There are a few choices out there when you want to get a new Televsion
screen for your home theater. There are projectors, rear projection,
Plasma, LCD and DLP as choices and I wanted to get started with these
but providing you with a quick article on each type starting with LCD
TVs
I want a larger screen and so do you. There is absolutely no reason
for this wanting except for the feeling of power that a large screen
gives you. I have no idea why it is, but we all seem to want a larger
screen for our TVs these days. The question is, how to get a good deal
on an LCD TV without paying a fortune. Let’s give you our top 3 tips on
buying an LCD TV.
1) Don’t buy a used one if you don’t have to. The
funny thing about these TVs is that their prices drop significantly
every month and that if you just wait a little longer, the price you’ll
pay for a new TV is probably not going to be too far off from the price
that you are going to pay for a used one. A little patience might
actually save you some dollars here.
2) Compare features, not just prices. One of our
favorite places to go to compare prices on LCD Tvs is
ConsumerReports.org. Consumer Reports was rating different items way
before the internet even become popular. Remember buying your first
real car? I do. And I went straight to Consumer Reports to find out
that the Honda Accord was the car to buy (and still is according to
CR). Shopping for a high end LCD Tv shouldn’t be any different than
shopping for a new car. All the resources are at your disposal, so give
it a try. I’m sure you can find some gems of information at CR
regarding your LCD Tv purchase.
3) HD is coming, don’t miss out. High definition
television has allegedly been “right around the corner” for years.
Well, that time may finally have arrived. Some LCD Tvs come HD ready
and some do not. Make sure your new LCD TV supports HD so that when it
is finally popularized, you can watch the programs utilizing this
latest technology.
And by the way, why would someone want to buy an LCD TV over a
“Plasma”. And what is a plasma? Are they different than LCDs? Basically
yes. The big difference is that they use different technologies to
deliver a picture. Both have pros and cons. However, both deliver a
large screen experience to the user.

A projector is an apparatus for presenting an enlarged image on a
screen from a transparency such as a photographic slide or a film. In a
motion picture projector, each frame is held stationary at an
illuminated aperture for a brief period, and then advanced by an
intermittent sprocket or reciprocating claw, the light being cut off by
a rotating shutter during the movement. One should have a clear idea
about video projectors before buying video projector screens.
Video
projectors have become common and captured the market throughout the
world. They are especially common in schools and colleges where it
becomes necessary to show videos and films (especially in film schools
and institutes), or any place where people need to show films on a
regular basis at a cheap rate to a large number of people.
There
is a wide range of video projector screens available in the market. One
can buy the kind of video projector screen one wants depending on the
kind of surface. The surfaces vary from smooth to rough, and minutely
undulated ones. However, before considering any video projector
screens, one should consider the following elements: resolution,
brightness or reflectivity, contrast, color accuracy, and build quality.
Some
of the white (or gray) video projection screens can bring about a
difference in resolution, or image detail. There should be a rating to
indicate its inherent reflectivity, on which the brightness of the
image depends. Contrast of the image is also dependent to great extent
on the video projection screen. A screen should not reflect any color
other than that of the projector itself.
