The old Mitsubishi just took a dirt nap. May she RIP. Seven years of reliable service. I guess she lived a good life. Now, though, I must move on........and I haven't looked at the TV market in all these years. Here is what little I do know......
Based on what little research I have done, HDTV is the way to go. I have no interest in LCD, Plasma, etc. Being that I watch little TV, (I usually watch the Giants lose on Sundays in the autumn and winter), my needs are fairly basic.
I'm thinking 36 to 45 inches, with a top end of around $3K. I want to stick it in the room and be done with it. Let the kids fight over it at that point.
With that said, is there anything I should be looking for or wary of?
One area of confusion for me: there are two types of HDTV? One type includes a tuner, and the other doesn't? Can someone clarify this for me?
Also, I'm with Comcast cable. Do I need to do anything with them to make it all work? The last thing I want is to be running dishes off my roof. I'm looking for plug and play, basically.
Finally, based on your experiences, what and where do you recommend?
