TV's... what does the typical audiophile have?

Typical audiophile would answer, "What's a TV?"

I have a 27" GAOO Panasonic from '91. I download lots of stuff and watch on my laptop which has a 14" screen. I prefer watching things on my laptop. And, I am considering getting the sorta new Sharp 17" monitor/tv.

I am a History channel junkie... I was watching "Samurai" instead of the Laker game last nite... = X

Good choice Ed, if you live in LA who wants see a bunch of spoiled, lazy, over-paid punks get out worked and out played by an honest hardnosed team. After the game a KABC guy was interviewing Isiah Thomas. Now there's a guy that knows about heart and determination! He was talking about how physically and mentally draining the games were when the Pistons and Lakers played in the late '80's. Then walks in Magic and he says that this isn't the real Pistons/Lakers series. THEIRS WAS 16 years ago. I couldn't agree more.

LIke Ed, I am a Discovery Channel, History Channel fool. With the great programming they have whether it's Mystery of the Black Mummy, In Search of Genghis Khan's Tomb, The Real History of Troy, The Rise and Fall of the Spartans, or The Planets, I am enjoying my little 20" Sony TV.

With that kind of cool programming, DirecTivo, my Canopus AVDC100, and my hotrodded Apple Cube with iMovie and iDVD I'm able to enjoy and archive all my favorite shows on history and science.

The little wall mounted Sony has been good to me, but I'm considering getting the Panasonic TH-37PWD6UY o replace it.

I have a Dukane ImagePro 9015 projector that I picked up from a DotBomber (failed software-guy) and I love it. I am lucky enough to live in an area where off-air HD TV is available and I recently upgraded my Satellite to HD.

Of network TV I usually only watch Football, 60 minutes and, sometimes Star Trek. PBS is great.

The Satellite HBO, Showtime and ESPN are lots of fun.

I prefer the projector as this is how movies were made to be seen in the theater.

I have a Sony 32" XBR TV in the family room and no other tv sets. We are waiting for the prices to get lower and for more HD stations but I am looking a DLP (Samsung 50") and plasma (Marantz 42") sets. Several of my friends have recently purchased the Samsung 50" Wide Screen HDTV with DLP and like it very much. My audio retailer recommends the Marantz Plasma.

I have upgraded to a Hitachi 51" HDTV. It is on most of the time. I`m the only one that cares about picture or sound. MY wife would rather lay in bed and watch history channel on our 20" Panasonic. I mentioned putting speakers in there and she nixed it really fast. I guess as long as I get the honey-do's done on time...
