With your HDTV, you may be too close to the picture, and you can be too far (or have too small an image). You know you’re too close, if you can see the pixels on the screen. You must find the somewhere in between is the perfect size.

In general, experts determine the optimal size for your HDTV set by dividing the distance you sit on television of 2.5.

Although you can use any type of HDTV for any scenario viewers that you can think of certain types of HDTV work better for specific uses. Different types of high definition televisions use different technologies to create their images, which often coincide with some better use than others.

For example, if you pack a lot of friends in the room watching movies a lot, you may want to consider plasma or direct-view CRT (tube HDTV) on the screen, instead of CRT rear-projection LCD and flat-screen televisions. This is because the plasma and direct-view CRT are the best angle (image quality when viewed from the side).

Off the Wall Ideas for Your Plasma TV
By Ron Subs

 Anyone with a plasma TV will tell you it’s not small. Usually they are mounted to a wall to save space and prevent damage. With most models measuring in at over 37″ across, they do take up a significant amount of wall space. Not to mention the fact that they need special mounting gear to keep them on the wall without damaging the TV or the wall. Rest assured that many have been destroyed by improper installation. This is not the ideal situation.

What can you do then? Should you get rid of the expensive TV that you’ve worked so hard for? That would be silly and, of course, unnecessary. Rest assured that there is an answer for your dilemma. A plasma TV lift is a device that will allow you to raise and lower your expensive set in and out of a beautiful cabinet while taking up only minimal space. Not only will you not have to worry about damaging your wall, your expensive TV will be out of the way until you want to watch it. Real artwork can adorn the walls once again.

How big a set can a plasma TV lift handle? They can handle sets up to 65″. You may wonder how strong one of these lifts can really be. On one manufacturer’s website they decided to put one of these lifts to an unusual and difficult test: they had one of their managers sit on the cabinet and press the button. The lift raised both the TV and the manager with seemingly little effort. There was no loud noise coming from the motor that would indicate that this was causing a strain to the equipment. This is an example of the strength of the TV lifts that you can find on the market today.

The various manufacturers of this type of product have a variety of cabinets available complete with the TV lifts already installed. There are many styles available to suit any decor, from classic to modern. There are also a wide variety of price ranges available to fit most budgets. You can also purchase a kit that can allow a lift to be placed into a cabinet of your choosing. This is especially important if you have a matching furniture suite that you don’t want to distract from. You can also find a full range of accessories, from component shelves for DVD’s and VCR’s, to extra heavy-duty mounting brackets and anything else you might need to make this type of set-up work for you.
