Considerations when buying TV LCDs and tv wall mounts

With so many TV LCDs on the market it’s difficult to tell which ones best for you. A great place to start is by considering the following five aspects of TV LCDs.

The first aspect is the viewing angle. If you often have friends over to watch TV, you’re going to want a wide viewing angle so everyone can see. Many TV LCDs suffer when being watched at wide angle – blacks tend to lighten and colours fade. Some, such as the Samsung LCD TV do better than others depending on the panel, so look out for those with In-Plane Switching panels, which help to reduce these effects.

Next is motion resolution. If you’re a big sports fan, you’ll want to find a tv that can handle fast sports action with minimal motion blur. The higher the motion resolution, the less blurring you’ll see on the tv.

Although plasma screens tend to deliver better motion resolution when compared to LCDs, there are plenty of TV LCD’s on the market that you’ll be very happy with. Many have motion-compensated frame interpolations up to 200Hz which come very close to plasmas with minimal artifacts; and with their slimmer size and lower power consumption, offer a much more rounded purchase.

Next up is built in HD freeview tuners. There are many free HD channels to enjoy now, including ITV HD and BBC HD and all you need is an aerial to enjoy them – no satellite dish needed!

Another important factor is the screen size. It’s always tempting to buy the largest TV you can afford, but consider your room size first. Sit too close and you’ll notice undesired video artifacts – sit too far away and you’ll lose the detail. Having too large a screen can also cause headaches and promote poor posture – having too small a screen can cause headaches.

Large screens, such as those larger than a 32 inch lcd tv, also weigh more and are more difficult to move if required. For added flexibility, consider investing in tv wall mounts. Professional tv wall mounts can support your TV with ease and allow a range of movement where required.

The resolution what you’re watching can also affect the viewing distance. Lower resolution programmes will need you to sit further away to avoid seeing compression and scaling artifacts. However, these effects are being lessened by today’s upscalers, which are doing a much better job than those a few years ago.

Conversely, higher resolutions will allow you to sit closer and enjoy the great detail that is HD TV. For detailed information on recommended viewing distances for your TV LCD, read our viewing distance post here.

Whichever TV LCD you choose, make sure it meets your requirements before purchasing. Take a trip to a local retailer and have a sit in front of a store TV at the same distance you would when at home, it’ll give you a great idea of which one works for you. Once you’ve found it, have a shop around, get it ordered, and start enjoying your new TV.
