Should You Buy An LCD TV?One big advance in modern video technology is the LCD TV. Let face it, few homes today are without a TV set, and when the old one goes caput, they will most likely end up having to buy either an LCD or plasma TV. LCD TV's are based on the LCD TV's offer much brighter and higher contrasts than the old CRT models. LCD TV's also reduce glare on the screen, which can be hassle on the old sets, especially if you are watching something filmed in a dark background or environment. Reducing the glare also helps to counteract the negative effect that watching TV has on your vision, caused by eye strain. It is important to pay close attention to the dot pitch offered by these TV's, as the lower the dot pitch, the better picture and clearer resolution you will have. LCD TV's offer good value for your money because they tend to last a lot longer than most average TV's In testing, many have held up to over sixty thousand hours of play without having any problems. That would equate to about fifteen to twenty years for the average TV use. It is recom bulbs are replaceable in the event of a problem, but others can cause you to have to replace the whole set. It is important to buy a well known brand name that has good warranty coverage on the bulbs, as you are likely to get better service should a problem occur. LCD TV's can be expensive, so you should definitely think about the price of the set in relation to the size of the screen. If you desire a large screen TV, you will probably be paying quite a penny for an LCD TV that you will be satisfied with. But, on the same thought, keep in mind that the picture quality is a lot better, meaning that you may be happy with a smaller screen if it fits your budget better. As with any large purchase, it is a good idea to shop around and do your homework. Look at several of the same models from different dealers to negotiate the best price range. Keep in mind to look at the customer service history of the company, as well as what warranty coverage they offer. The best price may not always come with the best products or service. LCD TV's can be purchased online, but you should definitely make certain that you are buying from a reputable dealer, maybe even checking with the Better Business Bureau before making your final choice. Remember, don't be afraid to ask the dealer questions about your purchase and warranty info, and if he seems unknowledgeable or reluctant to answer, take it as a good sign that you should do your shopping for your LCD TV elsewhere.
