Today’s Top TV Technolog (NAPSA)—Nothing’s black and white about today’s TVs, which comein all different shapes, sizes, and technologies. This season, consumers have choices ranging from traditional tube-type televisions to the latest wall mounted plasmas and LCDflat-panel monitors—many built for High-Definition (HD) programming, which is hot this season. HD televisions provide images in spectacularlifelike detail and clarity, turning your living room into a theaterquality screening room. Here’s a guide to help you to know what to look for when buying an HD-enabled television: * LCD TVs—tThesesleek, trendy TVsare traditionally small— from 15 to 30 inches diagonally— but provide a powerful viewing experience. Because they’re only a few inches deep, you can set them on a desktop or kitchen counter. These hi-tech panels are also compatible with your PC for everyday tasks, games or for showing friends your travel photos. * Plasma TVs—These flatpanel televisions are large (the most popular size is 42 inches), and thin, and are generally mounted on the wall or on a stand. The technology behind plasma TVs offers a colorful display with high brightness even in light-filled rooms, and the size offers a wider viewing angle than a traditional television. * Rear Projection and DLP TVs—Although these large TVs aren't as trim, they deliver a highquality HD image comparable to LCD and plasma televisions. These sets, which range from 38 to 68 inches wide, are often less ia: expensive and are a great option for a first-time HD buyer. What you watch is just as important as the television you choose to watch it on—and services like digital cable makeit easy to suit any TV viewer’s needs.
