Buying a TV requires some knowledge about the difference in TVs. There are literally hundreds of new types and brand names, different shapes, multiple sizes, and thousands of features and accessories to choose from. You should at least have a working knowledge of the difference in the basic functions before going off on a TV shopping adventure.
It helps if you have an idea about if you need S-video inputs or not. Also if you may want or need RCA jacks in front. What about a digital comb filter? And will any of these things influence the quality of my viewing a movie or sports event? Questions like this will indeed pop up when you start shopping for your TV. So it's best to be prepared with some knowledge about such things.
Do you buy into the notion that 'bigger is better' when owning a TV? It depends on your situation and of course, the TV. I've seen smaller TVs that make you squint to see them, while huge TVs made everything a blur unless you sat a mile away. You need to keep in mind where you'll place your TV and what size TV that space calls for.
TV screens get measured from diagonal points of the screen, not top to bottom or side to side. Knowing this helps you to figure what size you will need for your particular viewing room. The flat-bottom TVs are very popular, but when buying one you need to take into consideration that they won't take up near as much space, say, as the old regular one you're replacing.
If you're going to shop for one that's at least forty inches or more, then give some consideration to buying a rear-projection CRT. These babies have been the favorite of home theaters for lots of years. They combine the screen with the projector type function for a very good picture.
There are three cathode ray tubes that make up the colors of blue, red, and green that get thrown onto the projection screen. Home theaters have been the biggest advocates of this type of TV. Some of the advantages for you are getting the biggest screen for your money with great picture quality and good black level.
A few of the disadvantages of these giants are their heaviness and deepness, and the fact that they can't be watched under bright light. They're tough to maintain, and the have quite a slim angle of viewing. But they still deliver quality color viewing and have been used for years by countless thousands.
Now take your flat panel plasma TVs on the other hand. They're rolling out of the stores like wildfire. They're slim and have large screens, which makes them ever popular with consumers. You have your choice of either 'LCD' or 'Plasma'. The LCDs function much like a laptop computer. And the Plasma TVs operate by lighting up thousands of little small fluorescent lights.
Buying a TV like the TX-L37S10 requires some knowledge, but it's not knowledge that's hard to come by.
