Big Screen TV For The Big Guy?


Several consumers will be picking up a new TV for Christmas – either for themselves or their loved ones. The experts in big screen TV’s, Paul’s TV inside Art Van Furniture, have put together five helpful tips for holiday shoppers:

Alphabet soup: LED, LCD or Plasma TV? LED’s have richer color and are more energy efficient. LCD’s are less expensive and have a matte finish and will display better in brighter rooms. Plasma’s have the richest color palette of all and the best viewing angles.
Numbers: 1080p is the term used mostly when identifying resolution. 1080p is currently the most desirable resolution. The higher the resolution the better the overall picture quality.
Cords: HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the best cable you can purchase. It carries audio as well as video, and will give the best picture and sound from one cord.
Installation: If you are considering installing your HDTV professional installation is highly recommended. Not only for safety purposes but what does one do with all of the exposed wires? Professional installation guarantees a worry free experience.
Save the Box: Hang on to the box and the Styrofoam that your HDTV came in. This will come in handy if moving or if something goes wrong and the unit needs to be shipped back to the manufacturer.
