With the popularity of big screen televisions and being LCD TVs a staple appliance in home entertainment, more and more shops are offering various models of flat screen televisions. But of course, certain brands remain to be on the top of the market. Most experts claim that the brand Samsung belongs to the Top 3 manufacturers of LCD TV. And most probably, Samsung brand takes the number one spot.
And while more and more local shops make LCD TVs available for everybody, the Internet is also taking part in this home entertainment rave. Several online shops have introduced LCD TVs as part of their products. They also hold bargain days and put some of the newer models of LCD TV at cheaper prices. You can now shop right at the comforts of your own home.

But as always, the brand can only guarantee quality for its name. The consumers still have to know certain features and specifications so they can get the best model of LCD TV for their home. As they say, different strokes for different folks. And since we have varied wants and needs in our home entertainment system, television manufacturers including LCD TV brand manufacturers have made different models for our diverse needs.
Here are seven simple factors that you should remember to consider when looking for an LCD TV:
1. Think about the size. How big would you want your TV to be? What is the room size? Does the size of the LCD TV fit the room size? Make sure that the size of your LCD TV is good enough for the number of viewers and the size of your room. It is very important to consider the available space you have. You wouldn't want to watch a couple of inches away from an extra large screen, right? Measure the distance of the sitting area and the distance of where you want to put the TV. Most experts recommend that the sitting area is 1.5 to 3 times the size of the LCD TV. This is supposed to give a better viewing experience. Take for example an 8-feet or 96-inches viewing distance; the LCD screen should be not less than 32 inches and not more than 63 inches.
2. Identify the specific features you want your LCD TV to have. Not all LCD TVs are made the same. That is why we have various models to choose from. Do you want your LCD to have crisper pictures? Is a slow refresh rate fine with you? There are actually several features that you can choose from. Samsung models such as the Samsung Ln52A860 has a 1080p TV feature. If you are fond of watching sports games and action movies, you may want to consider a model with a low response time. The Samsung Ln40A750 has 1080p and 120 Hz making it suitable for the sports and movies-oriented individuals. Among other features that you may take into consideration is the overall design of the TV. Samsung also have this Touch of Red model that has a very sophisticated design.
3. Set your budget. Of course price is as important as the features and the overall look of the LCD TV. Look at different reviews and you will notice that most experts believe that LCD TV prices are cheaper when you purchase online. Most local stores' overhead costs are quite steep; they cannot probably match the cost of products at online stores. Notice how the exact same model is priced higher at your local shop than an online store. It is therefore suggested that consumers take advantage of the numerous offers from online stores. You could really get some savings there, especially if you want to purchase a model on the high-end line.
4. Consider the reputation of the brand and the retailer. Of course purchasing from a good brand somehow assures good quality since the brand will never let their good reputation and marketing standard be ruined that easy. But most importantly, consider as well the reputation of the store. Check feedback and other consumer's report on their customer service, warranty, and the like.
5. Check the product warranty. It is imperative that you attach importance to product warranty because it gives value to your hard-earned money. This ensures that you are getting what you actually paid for. Return policy is very important in case your LCD TV gets damaged when shipped to your home. This policy is necessary for online purchase. Also, if your product unexpectedly stops working properly, warranty will cover such damages.
6. If you have decided to purchase online, set shipping agreements. This agreement will ensure that you will get your order in perfect condition. And if it comes to you damaged, the store has to replace it free of charge. Set the actual shipping costs; bargain if you can. Note if the LCD TV will be directly delivered to your home or you will pick it up in a store's branch. Identify who will settle handling fees, storage fees, and other custom taxes. Finally, when the TV is delivered to you, know who will do the set-up.
7. Check the other accessories included in the purchase. Are the cables, remote control, other accessories included in the purchase? Is extended warranty available? Note, however, that extended warranties may not really be necessary. Most LCD TVs today are made of good quality and brands are really reliable. In this case, an extended warranty's extra cost may be unnecessary. Also, do not let yourself be fooled by cords and cables that are only optional. Some stores press on the purchase of cables that, they say, you may use for better audio and video experience. Actually, there is a very little difference between these cable cords. So in your LCD TV purchase, if there is an actual need for a different cord - say one for HDMI, ask for a discount on your online purchase. Generally, online shops are more generous with discounts and price-cuts that local stores.
Some would say that mall shopping is better than online shopping since there is less help from online manufacturers. That may be true during the past years. Online shops' customer service has been greatly improved. You could also do necessary research over the Internet before finally going to the local store and purchase a certain model. Still, there are advantages to shopping online. A consumer only has to know how to take full advantage of the information available over the Internet.
So here are the things you need to consider when buying an LCD TV. Obtaining an LCD TV from an online store seems to be a better way of purchase since the unit will be expediently shipped to your doorstep. Purchases from online stores are also more likely to have price reductions. Go online, check the specs you want, and then check some online stores and you are on your way to acquiring that perfect Samsung LCD TV.
