To answer this question, we offer an overview of key criteria.

Choose the type of TV

Modern TVs have a lot of variety.for this reason, it is very difficult to decide which one is the best for each specific case. First of all, it is worth finding out which TV type It will be appropriate for you, because currently the market offers several options available depending on the type of display.

LED and LCD

For those who have long dreamed of buying a flat-panel TV, standard LED or LCD displays, which are notable for their unparalleled compactness and image quality, are perfect - for this reason, many buyers choose them. At the same time, they consume significantly less energy compared to CRT displays, but the quality of the image in such TV has long been a subject of controversy among experts and buyers.You can choose the right option, focusing on personal preferences and impressions of the image on the screen, as well as comparing all the parameters of LED and LCD displays.

According to some experts, LCD models have a lower level of contrast, give a distortion effect when viewed from different angles, while devices with LED screens are free of such minuses.

The first option is characterized by the arrangement of the diodes under the monitor matrix, which allows you to make the image much more vivid, clear and juicy. Modern TV of such a plan will cost more compared to analog options such as Edge, in which the diodes are located only around the perimeter of the matrix.

Choose LED TV As the main home TV - an excellent and economical solution.

It is worth remembering that the LCD format models have their own significant drawbacks, including a hitch,arising between the issuance of a signal on the display and the projection of the picture - this interval was called “matrix response". This feature should be remembered when choosing a suitable TV for yourself and, acquiring a suitable option, pay attention to it. When the current is supplied to the matrix, its pixels begin to produce the desired color, but not immediately, but after a while. If the response is less, then the image quality will be much better in the process of moving the video sequence - this is true for TVs of any size (32 inches, 40 inches or 24 inches)
