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.
