There was a time when a 32 inch LCD TV would have been considered a large screen television and the ideal for many home theater lovers.  However, by today’s standards this size screen in relatively small.  It is the best choice for a room that is smaller or for a bedroom television.

Consider where you will be placing the 32 inch LCD TV before you make the decision to buy it.  If you choose a larger television for a small room, it will be very uncomfortable viewing the TV for you and your family.

 

Bedrooms are the ideal place to use a smaller television.  It is also a good size to use in a small family room.  Typically the larger size televisions are used in bigger rooms where the furnishings are a bit further away.

A 32 inch LCD TV is also a good choice for office use.  When there is a need for viewing media in your office’s conference room, this is the ideal size for viewing by everyone in the relatively small confines of the conference area.  It can be used for training small groups of people in your company’s training room and a number of other purposes.

Your child’s bedroom is another place that you can put a 32 inch LCD TV.  If you have finally made the decision to allow your child to watch television in their room, this is a good size for your children and their friends to watch their favorite movies.  It is also a good size for video games.

The 32 inch LCD TV is an apartment size television today.  Many of the smaller rooms in your home are a great opportunity to put this size television.  It is not really a small television by any means, but in today’s market and the tendency to create oversized rooms in our home, it is no longer a big screen television.

Those who have carved out a home theater room in a small area of the house may also find that the 32 inch LCD TV is the right choice for them.  If you just don’t have the room for the big home theater of your dreams with the giant screen and the big room in your home, a 32 inch television will be perfect.

Many people want to upgrade their existing televisions to a larger size, and 42 seem to be a popular number. It is quite a bit larger than standard TV’s but not necessarily, what you would consider a big screen.

In recent years, the choices in technology have increased considerably. You now have a choice between LCD and Plasma televisions. In a side-by-side comparison, the LCD seems to win. However, what are the differences and which should you choose – 42 inch LCD TV or plasma?

Video Game or Computer

Believe it or not, some people get a kick out of using their 42 inch LCD TV as a computer screen! The question is can you do this with a plasma screen? The answer is no, due to burn in factor it is likely not a good idea.

Plasma screen televisions have a bad habit of burning an image that is displayed for long periods, into the screen. Depending on manufacturer, this can happen quickly or over extended use. LCD on the other hand does not have this problem.

If you have a video gamer in the house, your best bet will be to go with the 42 inch LCD TV instead of plasma for this very reason.

Repeated displays of the characters on the screen could leave you with a permanent image of Crash Bandicoot on your set!

Power Consumption

With all the news about energy consumption and going green energy, consumption has become top priority for consumers. A 42 inch LCD TV will consume about half what a plasma screen will. This is due to the LCD’s florescent lighting.

Picture Quality

A 42 inch LCD TV will have a slightly better picture resolution than plasma. The demand today is for a television that will produce high definition images. The lowest resolution of an LCD TV is easily 1366×768, high definition by any standard. Plasma on the other hand is 1024×768, not high def but close enough that it is hard to tell the difference.

In picture quality, the differences between a 42 inch LCD TV and plasma is too close to call. It will pretty much come down to other considerations, such as price, size and need.

Price

No comparison is complete without talking about price. Comparison shopping on Amazon brought these results:

  • 42 inch LCD TV- LG 42LB5D- This unit was advertised at $999.00 for a brand new model and $899.00 for a refurbished one.
  • 42 in Plasma- LG 42PG20- This model weighed in at $899.00

Prices will vary from one retailer to the next and according to brand. The one clear piece of information is this as technology has increased the price differential has decreased.

Choosing a new television leaves you a lot to think about. After you have weighed the pros and cons of each type of television, you will have to decide on manufacturer. That many times comes down to personal choice or brand loyalty. Overall, the 42 inch LCD TV has the advantage in most aspects. Happy hunting!
