OT--TV suggestions?
OK, we have finally decided to look into getting an HD TV.
We have a cabinet that can hold a 40"-50" TV. I know nothing about the newer TV's. I don't know the different types (plasma? Thin screen?). We would hope to pay = $650. Any suggestions on type/model? Mel |

Since then, can't say. |

PS. The site I mentioned is UK based, and in some instances model numbers
for the same panel are different in UK and US. But even idf you're US based, yoiu may find it useful. "MZB" wrote in message ... OK, we have finally decided to look into getting an HD TV.

Mel Mel, I don't know about the UK, but here in the US the place to start is http://www.avsforum.com/ Do your research there first, then shop. I bought a 56" Samsung 1080p DLP TV back in 2007 at Best Buy, with some coupons, etc around Christmas for about $1,300, which back then was a steal. Of course DLP is now out, and LCD is the major player. Now the choices seem to be LCD's with 120 or 240 MHz (I think) refresh rates. Check the reliability ratings too, since my DLP had one light engine (read CPU & MB in computer terms) replaced within the first year. Might be the only purchase, depending on price, where I would recommend an extended warranty. Check with your credit card company too, as they used to offer free 1-year additional warranty above the manufacturer. One guy on the forums got a new TV after his failed from his CC company. Samsung also had an extra 6 months added to the 1-year warranty when registering online. I was in Sams Club the other day and they had some good prices on LCD's and Plasmas. Try Costco too. The warehouse stores also offer extended warranties much cheaper than other stores. Amazon is also a good place to shop, Lastly, get the largest screen you can afford, you won't regret it! Good luck shopping, Pat |
