That LCD TVs provide a great viewing experience is no secret, but until lately few people were able to get one because they found them to be out of their price range. The good news is that these days it is not at all hard to find yourself a cheap LCD TV. The only hard part is deciding which of the many great and affordable LCD TVs on offer to spend your money on. With that in mind, here are some guidelines for helping you choose…

Look online for reviews of each brand - There are many different companies that make LCD TVs and some are known to be better than others. The most famous brands are not always the best value for money, so it is worth finding out a bit about each brand’s reputation in relation to LCD TVs. You can do this by simply typing the name of a brand followed by ‘LCD TV review’ into a search engine and reading what people have been saying about them.

Choose a sensible screen size - People are often tempted to just go for the biggest screen size possible, but that is not always the best way. The reason being that how near or far you sit from your TV is an important factor to consider. If you have a small living room, then a huge TV is really not necessary, as you will be sitting too close to it to get the optimal viewing experience. If you normally sit around 4 feet from your TV, then a screen size of around 30 inches is best, and if you normally sit 12 feet from your screen, then a 50 inch screen is recommended.

Opt for a good resolution - If you are looking for a great quality picture, you will need a high resolution LCD TV. Look for one that is 1024×768 or 1366×768. These are typically available on most high-definition TVs, so you should not have any trouble finding a suitable one. If you have a choice of either a bigger screen or a better resolution, then you are better off opting for a better resolution.
