<p>Are you looking for SEO or search engine optimization for your business website and don&#8217;t know how to start? Well, choosing the right service or company to handle this for you can be a daunting task.  Arming yourself with the right knowledge can make this task a lot easier.  Pace PC Solutions can work closely with your SEO company to ensure that you get the services you want and need.  Although we do not perform major SEO options to your site, having your <a title="Design Services" href="http://www.pacepcsolutions.com/design-services/">website designer</a> involved is always a good idea.  This enures that branding and marketing strategies can work hand-in-hand.<a href="http://www.pacepcsolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/seo.png"><span id="more-420"></span></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.pacepcsolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/seo.png"></a><a href="http://www.pacepcsolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/seo-e1305956906241.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-421" title="seo" src="http://www.pacepcsolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/seo-e1305957076411.png" alt="SEO, Search Engine Optimization" width="358" height="191" /></a></p>
<p>Some things to keep in mind when selecting a SEO company are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Know your target audience. Do you want to promote locally or nationally?</li>
<li>Work with a company that only provides white hat SEO services. This basically means getting you ranked and noticed ethically. Not using shady or unethical practices. You also want to make sure that the SEO company will not use spamming tactics.</li>
<li>Before you jump right in and sign a contract, make sure you contact people they have done work for and read reviews or testimonials.  Make sure they are a legit company.</li>
<li>Be ready with a list of keywords that you are interested in. They may have other suggestions,but this will give them an idea of where to start their research.  No one knows the business you are in better than you!</li>
<li>Ask lots of questions!  It never hurts to ask a lot of questions, especially when you are going to make an investment into your business.  Don&#8217;t be afraid to ask those &#8220;dumb&#8221; questions (if you remember from grade school, there are no dumb questions). BE AWARE: If you are talking with a company that can&#8217;t or won&#8217;t explain the process to you, stay away.</li>
<li>You website is your business online and make sure that you stay in control.  You wouldn&#8217;t hand the keys of your building or office over to a stranger, so why do this with your website.  Make sure that you follow every step of the journey to getting your site optimized.  This will not only give you a better understanding of your online business, but your business as a whole.</li>
</ul>
<p>The number one piece of advice that we could give to anyone looking to get SEO services for their website, is &#8220;Arm yourself with knowledge before making a decision.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pace PC Solutions works with several companies that provide quality SEO services in Destin Florida. Even if you aren&#8217;t located in Destin, SEO services can be provided to you no matter where you are.  We have clients all over the world that utilize SEO services that will get results despite your location.  If you have questions about our <a title="Design Services" href="http://www.pacepcsolutions.com/design-services/">web design services</a> or want additional <a title="Contact" href="http://www.pacepcsolutions.com/contact/">SEO services information</a>, please feel free to <a title="Contact" href="http://www.pacepcsolutions.com/contact/">contact us</a>.</p>

<p>Rogue security software, also known as &#8220;scareware,&#8221; is software that appears to be beneficial from a security perspective but provides limited or no security, generates erroneous or misleading alerts, or attempts to lure users into participating in fraudulent transactions.</p>
<h2>How does rogue security software get on my computer?</h2>
<p><span id="more-281"></span></p>
<p>Rogue security software designers create legitimate looking pop-up windows that advertise security update software. These windows might appear on your screen while you surf the Web.</p>
<p>The &#8220;updates&#8221; or &#8220;alerts&#8221; in the pop-up windows call for you to take some sort of action, such as clicking to install the software, accept recommended updates, or remove unwanted viruses or spyware. When you click, the rogue security software downloads to your computer.</p>
<p>Rogue security software might also appear in the list of search results when you are searching for trustworthy antispyware software, so it is important to protect your computer.</p>
<h2>What does rogue security software do?</h2>
<p>Rogue security software might report a virus, even though your computer is actually clean. The software might also fail to report viruses when your computer is infected. Inversely, sometimes, when you download rogue security software, it will install a virus or other malicious software on your computer so that the software has something to detect.</p>
<p>Some rogue security software might also:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lure you into a fraudulent transaction (for example, upgrading to a non-existent paid version of a program).</li>
<li>Use <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/protect/yourself/phishing/engineering.mspx" target="_blank">social engineering</a> to steal your personal information.</li>
<li>Install malware that can go undetected as it steals your data.</li>
<li>Launch pop-up windows with false or misleading alerts.</li>
<li>Slow your computer or corrupt files.</li>
<li>Disable Windows updates or disable updates to legitimate antivirus software.</li>
<li>Prevent you from visiting antivirus vendor Web sites.</li>
</ul>
<p>Rogue security software might also attempt to spoof the Microsoft security update process. Here&#8217;s an example of rogue security software that&#8217;s disguised as a Microsoft alert but that doesn&#8217;t come from Microsoft.</p>
<div>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-282" title="88303_xp-antivirus_F" src="http://www.pacepcsolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/88303_xp-antivirus_F.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="368" /><br />
Example of a warning from a rogue security program known as AntivirusXP.</p>
</div>

<p>For more information about this threat, including analysis, prevention and recovery, see the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Entry.aspx?Name=Trojan:Win32/Antivirusxp" target="_blank">Trojan:Win32/Antivirusxp</a> entry in the Microsoft Malware Protection Center encyclopedia.</p>
<p>Another common rogue security program is FakeSecSen:</p>

Example of a warning rogue security program known as Fake SecSen.</p>
<p>For more information about this threat, including analysis, prevention and recovery, see the Program:Win32/FakeSecSen entry in the Microsoft Malware Protection Center encyclopedia.</p>
<p>Here is the legitimate Microsoft Windows Security Center:</p>

Screenshot of legitimate Microsoft Windows Security Center.</p>
</div>
<h2>To help protect yourself from rogue security software:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Install a firewall and keep it turned on.</li>
<li>Use automatic updating to keep your operating system and software up to date.</li>
<li>Install antivirus and antispyware software and keep it updated.</li>
<li>If your antivirus software does not include antispyware software, you should install a separate antispyware program and keep it updated.</li>
<li>Use caution when you click links in e-mail or on social networking Web sites.</li>
<li>Familiarize yourself with common <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/protect/yourself/phishing/identify.mspx" target="_blank">phishing scams</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h2>If you think you might have rogue security software on your computer:</h2>
<p><strong>Scan your computer.</strong> Use your antivirus software or do a free scan with <a href="http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm?s_cid=sah/?s_cid=sah" target="_blank">Windows Live safety scanner</a>. The safety scanner checks for and removes viruses, eliminates junk on your hard drive, and improves your PC&#8217;s performance.</p>
<p><strong>Check your accounts.</strong> If you think you might have entered sensitive information, such as credit card numbers or passwords into a pop-up window or at a rogue security software site, you should monitor your associated accounts.</p>

<p>This the beginners guide to using Facebook &#8211; one of today&#8217;s fastest growing social networking sites.</p>
<p>What is Facebook and why should you use it?</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.facebook.com/" target="_blank">Facebook</a></strong> is a social networking service that lets you connect with friends, co-workers, and others who share similar interests or who have common backgrounds. Many use it as a way to stay in touch after finishing school, or as a way to share their life publicly. <span id="more-245"></span>What makes Facebook different from other social networks are its extensive privacy controls, its development platform, and its large and quickly growing user base. Facebook has been called the &#8220;thinking person&#8217;s&#8221; social network. Compared to many other social networks, Facebook gets new features and improvements on a regular basis.</p>
<p><strong> </strong> </p>
<p>Facebook, like other social networks, is all about getting in touch with others. Luckily for novice users, Facebook has created some simple ways to find your friends using your e-mail address, or the buddy list from your aol account. You can also search by name, or pull up listings based on your computer&#8217;s address book.</p>
<div style="width: 300px;">Find your friends with Facebook&#8217;s built-in friend finder. </div>
<p>To get started adding friends to Facebook (many of who may already be on the system), I recommend a multipronged attack. Use your most active Web mail account (<a href="http://www.hotmail.com/" target="_blank">Hotmail</a>, as one example), and your AIM buddy list, which in some cases could pull up nearly everyone you know. Since everyone needs an e-mail address to sign up with Facebook, giving Facebook permission to use your existing address books should make it possible to track down everyone with whom you communicate.</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve added the people you know or remember (you can always add or delete them later on), one of your first steps should be filling out your own profile. You&#8217;re welcome to do this before tracking down your friends, but you&#8217;ll find that people are almost always constantly making tweaks to their profile, so nothing is set in stone. The two main things that are important here are a personal picture, and your contact information&#8211;both of which Facebook highlights when you&#8217;re setting things up. For profile pictures, it can be anything you&#8217;d like, and you can simply upload an image to the service from your hard drive. Filling out the rest of your profile is as simple as completing any Web form. You&#8217;re not required to include anything about yourself, so don&#8217;t feel too inclined to fill out information you don&#8217;t want others to see; which brings us to the topic of privacy, which you can read more about after the break&#8230;</p>
<p><em>Continue reading to learn about privacy, saying hello, &#8220;poking,&#8221; sharing bookmarks, and using Facebook applications. We&#8217;ll also delve into some advanced items, such as add-ons and hidden features.</em></p>
<p><!--pagebreak--><strong></strong> </p>
<p>Privacy is one of the key differentiators of Facebook from other social networking services. Facebook gives you the option to control what others see, right down to individual photo albums, or various pieces of personal information such as your address, phone number, and screen name on instant messaging services.</p>
<p> </p>
<div style="width: 162px;">Privacy controls you&#8217;ll find on the profile edit page. </div>
<p> </p>
<p>To control or limit the flow of information to others&#8211;including your friends&#8211;Facebook has set up some simple controls to adjust privacy. When setting up your profile, you might have noticed some little blue locks under your contact information. You can adjust each one of these for the information to be visible to everyone, just your friends, or no one at all.</p>
<p>Those little blue locks are just the tip of the iceberg. To dig deeper, beyond just contact information, click the privacy link on the top right of Facebook. This will take you to a control panel that lets you manage various elements of your profile, including: what users see when searching for you; what actions Facebook reports to others; and which people get limited, or no access to your profile. While you can go in to change any of these, the two most important ones that are worth tweaking are the profile settings (what parts of your profile people can see), and your news feed and mini-feed, which is a running ticker of your activity on the service. Some people are more than happy to let everyone know what they&#8217;re doing, but if you don&#8217;t feel like sharing this information with people, it&#8217;s worth taking a minute to tweak.</p>
<p>As far as what you should share with everyone, it&#8217;s whatever you&#8217;re comfortable with. I&#8217;d obviously recommend keeping your home address off, along with telephone numbers. Your best bet is to provide your real e-mail address, and limit it to friends only. If you do make your e-mail publicly available, try to use a secondary account, or one you use for spam.</p>
<p><strong></strong> </p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve got your profile set up and you&#8217;ve linked with several friends, there are a handful of ways to communicate with others. The first is the Wall, which is the de facto place to leave a note on everyone&#8217;s profile page. It&#8217;s completely public, so whatever you write, others will be able to see. As of last week, you&#8217;re now able to leave attachments on people&#8217;s Walls, including photos, videos, and all sorts of rich media items that have been integrated with Facebook applications, which we&#8217;ll be getting into later on.</p>
<p>Facebook also has its own e-mail service. One thing that makes this internal messaging service attractive is its conversation threading, which shows each message sent back and forth. It&#8217;s a great way to keep track of who said what, similar to what you get with <a href="http://gmail.com/" target="_blank">Gmail</a>. Just like Gmail, you can just begin typing in a friend&#8217;s name, or pick the &#8220;send FRIEND a message&#8221; from the list of commands under their profile picture. This will open up the message composition page, where you can write to your heart&#8217;s content and add various attachments, similar to what you&#8217;re able to do on their Walls. All of this can be managed under the In-box tab, which you&#8217;ll find on the top middle of the page.</p>
<div style="width: 630px;">(Left) Writing on people&#8217;s Walls is a public affair. People can see what you wrote, and visa versa. (Right) Facebook&#8217;s internal messaging service feels a bit like e-mail. </div>
<div style="width: 150px;">The poke option is found in the list of links below a profile picture. </div>
<p><strong></strong> </p>
<p>Newcomers to Facebook might be a little alarmed at the poking system, but don&#8217;t be scared. The poke is a subtle, wordless way of saying hello to someone you know&#8211;or, in some cases, don&#8217;t know. To poke anyone just pick the &#8220;Poke him/her&#8221; option on the list of actions below their profile picture. Your poke will show up in their notifications box when they log back in, and they&#8217;ll have the option to poke you back, or ignore it.</p>
<p>Poking is ultimately useless, although many would agree it&#8217;s one of the small charms and reminders that differentiates Facebook from other social networks.</p>
<p><strong></strong> </p>
<p>Social bookmarking services such as <a href="http://del.icio.us/" target="_blank">Del.icio.us</a> and <a href="http://www.digg.com/" target="_blank">Digg</a> are a cool way to share stories or bits of Web content you&#8217;ve found. Likewise, Facebook has its own sharing system built in. You can post items to your profile or send them to your friends on and off the service. Anyone you&#8217;ve shared items with can then leave comments and discuss the item with others.</p>
<p>There are two easy ways to share links on Facebook. One is to copy and paste a link to your sharing page. The other is to add the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/share_options.php?pwstdfy=50532ecf1540d514d313ce39ededa1e1" target="_blank">&#8220;share on Facebook&#8221; bookmarklet</a> to your browser&#8217;s bookmarks bar. If you intend on sharing things on a regular basis, I&#8217;d recommend adding the bookmarklet, as it gives you a one-click option to share something and continue browsing. Either way, once you&#8217;ve fed in a URL, it will scrape the page to grab any related pictures and a brief description. You can also go in and add your own text, which will show up right underneath it. Once you&#8217;re done tweaking it to your liking, you have the option to post it to your profile, or send it to others on or off Facebook.</p>
<div style="width: 130px;">Applications show up on the left-hand menu. </div>
<h2><strong>Applications/f8 platformOne of the biggest draws to Facebook came earlier this year with <a href="http://www.pacepcsolutions.com/8301-1_109-9722663-2.html" target="_blank">the launch of f8</a>, a platform for developers to make their own applications that integrate tightly with Facebook. Your friends can see what applications you&#8217;re using and vice versa, taking some of the effort out of finding what&#8217;s cool and what&#8217;s not. Applications reside mostly on your profile, for others to see. Many applications are like little Web sites that run right inside the service.</p>
<p>To find applications, there&#8217;s a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/apps/" target="_blank">built-in directory</a> on Facebook. This directory shows the newest and most popular applications, along with a counter of how many people are using them. Once you&#8217;ve found one you like, you can simply add it to your profile. There&#8217;s no software installation required&#8211;you&#8217;re simply telling Facebook you want access to it. Likewise, if you find one of your friends using an application, you can click the link to its name to find out more about it.</p>
<p>A listing of all your applications resides on the farthest left side of the page. To manage them, just click the &#8220;edit&#8221; button next to the applications link on top of the list. Here you can rearrange which applications make your short list (the small group of seven or less applications that resides on the left), edit various application settings, or get rid of ones you don&#8217;t want anymore.</p>
<p>Applications can be useful, but a word to the wise: get rid of the ones you don&#8217;t use anymore, and keep it clean. One of the things that makes Facebook so attractive is that its simplified profiles don&#8217;t distract or bombard you with visual overload. While personal style is an important part of social networking, adding too many applications to your profile can render things distracting to friends, who simply won&#8217;t bother visiting your profile page.</p>

<div style="margin-top:20px;">Have you watched Monday Night Football or the hottest Blu-Ray DVD on a big high-definition TV? It&#8217;s amazing. It&#8217;s incredible. The widescreen clarity is unmatched compared to older tube technology TVs. Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, Sharp, Toshiba, Philips, Mitsubishi, Pioneer, and other recognized TV manufacturers make amazing TVs. Even smaller brands like Vizio and Westinghouse are selling HDTVs.</div>
<div style="margin-top:5px;">Buying a new HDTV can be complicated. Do you buy an LCD or a plasma TV? How big should it be? What do all the different resolutions mean? Buy.com&#8217;s HDTV buying guide will help you navigate all the complications and buy the best TV for your needs!<span id="more-239"></span></div>

<div class="guidemenu" style="margin-top:20px;"><span style="color: #057835;"><strong>Plasma or LCD?</strong></span></div>
<div style="margin-top:5px;">The days of 32&#8243; tube TVs that weigh 90lbs are over. Flat-panel TVs with HD-quality is where TV technology is going. Screen sizes have continually increased, while prices have continually dropped.</div>
<div style="margin-top:20px;">While rear-projection TVs with technology like &#8220;DLP&#8221; or &#8220;LCOS&#8221; and digital projectors are still sold, most shoppers are deciding between Plasma and LCD TVs. Plasma and LCD displays are extremely popular because of their thin design, vivid picture quality, wide viewing angles, long viewing life, energy efficiency, and bright screens that are not overpowered by room lighting.</div>
<div style="margin-top:20px;">Historically, people bought LCD for smaller screens and Plasma for larger screens. Recent technology improvements and cost changes almost invalidate this rule. About 15% of HDTVs sold today are Plasma. Below are a few key considerations when choosing to buy a Plasma or LCD TV</div>
<div style="margin-top:20px;">General Plasma benefits over LCD include:</div>
<ul>
<li>Higher contrast ratio that produces deeper contrast and perfectly black &#8220;blacks&#8221;</li>
<li>Richer colors</li>
<li>Wider viewing angle for not sitting exactly in front of the TV, or for when a large groups watch the TV from different angles</li>
<li>Smoother video motion, especially for fast sports and video games</li>
<li>Better picture quality in darker rooms</li>
<li>Best value in the 52&#8243; + sizes</li>
<li>Lower price</li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-top:20px;">General LCD benefits over Plasma include:</div>
<ul>
<li>More efficient energy consumption</li>
<li>Less weight</li>
<li>Higher resolution</li>
<li>Better picture quality and less screen reflection in bright rooms</li>
<li>Comes in smaller TV sizes (Plasma generally starts at 42&#8243;)</li>
</ul>
<p><a name="b"></a></p>
<div class="guidemenu" style="margin-top:20px;"><span style="color: #057835;"><strong>Screen Size</strong></span></div>
<div style="margin-top:5px;">Plasma and LCD TVs come in a variety of sizes and available sizes vary by brand. Available LCD sizes in inches are 19, 22, 26, 32, 37, 40, 46, 52, 55, 65, and 70. Available Plasma sizes in inches are 42, 46, 50, 54, 58, 60, 63, and 65.</div>
<div style="margin-top:20px;">Screen size mainly depends on the size of the room and how far one will be from the screen. The first consideration is if the TV will simply fit. For example, a 32&#8243; LCD TV is a perfect fit for bedrooms and kitchens, while a 52&#8243; might not fit. For living rooms that have space for a larger TV, bigger is almost always better.</div>
<div style="margin-top:20px;">The second consideration is your seating distance from the screen. Screen size is a balance between seating distance and the picture clarity you see. With a high-quality TV and a HD-quality video input, you can sit closer without noticing the screen pixels or picture noise. Sitting too close to a TV with a lower quality picture, like a VCR or analog cable, will reveal an unimpressive picture.</div>
<div style="margin-top:20px;">Recommended seating distance is simple math. Standard definition TVs look best when at 4 to 5 times the screen size. High definition TVs offer higher resolution, so can sit closer to a larger TV and not notice pixels.</div>
<div style="margin-top:20px;">For HDTVs, the optimal seating distance is about 2 times the screen size, depending on the quality of the video input. We recommend a minimum ratio of 3 and a maximum of 1.5</div>
<div style="margin-top:20px;">To calculate your recommended HDTV size that balances size and image quality, take your viewing distance in inches and divide by 2. For example, if your sofa will be 8 feet away from the TV, your viewing distance in inches is 96 inches. 96 inches divided by 2 gives a recommended screen size of about 46 inches that maximizes screen size with picture clarity. The minimum would be 32 inches and the maximum would be 64 inches.</div>
<p><a name="d"></a></p>
<div class="guidemenu" style="margin-top:20px;"><span style="color: #057835;"><strong>Display resolution &#8211; 720p, 1080i, 1080p</strong></span></div>
<div style="margin-top:5px;">All the numbers simply describe the HDTV’s resolution, with 1080p being the highest resolution available to reveal the most image detail and sharpness. The numbers count the number of horizontal lines of pixels. For example, 1080p offers a screen resolution of 1920&#215;1080. HDTVs have up to six times more pixels than standard definition TVs, which translates to dramatically higher picture quality. 1080p also offers twice as much resolution as 720p displays.</div>
<div style="margin-top:20px;">When compared to 1080i, 720p offers less image blur when fast-moving images like sports. The &#8220;p&#8221; stands for progressive-scan, meaning that the resolution lines are uniformly refreshed at the same time. The &#8220;i&#8221; in 1080i stands for interlaced, which means that odd and even numbered resolution lines alternatively refresh to the new image. Most HD television is broadcasted in 1080i, which is compatible with 1080p TVs.</div>
<div style="margin-top:20px;">A general rule of thumb is that for screen sizes above 40 inches, get the best resolution possible &#8211; 1080p. You&#8217;ll see the difference. For screens smaller than 40 inches, or if you plan to sit very far from the HDTV, the visible difference among the different HD resolutions is minimal. 720p should suffice as a cost-efficient solution.</div>
<div style="margin-top:20px;">One concern about 1080P is the currently limited number of input sources. Right now, Blu-Ray and HD-DVD players are the main sources for 1080p content (PS3 and Xbox 360 qualify). The highest resolution from cable boxes, satellite TV, and over-the-air broadcast is 1080i. Nevertheless, 1080p is still an excellent choice for future-proofing your investment and seeing the most incredible video images available on a TV. A 1080p display showing a Blu-Ray movie looks absolutely incredible.</div>
<p><a name="e"></a></p>
<div class="guidemenu" style="margin-top:20px;"><span style="color: #057835;"><strong>Refresh rate</strong></span></div>
<div style="margin-top:5px;">When buying an LCD, refresh rate is an important consideration because LCDs have historically been weaker than Plasma TVs at displaying motion without blurring, especially on larger screens. Plasma TVs do not have refresh rates given their inherent technology.</div>
<div style="margin-top:5px;">240Hz is the latest technology for the highest LCD refresh rate available. There are still many TVs on the market using 120Hz technology, which was introduced in late 2007, as a way to make on-screen motion appear smoother than the standard 60Hz.</div>
<div style="margin-top:20px;">The typical LCD refresh rate is 60Hz with 60 video frames per second, so 120Hz is twice as fast and 240Hz is four times faster. If you plan to display fast sports, action movies, or video games on your LCD, seriously consider buying a TV with 240Hz technology. It’s essentially blur-free.</div>
<p><a name="f"></a></p>
<div class="guidemenu" style="margin-top:20px;"><span style="color: #057835;"><strong>LCD backlighting</strong></span></div>
<div style="margin-top:5px;">In the LCD market, LED (Light Emitting Diode) backlighting is the latest technology and entering the market in high-end televisions.</div>
<div style="margin-top:20px;">Prior to LEDs, CCFLs (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) were used in LCDs. In CCFL LCDs, essentially there is a lamp that adjusts its brightness to improve black levels and contrast ratios. LED backlight screens have a layer of LEDs arranged in a grid. Depending on the picture on the screen, LEDs can be dimmed or switched off to produce the proper image. This leads to huge dynamic contract ratios that produce deep blacks. In very dark rooms, an LED TV displaying dark content will literally disappear in the background. LEDs are also more energy efficient.</div>
<div style="margin-top:20px;">LED backlighting is more Plasma-like in its motion handling because the LEDs flash on and off. LED TVs are also generally the thinnest TVs available.</div>
<p><a name="g"></a></p>
<div class="guidemenu" style="margin-top:20px;"><span style="color: #057835;"><strong>Comparing HDTVs in the store</strong></span></div>
<div style="margin-top:5px;">Walking into a retail store and seeing dozens of huge TVs can be exciting and overwhelming. Most shoppers will try to compare the image quality of the screens they see to say one is better than the other. In most retail stores, this is not the best way to compare TVs.</div>
<div style="margin-top:20px;">This is because screens are generally not calibrated equally in retail stores. Screens that have their brightness and contrast on the max setting will look &#8220;better&#8221; relative to one that is not tuned so strongly. However, the colors will not be accurate or realistic. If you&#8217;re going to a retail store to look at TVs, just see if you like the way the TVs physically look. Ignore the displayed pictures and focus on the stats behind the pictures, like resolution, contrast ratio, refresh rate, and number of video inputs. Also read product reviews.</div>
<p><a name="h"></a></p>
<div class="guidemenu" style="margin-top:20px;"><span style="color: #057835;"><strong>Other purchase considerations</strong></span></div>
<div style="margin-top:5px;">The TV itself is a significant investment. However, note that you may need to budget for more than just the TV. Additional costs to consider include:</div>
<ul>
<li>Video cables to connect your game system, DVD player, and other video inputs to the TV. HDMI cables are the best and should support the HDMI 1.3 specification</li>
<li>Wall mount in case you want to mount your TV on the wall instead of using a stand</li>
<li>Installation charges should you opt for wall-mounting and don&#8217;t want to install yourself</li>
<li>TV stand or furniture as an alternative to wall mounting</li>
<li>Color correction to perfectly set all the contrast, brightness, and myriad of other settings that maximize your picture quality. Professional calibration services are available. Home calibration kits are available for those who want to do it themselves.</li>
<li>Extended warranty to protect your investment</li>
<li>Upgrading TV input from your cable or satellite provider to HD-quality to take advantage of the HDTV picture quality</li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-top:20px;">LCD and Plasma HDTVs have taken over the TV market. Compared to their old tube counterpart, these HDTVs have dramatically improved pictures, bigger screen sizes, and take up less space. Each manufacturer has many models. This buying guide will help you navigate the important considerations when buying your next HDTV!</div>
