12 In the days of SDTV (Standard Definition TV) and CRT's
(tubes), buying a TV was relatively easy. You decided
what screen size you wanted and figured out how big
a cabinet you could fit in your house and away you
went. Manufacturers offered different quality levels
and, towards the end, there were flat tubes versus the
traditional rounded tubes, but the choices were
relatively straightforward.
THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
With a traditional TV, you were clearly watching a
device (like a radio with pictures). Now the device is disappearing and you are
experiencing the actual content. How convincing that experience is depends on a
number of technical factors and personal preferences. With this guide, we will try
to put some of these variables and trade offs into perspective and hopefully
assist you in making the most of your FPTV (Flat Panel TV) investment. As we
discuss the key decision points below, we will take into account each of these
questions as they apply.
THE FIRST STEP
in the decision process is to ask yourself a few key questions:
1
What type of content are you
primarily interested in. Sports.
Movies. General programming.
4
Will you use the internal tuner to
receive over the air broadcasts or
will you use an external cable or
satellite box.
2
Do you plan to use the internal
audio system of the TV.
5
How many high definition and
standard definition sources do you
plan to connect.
3
Are you planning to mount the
TV on the wall, or will you use a
stand and or a cabinet.

buying a TV, you are buying
