In general, I try to buy things used, if possible. Something thats even just a few months old can be had for like .25 cents on the dollar. Pawn shops, etc.
Unless it's a big ticket item like a freezer or something then I'll go new with the extended warranty.
I think the plasma and lcd tvs are terribly expensive, and if you are not going to mount it on the wall, think about the tube tv.
I love that TV. The best HDTV show for checking out the picture is CSI Miami. Vibrant sunny scenes of Miami. CSI NY is too gray, and CSI the original always seems to be at night. But if you want to consistently see a good picture, check out CSI Miami for the panoramic shots of Miami.
Now that makes it a difference....how many in the family and what about distance from sitting area to where you want the TV?
Reason that is important is that with LCD the angle of viewing is pretty much straight on....

Look at the reviews. They've never let me down.
Not true. All over the air broadcasts will go digital, they may or may not be HD. You will need a ATSC tuner to decode the broadcast signal.
Ken is correct! Not all digital broadcasts will be HD.
Thanks for catching that.
What I'm curious to know is what impact will the Digital broadcasts have on cable TV networks (Comcast, Charter, etc).
They clearly are pushing Digital Cable services, but have any announced plans to drop the current Analog broadcasts?

Five plus friends up to 10 kids sitting in a fifteen by fourteen room.

Great selections. Where are the reviews?
I've recently purchased a RCA 27" "SDTV" at Walmart. It's a "standard" resolution television, which has both analog (NTSC) and digital (ATSC) tuners. It has separate inputs (co-axial cable) for both.
IMO At just over $200, it was a relatively inexpensive (compared to HDTV sets) way to see what digital signals were available to me.
One thing I've discovered: In my area, many (most) stations inexplicably transmit their digital signals at a fraction of the strength of their analog signal. I.E. 316,000 watts for VHF-analog, vs. 30,000 watts for UHF-digital. If you live in the sticks, and/or don't subscribe to digital cable/satellite, they may not be a whole lot on the digital dial.

Ok I need GUY input here.
Not the 3000 dollar one, but the rest of them. I want the best picture for the dollar the 1080 pix thing.
Opinion?
Stinking typos.
Actually, I'd be the last fella to ask.
I'm color blind. I've never paid attention to DPI and all those terms.
Sorry.
If it's digital, you'll not have to use a digital converter.
What's TV?
Ping.
