Most of us have asserted it, believed it, felt it, or written itthat thanks to the Net, we have a global closeness, an advantageous vicinity, with people we might otherwise never meet.  One of the many, many values of this is that we are able to generate ideas, have further relationships, and gain support and advice, the latter of which is what I speak to here.  That is, we will be able to log on and compare TVs, for example, before we blindly and in a hypnotized by bling and flicker state, walk into a brick-and-mortar store and make a purchase.

So, for example, we can go to those sites directly or indirectly designed with customer reviewswritten and posted by people who help us compare TVs using their commentaries.  Provided the writer, the supposed consumer who is writing so we can compare TVs, is not someone affiliated with and earning money off the positive compare televisions reviews ( which does happen online, so watch who you believe ), we should be able to get a practical report of usability, simplicity of cleaning ( where needed ), endurance, affordability, and other characteristics that will help us, in this instance, compare TVs.

My favorite places to read up on product satisfaction reviews are as follows :

First, there’s epinions.com.  The shoppers writing the reviews are real folk who have really purchased the products ( just check out their lengthy, private, consistent over time reviews ).  They allot from 1 to 5 stars, and write descriptive rationales.

And the attempts to compare televisions are simplified, as the reviews are categorized by type, style, make, model, as well as by details / or specs ( screen dimensions in the case of TVs ) and / or priceif you just wish to browse ; otherwise, you can do a specific search or a general class search.  So a flat panel LCD TV such as the Sony HDTV-ready model, for instance, gets us to compare televisions by Sony in the $530-$1630 price-range, in the display size range of 27-inch to 56-inch, and even refine our search by other essentials,eg audio type, brightness, or perhaps keyword.

My next favorite place to compare televisions or any other saleable / buyable product in the world is amazon.com.  The real-life, human shoppers there also go by a 5-star rating scale, and speak in general to express terms regarding the models, makes, and costs of TVs, according to their own customer satisfaction responses.

Eventually, there is the more professional site where you can compare TVs or anything more, the site which is the ancestor to the above and every other review site and publication : ConsumerReports.com.  This site is honestly adept, totally precise, and technically apt.  The reviews are written by consumers who are also testers and technical writers getting paid to deliver a fair / unbiased bias, if that makes sense.

You’ll be able to compare TVs easily, trusting someone, or most people, is or are telling you the truth.

You can see more details of flat panel LCD televisions on the LCD TV Blog.
