HOW TO BUY A TELEVISION

Step in to a store to buy a new TV and you are greeted by intimidating array of flat screens playing everthing from saas-bahu programmes and movies to cricket and football matches.

There are four major types of TV’s available in the market today. They are PLASMA , LED  , LCD and CRT.

PLASMA TV:

These offer the best colours and widest viewing angles and in fast moving pictures , motion blur or ghosting is almost non-existent. However, Plasma consume three times as much power as LED, LCD Tv’s. Repairing of these TV is also quite costly.

Price : 35000 Rs to 3.2 Lakhs

LED TV:

These TV’s are much sleeker and the most power efficient. Images are sharp and structure finishing is smooth. But the disadvantage is that the colours can be uneven at times.

Price : 28000 Rs to 1.5 Lakhs

LCD TV:

It provides smooth picture quality and is power efficient. It again supports rich colours. But at times can overlap. Its prone to ghosting while watching sports or playing video games.

Price : 20000 Rs to 70000 Rs

CRT TV:

Its the old Cathode Ray Tube system. Its major point is its cost advantage. Its very cheap. Manufacturers are trying hard to dispose it off as soon as possible.

The disadvantage is big size, high power consumption, parts to repair becoming redundant, mono system, ghosting and less range in colors.
