The holiday season always seems to sneak up. If you’re still tracking down the ideal Christmas present for a gamer, soap addict, or sports fan, have you considered buying them a flat-panel TV? Modern LCD and plasma TVs are becoming increasingly affordable, but choosing exactly the right model seems like a herculean task.
You’ll be pleased to hear that we’ve been cracking out TV-buying advice for years! Our LCD and Plasma TV Buying Guide, for example, helps you choose the right size, resolution, and screen type. We’ll help to base your decision on what the TV will be used for – films, sports, gaming, general TV viewing – and where it will be used – in a small, bright living room or a dark home cinema, for example.
On top of that, our manufacturer overviews describe the whole current selection from the top manufacturers – you’ll find the various links for Philips, Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic, and Samsung in the “Featured Brands” list on the Televisions.com home page.
Remember that you don’t need to buy a brand-new model – you might find the ideal TV in a stock-clearance sale or available second-hand. Deals often crop up just before the holidays, so waiting a few extra days can sometimes pay off. If you do decide to buy an older model, check out our huge back catalogue of TV reviews.
And don’t forget to recycle the old one in the new year! For practical tips on recycling your TV, check out What to do with old CRT TVs?.
