Purchasing a new television set was a pretty straightforward process, and most consumers considered that the main requirements were price and size.

Nowadays, of course, any potential buyer would have to consider the room in which the set was to be used, whether it was suitable for gaming, video playback, and also it’s compatibility with other media devices like DVD, Blue Ray and USB connectivity.

Moreover, the appearance of the product is also very important to some. With consumers now also demanding sets that are easy to use as well as functional, modern TV’s need to be able to meet a number of requirements.
