If you are you looking to upgrade your dated television but are intimidated by the vast number of features and technology options, set your mind at ease.

In this section of HomeTips, you will find information that will help you wade through the buying decisions involved in purchasing a new HDTV (high-definition television).

Determining your budget is a key step when shopping for an HDTV. Assign yourself a price bracket, and then explore the various different HDTV options within that range.

In general, there are five different technologies used to produce high-def TV: CRT, LCD, plasma-screen, HD rear-projection, and HD front-projection.

With the exception of HD front-projection, the price of HDTVs are almost always directly related to size: the larger the size, the more expensive the set.

When determining the right size of television to buy, note that dimensions are specified by the diagonal measurement across the screen (from corner to corner).
