Honest Plasma TV Ratings

Bezel frame width is an important consideration when looking at plasma TVs. They start at practically non-existent and climb to a total of 2.75 inches, so if rimless is important to you, examine the TV while it is turned both on and off to experience the effect of the bezel frame on your view. Does the TV include a stand? This is important to notice, you need to know if you are going to have to buy a stand later to hold the television. There should be a way to attach speakers if you want, enhancing your audio after you have splurged on the newest TV you dare afford is the icing on the cake. A way to attach DVI or other computer mediums is something to look for. You may want the option of using this like a computer monitor in the future as well as being able to transfer data from various computer channels if you choose. Maybe there is a slot for and SD memory card to view digital camera photos or camcorder on the set. Many sets include this feature. The size of the screen determines what the optimum viewing distance will be. For instance a 58 inch screen is best viewed from a distance of 15 feet. The remote control should be reasonably easy to use, maybe designed with all or at least partially large buttons, so you can reach them in the dark if you want. Plasma TVs are noted for their ability to handle dark things well, most any of the sets beat out the competition on this one. Plasma TVs typically have some problem with screen glare, but many companies are implementing new designs as in a gray screen covering that matches the bordered rim of the screen or an anti-reflective filter which can reduce any glare without lowering the contrast of the picture. The viewing angle that is considered optimum or perfect is 170 degrees and most plasma sets on the market measure up to this standard. Many of the sets have multiple HDMI connections, which is very nice. Probably, though, the most important thing you want to look for is the size of set that will fit into your environment comfortably.
