Televisions
The latest TVs are re-inventing the viewing experience!
Superb picture quality now comes in many shapes and sizes
Traditional tube (CRT) or stylish flat-panel? Widescreen 16:9 or standard
4:3 screen shape? HDTV or conventional analog? With so many models
to choose from there’s definitely one that’s perfect for you. (To keep up
with the transition to HDTV, see our articles at CrutchfieldAdvisor.com.)
A nice TV is a big investment, so look at performance, features and
future-readiness. To fully enjoy DVD and HDTV, we’d suggest getting the
largest screen that is a practi-
cal fit for your room and budg-
et. Tube-type TVs are still popular
because their sharp, bright images look
good in virtually all rooms and lighting conditions. Thin, lightweight flat-
panel plasma and LCD TVs have improved dramatically over the past
two years, and prices keep dropping. Need a space-efficient TV sized for
home theater? Check out our cool rear-projection LCD and DLP models.
Hassle-free, inexpensive delivery.
