Seniors I'm thinking of buying a new TV. What brands do you think are good and what sizes?

Q. LED, HDTV not sure what this means? Some ideas please!

A. I suggest that you look at flat panel televisions that are high definition (HDTV); Sandy Sue. There are many brands and 3 types of flat screens to choose from; Plasma screens, LED, or LCD.

Most of the brands of HDTV flat screens will work well; so shop around for price. Do a little research online; and then go into a store and check out the brands that interest you. Look at the tv straight on and from the side, to see which picture looks best. Compare the colors and clearness of the pictures.

The size of the screen will depend on the size of the room where the tv will be placed. We have two tvs, one has a 42 inch screen and one has a 48 inch screen; the rooms are about 10x14 feet. We could have gone with bigger screens, but honestly, these screens are more than big enough. If your rooms are smaller, then you could get a smaller screen.

Our 42 inch flat panel screen HDTV is an LED screen, Samsung. The picture is clear and sharp and the color is good. We can view it from the side without a problem. The screen burnt out after 2 years, and we were able to replace it, but it cost a pretty penny. The tv is now 6 years old and works like a champ.

We've had our 48 inch flat panel screen HDTV for about 18 months; it is an LCD screen and is the LG brand. I love this tv, it does use less energy and doesn't get as hot as any of our other televisions. The picture is great and we have not had any problems with it at all.

Just look for a picture that you like, a size that you like, a price that you can afford, and check reviews of the tv you are considering. I know that the choices are dizzying. We did a bit of research, went to the stores more than once, picked the televisions we liked the best, and then waited for them to go on sale.

Good luck!


Which HD FTA receiver do you suggest?
Q. I have a sonicview4000 right now on a old crt tv. I'm planning on buying a 720p LCD around 42 inches. So, i'm thinking of upgrading the receiver. Are there any suggestions? Any sites I can look at reviews? What are the price ranges? What can I do with my old receiver. Would I have to adjust anything with the dish or lnbs?

A. I have heard great things about the Viewsat 9000 HD. All HD units are still pretty expensive but if you're stuck with a coolsat 4000-6000 or any other receiver that has discontinued or intermittent support, now is as good a time as any to buy. I would not buy coolsat again, it was down for 6 months a year and a half ago while viewsat had working bins and coolsat has recently decided to quit support for many of their popular yet older models.
As for the TV I would get a Samsung DLP 1080p HDTV of any size, they are a digital light projection TV and have the best picture quality from what I've seen for the price.
I think you do need an HD compatible dish but im not very sure. I would keep your old reciever around just as a backup or for a second TV in the house.
