Does Your TV Need an Upgrade?

Televisions: some are too big, some are too small, and some are just right. When I was shopping for a new television last weekend I saw just how much the TV market has improved over the past few years. Some TVs were tiny, like portable, battery operated TVs, and some were huge, like the 73" HDTV that made me feel like I was right at the movies.
The picture on these newer models is so brilliant that my old Pioneer television doesn't even compare. Innovations, like rear projection, flat panel, LCD, and plasma displays, boast outstanding color, clarity, and detail. LCDs, like the Sharp Aquos and Sony Bravia, generally perform the same as plasmas, such as the Panasonic Viera, but they are usually lighter in weight and consume less energy.

All that was left to decide on was what brand I wanted, which was difficult considering televisions from Samsung, Panasonic, and other brands all have their own unique styles. What do you look for when buying a TV?

Once I got my new toy home, I easily hooked up my TiVo and Nintendo and then hung it up using a television wall mount. I was able to get rid of my old, frumpy TV stand and now I have a ton of more space.
