Most people think of television as that box that dominates their living room But there's no reason why a TV has to

e limited to just one room. That's why a new TV could be the most welcomed gift for even the most demanding person on your holiday shopping list

“Whether it's a gift for the entire family, a close relative or a special friend, there is a color TV to meet every need,” says Joseph P. Clayton, executive vice president of marketing and sales, Thomson Consumer Electronics. “Big-screen monitor receivers are the closest thing to recre ating the movie experience in the home, a mid-size screen is ideal for bedroom or recreation room use, and many small screens are. AC/DC mod els that deliver instant entertainment either at home or on the go. Color TVs come in all sizes with a price to fit any budget and a design to match any room decor.

The TV, of course, is a sophisticated piece of electromics that serves a multi tude of informational. educational and, of course. entertainment uses. The lat est models offer a greater variety of sophisticated audio and video features than ever before. “Televisions are probably more technically complex than a computer is.” says Tom Edwards, assistant general manager of Panasonic's television division. “What device do you have today that can access 125 Cable channels, (play back)

tens of thousands of movies on video, have built-in stereo systems and closed captioning on either main or second audio programming? Your better TVs have improved audio and surround sound packages, some even as sophisti cated as complete Dolby Surround Sound systems.”

Sound and picture are not the only enhanced features on today’s sophisti cated TVs. All new sets 13 inches and larger are equipped with Caption Vision (CC), closed captioning that displays the dialog from programs in text form at the bottom of the screen. This fea ture not only makes a new TV a con Siderate and thoughtful gift for the hearing impaired, but can be an impor tant learning device for children of adults learning to read

“It seems that every holiday season. the major color TV manufacturers offer the consumer even greater value than in years past, and 1993 will be no exception,” says Mark Stephenson, vice president of marketing, Magnavox. “This year, key consumer oriented featurés such as simplified remote controls, multiple picture-in Picture, On-screen set-up menus and stereo sound will be available on more lower-priced models than ever before *

There is a TV for everyone on your gift st. TVs come in all sizes. such as tiny personal black-and-white and color sets for those on the go. and small-screen sets for the kitchen or

bedroom. But if your family loves movies, bigger is definitely better Manufacturers have created a new and dazzling array of larger screen TVs at reasonable prices. These include 16:9 widescreen TVs that are one-third wider than standard TVs and that elim inate the black bars above and below the picture of the growing number of widescreen presentations on home video, such as “Lawrence of Arabia and “Ben Hur.”

“The perfect gift for the whole family is a giant-screen home theater TV, from 33-inch and 35-inch direct view sets to 46-inch to 60-inch rear-projection models,” says Steve Sigman, director of marketing for Zenith. “For the ulti mate home theater experience, look for advanced video imaging circuitry. and surround sound capability ”

But the best reason to think of a TV as a perfect gift is because the TV 1 the one device that everyone wants and needs. “Consumers spend many hours per day watching television. and for many people, it is the first thing they turn on when they enter their home says Steve Search. director of market ing, Sharp Audio/Video Division. “Sc what better gift to give during the holi days than a television set”
