Learn More About Flat Screen TVs Right Here

By Jack Delrento

When you are looking for a television for your bedroom, flat screen TVs are a great choice. Due to being flat, they do not take up much room, and they can be mounted on the wall at a level that will allow for optimal viewing. The biggest question is, how big of a television should a person use in their bedroom? A may also wonder if a LCD model or a Plasma model is best.

For the bedroom, because most of the television viewing will be done at night with little to low light, a Plasma model is considered better than a LCD model. Due to the competition to be the best flat screen television, it is important to understand that there are constantly technology advances made in both types of televisions. You can make the best choice for your needs by reading online reviews or visiting a local retailer where you can, personally, compare the various models.

You should base the size of television you purchase on how big your room is and how far away the television will be when you view it. When you are viewing a HD television, you can be as close as 2 times the size of the screen. However, most people have the television 2.5 to 3 times the size of the screen away.

When viewing in standard definition, a slightly larger distance is usually more comfortable. For rooms that measure over 15 square feet, a 43-inch screen is optimal, while a 37-inch screen is best for rooms that are under 15 square feet. If the room is 12 square feet, a 32-inch screen is best.

When judging the quality of the image, you need to consider the time of day that you'll be viewing the TV. You need to purchase a TV which allows for the correct viewing angle for your situation, as well as one that has enough brightness to see comfortably. Next, observe how well the TV reproduces accurate, deep black tones, since this is usually a difficult task for most TVs and is an indicator of quality.

The last thing you want to be certain of is the clarity of the edges between the reds and the yellows when you stand very close to the screen. Using this set of criterion, you will be able to choose the best flat screen television to meet your needs, while staying within your budget.

Don't forget to consider what height you want to mount your television at for quality bedroom viewing. The best choice in this area is to mount it close to the ceiling. This will allow you to view the television when you are standing and when you are laying down.
