Look How Far A Television Has Come

By Matt Thames


Putting together the perfect home entertainment system is simple. All you have to do is own a fantastic TV, a great surround sound as well as all the awesome components to watch your favorite films on. Selecting the TV can be relatively simple in this day and age.

Many of the flat screens have come down in price and are affordable to most people. Each of them have roughly the same specs also, with only the higher end ones providing much more than any other television. And even that is hard to recognize for most people, because if it is high def, most individuals can't tell the difference between some minor hardware specifications and refresh rate and all that stuff. All they need to know is that the TV looks good when you are viewing High Definition television and movies.

Most people do not care about all of the technical specs, besides; most Tv's are so close, as far as technical specs, that ordinary viewers couldn't identify one from another. When flat screens first went on the market, a few years ago, these technical numbers change so much and so rapidly as new televisions were unveiled, they did make a difference. These days, all of them are so similar, and the televisions perform so well, that it doesn't matter.

First generation televisions had a problem with ghosting, which is the image trailing on the screen so that it seems blurry. The older televisions also had an issue with the pictures burning into the display screen and with pixels burning out or keeping lit at all times. Newer models have resolved many of the issues and these problems are extremely rare. Old televisions were also a tad bulkier, and occupied more space, and weren't as cool looking as their newer equivalents.

New televisions are reasonably priced and they all have roughly the same options and specs, the only thing to look careful at is the amount of HDMI slots and the resolution. Many people won't recognize the difference between 720 an 1080; basically, the higher the number, the greater the resolution. For those who buy anything less than 32", you really don't need to be concerned about that because the naked eye can't tell the difference.
