Fortunately, for everyone looking to but a new high definition television, there is bound to be an HDTV guide that answers all of your questions. Equally unfortunate, is that most of the guides are filled with technology information that most consumers will not understand or even care about. Sure, there are a few who will care about the number of pixels being displayed on the their new screen and hoe each of the pixel is illuminated, but the vast majority simply want an HDTV guide to tell them how to get the best picture from their new television.

That is an easy question to answer. It is estimated that about 80 percent of the consumers who have purchased a high definition television are not watch HDTV because they do not have the signal. Most cable, satellite and some local channel providers broadcast in high definition but unless the set top box is sending a digital signal to the television, the picture will show little improvement. A plain English HDTV guide will explain how to let your provider know you need a high definition signal.

Many of the HDTV guide choices may offer reference to specific brands, but for the most part that is going to be by consumer choice. Your individual experience with a brand may make you love or loathe the name, despite their reputation in an HDTV guide.

Best Guide Is One You Can See

With many of the big screen high definition televisions costing a thousand dollars or more, the decision should not be made lightly. Some people have a television that cost as much as a used car and put more time into choosing the car. Buying a new HDTV should be at least a two-visit process, where you go to the store and look at televisions that have the best picture, in your opinion, then you go back home, find in online HDTV guide and compare the models you looked at in the store.

As you look through the HDTV guide it will make size recommendations based on how far you will be sitting from the screen. Measure the distance from your favorite chair to where the television will be placed and when at the store, stay that far from the display. Also look for the side angle of viewing. You will likely sit in front of the television, but check out the HDTV guide to see how far to one side you can go before the picture begins to fade.
