Great Prices Here

Let’s take a look today at televisions, only TVs are no longer just TVs. Time was you wanted to buy a TV, you decided which brand you liked best, perhaps the color and screen size and your budget; it wasn’t difficult. These days it can be positively nerve racking! They’re flat, they’re LCD, they’re Plasma, they’re High Definition, enough to befuddle my not-very-tech-savvy self! Poor us, spoilt for choice! If you thought settling on a DVD player was complicated, here’s some more complication for you:

It wasn’t enough to give us flat screen TVs, they had to improve technology to the extent that you can put your TV up on the wall so that it takes up only as much space as a painting or something! So the question I asked myself is which is better to buy, a Plasma TV or an LCD TV. On the face of it I couldn’t see any difference but research revealed that they are both based on completely different technologies. After reading a lot of different articles here and here, (just in case you are interested), I came to the conclusion that it has to be the consumer’s personal choice: both have their own pros and cons, and if you cut out the mumbo jumbo, it is twelve of one and a dozen of another!

I put them side by side (that is an LCD on the left and a Plasma TV on the right) but for the life of me I cannot tell the difference, they are both really pretty, I grant you that!

So here are some good offers for LCD TVs that I came across, all of them under $1000. These are for recognized and well known brands that consumers have rated and given a ‘thumbs up’ to. The JVC 37” mentioned here and available at Vanns.com costs exactly one grand and includes free shipping. The 32” Samsung is highly recommended here and costs upward of $679.95. The 37” Sharp mentioned here and available at Office Depot costs $800.

Among the Plasma TV range, the 42”LG plasma costs $889 if you don’t want it shipped + a hundred more if you do.

The 42” Philips plasma TV costs $900 + $100 shipping.

To be sure there are cheaper sets available, in the smaller screen segment which you may also want to check out. The offers I have told you about may vary from day to day.

Now we come to the good old standard or analog TV, which I am afraid will have to wait till my next post, because I have already rambled on long enough in this one, and your poor head is probably spinning as much as mine!
