If you are looking for a new television to purchase for your home theater system, you may be confused by all of the available choices on today’s market. Go to any major store that sells televisions and you’ll see a lengthy row of size and selections based on – well you may not be sure what is different with all of those TVs!

There is talk of LCD screens, LED screens, plasma TV screens, flat screens, flat panel screens, HD TV and now 3D TV. It is a list that could be overwhelming for many television buyers who want to purchase the very best television for their home theater.

So where does a buyer begin when shopping for a new television? You may want to start off considering your budget. If you have a certain amount in mind and the style of the television is not that much of an issue for you, then you can comparison shop based on final price and then ask a sales person or consult the internet to decide which features of televisions in your budget range are best for your needs. Many stores have frequent sale prices and discounts so do your homework before going out and about to shop for a new TV. Check online and in stores.

Some chain stores may offer online deals that less expensive than identical in-store models and will honor the online price in-store. If you purchase a large television, see if the store offers delivery or if you need to take it home in your own vehicle. Also check into installation, warranties and compatible remotes. Be sure you purchase appropriate cables, wires and cords and double check to make sure all of your gaming devices and video playback machines are also compatible as well. Some devices require special cords to hook up to certain television types.

If you have a specific budget in mind but are more concerned about size, style or features of your television, you can still comparison shop but you’ll need to narrow down the type of television you want to buy and then check rates online and in-store. Take advantage of the internet to begin your research and discover pros and cons of each type of television you are interested in. Read reviews about each style and model on websites that allow for customer reviews and see what the majority says. Some televisions may have problems with images burning into the screen, or too much glare from windows and light sources. Other televisions get blurry from a side view, so the image will appear distorted when standing to the side of the TV which is inconvenient when having a larger group watching TV over at your place.

Some televisions have better sound quality, color quality and of course the newly offered 3D technology. The last bit of information you will need before purchasing your television is size. Make sure you have the measurements of the area where your television will be located in your new home theater system setup. You will need a platform to set the TV on or a heavy-duty bracket to install on your wall. Whatever option you choose, research is the most important step before buying your new TV!
