That is 'current' tips,…not exclusively ” c u r r e n t ” tips,….though applicable to both. If there's one thing that actually sorta makes sense to buy on Black Friday, it's an HDTV—many are crazy discounted. But picking out an HDTV can be a big ball of suck. That's where this guide comes in. The 3DTV cheat Want to buy a set knowing that it'll have excellent performance without having to do a ton of poking and prodding? Buy a 3DTV. The thing about 3DTVs, says HD Guru's Gary Merson is that in order to do 3D competently, they “have to do certain things really really well.” 3D sets are, generally speaking, the best performing sets in the product line. So even if you never intend to watch a single piece of 3D content, it's worth considering a 3DTV. Because the set's delivering different images for the left eye and the right eye (here's a refresher on how 3D works) it has to be able to switch the image it's displaying “very completely and very fast,” says Gary. The end result is a TV with better processing power and better performance. The main issue to look out for in 3DTVs is cross talk. Basically, cross talk is leakage—when the image for left eye shows up in the right eye, or vice versa, and you see ghost images. Depending on how much cross talk there is, you might even see two distinct images. And when it comes to no crosstalk, plasma sets beat the LCD competition. In fact, when it comes to 3D performance, plasma wins overall. – more – – – http://gizmodo.com/5698534/how-to-buy-an-hdtv?skyline=true&s=i THIS LINK ( is probably worth while as well ) “How Far Should You Sit From Your HDTV” ? A great topic that was made possible with thanks to poll conducted by the guys (and girls?) over at Gizmodo – How far away do you sit from your HDTV? And what is the optimal viewing distance? As the results revealed, many of you are sitting too far away from your HDTV set to take in the benefits of the precision ‘definition’ that make up those crystal-clear images. 60% of the respondents with 40-inches 1080i/1080p HDTV sets, were sitting over 6 ft away from the screen, almost a foot to far away, according to the Lechner Distance chart. – more – – – http://www.hightech-edge.com/optimal-viewing-distance-hdtv-screen-size-lechner-d… added by: remanns
