What Other Issues Should I Consider When Buying A Flatscreen?
Check out the contrast ratio which refers to the brightest and darkest light values a display can produce at the same time. The higher the contrast ratio is the better. The aspect ratio describes the relationship of screen width to screen height. Conventional sets have a 4:3 aspect ratio whereas most flatscreens have wide-screen 16:9 which is what you should look for. The resolution is specified as the number of pixel columns by the number of pixel rows eg 1280 by 720. Generally speaking, a display is considered high definition if it is wide screen and has a total pixel count approaching 1 million. So 1920 by 1080, 1280 by 720, 1366 by 768, and 1024 by 1024 are all good examples of high-definition displays. Always check the number and type of video inputs which determine which sources you can use with the display.
