Nowadays we are all inundated with all these new technologies that change from month to month- all of which can be very confusing for the average consumer.
My first advice would be to not get fooled by all the commercials and marketing techniques that try to lure you in to buying the latest and greatest high-tech gadgets because you probably do not really need them.
Instead you should assess your needs and expectations when shopping around for a new product.
That said, when choosing your TV, if you can afford it you should definitely go for the highest resolution: 1080p; like the Toshiba 1080p REGZA.
However, this is worth it only if you are purchasing at least a 32″ screen tv, because anything under this size, you probably won’t notice the difference in the resolution to that of a 720p television.
If you are buying an LCD flat panel, go for a model with the highest refresh rate, like the Sharp LCD TV 100hz: as this is a key feature that will reduce the blur and pixellation as fast moving motions go across the screen-especially important if you are a big sports fan!
Another thing you may want to look out for are the black levels. Higher black levels will give you a better overall picture as well as better contrast; like the Toshiba 52XV555DB.
Finally, when comparing different TV models you should consider the space you have in your TV room to get the optimal viewing experience.
For instance, with a 32″ TV your primary view area should be 3 to 5 feet away from your set.
With a 42″ tv flat panel you should be at 4 to 6 feet away; with a 50″ tv count 5 to 8 feet; a 58″ tv at least 6 to 9 feet.
And if you have a really massive room you can go for a 65″ TV and you should plan on sitting at least 7 to 10 feet away.
