I think it is unavoidable that you would have to buy some ‘Smart Home’ hardware.

For example, there is plenty of software that will allow your computer to understand your voice and even activate a command of sorts after it has been told what to do.

However for it to control your lights, there has to be some sort of interface from the PC, or network, that will inform a control system that the lights must be turned off.

Then you need a physical piece of hardware to automatically shut off or turn on the light as commanded.

You may be able to find what we used to call a clapper, which is a light switch that replaces your conventional one and responds to high pitched sounds or clapping of your hands to turn the lighs on/off and vice versa.

So you are contemplating about getting a large screen television to hang in your keeping room. It can get very frustrating with all of the television manufacturers, model numbers, features and styles to select from. As we review at this together you will see that there is no “one size fits all” TV here, as you will see that it depends on several factors. In this article we will look into the most commonly asked question.

So Should I Get A Plasma or LCD TV?

1) What size of a screen will you be selecting?

Both the LCD & Plasma screens are available in up to 65″ now. Are you considering a TV bigger than 50″? I believe you will find that with Tv’s larger than 50″ you will get a better deal on a plasma than a LCD. But here’s the good news…LCD’s are becoming less expensive every day.

2) What will the lighting situation be in your TV room?

The reason I mention this to you is that the degree of sunlight that enters the room will play a role when choosing your flat panelwall mount television set. The reason I mention this is that the plasma’s glass screen can reflect plenty of direct sunlight.So as you can imagine sometimes this can be an issue in very bright rooms. Did you know– direct sunlight can also contribute to a washout of color. Even indirect or ambient lighting can cause a contrast ratio reduction, especially in black colors produced on the screen.

Now we will talk of one of the LCD’s key benefits, since the LCD comes with a plastic matte screen that reflects less light. So if you have a very bright room– the LCD is probably your best choice. So score a point for the LCD here.

3) Lets discuss your seating arrangements.

The reason I ask is that unfortunately, when you sit at a funny angle from the screen you will get a faded LCD picture. So this may be an important thing to consider when arranging your furniture in your TV room. Sometimes based on the the amount of wall space and windows you have…You really don’t have much of an option. So think carefully about the trade off here. You tend to see some brightness and color shift when you’re on too much of an angle with LCD’s. (Thankfully LCD designers are burning the midnight oil to try to find a solution to this. Here’s some good news for you plasma fans, a plasma can be viewed with a fairly solid picture from almost an angle. So score a point for plasma’s here. Since technology is changing minute by minute and quality varies from manufacturer to manufacturer (and model to model) I would suggest a side-by-side comparison with several flat screens you may be thinking about. Try to make believe where your seating would be so you can watch it from the estimate angle you will be using at home–and simply judge for yourself.

These are just a few concerns to think about when picking a television for your home.
