:: Basic tips and precautions ::

  Do not leave bright images on plasmas for too long
    Be careful!!! Bright or static still images left on-screen for a long period of time may leave a permanently unwanted see-through watermark like shape on plasma displays; this disadvantage applies to all plasma monitors of any brand or price.

  When getting a new TV, consider getting a wide screen

 

  High-definition technology is still being developed, but whenever possible, a person shopping for a new TV, should consider buying a wide-screen TV at least HDTV-ready. By 2006, almost all of the TV broadcasting will be done in High-Definition.

  HDTV-Ready TVs need a decoder for HDTV programming
    HDTV-ready TVs cannot collect, decode and display high-definition broadcasts. Like its name says it, this type of TVs is ‘ready’ to accept the signals, but they need the decoder and these decoders are the main difference between the price of an HDTV and an HDTV-ready display.
    :: Safety Tips ::

  Avoid overloading electrical outlets
    Never put to work any wall outlet or extension cord further than their standing power limits, doing so, the electrical source turns into a highly electrical hazard able to cause melting outlets, fire and even possible accidental death.

  Use good quality cables for all connections
  HDTV displays are to exhibit the best image quality there can be; help these neat video components perform their best, by connecting it to other components only with higher quality wires; use S-Video or VGA to VGA, rather than RCA cables.
