Flat Panel Televisions


I am just one lucky dude! I just moved into one gorgeous apartment here in New York ’s East Manhattan . My place is a loft type – cute, compact but homey. It came fully furnished, except for one thing – the television.

This was the main reason I call myself lucky. I wanted to buy my one television, and I want it to be a flat panel LCD television.

Why a flat panel television and an LCD at that? Firstly, a flat panel LCD television can be very thin – about 2 inches in thickness. That by itself is a plus point for me.

Secondly, because of my loft-style pad, space is a constraint. With a flat panel television, I can mount it on the wall facing my bed in my bedroom. I know it’s a lazy way of watching television – but who cares? I can relax at the end of the day, after a hard day at work, just lying idly on my bed and looking up at my flat panel television.

Thirdly, plasma television, although almost as thin as an LCD flat panel television, tends to overheat more and has a short display monitor life. A flat panel LCD television has greater accuracy in color though, although the color contract between light and dark might not be as good as a plasma television.

Still, it was a good decision to buy a flat panel type of television. So how do I go about buying the best one?

The first thing to check out for is the size of your flat panel television in relation to the size of your room. A very big flat panel television in a small room would dwarf the whole room by its size. In this case, I went for a 36 inch one.

Next, check for the picture quality. Are the colors accurately portrayed? Can the display monitor capture the action on fast sports events? How about the picture angle? Can you still clearly see the screen from the sides?

Lastly, did you check for after-sales service? Do they have an ample money back guarantee which covers for spare parts as well if there is a problem?

With these considerations in mind, I trooped to the nearest electrical appliance store to buy my flat panel television.
