Best 7 Inch TV

The best 7 inch TV has to be the one that fits your lifestyle. I know this sounds like a bit of a cop-out, and maybe it is, but think about this; not all of the best 7 in TV sets are the same. There are differences in price, quality, and yes, size. Size is a major factor. While it is true that the screen is 7 inches diagonally in nearly every case, what about the rest of the TV? The old school tube televisions are a lot more bulky than say the new, top on the line LEDs or LED backlit LCD TVs. This makes a big difference when you think about where you are going to put this little modern marvel of convenience. So think about where you are going to put your TV and factor that into things.

Quality is yet another issue. This goes to where you are going to be using your TV. A nice, mid quality LCD TV would be the best 7 in TV for your kitchen where it is always bright, but not so much for say a bedroom, where there isn’t that much ambient light. Keep that in mind.

Going back to case size again. Not to be beating a dead horse, but think about this too; will you be mounting your TV and where? An under the cabinet kitchen mount is easy, but make sure you have some pace to do that. In a vehicle is a completely different prospect and requires a lot more forethought, or at least a trained professional taking a look at things first.

When looking for the best 7 inch TV for your vehicle, take into consideration that there are TVs specifically for an automobile. The voltage in a car is different from that in your house, and while you can buy power inverters, if you become too dependent on these messy alternatives, you run the chance of blowing a fuse in your vehicle. This is not good.

Now let’s do a quick rundown of the two main types of TVs on the market today in the 7 inch range. This will be important to know for the sake of comparison. So get out your notebooks, I’m going to school you a bit.

First off we have the LED backlit LCD TV. These are less expensive than the pure LED TVs. Typically their issues have been that they have a hard time achieving a true black on the screen. Often the picture will be a little deep purple instead of true black. For a few dollars more you can get a higher quality LCD TV with the newest technology that has pretty much eliminated this problem. The good news is that this only becomes an issue in a room that is very poorly lit or completely black.

LED TVs are traditionally heavier than their LCD cousins and also a little bulkier. This is due to all the LED lights used to make a picture. You will get a crisp picture no matter what the lighting conditions (within reason). But you will also have to think about price; LEDs are typically the more expensive of the two types of TVs. The heavier weight isn’t that big of an issue, but depending on your mounting technique, it is a factor to consider.

So deciding which is the best 7 inch TV for you does boil down to personal preference. See? I wasn’t just making excuses. The good news is that virtually everything on the market has stabilized and become more even as far as competition goes. At this stage in the game that is a very good thing because it gives one a few options when out shopping.
