You may notice that there's a lot of lingo when it comes to today's televisions. High definition TVs are called HDTVs; ultra-high definition TVs are called UHDTVs; and then retailers toss in terms like LED TVs and LCD TVs. You're probably saying, 'S-O-S, ASAP!' To help you make sense of the lingo, here are some of the basics you should know as you search for the perfect TV.

• High definition and ultra-high definition refer to the TV's picture resolution. HDTVs and UHDTVs have a greater picture resolution (also known as picture quality) than standard TVs.
• LED stands for light emitting diode and LCD stands for liquid crystal display.
• The differences between the two TVs come down to the device's backlight source.
• LED TVs are backlighted by light emitting diodes rather than fluorescent lights, which is what LCD TVs use. LED TVs produce higher picture and color quality than LCDs.

It wasn't too many years ago when TVs were big and boxy. Today, modern electronics are rail thin, light, and robust. Rent-A-Center's lineup of lease-to-own LED TVs and LCD TVs offer cinematic-quality audio and video, smart technologies, and streaming capabilities. These flat TVs bring you the best in power, picture resolution, and communications. Some of the features you'll enjoy with a rent-to-own TV include:

• Thin as a Whistle: We've got the best in razor thin flat screen TVs
• Big and Bigger: RAC has HDTVs in a range of screen sizes, from 24 inches to 70 inches
• Apps Galore: Smart TVs come with preloaded apps for entertainment, gaming, and more

Smaller rental HDTVs, such as the 24-inch and 30-inch models are ideal for small spaces, like guest rooms, dorm rooms, or kitchens. Larger screen sizes, such as our 55-inch, 60-inch, and 70-inch TVs, work perfectly in areas where many people will be watching, like the living room or game room. Let the entertainment begin.
