How much you want to spend, how big is the room where you will keep the TV, how long do you want to use it for, what all do you want to use the TV monitor for, and so on. Budget How much are you willing to shell out? TV's are available in a price range from rupees 8000 to rupees 750,000. It's screen size and the television technology that you essentially pay for. Having a clear budget helps in narrowing down the choices. Screen Size & TV Type Bigger screens always cost more. The more latest and greatest the TV technology is more expensive it's going to be. So you decide what matters to you. Those who want to be on the cutting edge and don't mind looking at a smaller screen should go for LCD TVs. But if you want to turn your family room into a large cinema hall with a big screen, LCD/Plasma are not your paramount needs, you don't don't mind the weight either, you will be happy with a projection TV. Having said that you must also consider your room size, and the distance between the viewers and the TV before settling on a TV screen size. Wide Screen vs. Regular Screen What we are used to seeing are regular screen TVs but the world is moving towards wide-screen TVs. In case of widescreen TV's the TV screen dimensions are 16:9 i.e. for every 9 inch of height there is 16 inch width. The regular screens are 4:3. Most TV programs and movies will be 16:9 and using 4:3 screen to view such programs will cause dark side bars. Wide screens are costlier than regular screens. You will get a bigger regular screen for the same price so you need to decide what matters to you.
