LCD TVs are more affordable than ever – the rapid adoption of LCD TVs by most consumers has caused a number of manufacturers to enter the marketplace. Sceptre, a worldwide consumer electronics company, makes a variety of LCD TVs in addition to other products like Sceptre LCD TV wall mounts, laptops, computer cameras, and other electronics gear. If you’re interested in a Sceptre LCD TV, here’s an easy way to decide on the Sceptre LCD TV model that fits your viewing habits.
-Pick the right screen size. Choosing the screen size when you buy a Sceptre LCD TV is probably the most important decision you’ll make. If the screen is too small you won’t get the full effect of the programs and movies you watch, and if it’s too large it can overwhelm a small room and make viewing uncomfortable. A simple way to tell if you're sitting too close to the screen is to see if you get distracted by the pixels that make up the image; if you can see them, you’re sitting too close. Don’t buy a Sceptre LCD TV that’s too large; it will be overwhelming instead of enjoyable. You can match the screen size to your room. Check out the room where you’ll install the Sceptre LCD TV, think about where you might put it, and get out your measuring tape. Once you know the distances involved, use this guide to see how far away you’ll need to be: Size of LCD screen Prime Viewing Distance 30” 6.5’ 35” 7.5’ 40” 8.5’ 45” 9.5’ 50” 10.5 55” 11.5’ 60” 12.5’ 65” 14’ -Pick the screen resolution you need. High definition is the best choice if you want to buy a Sceptre LCD TV with the best image quality. The picture quality is stunning, especially on a large, wide-screen Sceptre TV. HD is a digital-TV format that can offer almost-lifelike clarity, because HD images contain more and finer detail than other formats. In technical terms, they have higher resolution, or more picture elements making up each image. If you buy a Sceptre LCD TV with high definition capability you’re getting the best image quality available. Standard definition, which is the type of TV consumers have watched for years, has much less detail. These are analog signals with resolution of 480i (480 lines drawn onscreen in an interlaced pattern), the format in which TV content is delivered over regular analog broadcasts and basic (non-digital) cable. On the best TVs, the picture quality can be very good or even excellent, but it doesn't compare to the best that HD can offer. Most standard-definition TVs now on the market are picture-tube sets, but some LCD flat panel TVs in standard-definition are also still available. Your best bet is to buy a Sceptre LCD TV with high definition capability. -Pick which connections options you need. Which video components do you have now or do you plan to add later on? At the very least you'll probably want to be able to connect your antenna or cable box, plus a DVD player and VCR. Other possibilities include a satellite TV receiver, video game system, or TiVo hard disk recorder. And if you use a camcorder, you'll definitely want a set of front-panel A/V inputs on your new Sceptre LCD TV. Here’s a guide to different types of video input and the connections your Sceptre LCD TV will need to have to support them. A Sceptre LCD TV may not be a “brand name” LCD TV, but if you’re looking for a good deal on a quality TV, Sceptre may be the right choice for you. |
