Buy LED, LCD or Plasma


Going for a new TV. Any hints, warnings or advice? It will go over the fireplace instead of the rug there now.

Two HDMI would work, U-verse HDTV box and the Oppo Blue Ray player.

There is about 50 foot run from high on the fireplace to my Oppo Blue Ray and the rest of my stereo gear. If I put the U-verse box in with stereo, I could run it and Blue Ray via HDMI into Oppo switcher.

The Oppo switcher is 1.3 compliant, amplifies and corrects signal up to 50-75 ft. This also keeps the Blue Ray next to my preamp. One set of RCA interconnects from Blue Ray and / or U-verse box would send sound through my music system.
Pioneer Kuro, best I've seen, easy on the eyes, smooth, film-like natural colors (no bleeding edges) and the deepest blacks.

More money, but worth seeking out !
You can still find Kuros available. They do have the best picture I've seen, but they are expensive and max out at 60". The latest Panny's are almost as good and that 65" model costs less than the 60" Kuros.
Albert try to find the Pioneer KRP-600M. This is a 60 inch plasma and is the last model they made. The blacks are way ahead of any Pany out there. Don't worry about Pioneer out of the business. If you want the best this is it. I paid 3200.00 for this with free shipping from a NY retailer about 3 months ago. They have an extended warranty and will replace it with an appropriate new model if it breaks. They sell Panasonic as well.
