Appreciate LCD-TV in appearance - colorbody, diagonal and screen format. When choosing the color of the body, proceed from the situation where the TV will stand. To watch normal TV programs, select a TV with a diagonal of up to 26 inches. If your goal - watching movies or high definition television (HDTV), then prefer a TV with a diagonal of over 32 inches. To watch TV it is advisable to buy TVs with a traditional 4: 3 format, for DVD movies you need a widescreen screen with a 16: 9 aspect ratio.

Pay attention to the viewing angle and the sound system. The larger the viewing angle, the more comfortable you will be to look at the screen from anywhere in the room. In the most advanced modern models, the viewing angle reaches an almost unfolded angle of 168-170 °. Depending on the viewing angle, the price of the TV also changes.

Pay attention to the sound system. Acoustics should be two-way (with two speakers), so that the sound quality is good, when sounding there should be no extraneous sounds or a crunch of speakers / casing. If you need special sound systems (for example, systems without compression of sound or sound from Blu Ray discs), look at the TV's passport.
