5 Tips for The Superbowl and Your TV

Now is the time that everyone is out buying that new big screen TV. They want to watch the Superbowl in style and hi definition. But sometimes people get really overexcited about buying their TV and tend to make a few huge mistakes that create more of a hassle then a fun game experience. I have five tips that will help you get the most out of your TV buying experience.

1. Measure everything! This is the most important step. Measure the space you want the TV to go, measure the entry door, ceiling height and any entry ways or interior doors you will have to move this TV though. Most people do not do this step and it cost them time and money

2. Research TV’s on the internet, even if you have to go to the library to do it. You need to know what is out there and what you want. The sales person will always try to make you buy the next thing up.

3. A big TV is great, but if people can’t see it because of a bad furniture arrangement or it’s so big you can’t see the whole screen because your only 5ft from it you may want to look at something smaller. That is why tip number 1 is so important.

4. Decide what type of TV you want, the two most common types today are LCD and Plasma. For both of these I would recommend going to a few stores and looking at them. Make sure there is nothing about the screen, color or picture that bothers you. You really need to stand and watch these TV’s for a while too.

5. Change the display settings when you get home. The bright TV may look great in the store, but you don’t need or want it that bright in your home. It cost way too much money and the picture could actually be worse then a lower setting. Play with the settings to find one that works for you.
