Many of us have said it, thought it, felt it, or written itthat thanks to the Net, we have a worldwide closeness, a beneficial proximity, with people we might otherwise never meet.  One of the many, many values of this is that we will be able to generate ideas, have extra relationships, and gain support and recommendation, the second of which is what I talk to here.  That is, we can go online and compare TVs, for instance, before we blindly and in a hypnotised by bling and glimmer state, walk into a brick-and-mortar store and make a purchase.

So, for instance, we will go to those sites directly or indirectly designed with consumer reviewswritten and posted by people who help us compare TVs using their commentaries.  Provided the writer, the supposed consumer who is writing so we will compare TVs, is not someone affiliated with and earning money off the positive compare TVs reviews ( which does happen online, so watch who you think ), we should be ready to get a pragmatic report of usability, simplicity of cleaning ( where applicable ), endurance, affordability, and other traits that will help us, in this instance, compare televisions.

My fave places to bone up on product satisfaction reviews are as follows :

First, there’s epinions.com.  The consumers writing the reviews are real folks who have basically purchased the products ( just check out their lengthy, personal, consistent over time reviews ).  They assign from 1 to 5 stars, and write descriptive rationales.

And the efforts to compare televisions are simplified, as the reviews are specified by type, style, make, model, as well as by particulars / or specs ( display size in the case of TVs ) and / or priceif you want to browse ; otherwise, you can do a specific search or a general class search.  So a flat panel LCD TV such as the Sony HDTV-ready model, for instance, gets us to compare televisions by Sony in the $530-$1630 price-range, in the display size range of 27-inch to 56-inch, and even refine our search by other necessities, such as audio type, brightness, or maybe keyword.

My next favorite place to compare televisions or any other saleable / buyable product in the world is amazon.com.  The real-life, human customers there also go by a 5-star rating scale, and speak generally to express terms re the models, makes, and costs of TVs, according to their own customer satisfaction replies.

Ultimately, there is the more professional site where you can compare televisions or anything more, the site which is the ancestor to the above and each other review site and publication : ConsumerReports.com.  This site is honestly adept, completely exact, and technically good.  The reviews are created by clients who are also testers and technical writers getting paid to deliver a fair / equitable bias, if that sounds correct.

You will be able to compare TVs with ease, trusting someone, or the majority, is or are telling you the truth.

You can see more details of flat panel LCD TV’s on the LCD TV Blog.
