Other options include a rear-projection TV which includes the LCD display the flat panel TV with either an LCD or plasma display or the rear projection TV which requires a separate movie screen.

While buying a television take care to choose one with a digital signal instead of analog. The advantage is that digital signals are progressively scanned and so they give a higher picture resolution. It will not be difficult to find such a set because US is switching its broadcasting system from analog to digital and so the televisions are manufactured leeping this in mind. The highest quality digital signal is called HDTV. It is better to buy some thing which is compatible to its resolution. It may be a bit more expensive.
