How To Buy A Television

Daisy asked:


I’m about to upgrade to an LCD TV. I’ve always had a separate freeview box attached to my TV. Two things:

How does the integrated Freeview work on LCD TVs?

Do I need to set up and pay a subscription to Sky for it, or is it a one off payment (within the price of the TV package when you first buy it) and that’s that, you have access to Freeview for as long as the TV works?

The bottom right hand corner of my Sony LCD TV (Bravia) cracked suddenly while I was watching TV. The display was distorted from the bottom right hand corner to the top. Actually I wonder if this could be repaired afterall.

While watching my 2 year old samsung LCD tv, several clusters of pixels (6 of them roughly 4″x4″ each) began to gradually flicker rapidly back and fourth with different colors that do not match the rest of picture- it looks like little chunks of colorful static in several locations. Ideas as to the problem? Fixable without replacing the LCD?

What is the difference between an LED and LCD TV? Which one is a better choice for the money/time it will last/overall best picture? Also, must be able to get TV in about a 20in or so in size. And what would be the best brand and good price?

How much more energy does a Plasma TV consumer compared to a LCD TV? Everyone says Plasma consumes more energy than a LCD, but by how much? Twice as much as a LCD? Newer versions of plasmas are now ‘Energy Certified”, does that mean they still consumer more energy than LCD, but overall, does not take that much compared to a traditional CRT TV?

I am not sure why I have so much trouble with my Monster Screen cleaner but for some reason I am always getting streaks. I have a “40″ inch Samsung LCD tv and I only clean the tv when it is obvious that it needs to be cleaned. But everytime I use it whether I spray it on the screen or I apply it to the cloth and apply it in a circular motion I am still getting STREAKS! What is the secret?

I want to buy a new tv but im slightly confused about which to get? What are the advantages of an LCD to a Plasma? The plasmas seem cheaper than LCDs so does this mean LCDS are now better? HElP!

Matt asked:


Is it safe to mount an lcd tv bracket for a 40″ tv to plaster board and then hang the tv on it.

As all the solid walls im planning on putting it on is too inconvenient. Would i need some sort of butterfly wallplug, which is a bolt with a bit on the end which opens up inside the wall, i would get my dad to do it but hes a bit of a cowboy. What way would i go about it?

Thanks!
