Information About Big Screen Televisions

Big Screen TV Info  One of our goals in building this site is to make it one of the best big screen TV comparison shopping websites out there.  We showcase only the very best big screen TVs on the market today from the top TV manufacturers.  Buying a big screen TV is tough enough without having to sort through brands that you've never even heard of!

50 Inch Televisions And Larger  For the purposes of this site, a big screen TV has a diagonal screen size measurement of at least 50 inches or more.  That eliminates any conventional picture tube televisions.  A big screen television is only appropriate for medium and larger size rooms.  If you are unsure of the right screen size for your room, see the TV viewing distance page.

Most flat panel plasma and LCD televisions measure less than 5 inches in depth and can be mounted on your wall!

Rear projection big screen TVs are bigger and bulkier than flat panel televisions, but offer much larger screen sizes for less cash.  Some of the best big screen television brands you can buy include  models with diagonal TV screen sizes of more than 70 inches!  You may want to check out big screen TV entertainment centers before you decide on the best television screen size and room location.

If you want the biggest, most movie theater-like experience possible, you should consider a dedicated home theater room with front projection screen and home theater projector.  Today's best advanced digital projectors can project incredible 7 to 20 foot HD video without most of the headaches and maintenance of older CRT projectors.  You need to have a large room and complete control of extraneous lighting to get the highest contrast big screen picture.  (You can even have your home theater system set up so you can control lighting, curtains, and projection screens at the touch of a button!)  Don't forget to buy a good quality projector screen.

While most big screen TVs available today include a built in HDTV tuner, virtually every projector on the market today lacks an integrated HD tuner, so you must connect an external HDTV receiver to the projector before you can view HD programming.

Of course, you'll also want to connect your new big screen television to a home theater receiver and surround sound speaker system.  Comfortable home theater seating is also a great idea for the maximum enjoyment while watching movies and sporting events in your big screen home theater system.
