How To Save Money On An HDTV

With the recession, saving money on anything is a priority right now. Here are some useful tips on how to decide which HDTV to buy.

Find plenty of information on the TV you are wanting to purchase. Check it has all the features you require, find out which size screen would be most ideal.

1) Buy 720p or 1080i instead of 1080p when purchasing a 32 inch or smaller.

Anyone can debate the advantages of 1080p over 1080i and 720p, but real truth of the matter is that 1080p really isn't important until getting into the larger screen sizes, above 32". Buying 1080p at 32" or below is pointless and a waste of money if a similar 720p/1080i model is available for a hundred pounds less.

2) Pick a decent brand. There a literally loads of makes out there to choose from, Sony Bravia and Samsung are popular makes, however, there are many other good makes out there such as LG, Toshiba and Panasonic. Do some research and find out what reviews they receive.

3) Do you need an extended warranty? Generally its not worth paying extra for an extended warranty. Ask yourself, will you be paying more for the extended warranty than the TV will be worth in the coming years? The answer is usually, yes.

4) Wait for the next model to come out and then get the previous model. As soon as a new model comes out, the previous models demand instantly drops, followed by a price drop. This is a great time to get a HDTV.

5) Buy refurbished. Save loads when buying a refurbished HDTV, they usually cine with decent warranties. A returned TV with a slight scratch could save you 100.
