It wasn't so long ago that miniaturization was all the rage in the world or electronics, and I guess it still is to some extent, but we do seem to be getting back to the 'big is beautiful' mind set, and especially when this comes to the new-age televisions. Now that the big TV no longer needs those huge tubes bulking out from behind the screen, it means folks can have a big TV set, yet save living space at the same time.
Tiny TVs may be novel, but there's nothing quite like watching television and particularly movies on a big screen. Why is the movie theatre so popular? Simple, it's big screen entertainment! Ok, so we have no way of replicating that in the house, but there are some pretty impressive home entertainment systems around these days nonetheless. Many folks are investing in terrific surround sounds systems too, so staying in really is becoming the new going out when it comes to big TV entertainment in the home.
Another problem the big TV's used to have was picture quality. Anything above a 32 screen was difficult to focus on unless you sat at least 8 feet away. Not so nowadays with the introduction of the wide screen flat panel and high-definition televisions on sale, otherwise known as HDTV. These modern types have much higher-resolution screens and you can sit much closer to them if you want to.
At the time of writing I have a Sony FWD42PV1/B 42 Plasma Television which is wall mounted. I don?t even have the words to describe what a beautiful piece of engineering this is, but what I can tell you is that it takes up no room, looks terrific, sounds awesome, and has given the family a great home entertainment system which we all enjoy. Who would have thought just a few years back, that a 41 big TV would give us more room space than our old 29 Samsung.
To be honest, I never thought I'd fall into the trappings of the big TV screen, but my family kept going on and on about it for so long that I eventually agreed to take look and see what all the fuss was about. Boy I'm so glad I did! I'm neither a couch potato nor a TV addict, but what bit of viewing I do enjoy has been increased ten fold by our new system, and I'm real happy to have the extra floor space too.
Although all this new technology is not cheap, it's coming down in price all the time, and the quality keeps getting better and better to the point where there will soon be nothing left to improve upon. I can't fault it, and for someone who's known to be a bit thrifty with the cash, I can honestly say with hand on heart, that the big screen entertainment center is perhaps the best investment I've ever made for the family home. It certainly gets more attention than a new washing machine or 3 piece suite, that's for sure!
