WOODBURY, N.Y., Aug. 29, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- With the start of football season right around the corner, DemystifyingDigital.com, the Web site dedicated to helping consumers make sense of today's technology, today announced recommended tips and televisions to help fans enjoy all the action this football season.
"With prices lower and image quality better than ever, people today are increasingly considering the purchase of a high definition television. However, with all the options and confusing acronyms out there, it's no wonder that a large majority of them are too intimidated to actually put down their money," said Dan Havlik, Editor, DemystifyingDigital.com. "DemystifyingDigital.com is dedicated to helping people understand technology in basic language. Our special sections about HDTVs will help consumers understand their options and the questions to ask before buying."
Among the tips that DemystifyingDigital.com offers is:
* Choose Your Resolution: There are several resolution options available -- 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. While 1080p TVs offer the highest resolution, there's only limited high-def content available at that level so 720p, and 1080i sets are still very viable choices. But if you have a little extra money under your pillow, it might be worth considering investing in a 1080p set since your TV will be with you for many years to come * Assess Room Conditions: Generally speaking, plasma televisions tend to be optimized in low light environments, whereas LCD-TVs are optimized in well lit rooms * Size Matters: When it comes to high-definition televisions, size definitely matters. Look at your room. Put your ego aside. Don't go too big just to make a statement. On the other hand, football looks great on a nice big TV!
DemystifyingDigital.com recommends the following high-definition televisions:
* Panasonic TH-50PX77U Plasma: While there is a lot to choose from in Panasonic's lineup of Plasma HDTVs, we love the 50-inch TH-50PX77U and its EZ Sync function that lets you control all your home theater components with the touch of one button on your remote. The TH-50PX77U's GalleryPlayer feature is also great for displaying your digital photography up on the big screen. $2,199 * Sharp LC-32D40U LCD: If you don't want to break the bank on an HDTV but still want great quality, the Sharp LC-32D40U is a steal. This 32-inch liquid crystal HDTV continues Sharp's reputation for producing a very bright picture and accurate colors. The set is attractively designed, black exterior also boasts two built-in speakers. $700 * Sony KDS-60A2020 Rear Projection: The Sony KDS-60A2020 has an incredible image quality, producing deep blacks and excellent shadow detail. At 60 inches, it is both big and chic, providing football fans all the style, superiority and substance of a Sony. $2,599
