How to Choose the Perfect Plasma TV
Overview
With the rise of HDTV, DVD-video, DTV, and digital satellite, plasma TVs are becoming increasingly popular. These tips will guide you in making an informed purchase.
Understanding Plasma Resolution
Plasma TVs offer a higher resolution than traditional TVs, making them capable of displaying HDTV, DTV, as well as VGA, SVGA, and XGA. Typically, plasma TVs have a resolution of 1366 x 768, delivering vibrant colors and exceptional clarity.
Sizing Your Plasma TV
Like other TVs, plasma screens are measured diagonally, ranging from 32 to 63 inches. When installing, ensure you leave 3 inches of space at the top for ventilation and 6 inches on each side for speakers. Choose a screen size that fits your room, rather than just opting for the largest available option.
- 32-37 inches: Best viewed from 6 to 10 feet away.
- 42 inches: Ideal viewing distance is 10 to 14 feet.
- 50 inches: Optimal viewing from 12 to 16 feet.
- Over 50 inches: Should be viewed from at least 15 feet.
A flatter screen minimizes glare from windows and lamps and reduces screen distortion, making it a worthwhile investment.
Connectivity and Inputs
Ensure the TV has multiple sets of audio and video inputs and outputs, including RCA composite, component video inputs, and S-video. For HDTV users, check for HD component firewire.
Shopping Tips
You can buy your plasma TV at a local store or explore online options for potential discounts. Always purchase from reputable dealers and beware of deals that seem too good to be true. Use pricing portals like Nextag, Pricegrabber, and Bizrate to compare prices, but remember these only feature paid advertisers.
Warranty Considerations
Check if the TV comes with a warranty, and consider purchasing an extended warranty if it’s reasonably priced.
By following these tips, you’ll be well-prepared to make a smart purchase of your new plasma TV.
