Tis the season for a new TV. Every year the deals for brand new televisions sets get better and better. Don’t worry if you missed out on the Black Friday door busters. You might be surprised to discover that those very same deals can be yours without camping out on the sidewalk. If this will be your first journey into the wonderful world of HDTV you’ll want to take note of a few things to be on the lookout for.
HDTV stands for High Definition Television. It refers to the picture and sound quality that is going to be delivered to you in this digital age we’re living in. The minimum quality of HDTV to look for is one that has 1280 x 720 pixels. A pixel is a point of light. The more points of light, the sharper the picture. You also want to check the plug-in ports. This is where you’ll be hooking up your DVD and/or Blu-Ray player. The best option is a HDMI connection. This is a simple plug in utilizing a special cable running between the machines and it will afford you the highest quality picture and sound for your playback. Most new HDTVs come with this kind of port as standard but it’s always good to double check.
You’re also going to discover that “slim is in” when it comes to the new design of TVs. Gone are those old tube types. In fact, you might not even be able to find them in the stores! Instead, you can treat your new TV like a painting and hang it on the wall. If you prefer there are plenty of stylish stand options for the TV as well. Your new HDTV might also have to be adjusted for your picture quality preference. There are different settings that adjust the color and brightness depending on the type of program you’re watching. There might be a setting for sports, cinema or natural viewing. Try them all out to see which is going to be the perfect fit. And as long as you’re going HDTV you might as well kick in for surround sound, too! There are plenty of “Home Theater in a Box” type of systems that let you plug and play with very little set up hassle. You’re going to need some external speakers but they should all be part of that kit.

You’re favorite shopping partner this holiday season could be a smart phone app. There are dozens of scanner apps that let you wander into a nearby Raleigh store and take a picture of a product’s UPC bar code. The app then shows you if you can get that item at a better price somewhere else. What’s great is that armed with that information, you might be able to convince the store to sell you the item at the discount price. Chances are you’ll get the deal because they want to keep you in the store. This would make you a very smart shopper indeed.
