Big Screen Televisions - Those Miracles Of Modern Technology

If you're a big fan of home entertainment generally, and of sports in particular, big screen televisions are a surely must-have in your life. Why? Because everything seems so much sharper, bolder, and truer-to-life. In fact you feel you're living the programs rather than simply watching them; and once you've sampled that, there really is no going back.

Personally I was a latecomer to the world of big screen televisions, but once I got my first, it truly was an epiphany. It came about one Christmas when, desperate for a novel present, my partner bought me a 46 inch flat screen television, then spent the entire holiday period trying to prise me away from my delightful new gadget. Boys and their toys, as the old saying goes...

These days, given the advent of LCD and plasma screens, your big screen televisions don't have to be of the old CRT or cathode ray tube variety. Sure, you can pick up these old sets for a song now that the technology has been superseded; but personally I'm chuffed that my partner went for the best HD ready LCD TV she could find, so I not only have one of the upmarket big screen televisions, but super picture quality to boot, and set to get even better!

Another thing I really like about the more modern sets is that, unlike CRT, they're sleek, slimline, aesthetically-appealing, and can even be wall-mounted; and don't seem like some bulky old dinosaur lurking conspicuously and rather inappropriately in your corner, taking up a good chunk of your living space.

My partner admitted she'd done her initial research online to get a fast guide to prices and availability - one tip is to buy direct from manufacturers for a better deal. Just check out the home pages of major companies for special offers on big screen televisions (shipping extra), or to get a good overview of the market generally.

Anyway, I'm so fond of my own LCD TV that I'd have to be surgically separated from it these days. My partner has been the beneficiary too, being a diehard movie buff. Rarely do we bother venturing downtown to noisy cinemas when we've a stunning quality flat screen television at home, are spoilt for choice with cable TV, plus a well-stocked local Blockbuster's.

Which makes me wonder why we ever left it this long to drag ourselves into the 21st century with all its truly marvelous modern conveniences...
