Think about when seeking a replacement TV
Are you still using a dated, clunky, energy sucking tube television in your Man Cave? Sure, those old CRT tubes have a ridiculously long lifespan, but they’re also energy hogs, take up lots of space and are really heavy to move to another location if you decide to change the layout of your room. If your TV is ancient and has a bulky tube screen it’s probably time to upgrade to a current model television. Don’t worry though, upgrading isn’t painful at all and you’ll love saving money on your electric bill, too. Here are some of the basics things to think about when seeking a replacement TV.
The first thing you need to figure out is how big of a screen you want. A good thing to note here is that televisions are measured diagonally from corner to corner across the screen. This might make it a bit more difficult to figure out if a particular TV set will fit where you want it to. Luckily, you can usually find the height and width measurements of any set on the manufacturer’s web site.
Once you figure out the size screen you want, you also have to think about what type of screen you want. The three technologies you want to focus on are plasma, LCD and LED. Each have their good and bad points which I’ll briefly touch on below.
