Buying A Panasonic TX-L37S10 Takes Some Education

By Erica Hall

Buying a TV requires some knowledge about the difference in TVs. There are literally hundreds of new types and brand names, different shapes, multiple sizes, and thousands of features and accessories to choose from. You should at least have a working knowledge of the difference in the basic functions before going off on a TV shopping adventure.

You may run into questions like 'do you need, or do you want, an S-video input'? What about some RCA jacks, do you think you'll need those? And a digital comb filter, is that absolutely necessary? More questions than these can arise when you get into the different types and uses of the today TV. So learning a little about them goes a long way in your decision.

America seems to be sold on the idea that bigger things are better things. But is this a reality in shopping for a TV? There are some small TVs that you can't see through a squint, and some large ones that are so blurred you feel you need to sit a block away. So knowing what size fits the room you're going to put it in goes a long way with deciding your viewing quality.

TV sizes are obtained by measuring diagonally across the screen. Remember that a flat-panel TV is not going to take up as much space as a regular TV. You can even hang a flat-panel on the wall and not even consider your furniture layout except for looks.

If you're considering a large screen of 40 inches or more, you might take a look at a rear-projection CRT. What they do is form a combination screen/projector and add them within one single box. The image is thrown onto the back of the screen by the projector, and then you're able to view it from in front.

There are three cathode ray tubes that make up the colors of blue, red, and green that get thrown onto the projection screen. Home theaters have been the biggest advocates of this type of TV. Some of the advantages for you are getting the biggest screen for your money with great picture quality and good black level.

A few of the disadvantages of these giants are their heaviness and deepness, and the fact that they can't be watched under bright light. They're tough to maintain, and the have quite a slim angle of viewing. But they still deliver quality color viewing and have been used for years by countless thousands.

Now take your flat panel plasma TVs on the other hand. They're rolling out of the stores like wildfire. They're slim and have large screens, which makes them ever popular with consumers. You have your choice of either 'LCD' or 'Plasma'. The LCDs function much like a laptop computer. And the Plasma TVs operate by lighting up thousands of little small fluorescent lights.

Buying a TV such as the Panasonic TX-L37S10 takes some education, but this wall is easily climbed with just a little reading and research. Again, it's the basic differences in how they operate that separate them the most. All the added features then become matters of taste and personal preference. So go prepared when you begin your search, and get the best value for your dollar, and the best quality for your viewing.
