Navigating the wilderness of high definition televisions can be a confusing mess with so many specifications and features to choose from. For a new consumer, there are several key factors to keep in mind while purchasing a new HDTV television set. There are different types of television available on the market, and with a number of choices, it’s easy to become confused as to the distinctions between genres. In the realm of flat-panel TVs, the primary categories are plasma and LCD sets. If you’re shopping for a set smaller than 42″, only LCD sets are available. For larger screens, the two different types of screes offer slightly different viewing experiences. If you’re on a limited budget, a plasma set will have slightly worse contrast of colors, and the darker shades will appear muddled compared to a similarly priced LCD screen. Alternatively, more expensive plasma screens will have noticeably better picture quality than LCD models.

The specifications of a television can be confusing, and a talented floor salesmen will be able to hurl them at a customer in an impressive and puzzling barrage of statistics. There are only a handful that you, as the customer, should be concerned about. The first, and arguably most important, is the screen resolution. Just as in computer monitors, the resolution measures the number of pixels present on the screen, with the first measure measuring the width of the screen and the second measuring the height.
The final important specifications are the aspect ratio and the contrast ration. The aspect ratio is the relationship between screen width and screen height. Old-school analog sets had a ratio of 4:3, but the industry has slowly been moving towards wide-screen formats like HDTV. Wide screen models have a ration of 16:9, which will make most movies and TV shows look great. Finally, the contrast ratio, which measures the difference between dark and light colors, should be examined. LCD specifications start around 600:1 while plasmas have an advantage at 1000:1. However, it should be noted that your primary concern should be how the screen fits your viewing environment, and the lighting conditions therein. Hopefully, with these guidelines, you’ll be able to narrow down the search and be well on your way to a brand new HDTV.
