Buying a new TV

[Bike Effects]

I sell the semiconductors into new TVs and meet with Samsung, LG, Sony, Sharp etc frequently. Most everyone is putting thier latest technology into LCDs. Plasma is a waning technology and won't be around for much longer. You didn't say how large a TV you want, but if it is in the 50" range, I will suggest LCD. I suggest Samsung, LG for the best deal. Both are very good. Sharp and Sony are also good, but might be a bit more pricey. LCD will have three advantages: it will be thinner, lighter and also consumer less power. Many of the LCDs do not even have fans. The plasma's always have fans to cool the electronics that drive the display.
The TV you get will be HD. Go ahead and get an HD cable or satellite box. You will marvel at the difference. And it doesn't cost but a few dollars more per month.

My 6 1/2 year old plasma seems to be taking its time "waning". 6 1/2 years of glorious, trouble free pictures. Fan must be inop......never heard it. :lol:

Go with a projector and enjoy the 14' screen!

I absolutely LOVE our theater room. Granted, our screen is only 10'.
