Hi Guys here are some tips on what to see in a HDTV before buying it-

Size-Depends on your room size and how far are you going to s it watching it you can sit as close as 1.5 times the screen size and as far as 3 times the screen size for the best results.

Type-The best and most expensive is Plasma but now LCD 3LCD and DLP are almost the same so no need to buy plasma do not go for a CRT or a CRT projection or a front projecter. So choose from 3lcd dlp and LCD (depends on size and brand)

Brand-Sharp is best for LCD Sony for 3LCD and Samsung for DLP

Resolution-1080p is the best resolution but actually the TVs now that say they have 1080p really do not have it they just can show every pixel of 1080i.So just buy a TV that can show 1080i and 720p and so don’t go for a 1080p TV cause that’s just waste of money (720p and 1080i are almost the same they are different only theoretically)

Colors-The colors are best in plasma TV but they are too expensive so you can buy a lcd, dlp or a 3lcd with good colors like a billion or more(16.4 or 17.3 million will do but if you want it better then look for a set with about a billion colors or more.

 Contrast Ratio-Best in a Plasma but that doesn’t matter too much so no need to look for the contrast ratio they are good in the three brands I suggested and other good brands.

Inputs-It should have at least 2 component inputs 1 HDMI or DVI 3 Composite (AV) 3 S-Video a digital audio output. It would be better if you buy an AV receiver with it so you can have more inputs.

Bonus Tips-For Surround speaker system and more inputs

AV Receiver-Any AV Receiver with good power at least 5.1 channels and it should have HDMI Upscale feature so it Upgrades all the inputs to HDMI.The receiver should have at least 4 Digital Audio inputs (toslink or coax)

Speakers-Any good speakers would of a good brand and with good power.
