I Want My HDTV at Forbes.com
My article on HDTVs that would be suitable for dorm rooms or college suites ran tonight at Forbes.com.
If you’re a college student heading back to school after a summer of enjoying your parents’ big-screen, high-definition television, this is a good guide to figuring out how to find an affordable HDTV that will fit in your academic-year living space.
Cost is obviously a factor. Don’t waste money on bells-and-whistles like 1080p (unless you’re really saving money by going the DLP route). For an LCD or Plasma under 50-inches, 1080p is overkill and will cost you more than it is worth. I do include one exception, a Sharp TV that’s 1080p at 32-inches; some people really want that high-resolution, and that model TV is meant for gamers. If you’re really dying for a big screen at a low price, the aformentioned DLP technology is the best bang for the buck, though it has its drawbacks.
Check out the article. There’s lots of good information.
