LCD TV Checklist: Are You Prepared?
Introduction
LCD flat-screen TVs offer a superior picture compared to traditional televisions and come in sleek, attractive designs. They can be mounted on walls, under cabinets, on ceilings, or simply placed on stands or furniture. Known for their versatility and flexibility, LCD TVs provide an enhanced entertainment experience. But how exactly do they work?
Understanding LCD Technology
LCD technology relies on the properties of polarized light. These TVs consist of two panes of polarized glass arranged perpendicularly and bonded with a liquid-crystal-filled polymer solution. When electrical currents pass through, the crystals untwist to allow specific amounts and colors of light, making LCD TVs essentially projection TVs that use a bright lamp as their light source.
Choosing the Right LCD TV
When selecting an LCD TV, consider the following factors:
1. HDMI Input: Ensure the TV has an HDMI port to keep the signal all-digital, avoiding degradation. HDMI carries both high-definition audio and video, and is compatible with some satellite receivers and DVD players.
2. Screen Size: Match the screen size to your room. With higher resolution, LCD TVs allow you to sit closer, so larger screens can be viewed comfortably. Avoid overwhelming small rooms with excessively large screens.
3. Picture-in-Picture Feature: Decide if you need this feature, allowing you to watch two video sources simultaneously. Single-tuner lets you view TV and another source (like a DVD), while dual-tuner enables viewing two TV channels at once.
4. HDTV Capability: Opt for an HD-ready LCD TV, as EDTV cannot display high-definition signals. The price difference is minimal, and experts suggest there's little reason to buy a non-HD model, as they can't improve on regular analog TV quality.
5. Stand and Mounting Hardware: Check if the TV includes a stand or if wall-mounting hardware is needed, which can cost an additional $100 to $200.
6. Warranty Policies: Investigate the manufacturer's warranty policy, especially when purchasing online. Some brands, like Sharp, have strict policies about authorized dealers. Unauthorized purchases might not be covered, so understand the risks or the retailer's warranty terms.
7. Educate Yourself: There's more to learn beyond these points about LCD TVs. Take time to understand the technology and features.
By understanding these aspects, you can make a more informed choice and optimize your viewing experience.
