Five Things You Should Do After You Buy an HDTV

Posted On : Jun-25-2010 | seen (688) times | Article Word Count : 220 |

This article is a concise list of steps to take after purchasing an HDTV.
1. Use the Right Inputs and Cables

Stay away from cheap cables. Go for an HDMI that is high speed (Category 2) for “Deep Color” and lossless audio.

2. Adjust Room Lights and Eliminate Glare

Plasma TVs are especially prone to glare problems, but LCD TVs reflect light too. Keep reflective light from hitting your screen with a pair of drapes. Also, consider dimming room light or adding a soft light behind your HDTV.

3. Calibrate, Calibrate, Calibrate

In order to fully appreciate your HDTV, you should consider getting your hands on a calibration DVD or soliciting a specialist.

Calibration DVDs cost around $25.

A specialist from places like Geek Squad will make a house call for around $300, or you can just buy their gear (Spyder3TV) and do it yourself for about $100.

4. Add Speakers

Half of your home theater experience is sound, so consider a 5.1 speaker set with a subwoofer or a soundbar that projects simulated surround sound.

5. Mount It

Mounting your HDTV saves space, helps optimize your viewing angle, and gives you easy access to ports on the back.
