Getting HDTV (LCD, LED, and Plasma) Deals

Before the deals, let's understand the nature of HDTV's and what's available. Large flat screen HDTVs have become one of the most desired and purchased pieces of consumer electronics and for good reason - they look better externally and have better picture, use less energy and weigh significantly less than tube or rear projection screens. However, knowing which brand, type, and size to purchase isn't straight forward, but that's what we're here to help you with.

Deciding which HDTV to buy has a lot to do with the size and light levels of your room. If your room is large and dark you may opt for a projector. If your room is very bright you will want a brighter HDTV so that it's not washed out by sunlight.

LCD or Plasma?

Plasma holds the edge in contrast ratio and refresh rate and for a long time it was the only way you could get an HDTV over 42-inches. Now LCD technology has begun to eclipse the plasma market we've seen more and more manufacturers transition to LCD. LCDs are also cheaper and now that they are finally reaching plasma's refresh rate abilities they are usually a better option.

HDTV Refresh Rate

Note that all plasmas have 600Hz refresh rate so it is a non-issue (don't use it in your decision making process). LCDs come in 3 refresh rates, 60Hz, 120Hz, and 240Hz. The difference between 120 and 240 is minimal, but going to 120 from 60 is a big difference. The industry calls it "anti-judder", higher Hz means the screen is refreshed faster and on screen motion looks smoother. All bargain LCDs will be 60Hz.
