You have a tremendous array of options when selecting the best television for a home theater system, but the most critical variables when considering your home theater TV setup are the size and picture resolution.

To get a cinema like experience, it is commonly believed that a big screen television - 27 inches or larger will be the best choice. This, however is not always true, as there are many other things to be taken into consideration when buying a television to get the most enjoyable experience of a home theater.

The size of the room in which you are planning to place your home theater system can help determine what size screen you should get. As a general rule the larger the set the more room you need to allow to create the proper viewing distance between you and the television. It would also be wise to consider the amount of natural light that the room you have chosen receives. Some larger sets do not perform well in a bright environment. Also make sure you have measured the area where you plan to place the television in order to choose a set of the proper size.

When determining the right kind of home theater TV setup for your system, you may select what’s known in the business as a direct-view TV–the kind that we are most familiar with and the cheapest option. Other alternatives includes rear projection TV which features the LCD display, flat panel TV with either LCD or plasma, or rear projection TV, which will need a separate movie screen.

A television which receives a digital system instead of analog is a better choice. The reason is because digital signals are progressively scanned, providing a higher picture resolution. Such sets are easy to locate as the broadcasting format in the United States is being changed from analog to digital , and the televisions are being manufactured with this basic change in mind. HDTV is the name given to the highest quality digital signal. It is very important that you buy a compatible set ,,so you get this extra resolution, although these are most expensive televisions. A good idea would be to buy an HDTV ready television for your home theater and upgrade the system later.

To make sure you’ll be totally happy with your home theater TV setup, take the time to compare a number of different brands of the type and size of TV you are most attracted to. Make an educated determination based on your planning and research for years of future pleasure.
