To help you make an informed and considered purchase we have listed below our Key Buying Tips.

1. Read our Television Guide to help you understand the differences between the types of TV models and technologies available (Cathode Ray Tube, Plasma, Liquid Crystal Display and Digital Projection).

2. Measure the space where the TV is to be placed (height, width and depth) to ensure that the TV (and any stand) will fit comfortably.

3. Look at the layout of the room and identify the different seating positions and different viewing angles.

4. Take a careful note of the viewing angle from any main seating that is not directly in front of the TV.

5. Measure the distance between the main seating positions and the television screen.

6. Use our Screen Guide to identify the maximum and minimum recommended viewing distances by screen size.

7. Visit our Manufacturer Links and Price Comparison Sites to identify which TV models you are most interested in and how much money you need to budget.

8. Read the product reviews (written by consumers and journalists) on the Price Comparison Sites to gain feedback on specific television models.

9. Take a look in local stores to see the picture quality of different manufacturers' models (based on the distances and viewing angles that you measured from your room).

10. Listen to the TV's audio quality at different sound levels to check for any sound distortion and check the ease of use of any controls (on the TV and the remote).

11. Use the Price Comparison Sites to identify the best pricing and ensure that you buy from a reputable retailer.

12. Clarify whether the purchase price includes the delivery and setting up of your new television in your home otherwise you will need to make your own arrangements.
