Top 3 Tips For Buying An

LCD TV

I want a larger screen and so do you. There is absolutely no reason for

this wanting except for the feeling of power that a large screen gives

you. I have no idea why it is, but we all seem to want a larger screen for

our TVs these days. The question is, how to get a good deal on an LCD TV

without paying a fortune. Let's give you our top 3 tips on buying an LCD

TV.

1)Don't buy a used one if you don't have to. The funny thing about

these TVs is that their prices drop significantly every month and that if

you just wait a little longer, the price you'll pay for a new TV is

probably not going to be too far off from the price that you are going to

pay for a used one. A little patience might actually save you some dollars

here.

2)Compare features, not just prices. One of our favorite places to go

to compare prices on LCD Tvs is ConsumerReports.org. Consumer Reports was

rating different items way before the internet even become popular.

Remember buying your first real car? I do. And I went straight to Consumer

Reports to find out that the Honda Accord was the car to buy (and still is

according to CR). Shopping for a high end LCD Tv shouldn't be any

different than shopping for a new car. All the resources are at your

disposal, so give it a try. I'm sure you can find some gems of information

at CR regarding your LCD Tv purchase.

3)HD is coming, don't miss out. High definition television has

allegedly been "right around the corner" for years. Well, that time may

finally have arrived. Some LCD Tvs come HD ready and some do not. Make

sure your new LCD TV supports HD so that when it is finally popularized,

you can watch the programs utilizing this latest technology.

And by the way, why would someone want to buy an LCD TV over a

"Plasma". And what is a plasma? Are they different than LCDs? Basically

yes. The big difference is that they use different technologies to deliver

a picture. Both have pros and cons. However, both deliver a large screen

experience to the user.
