Things you need to consider before you buy an LCD TV
Flat screen televisions have now replaced bulky television sets completely and are now a common sight in every home. LCD flat screen televisions are the first generation flat screen televisions. LCD televisions are available widely in the market and now cost much less than what they used to previously.
If you want to buy an LCD TV, the following are the things you need to consider before doing so.
Where do you wish to place it?
Flat screen entertainment units can either be placed on tables or can be wall-mounted. Either way, you need to keep some factors in mind. These factors include maintaining a safe distance from any heat source, ample space around and behind the television to allow ventilation, and susceptibility to tipping and sagging, especially with larger screens.
Which technologies do you prefer?
When shopping for an LCD television, make sure you do your homework about television technologies beforehand to avoid getting confused while shopping. LCD televisions may be labeled as LED and QLED televisions. LED and QLED are different technologies used to light up the screen and to enhance the display, respectively. LED televisions are backlit using LED bulbs, while QLED televisions place Quantum Dot technology between the LCD screen and the LED backlight. QLED is the technology that takes care of the enhancement of the various hues and shades of the visuals. Both LED and QLED are different types of LCD televisions. Therefore, you should not get confused between QLED and OLED, as these are two different concepts.
Which resolution do you want?
When you step out to buy an LCD TV, consider the pixel quality you desire for your TV viewing experience. Look for LCD televisions with a minimum pixel of 720 p or 768 p if the ones with 1080p are out of your budget.
Which is the best viewing angle for you?
Consider the viewing angle as well when shopping for an LCD TV. If the TV is intended for a room where people may be viewing in large groups, then opting for a small LCD TV will not be a good idea. This is because LCD televisions have a limited viewing angle compared to newer models of televisions which offer wider viewing angles.
Do you need a Smart TV?
If you are someone whose entertainment options are not limited to cable TV services, then make sure to look for an LCD television that is a smart TV. Smart TV range of televisions allows for online streaming and streaming apps and websites with the remote itself. Such features make your TV experience all the more enjoyable.
When you buy an LCD TV, make sure you compare all the features of the various models and brands available. Calculating the budget of how much you want to spend on your new LCD TV can also help you narrow down your options. Look out for deals and offers on televisions both online and at television retail stores to get the best bargain. Make sure you find out about the warranty and service provided as well as additional charges, like installation charges, that may be involved.
