Looking to buy a flat screen TV to replace digital converter box. Suggestions?
Posted on Mar 06, 2010 under Digital news and reports |Hi-I finally decided to ditch the digital converter box and upgrade my TV to a flat screen! I have no idea what any of the TV jargon means, can anyone explain LCD, HDTV, resolution, etc? We’re looking at a Vizio 37" Class Eco 1080p 60Hz LCD HDTV, VO370M…which seems like a good choice, but again not exactly clear about the details. Sold at walmart. We don’t have cable, if that makes a difference. Thanks for your help and insight!

LCD screen is similar to what you see on a laptop or a flat-panel desktop computer monitor.
As for resultion? 720p is half HD and 1080p is full HD. You notice the difference as the screen gets bigger (I’d say about 42"+.)
I’m sure that choice will be great. Vizio TVs are quickly gaining positive reviews and is the #1 most sold TV brand in the nation (for having such an affordable price.)
Plus, my aunt has a VIZIO in one of the rooms and she loves it! It still works to this day and she’s had it for 2 years roughly.

Well, there is no point in purchasing an HDTV if you can’t receive an HD signal! Which means you’ll need to sign up with a cable company (Time Warner) or a satellite service (DirecTV).

unless you dont make alot of money then get a better tv. im not gonna explain a lcd tv cause you can just google that but i can explain other stuff. a hdtv is a tv with a high resolution which is 720p and above, 720p is good for tvs smaller then 46 inches and you want 1080p if you getting 46 inches or more. resolution is the amount of pixels the more pixels there are the better picture you get. for example if a lcd monitor or a tv is 1200×1080 pixels then its 1080p 1200×720 is 720p. the hz is the refresh rate, most new tvs have 240hz and some 120hz 60 isint very common and i suggest you get a tv with atleast 120hz which will give you smoother video playback. also you tv will have a response time if you game you want 8ms or under 2ms is ideal. if i where you i would get a better brand like samsung or sony, or lg, if you on a budget then get a lg ther more then vizio but there cheaper then samsung and sony ect. plus there pretty good. good luck hope this helps. aslo if you loaded i would get a led backlit tv with local dimming, 240hz, 2ms response time and 3d capability not out yet and will cost you close to 5 grand
