Complications in buying televisions
A long time ago buying a new TV was a very simple affair. You just picked the screen size and off you went.
It’s changed a lot since those blissful days though. Nowadays when you look at televisions there’s still the size to consider but now you’ve added the choice between flat screen and CRT style (not to mention the different flat screen technologies), then there’s normal vs high definition (and HD vs HD ready) not to mention the possibilities of home cinema and potential computer connections.
Even the “simple” choice of screen size isn’t so simple anymore. It used to be that 14″ was bedroom size but now that the prices have dropped so much you can easily be thinking in terms of 32″ instead and living room screen sizes run to feet rather than inches these days.
However, with all that complication has come a massive drop in price. The 42″ flat screen that replaced our 7 year old 28″ TV was only 2/3rds of the price and those prices are still dropping.
