The Simplified Guide to Buying a New HDTV System

by , 12:05 PM EST, November 21st, 2008

This holiday season, many people will be delving into HDTV for the first time -- perhaps on a tight budget. With Black Friday just around the corner, and some amazing deals likely to be offered, the newbie buyer needs a lot of help wading through the new HDTV technology. At the iPod Observer, John Martellaro has written a Simplified Guide to HDTV Buying for the newbie.

Topics covered include:

Rear projection TVs vs. thin, flat screens.
Plasma or LCD?
What to watch out for on discount HDTVs.
Considerations for the audio part of HDTV.
How to evaluate HDTVs in the show room.

As an experiment, each section of the Simplified Guide has a link to a second article with more details if the reader wants to know just a little more on each subject. Just click on the link "More details" in the Simplified Guide to find out more, then go back to the original article to continue reading.
