So we're getting a new tv because ours is really busted. It works, but barely. We're limited in size by our entertainment center, so the absolute maximum width for a tv is 27". After looking at bunch we decided on a 24" Toshiba flatscreen. The same size Sony WEGA was choice #1, but unfortunately it's a bit too wide. Anyhow, Best Buy has two of these, last year's $199 and this year's $299. I called up BB and they assured me there was no physical difference aside from the fact that one was made last year. I'm wondering which model I should go for (obviously the $199 if they are identical) and if I should avoid Toshiba or not. I don't really know much about tvs. I tend to stay away from the unheard-of brands due to my ignorance. There's also a 27" Panasonic I was looking at (the non-HDTV sells for about $250, the HDTV version is a lot more). Anyway, any insight would be great! Also, should I bother with HDTV? How many channels actually use it? This isn't the be all end all tv, just something that works until we move on to bigger and better things.
