How hard is it to install an LCD HDTV?
Thursday, March 11th, 2010 | Author:

I reckon I found a excellent deal on a LG LCD HDTV but I’m not sure of the difficulty of installing the thing in my home. I would reckon it’s just like hooking up any other TV other than upgrading my cable box to HD. Any suggestions or help?

You don’t even need to upgrade your cable box to HD to use your new HDTV.

Just plug it in to the wall.

Connect the best available video output from your cable box which your TV supports (HDMI, component video, S-video, or regular RCA video, in that order) to your new TV.

Connect the best available audio output from your cable box which your TV supports (optical digital or regular RCA stereo, in that order) to your new TV.

Then delight in!

Your present cable box probably doesn’t have HDMI, and it may not have component video either. When you upgrade to HD cable, you’ll get one and/or the other. You should still be able to use your present cables, but you’ll have to buy a new video cable(s) to delight in the full benefits of higher resolution.
