You want the size of your TV to be appropriate for the size of your room, considering viewing distance and your budget. If you have a large room where you want to place your TV, consider whether you want to view it from a small conversation area, or from anywhere in the room. LCD TVs are now available in a wide range of sizes.
Performance
 Resolution -- Look for high-definition resolution -- 1080p (1920x1080 pixels). It should also be compatible with other formats -- 1080i, 720P, 480P, 480i. You need 1080p to view and HD DVDs in native full resolution, You also need 1080p for best results with gaming and computer applications.
 Color -- Look for well-saturated color and deep blacks.
 Viewing conditions -- What is the viewing angle of the new TV from which viewers will get a good clear image? A matte screen surface helps avoid distracting reflections.

Design
When the room lights are darkened, viewers focus on the image -- not the design of the TV. When room lights are on, I would like the TV to be non-obtrusive, not fancy -- just the basic black look of the frame.
Price
In the end, price trumps! Look for the best value for your money. You know your budget,
