When looking for a refurbished HDTV, what features should you look for? Well, what features to look for in a TV, depends primarily on your circumstances and the reason for buying a TV. In this article, we will discuss the lcd vs. plasma debate, and what you should look for in a refurbished HDTV. After all, a refurbished HDTV is like a new one.

Okay, so there’s this universal debate about HDTVs: lcd or plasma. Following are the good points to each.

Lcd: If you’ll use the TV mainly for games and also as a computer monitor - then choose the lcd. Also, if your room has a lot of direct sunlight, and you’ll view the HDTV when it’s bright, an lcd is a better choice.

Plasma: But if you’re passionate about watching movies, or if you watch a lot of sports and you need to be able to really see the action well - then a plasma tv will be better, because of its instant response time and high refresh rate. And if you watch TV during the evening, or you close the blinds during the day to block out the light, then a plasma tv fits the bill.

Plasma TVs definitely have more depth (especially its ability to render deeper blacks) than lcd. But it also generates more heat and weighs more.

So, basically the features to look for are the same in a refurbished HDTV and a new TV. After all, the refurbished HDTV is like new; if it’s factory refurbished it has passed the test to meet or exceed factory standards. And it has been tested that it works perfectly, too. But, since it can’t legally be sold as a new unit, it’s to your advantage. When buying a refurbished HDTV, you end up getting so much more value for your money, i.e. bigger size, more features, etc.
