How To Buy an LCD Television

December 18th, 2007

 Think of this as your guide to the latest and greatest in visual display technology. It is a resource that will help you choose the right LCD television or monitor for you-whether you intend to use it at home, for business, or in tradeshows.

With all the benefits of the Digital Revolution come some unavoidable complications, like being “on call” 24/7, and coping with computer glitches, … and buying a new (digital) TV set. Buying a television these days is no simple task, which is why we wrote this buying guide-to assist the average person on his or her path to becoming an educated consumer.

If you go with a traditional, “brick and mortar” retailer, remember to shop around-not just for the best prices but also for the best equipment. While established retailers are almost always authorized dealers of what they sell (which ensures the manufacturer’s warranty will be upheld) and have more lenient return policies (restocking charges notwithstanding), they usually have a vested interest in which brand of TV they sell you. Many of the chain stores like Best Buy and Circuit City tend to push one manufacturer’s products over another’s based on issues totally unrelated to the merits of the products themselves. Some manufacturers offer incentives, or threaten to withhold merchandise, to achieve higher sales volumes. Source
