A digital television is a television in which digital signal processing is carried out. Nowadays, this group includes almost all manufactured devices. When choosing such a TV, you have to be guided by a number of criteria.
Instructions
Step 1
Check out the definition of digital TV. This is the name of the apparatus in which digital signal processing is carried out before they are fed to the display device. A television can be digital even though it can only receive analog signals. But a device in which only tuning is carried out in a digital way cannot be attributed to this group. Any plasma or LCD TV is digital because it contains a digital image scaler called a scaler.
Step 2
The choice of display technology depends on how much you are willing to pay per month for the electricity consumed by the TV. Plasma devices consume the highest power at the same screen size, the lowest - liquid crystal devices. An intermediate position between them in this parameter is occupied by picture tubes.
Step 3
Choose your screen size based on the visual acuity of all family members. Even if it seems to you that a small TV is enough for you, ask your household if it will be convenient for them to watch programs on a small screen. But remember that very large TVs, even with the most economical display technology (LCD), can consume significant power.
Step 4
Remember what devices you want to connect to the machine. Depending on this, choose a TV with the desired combination of inputs: composite, S-Video, VGA, DVI, HDMI.
Step 5
It is highly desirable that the digital TV and the tuner are designed to receive digital signals (DVB-T standard). In a few years, analogue television broadcasting in Russia will be completely canceled. However, in in-house cable networks it will remain for a long time, besides, digital signals can be received on a regular TV using a special inexpensive set-top box.
Step 6
Consider purchasing a device with a function for displaying videos from the YouTube site. It is enough to connect it to a free socket of the router - and you can watch such videos by selecting them from a regular remote control. Of course, Internet access must be unlimited for this.
