The best HD TV is a matter of opinion. In some cases you may expect to pay top dollar if it is really the best HD TV. That is not
always the case though. By some measures the balance of quality and price that determine the value of a product is what should be considered when selecting the best HD TV. So, it may not be the most expensive that is the best HD TV for some. It may not even be the one with the most capabilities or the best picture quality that is the overall best HD TV.
Instead determining which television is the best HD TV for you is likely to be something more like shopping and finding what fits most of the check-boxes on your list of weighted priorities. It will likely take a little time and you may find that the result is nearly a coin toss decision, but it can be worth it through the years that you spend sitting in front of the TV. Consider these points and models in your selection of the best HD TV for you.
Size
Depending on the location that you are working with, you may have a lot of options to consider regarding what size television to choose. Typically the best HD TV size will be in the 40 something to 50 something inches. These are the most popular and typically have the greatest number of quality options to choose from.
You will also find that these sizes have a rather close and sometimes overlapping price range. That can work to your advantage if you are interested in getting more for less. Consider this.
Price
Paying too much simply does not make sense. Paying too little may result in getting less. The idea of value (and that is our current definition of the best HD TV) is to get the most for the least.
In some cases it is possible to find 50 inch televisions for the same price as 42 inch models. Be aware of that as you shop. In other cases purchasing refurbished or used may be the best HD TV purchase for your price range. The details of what you get, including warranties, will determine the value you receive.
Models
Samsung is among the most widely praised manufacturers of HD televisions. That does not mean that all of their models are great though. LG, Panasonic, Sony and a number of others have appeared in best of lists as well. Measuring the quality of the particular model that you are interested is an important part of selecting your television.
For the less common consumer there are projector HD TV’s available that can supply very large displays. The Optoma HD20 is one example known for its resolution quality. There are panels that are also available in very large and very small sizes. These options may not fit into the value calculation of what is best, or they may fit that calculation compared to the other specific models that fulfill your display dimension checklist.
