subject: What Is The Best 40 Inch Television? [print this page] A nice big high quality 40 inch television is a great addition to any home. A TV of this size is really more than just another piece of home entertainment kit, it is the center of your very own home cinema and in many rooms it will certainly be the centerpiece of the room as well. Watching tv is just so much better on a 40 inch screen!
So how do you choose what is the best 40 inch television to buy for yourself. Well, before looking at any individual sets you should think about where you want to put it. If you want to be able to hang it on the wall then you will need to find something very slim and that means going for LED. If you aren't going to then you probably don't need the very thinnest set. An extra two or three inch backing won't make much difference. In that case you will get much better value from LCD.
If you want the best then that means HD - and the best level of high definition is 1080p, so that is somthing you should look for.
High contrast ratio, fast response time, and if you are buying LCD then some kind of deep black or 'infinite black' technology are all good things to keep an eye out for. One more thing is a light sensor that will automatically adjust the settings to suit the ambient lighting conditions is a very good feature. If you are into gaming then you may also want to buy something that has a dedicated gaming mode as this will optimize your set specically for this use. And one more feature if you like gaming, or if you often plug camcorders and other things into your tv, is ports on the side of the tv set rather than the back, as this makes it much easier to plug things in and unplug them again.
