* Flat Panel LCD TV . LCD TV (liquid crystal display) utilizes a digital data processing technology that takes broadcast data, then does some tricky light beam splitting (into primary spectrum blue, green, red frequencies), re-combines each color spectrum after passing through an unique color filter, and then projects the re-combined data bits onto the screen of awaiting crystals. Some light passes through, some light is rejected, the pixels "switch on or off" and presto ... you've got a stunning real-life image.

* Flat Panel Plasma TV. As technology evolves, flat panel plasma television has dominated the larger size home theater segment. Think of the plasma 42 inch TV or the 50 plasma television models you've seen at friends' homes when you've watched a great game or viewed a live concert. With plasma television, the light emitting component is targeted directly at the screen. What happens next is that the stream of electrons "excites" the phosphors imbedded within the glass layers comprising the screen ... lighting up or not ... and you see the image.

#2. Most Popular Flat Panel TV Sizes . High resolution smaller size models begin with the 15 flat panel TV ... move up to the 20 inch flat panel TV ... add more viewing area with the 27 flat panel TV ... or you can move up to 32 inch flat panel TV ... jump up further to 42 inch LCD flat panel television ... or scale up to even 50 flat panel TV models. Individual manufacturers may further segment the market with other size models to select from.

#3. Flat Panel TV Entertainment Stands . First measure ... then measure again. Decide whether your flat panel TV furniture should house both your plasma television as well as your home stereo components. Depending on the style, and organizing, that suits your décor and lifestyle, select a flat panel TV cabinet that is at least 4 inches wider on the side-to-side width dimension. Make sure that your cabinet offers a solid platform, in order to avoid the unpleasantness of an 80-pound plasma television suddenly tipping over.

#4. Installation Tip – Selecting Your Flat Panel TV Wall Mount. Picking the wall ... then considering how seriously cool your viewing room will look, is the easy part. Safety and skill are necessary when wall-mounting electronics ... especially where a 50 flat panel TV might weight over 100 pounds. Solution? Ideally, hire a professional, who can identify your wall studs or structural timbers, or fabricate a wall mounting hardware piece that will keep your flat panel TV hanging rather than Humpty Dumpty broken up on the floor.
