Nowadays more and more people are changing the way they use their televisions..Some years ago we used to turn on Tv and watch whatever there was.But now we choose the programs we watch much more carefully because we have many other interesting things to do.One result of this change is that we are also becoming more careful about the actual television set itself. As we watch fewer programs, we want to be sure that we will have a really good picture, with bright color and clear sound. Because it will be switched off most of the time, we also want the television to look good when we are not watching it. So when we buy or rent we look at the outside to make sure it is attractive and will look right with other furniture.Of course we have to pay more for high quality.However it seems that the number of people who are content to do is increasing and this should have a good result because in the end all television will have better quality
