Consumer Reports App Takes Mystery Out of HDTV Shopping

[MacNewsWorldwide]

Consumer Reports Mobile Shopper: TVs 2012 , an app from Consumers Union of U.S., is available for US$1.99 at the Mac App Store.

Anyone shopping for a new TV will be well-equipped to deal with the mind-numbing array of options in the market with an app from Consumer Reports made specifically for the HDTV buyer. Despite a few small performance hiccups, its lists, features and stats will help shoppers whittle down their options and hopefully get the most bang for their buck.

As an app, it offers up comparison shopping information for dozens of TVs, including front projection, LCD, plasma and 3D TVs. Users get the expected Consumer Reports feature ratings, as well as Consumer Reports buying recommendations. For newbies (and somewhat informed buyers), Consumer Reports has packaged up an Expert Buying Advice section that clarifies how to get started shopping for a TV (i.e., pointing out that your budget will likely start the process). The app then breaks down the important elements for you, like types, features, brand considerations and shopping tips.
