TV ignorance

Start watching the specials on what is available on plasma or with a projector. I am more of a projector fan. The unit is small and I can create an instant theater simply by pulling down the screen. You need a room that is in the very least 10' deep.

whatever you do, make it High Definition compatible. If you are luck enough to be living in an area that gets High Definition (UHF) broadcasts, you will be amazed by what you were missing. I recently put such an antenna up and I am sitting here, just wondering why I didn't pay any attention to those transmissions that have been bouncing off of my house for so long, going utterly un-noticed.

Also, such broadcasts come with digital audio signals and some of the PBS music stuff is very sweet.

Uncle Jeff, don't have the 10' Are you saying plasma instead of lcd?

If I were buying a 42" plasma, I would choose the Sony KDE-42XBR950KIT. It is the first plasma I have seen that does not look like a plasma. I first saw it a few months ago in the Sony store at the Moscone Center in San Fransico while I was attending a conference. I sat there during lunch break for over an hour watching some HDTV Discovery Channel footage. The picture quality was simply stunning. I think it is about $9,000 list, a bit too rich to my taste.

unless space were limited, i would opt for other than LCD OR PLASMA.
Neither LCD or Plasma flat panel TV's are known for having the the blackest blacks.

Front projectors are great, but you need to make sure you have alot of control over the light level in the room.

I still think that some of the newer rear-projection TVS have the sharpest image available.

The plasma's and LCD's are great for space saving, they also have that GeeWizz effect.
