HDTV LCD or Plasma HDTV? Learn more about HD-Ready TV's Today!
When buying a HDTV LCD screen to use as your regular TV, or with your computer there are really only two things to consider: resolution and contrast ratio. The pixel resolution denotes the number of horizontal by vertical pixels, the bigger the number the higher the resolution, and the clearer the picture of your HDTV LCD. The higher the resolution, the better picture you will have from a HDTV LCD screen.
New HDTV LCD prices start from around £500, and go up to around £1000. It is worth noting that a minimum screen
resolution of 720 lines in wide-aspect ratio is recommended. When buying your new HDTV get the best resolution lcd that you can afford. Remember that many existing lcd flat screens, even those with low resolution, will display HDTV, though not in fine detail. If you want a larger HDTV (42" +) it might be worth researching HD-Ready Plasma TV's.
Satellite & Digital HDTV LCD
Digital and satellite TV channels will soon be broadcasting HDTV, starting in June with this summers World Cup. However, it may be worth waiting until after the World Cup to hear the comments from users who have already purchased a HDTV LCD screen and can give feedback.
If you are considering installing a HDTV LCD TV above your fireplace it is worth reading our guide. It is also worth mentioning the contrast ratio of HD-ready lcd's, this is the measure of the darkness of the darkest colours against the brightness of the brightest colours. The higher the contrast ratio, the more defined the picture will be.
