Starting a home theater is a daunting task. But learning what others have bought can help you with your decision. Learn about some of the most popular televisions for home theater systems

LCD Television

Home theater systems are growing in popularity. Yet, starting up a home theater system can be a daunting task for many. What do you buy? Are some brands better than others for a home theater system? These are good questions. And, to help you through the process, we’ve put together a list of the best things that people just like you are buying for their own home theaters.

First of all, you need a great television. But, you may have to buy one on a tight budget. Luckily, there are plenty of great models available for right around the $2,000 mark.

The two best kinds of televisions are 40 to 50 inch LCD or Plasma televisions. If you’re on a budget, you’ll probably want to go for around a 40 inch television. The 45-inch Samsung UN46B7000 is a nice model that is quite popular. At around $2,200 online, it’s a fair price for a large LCD television. The color on this model is beautiful, especially the black. The sleek styling of the panel (1.2 inches) makes it seamlessly fit into any room. It comes with a variety of features, including Yahoo! Widgets, built-in content and network streaming.

The main downside to this model is the off-angle viewing, which can be inconsistent. Also, the screen is very shiny, which can cause reflections. This model comes with HDMI inputs and USB/VGA interface. It has a USB port to connect to digital music and photos. The dimensions for this model are 44.5 inches wide, 10.8 inches deep and 30.2 inches high.

Plasma Television

For the Plasma side of things, the LG PS80 HDTV (around $2,000+ online) is a nice choice for your home theater. There are a variety of models from 47 to 50 inch in size. This model comes with the full 1080p range of HD for optimal viewing. The system also comes with NetCast Entertainment Access, which allows you to access the internet to obtain additional content.

The color on this one is also amazing and seems to pop out at the viewer. With this machine, you will instantly be able to access popular sites such as Netflix Instant Streaming, Yahoo! Widgets and YouTube. Another outstanding feature of this model is that it comes with THX display certification and THX cinema mode and four HDMI inputs and USB 2.0 for digital photos and music. The major downside to this model is that its features are pretty standard in look. The specifications will depend on the model that you buy.
