How to Choose and Buy a CRT Television

There are a large number of CRT televisions on the market and sometimes it can be difficult to know which to choose. Here are some hints and tips on what to look out for when choosing and buying a CRT television.

Check How Much Space You Need for your CRT TV

Due to the depth of a conventional CRT television, you’ll need more space in the room that you wish to place it than you would with other types of television. Check the dimensions of any television you are considering and make sure that it will fit in your living room before you buy it.

The television will also require ventilation, so make sure that you place it several centimetres clear of any walls or furniture.

CRT Television – Screen Size

Choose a CRT TV screen size to suit the type of room it will used in. 24 inch screens and smaller are ideal for bedrooms and guest rooms.

Widescreen CRT Televisions

If you are looking for a CRT television that you won’t need to upgrade for a while, it’s worth considering a Widescreen model, as Widescreen broadcasts are becoming more popular. It also means that your new CRT television will be suitable to use for watching DVDs.

CRT TV – Accessories

When choosing your new CRT television, check to see whether it comes with any accessories you think you might need. If you want to buy a stand, cabinet, remote control or any new cables, it’s worth ordering these at the same time, so that when your new TV arrives you can set it up where and how you want it straight away. For more information on the accessories that you can buy for your TV, take a look at our Accessories section.

Check the Guarantee

Although traditional CRT televisions are very reliable, it’s always worth checking the terms of the guarantee – you may want to consider extending it.
