Like most other men I enjoy watching a big screen television. In my opinion the bigger the better. But there are so many choices when it comes to purchasing a big screen television its easy to get confused. There are three main types of big screen televisions. Plasma, LCD and Rear Projection. Lets go through the pros and cons of the three.

The first is Plasma televisions. These televisions have been praised for their clear picture and thin frame. Ive found these televisions to deliver a high quality picture. They are so slim they can be hung on the wall like a picture frame saving a lot of space in the lounge room. The downside is they dont have a very long life-span. A lot of people I know that have a plasma television complain about having to keep getting it fixed after only a year.

The second is LCD televisions. LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. LCD televisions deliver and even higher quality picture that plasma televisions. They are also light weight and slim in size. The only downside I can see is the price. LDC televisions are the most expensive out of the three.

The third is rear projection televisions. The main advantage to buying a rear projection television is the price. It is the cheapest out of three, a lot cheaper in fact. In most cases the half the price. Now lets talk about the disadvantages. A good saying is you get what you pay for and in this case it is no exception. Rear projection televisions are bigger than the LCDs and Plasmas. A lot bigger, so you better have a big lounge room if you want to purchase one. The second disadvantage is the picture quality. The picture picture quality of rear projection televisions are a lot poorer.

So the question really is how much you want to spend. Paying less for a rear projection television will help your hip pocket but will be a lot harder on the eyes. Buying a LCD television will cost a bit but will deliver excellent picture quality. The choice is yours, but if you have the money get the LCD television.
