Unless you have been on a desert island for the last few years, you will be aware of the rise of the LCD HDTV format. There are advertisements for them everywhere and you probably know of several friends that have them already. If you have not yet considered buying a LCD HDTV, then perhaps now is the time that you should. Prices are getting lower and if you do your research you can get a great deal.
It is not until you see a LCD HDTV in reality that you realize the difference in visual quality to standard televisions of the past. The market data seems to indicate that LCD HDTV’s are here to stay. In 2007 sales of lcd televisions surpassed the standard format for the first time.
Should you decide to purchase a LCD HDTV then you probably have a few queries. This article will help you understand the most commonly asked questions about them. LCD HDTV means Liquid Crystal Display High Definition Television. These televisions are thinner and flatter than the standard models of the past and are comprised of a fixed number of colors or pixels that shine in front of a light source. high definition television is a digital system that has a much higher resolution than standard models.
So as you can see, the LCD HDTV provides a far superior television than the more conventional systems. In comparison to the standard television models there are a great deal of benefits. A LCD HDTV is thinner and flatter and this allows you to place one in a small room without compromising space. Many people like to fix the LCD HDTV to a wall as this helps to maximize the living space even more.
One of the great things about these HDTV’s is that they provide theater-like visual and sound quality. They are almost always in wide screen with the aspect ratio set at 16:9, which is the same as a movie theater screen. All HDTV’s are also capable of using Dolby Digital Surround.
Perhaps the best feature of an LCD HDTV is the picture quality. When you see the picture for the first time you are struck by the sharpness of the picture and the amount of detail in comparison to a standard television. The images in a HDTV are twice as sharp as that of a conventional model. This is because it uses a greater lineal resolution that makes the image appear more lifelike and provides richer colors. This technology also greatly reduces interference as the HDTV signal does not display lines or snowing on the picture.
Should you purchase a HDTV and then plug it in at home you may be disappointed to only get a standard picture. In order to receive the full benefits of an LCD HDTV you will need to get a HD receiver and the HD channels.
The most important factor beforehand is finding out whether you can get a HD source. In order to receive the HD signal you need to check the satellite or cable provider in your city for further details.
Assuming this to be the case, you will then need to purchase a HD box so that you can start to receive the high-definition signal. Most providers are launching new versions of popular channels in high-definition all the time so once you are set up then you will be able to enjoy the complete visual and audio experience that the LCD HDTV provides.

If you file Chapter 7, is there a statute of limitations on how long a bank can wait to reposess property?
Specifically, it’s a TV purchased w/ a Best Buy credit card (which is actually financed by Household Bank.) I read the fine print on the credit application, and this IS considered a secured loan. The bankruptcy will be considered officially discharged in about 2 weeks. As of yet, they have not contacted my lawyer regarding reaffirming the debt. I’m asking because whether or not I keep the TV will affect some other decisions I need to make such as buying an HD tuner and antenna. At what point can I assume I get to keep the television?
Why are you filing Chapter 7? when your still buying crap? Grow up!! If you can afford to Buy HD tuner and antenna, then you can afford to pay your debts first. That is the adult responsible thing to do. The rest of the adult world does it!
My comments were not immature they were the truth!
If my comments hit home then that’s your problem.
Your the one who spent the money.
Immaturity is when you don’t take responsible for your own actions!!
Try having bad credit because someone else ran your credit cards up.
I have spent the last 5 years trying to get it straightened out.
I still have collectors calling me. I change my phone number about once a year.
And the kicker is I can’t file bankruptcy on others peoples debt but they sure as hell harass me about it!
Guilt is not a becoming virtue of a debt-addict!
You keep trying to rationalize to me your behavior. I am not the one you need to come clean with on Yahoo Q&A.
First step in recovery is atmitting your defeated. Then go from there. Your wanting absolution from others. It is not obtainable.
Your Question on here was like asking if it was okay.
Well your going to get some opinion and I am a German Cherokee Taurus. And I have the balls to give it!! lolol Oh and a redhead too! lol

Just becaue the contract provides for a debt to be secured doesn’t mean that it is: credit card companies’ claims are often unsecured. There was a series of Sears, Roebuck cases on that.
I haven’t practiced bankruptcy law in some years. You can assume that the period for filing adversarial proceedings is over and then when the case is closed and you are discharged, you are home free.
Most lawyers say that you should almost NEVER reaffirm a debt. The stuff — TVs and household goods especially — are never worth the unpaid balance. And cars rarely are.
Good luck. If you need more info, read the Nolo Press book http://www.nolo.com and if that’s not enough your county law library may have the NCLC lawyer’s manual and certainly will have other bankrutpcy treatises that provide authoritative answers. Not like Y! Q/A.
A final note: as the other person said, stop buying stuff, at least stop buying stuff retail. Go to eBay. Buy other people’s mistakes, cheap.

It depends on the bank, they are friendly to customers but they can’t let others money go down the drain,can they.

It depends on whether you told the truth to the bankruptcy court., and whether the whole balance of the Best Buy card was discharged. Did the court ask you if you had any secured debt? Did you mention Best Buy? Or did you just tell them Best Buy was unsecured?
Also did you tell the court about 100% of your assets and income? If so, how do you have enough left to buy HD stuff?
If you told the whole truth, and Best Buy was completely discharged, you can probably keep the TV.
If you didn’t tell the whole truth, you aren’t going to get much sleep for a long time. They can ruin your life anytime they find out. The TV will be nothing compared to that.
