Welcome to TV-Reviews.Info!


If you are in the market for a LCD television we will try to help you make an educated choice about what model to choose. You can use our LCD Television Reviews database to find all of the reviews available on the internet for different LCD television models. We will also have the latest news and information above LCD televisions and LCD television manufacturers.



 

LCD Television Manufacturers

Sony LCD TVThere are three basic tiers of LCD television manufacturers. The top tier includes the well known brands like Samsung, Sharp, Sony, LG, Panasonic, Hitachi, and Toshiba. These brands usually have the best models, but are the most expensive in price. The 2nd tier would include models such as Vizio, Olevia, and Envision. These brands have some solid models at decent prices. The third tier would be the bargain models such as Soyo, Insignia, and Dynex. These models will have great prices, but lesser quality than the upper tier brands.

While generally the higher tier manufactures put out the best LCD televisions, this is not always the case. Sometimes a Vizio model might be a better purchase than a Sony model. This is why it is important to do research on the models before you purchase. Once you narrow down the models you are interested in, make sure and use the LCD Television Reviews database to find information on the models you are comparing.

 

Refurbished BoxRefurbished LCD Televisions

If you are willing to take a chance on not having a long term warranty, you can get some great deals on refurbished LCD televisions. A refurbished item is an item that has been returned to the manufacturer for some reason, then it is reconditioned back to a fully working condition if needed and resold. These could have been returned for a number of reasons. There might have been a scratch on the screen, or the power supply might have died when first turned on, or any number of other reasons. These problems are fixed and the products resold at greatly reduced prices. While you can get a LCD television at a substantially reduced cost, there are risks in buying refurbished products. One risk is that you usually will not receive a full factory warranty for the products. The warranty usually is something along the line of 90 days. Another risk is that the problem that caused the unit to go back to the factory was not completely solved by the manufacturer and re-occurs. We have found this to be a very rare occurrence, but even if it's a new problem that crops up, the lack of a full warranty could be a significant problem. Checking the LCD Television Reviews database for the model you are looking at will give you a good idea on whether to expect problems with the television.

 

HDMI Cables vs Component Cables

HDMI CableShould you use an HDMI or Component cable when connecting your LCD Television to your HD receiver? Either one will give you great picture quality, but HDMI is probably the better connection to use if you have a choice. HDMI delivers the signal in digital format, while Component uses analog. While most people immediately assume digital is always better than analog, this is not always the case. There are some circumstances where component cables might actually work better than HDMI. For instance component tends to work better at longer distances (> 20ft). In all actuality, you would have a hard time telling which is which if comparing two identical setups and will be happy with either one.

Where to purchase your LCD Television

If you decide to purchase your LCD television on the internet, you can find some great prices, but there are some things to keep in mind. Always keep the shipping price in mind. Sometimes sites will give you a great price on the Walmart StoreLCD television and then make up the difference in the shipping charge. When comparing prices, always add the television to the store's cart so you can see what the shipping charges are. Then combine the LCD television price with the shipping charge when comparing two stores. Sometimes a website like Walmart.com can have a slightly higher price, but if you use their Free Shipping with Site to Store feature, the final price will actually be cheaper.
