Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Some pointers

All three brands are pretty reliable so look for -

1. Skin colour - they can differ so look for the most appealing. I'm assuming here that the definition (clarity) of picture is much the same on all sets.

2. Video inputs of component (for DVD), possibly S-video and composite. Some sets have SCART connectors at the back which make connection to another component (such as a video recorder or DVD player) with SCART easy but this is not common on video recorders and DVD players so is unimportant.

3. A video switching system so you can connect a video recorder as well as a DVD player.

4. A remote control that is ergonomic. Picture yourself using it in a darkened room to see if you could use it easily.

5. If you do not yet have a DVD or video recorder to use with the set, look at the possibility of having one in the future of the same brand so the one remote will operate both units. That would make life a lot easier.

We have 3 Sony sets in this house and they have been very reliable.
