How to Buy an LCD Television

LCD or liquid crystal display TV’s are some of the most popular models.  LCD TV’s have the latest TV technology features to produce superior high definition picture quality.  They are available in large screens for the home theater, or made to be portable.


  • Research the models available for comparison.  Read consumer reviews and find out how each model compares. 

  • Select a brand that you can trust.  It is better to purchase your TV from companies that have experience in producing high quality products.

  • Choose between 760p and 1080p resolution.  1080p is full high-definition, but 760p also offers a clear picture.

  • Consider the size of the room.  Buying a TV that is too big or too small for the room leads to less than optimal viewing.  The distance between the location of the TV and the viewing area will serve to enhance or hinder viewing.

  • Decide on the location of the TV in the room. Find a suitable position and take measurements in order to ensure you get the right size TV.

  • Determine the position in terms of mounting.  The options available include flat or tilt wall mounting, articulating or movable mounting and table stand. Decide which look will enhance the room’s décor while providing the best viewing.

  • Purchase your LCD TV from a reputable dealer. Stores that specialize in electronics will offer service that may include after sales service. They often have customer service representatives who can offer valuable assistance.  Explore warranties available.

  • Buy from online stores.  You may be able to get a bargain and save a lot of money, but there are risks involved regarding technical support.
