We choose a TV

26

If you ask people in which room the whole family most often gathers after dinner, you can get different answers. It is customary for some to have tea in the dining room, for some it is more comfortable in the living room, and some are happy to spend time in the kitchen. However, without a doubt, we can say that whatever room we choose, there will definitely be a TV in it.

If you are going to buy a new TV, then buying it is a rather serious step. As a rule, such items are not bought for one hour, so all family members should be involved in the selection, and the purchase decision should not be hasty. What should be considered when deciding to buy a new TV?

When choosing, you need to determine which type of TV is more suitable for you. You will have to choose between LCD, plasma panels, projector and others. Also, do not forget about discount days TVs on Black Friday it is possible much more profitable. Also, when choosing a TV for the kitchen, it should be taken into account that, as a rule, it will be used only for the background; and when buying a TV set for a children's room, you should not forget about its possible use as a monitor for computer games.



The universal characteristics of LCD TVs allow you to use them to watch both news and movies from discs. Today there is a fairly large selection of LCD TVs in any price category. The advantage of this type of TV can be called their light weight and thickness, so it is possible to install it both on a stand and on a bracket. However, televisions with a liquid crystal screen do not have a very wide viewing angle; in addition, such a device consumes quite a lot of electricity.



Plasma TVs are distinguished from other types by their good brightness and high image contrast. When using such a TV as a computer monitor, one more important plus is the short response time. Some time ago, manufacturers had problems related to the production of plasma televisions with a large diagonal, but now these difficulties have been solved, and there are "plasmas" of any size to choose from.

On the screen of an LED TV with high brightness and contrast indicators, you can see a fairly natural picture. The main advantage of LED technology is that such TVs consume little energy and have an ultra-thin screen. The disadvantage of LED TVs is their relatively high cost due to their relatively recent appearance on the market.

After you have determined the desired type of TV, you need to measure the room where you plan to put it. Using the necessary reference materials, it is recommended to determine the maximum possible screen size for this room, so as not to harm the audience during viewing.

You also need to decide how important the sound of the TV is to you. Its quality will depend on the size and location of the speakers. It is necessary to determine from where you will watch TV, and contact the store for advice from a consultant who will help you choose a model with optimal dynamics.

The possibility of connecting other devices to the TV is very important. If you plan to connect a camera, DVD player or VCR to it, then when choosing, you need to take into account the location of the outputs and their minimum number.

Before you go shopping, don't be too lazy to search the Internet and study information about manufacturers. There are not so many leading companies producing quality televisions. Some of them produce TVs with only one type of screen; however, most manufacturers are engaged in the production of TVs of all types. Find out the warranty period that the manufacturing companies give for their products, this moment is very important. Also, do not be too lazy to specify in which country the production of televisions of the selected company is located.

There is no need to rush and make a purchase in the first store. The price may vary significantly in different retail chains. Choose several options that you like and consult with a consultant. After learning about your preferences, he will advise you of a model that will suit you in terms of technical characteristics.

In addition to technical parameters, it is recommended to take into account the external design of the TV, because it must fit perfectly into the room in which you plan to install it. Today, manufacturers offer models in different colors; you can choose any that will match the color scheme of your home design. To save space, you can choose a bracket for mounting the TV. With the help of this device, you can securely fix the TV on the wall. Most TVs have both types of mounting: you can install the TV on a stand or fix it on a bracket.

In order for the TV to delight you for many years, it is necessary to seriously and carefully approach the question of its choice.
