Which type of television set is best?
 

We are currently being told to buy televisions with Plasma and Liquid Crystal displays.

The people who are telling us to but these types of television are the people who sell them.
There lies the clue!

The best advice you can get is from someone who is NOT going to take your money...
...so here is our advice.

For more information or advice: telephone 0783 672 6036 (0900hrs. to 1700hrs. Monday-Friday)
or 0191 251 9000 (0600hrs. to 0800hrs. Tuesday-Saturday)

 

1. The first question you should ask yourself is, "Why do I want to buy a flat television?"
 

If your answer is: "Because I don't have room for a cathode ray tube set."...

...the answer is: "Yes, buy a new flat television, Plasma or LCD."

 

If your answer is: "Because I need to fit the television up on the wall."...

...the answer is probably: "Yes, buy a new flat television, Plasma or LCD."

 

If your answer is: "Because I want digital television."...

...the answer is probably: "No! Buy a digi-box (or set top digital receiver) for about £30."

Don't add to the destruction of the environment by trashing a perfectly good television.

 

If your answer is: "Because I want a better picture."...

...the answer is definitely: "No! Do not replace your cathode-ray tube (CRT) television with L.C.D. or Plasma."

The picture resolution on a conventional cathode-ray television is far superior to any 'flat' television. The picture definition is better on a L.C.D. or Plasma television, but definition does not give a better picture.

High Definition (or H.D.) improves L.C.D. and Plasma pictures, but does not, as yet, make the picture quality as good as a conventional C.R.T. television
