LCD Buying Guide

Which LCD TV is right for you?
LCD and plasma screens offer a sharper picture with less reflection from sunlight and you can also enjoy a wider viewing angle. Their slim design means they're wall mountable with an additional bracket.

LCD TV's come in a variety of sizes:

Smaller TV Sets - Most models will have an aspect ratio of 16:9 also refered to as widescreen format which most TV programs are brodcasted in today instead of the older 4:3 standard format. Built-in sound is likely to be simple stereo, and refresh rates of 50Hz. These sets are typically available from between £200 and £400.

Medium TV Sets - Broadly speaking you can expect to pay between £400 and £800 for these larger, 37" to 42" screen models but expect to find significant improvements in sound and picture quality. Dolby Surround Sound is common, and there are a higher number of models with a widescreen aspect ratio.

Large TV Sets - In the case of the largest sets on the market prices can reach up to £3,000. At this level you can expect a feature rich set with a 16:9 screen, Dolby Virtual Surround Sound, refresh rates up to 100 Hz, and additional decoders for HDTV and or Digital and terrestrial TV.
