Q. I need to know which HDTV is the best and what it should have when I compare them.
A. First decide whether or not you want to hang it on the wall. That will determine if you need LCD or plasma technology. Second, write down a list of everything you want to connect to it, even if you don't have everything on your list.
For the picture quality, examine the TV closely and see if you can find lines or pixels. If you can, move on to a different television. If you want a life-like picture, it should look good no matter how close you are. Also check to see how dark the black is. The darker it appears, the more true the colors will be.
Next, walk to the sides of the tv and see where the picture fades out. This could mean the difference between missing a play during the game as you're walking back from the kitchen with your beer. Trust me, it's important. Also check for glare in the screen. If you have windows in your TV area, bring a flashlight with you and see if you can get reflection off the screen. If so, move on to a different TV.
Finally, grab the remote from the salesman's hand. Since you'll be using the remote all of the time, it should be easy to navigate and you should be able to understand how to work the Picture in Picture (great for channel surfing), theater modes, volume, settings and inputs without having to read the owner's manual.
I highly recommend DLP & 3DLP TV's if you don't care about hanging the TV on the wall. They are about 1/2 as deep as the old big-screens with a picture sharper than any other TV on the market. They are also much, much cheaper than plasmas and LCDs. Brands to look for include Sony, Hitachi and Mitsubishi.

What is the best sound bar for a 32" Vizio TV?
Q. I have a Vizio 32" E320VL LCD HDTV and I have noticed that when I watch a movie on my dvd player, the sound is not very good. It's really quiet in certain parts and really loud in others. I was wondering if a sound bar would fix this problem, and if so what would be the best and cheapest one to get for my Vizio TV? Thanks to anyone who can help!
A. Visit crutchfield.com and click on speakers then soundbars. They offer a good selection with specs and list their offerings from lowest price to highest price. You don't have to buy from them but it doesn't hurt to look. Crutchfield has been in business for many many years. I bought a Sony TV from them in 2010. I live in Texas and by buying from them paid no state sales tax and they ship anywhere in the US at no additional cost. I have a new Vizio 32" LED in my kitchen and after I heard the TV sound for the first time I started looking. The down side of soundbars is the width. Be sure to take that into consideration when shopping. Last, pricing of soundbars is pretty much like other speakers in that you can expect to get what you pay for. The higher the quality, the higher the cost.
