There is much more involved when buying a high-definition TV set then just picking out a model at the store. To get the best high definition set for your needs and in your price range you will need to do some research and gain knowledge on what makes a TV high definition. High definition TVs can be expensive so you do not want to make an uneducated purchase.

If you want a genuine HDTV then you need to know the definition between high definition and enhanced definition TV. A high definition TV will have a minimum resolution of 12800 x 720 while an enhanced definition TV has lower resolution. A genuine HDTV should have at least one 1080p HDMI port as well as has support for HDCP. These connections mean that you can connect a high definition DVD player or a Blue Ray player to the HDTV.

Currently slimmer TVS are in and HDTVS tend to have truer blacks while LCD screen are brighter. If you want to fill your entire all with the picture then an HDTV projector is a good choice. The best pictures are from "tube" HDTVs though these are slowly going out of production.

You should test out your HDTV of interest. The best movies to use are fast paced colorful films. The best TVs will not have any jagged lines during the fast scene. You also need to be aware that channels that are not high definition will not look well on a high definition TV. So you need to determine what you watch as a high definition TV will need high definition or digital channel.

If you want to get free HD network channels from your local stations you will need an HDTV that contains a built in tuner. If you subscribe to satellite cable or higher then basic cable you would look into an HDTV monitor or display and you will not need a built in tuner. While most TVs should have all the video components, red, blue and green you still need to check. You want more than two sets of these connections so that you can connect your Xbox, DVD or cable.

With any high definition television you will need high definition connections to get the best viewing no matter what you are watching. To connect an HD or blue ray player you will need HDMI ports and the corresponding cables. Game players will use component connections.

There are also several other connection options available but the best for HDTV are DVI/HDMI. There are also widescreen and full screen HDTVs available. A widescreen is the true format that movies come in while a full screen is a cropped and squashed picture.
