What TV is right for me?
This is a question we hear regularly at Colorado Media Systems. The answer
unfortunately can seem complicated! Is a plasma right? What about a plasma?
And how about a LCD TV? With so many options, we understand why the choice
can seem daunting. The very best way to know for sure what technology is right
for you is to have a conversation and possibly schedule a consultation.
Depending on the size of the TV desired, lighting conditions and seating
positions, we can help you to decide what is right for you and right for your
budget.
As a general rule, the amount of light coming into your room is one of the largest deciding factors. If you have a great deal
of light in your living room, we may steer you towards a LCD TV. If you have a room that has pretty good light control or the
windows mostly face north, a plasma may be just the ticket.
What about size? This can depend on what kind of TV you are frequently watching. For HDTV signals, the seating distance
is typically 2 to 2.5 times the screen’s diagonal size. For instance, with a 42” plasma, the recommended seating distance is
between 84 and 105 inches. This is for the most cinematic feel when watching your TV.
This of course is only the starting point for your entertainment system. There is also sound, HDTV, video games, music…
the list can go on and on depending on your wants and needs. Colorado Media Systems is happy to share these tips with
you and show you options for your own entertainment systems setup. Please call us to schedule a free consultation.
