If you understand all terms and lingo, this tool is for you.

Before you run out to make a purchase, there are some things that you’ll need to consider in order to make best decision regarding a new unit for your home. Take a good look at size and layout of room that will house plasma TV. If room isn’t overly large – or if you have an apartment dwelling – then a 42” screen should do trick. For larger rooms, upper range screen sizes (in excess of 60”) would probably work best.

Pricing is determined by size of unit, as well as manufacturer. If, for instance, you purchase a model from Pioneer, Sony or Panasonic, you can expect to see a higher price tag. On other hand, quality of these units exceeds that of their competitors, so it’s all relevant. Ranked among best of plasma TVs is Sony 42XBR, offering outstanding visuals and state-of-the-art operating tools.

You’ll probably find lower prices when shopping on internet, but be sure to look for Better Business Bureau seal on website – which is represented by a BBB linked logo – or you can’t be sure that it’s not going to be a fraudulent (or, at least, substandard) transaction.
