Image Conscious About Your new TV?

Imagine this – You just bought an awesome new 50 inch plasma, high definition TV and you have it installed in your house and everything. Then, you go about changing all of the settings on the TV to look perfect. Then, out of your surprise, your TV goes black. You know why? You accidentally turned the brightness to zero. Now, standing there worried, you wonder, How am I supposed to change anything when I can’t see it? You have now just accomplished one thing – turning your new thousand dollar Television to a useless piece of good looking furniture, that does…nothing…but sit there and look good.

Now, lets go through this again, except with New TVs that make it easier to get a perfect picture. As the trend of just owning a new Flatscreen TV is wearing off, more people are caring how much the picture actually looks.

Most TVs now have a user menu that does very little, and a hidden menu where you can permanently ruin your set. Now, LG is offering you a break on their new 1.7 inch thin TV sets, some of the thinnest in the world. For example, you can adjust the brightness, and the TV won’t let the screen go completely black or accidentally erase the factory settings. (LG 60 series – see it at www.us.lge.com, $3,000, 47 inches)

Sharp’s new LCD TVs connect to the internet so tech support can adjust them remotely for you. By asking a few facts over the phone, such as the brightness of the room, or what you watch(such as movies, sports, news, etc.) they can optimize the picture for you from your own opinion of how it should look. They can even see if your cable or DVD player is connected properly. (Sharp Aquos LC-46se94U – at sharpusa.com, $3,200, 46 inches)

Now, television makers can take the guesswork out of having to adjust image settings, so you don’t have to. They can help you produce sharper richer images, so you don’t have to higher a professional.
