Demystifying the TV

With 241 brands in the world, it's not easy buying a television. Which make you would finally choose would largely depend on your budget and very little on the specs. But that's not to say you can't have the best.
In this article, we demystify the evolution of the television and the aspects of the individual types to help you make a decision at least to what type of TV you want.

The Plasma
These are the really large TVs, it seems the bigger the better with sports bar s in Nairobi going for the largest to screen the games on. There's nothing like watching a game like you have front row sits at the game. But what exactly is a plasma TV, and apart from size is there anything else that differentiates it from the TV you have at home? Fundamentally no, but it has a brighter display, higher contrast and a wider range of colour. Plasmas made a big bang the world over with over 19.1 million sales in their first year of introduction and it seems it's just getting bigger and bigger. And thinner. At 10 cm, plasmas are one of the slimmest TV types there are out there. It has the added advantage of being able to be wall mounted. On the down side, it requires more power to run, so buying one would have the further effect of raising your electricity bill. All in all, sometimes size matters, and when it does plasma is the way to go.
