDTV delivers accurate color in bright scenes with no over-scan for 1080i or 1080p movies and video. Black level depth was good with very smooth performance due to the adjustable de-judder processing.

The LCD HDTV does very well with standard definition sources, resolving every line effectively while PC performance was equally impressive at 1920×1080 with no over-scan or edge enhancement. All in all, the Samsung LN55B650 is a very good 55 inch LCD HDTV for the mid-range user with impressive performance that should give some of the more expensive models a run for their money.

When choosing an HDTV there are quite a few things to consider before buying. Some of the biggest things to look at are image quality, and cost. The Samsung PN50A550 scores well in both areas. It is also important to look at the brand and its history. Samsung has been a very respect TV maker for many years and is one of the best in my opinion, so that definitely gives more to this television.

First is image quality. All TVs have a maximum resolution that they can display, this particular TV can display 1080p resolution, or full HD. There is no higher resolution available from any TV right now so obviously this is the best the market has to offer. Not only is this HDTV capable of the highest resolution available, but it also has some of the most accurate colors of any HDTV.

Some other important things to include are all the additional features included with a TV. This particular TV includes multiple input types, making it easy to connect anything you want to your TV. This TV has 2 full sets of component inputs, which are great for video game systems or DVD players. It also includes 3HDMI inputs which are also great for DVD players, cable boxes, and other accessories. There are also quite a few standard connectors present on this, and all TVs.

One of the biggest downfalls of this TV is the screen reflectivity. Although Samsung says this TV includes their “Filter Bright Anti Reflective Technology” it still has quite a bit of screen glare. Obviously there are times when this can be a really big downfall, while at other times it might not even be noticeable. As well as glare issues this TV has trouble with providing full, deep dark colors. This TV does have a high contrast ratio, making the dark colors better than most other plasma TVs, but it is far from the best.

Perhaps the biggest thing to consider with this TV is that it is a plasma HDTV rather than an LCD. Plasma TVs are slightly older technology, though they do still provide some of the best image quality of all TVs. Because it is a plasma screen it does have many advantages, such as better viewing angles and more color depth, though it also has disadvantages like possibly shorter lifespan and more power usage.

Overall the Samsung PN50A550 is a great television, so it all just comes down to price. This TV usually sells around $1,700-$2,100 making it competitive in prices for both LCD and Plasma screens of the same size. Obviously each TV will have its own set of good and bad features, and it is important to look at all aspects before buying. Taking all aspects of this TV into perspective the price is very good for what it offers and I would give this TV a 8/10 based on performance and price. If it wasn’t for the glare issues this TV would be almost perfect, and for the price, you just can’t beat this TV.

Finally! A great alternative to Toshiba’s LCD/DVD player combos. For those of you who are familiar with these HDTV models, there were not many great alternatives to the Toshiba LV series for a long time now. Because of that I was high in anticipation for the release of the 22-inch Sharp LC22DV27UT.

After using it for a couple of weeks, I realized that the Sharp LC22DV27UT was more than just a great alternative. For starters, I was very grateful for the great audio output. The audio was powerful enough that I did not need to hook it up with any external speakers (I use it in my home office which is a small room).

The Sharp LC22DV27UT can play HD videos a 720p and 16:9 image ratio. It has a 60Hz refresh rate and a 5ms response time. Connectivity wise, this model comes with a HDMI output, a VGA output, a host of audio jacks among other things. This TV may not compare well to many large, high-end HDTV models but it does play HD movies pretty well. While playing DVDs on it, the images were vibrant and sharp. It also has a large array of settings where you can tweak it to your heart’s content.

Looks, wise, the Sharp LC22DV27UT sports a mute and modern look. The front mostly has a glossy black finish with the speaker bar located below the screen. The DVD unit is hidden away behind the unit (of course) where the slot is located towards the right side of the screen. Overall, the 22-inch Sharp LC22DV27UT has proven to be an excellent choice for casual use in small spaces such as your bedroom, kitchen, office or showroom. Its great pricing coupled with good performance and feature set has propelled it to the top of the bestseller’s list for this category. At the time of writing, it is selling for just around $279 per unit.

Gone are the days of cathode ray tubes. This is because there are better models now that are clearer and thinner in the market. One particular example is the LCD HDTV. If you don’t know how to buy one, this article should point you in the right direction.

LCD HDTVs come in different sizes. The smallest is 15 inches and the widest is 46 inches. If you plan to buy one that is 30 inches or smaller, the price is relative to that of conventional televisions so it is best to buy something bigger.

If you do that, keep in mind that the LCD HD television is selling for almost the same price as a Plasma television.

Since the LCD HDTV does not take up that much space, this can be set up anywhere in the house. But again, you have to choose the correct size that fits your viewing environment. The best way to do that is to measure the area diagonally. This can only work if your model is bottom-mounted, hidden or comes with removable speakers.

But screen size should not be the deciding factor as to which brand you will buy from the store. You should also pay attention to the contrast ratio as this will tell you brightest and darkest light values a display can produce at the same time. If the contrast is high, then this means that the television is worth buying.

Apart from contrast ratio, you should also pay attention to the aspect ratio which describes the relationship of screen width to screen height. The higher it is the better. In fact, this is the trend these days as it will make the show you are watching much clearer on a wide screen format.

Naturally, you want a television that can play video in various formats. This allows you to plug in your video camera even if it is 3 or 4 years old and don’t have time yet to buy a new one that has new features.

Another thing your LCD HDTV must have are USB ports so that you can also upload stuff without the use of a plug. Before you buy the unit, make sure you know what the ports can do because this is different for each brand.

HDTV’s need to get a signal and you can get this from an antenna, cable or satellite. If you don’t have a built in tuner, you need to find out what accessories you need to make it work so this can be setup and working once you bring this home.

LCD HDTV’s cost a lot of money so you have to know what to look for when you are out shopping. While you are at the store, compare everything that we talked about including the price. If possible try to see how the television performs when a dark scene is being played. Since this might be the unit you will bring home, familiarize yourself with the remote and the other aspects so you won’t have any problems.

The LCD HDTV is worth buying. In the end, it is up to you which one you will get which is dependent on different factors but the most important one happens to be how much you have in your wallet.

Samsung has always been a leading innovator when it comes to televisions. From technologically advanced TV sets to simple ones, it has always been at the forefront of the industry. Every time the words high def TV or LCD is mentioned Samsung is the first name that comes to mind. It only goes to show how popular the brand is. To me, it epitomizes crystal clear display.

It has paved the way for its competitors. Check the Samsung UN55C8000 55-Inch 1080p 240 Hz 3D LED HDTV. It has garnered several awards since it was launched. It is actually included in the list of top rated HDTVs in the year 2010. Be forewarned though that just like any other TV it has its good points and bad ones, or should I say areas that still need improvement.

It’s sleek design and shiny, elegant black color is something fashionistas will approve of and love. It will easily fit in any room. Your room won’t look cluttered or overcrowded after you set it up. More space for your aesthetic pursuits.

The TV’s visual performance is above average. The vibrant colors will surely make your screen look alive. Blues are blue, reds are red, and colors are exactly how they look in real life. It’s like watching the real thing and not just an image on your screen.

Deep black performance has always been the bane of HDTVs. Sadly this TV is not an exception to that. When this is impaired the dark colors will become brighter and it will affect the overall color contrast. You will surely notice that something is amiss with the display. Designers are yet to find a permanent fix for this. So consumers will just have to put up with this for the meantime.

It has auto dim capacity which unfortunately cannot be disabled. It is a feature which you will just have to live with. This is something that’s negligible. I’m sure when you start using the TV you’ll barely notice this. As I’ve mentioned earlier this TV is not yet perfect, there are still some aspects of the design that needs improvement, but to be fair to the designers though they did a pretty good job. Now let’s focus our attention back to what’s great with this TV.

It supports format that enables you to play high definition shows. This is essential because more and more devices are now veered towards high def. More and more customers are replacing their current TV sets. There will come a time when all networks will broadcast nothing but high def shows. If you still don’t have a high def TV set by then that could be a problem.

This TV can convert 2D images to 3D however the image quality is not that good. All you need to do is purchase 3D glasses and 3D players which are available in local stores and you can now complete you 3D experience. More and more movies are also now in 3D.

After you have done your research and decided on the HDTV model that you think will best fit your needs and wants, it’s time to decide where to actually make the purchase. In times past, you really didn’t have much of a choice, and the local electronics retailer is probably the only place you could go. But the internet has made online shopping so much easier and better, so the question now is should you buy online or offline?

Actually, it’s usually a good idea to go to the local electronics store to get a physical demonstration of almost any TV that you are thinking about buying. That’s a huge advantage that offline retailers have, you can actually physically examine the merchandise before the sale. However, if it is one of the large electronics store chains, most often the service will not be all that good, and don’t expect the sales staff to be very knowledgeable either. They are often low paid salespeople who are not hired for their knowledge of the products and the high turnover rate often prevents you from speaking to a very experienced person. They also are usually more concerned with selling the product they want you to buy rather than the product that you want to buy, so their opinions will often not be impartial. So these kind of stores are usually only good for doing research and gathering product data.

The higher line electronics stores can be great sources of information, and the service is usually much better there, but you pay for all of that, as the prices for comparable products will often be much higher than at the retail chains.

Online retailers can vary dramatically and run the gamut from johnny-come-latelys to well-established, trustworthy merchants. The one big advantage that online retailers have over their offline counterparts is considerably lowered overhead costs. That means that they do not have to make as much profit on each sale to stay in business as the offline stores do. The savings are then passed on to you. Because HDTVs are a high dollar purchase to begin with, the extra costs associated with shipping are most often offset by the fact that you don’t have to pay sales tax on the product.

The main things to keep in mind about online retailers is the need to stick with those that have been in business for a long time. That indicates stability in their business practices. It is also good to do business with merchants who are authorized dealers for the brands that they sell. Again, that speaks more to the quality of the whole operation that you are dealing with.

In general then, if you do enough research beforehand online to get a good working knowledge of the HDTV products that are available, and then visit a local store to actually demo them, you can then save considerable amounts of money by buying your preferred model online from a well-established, reputable retailer.
