LCD Screen Size

GMC, you were right! Thanks all, I think I'll try to swing the 32 inch widescreen. I watch mostly movies and all or at least 99% of my movie dvd's are widescreen as I detest pan and scan. I do watch some tv series dvd's as well. Anyone have a particular brand preference. I have seen a 32 inch Magnovox for 849.00 Costco apparently has a Texas Insruuments for 799.00, sam esize as above. I don't think I should spend more than a grand. I know this limits me but it'a all I can do.

I just read this:

One of the larger and dumber mistakes my wife and I made was to get a flat-screen 32" Sharp Aquous (sp?) LCD to replace an older 27" Mitsubishi. At the time the Sharp cost $4500 (gag!), and we finally admitted to ourselves that the Mitsubishi not only had a better picture -- even considering the Hi Def Sharp -- but a larger image area. Dave

Just wait a bit longer. With a Vizio 50" plasma with a Faroudja scaler and 2 HDMI inputs now priced at $2K MRSP (and receiving praise in this month's The Perfect Vision), it won't be long before $1K buys a large flatscreen. The Chinese LCD factories are just coming on line and there will be huge economies of scale in the next 12 mos.

I've heard of this Vizio just recently. Thanks for all the input.
