In the market for a new TV...

I would like to stay under $250 for a Flat-screen TV if it's possible. It would be nice to have S-video. I care mostly about picture quality, and not about the sound.

For the last two years, I've been watching TV on a tiny 19" TV/VCR combo that my roommate got for $20 with a pretty decent home theater system (Paradigm speakers through a Yamaha receiver). It's about time to upgrade.

Thanks.

 
Well, my DVD player has an s-video out. I have a decent S-video cable that I purchased awhile ago as well. That's why. But if it makes little difference, I'm willing to go with whatever's good.

I bought a KV27FS120 for my room (Sony Wega) and I love it. I had a 20 inch Wega before, but I like the increased size. The TV has one component input, one s-video, and two composites. I bought a svideo switcher since I need three different svideo inputs. Most people hate sony here and recommend panasonics or toshibas, but I love my TV.

Obviously theres always better, but this TV is :thumbsup: IMO
I paid $300 for mine.
 
Thanks.

What's the major difference between a $250 TV and a $300 TV? Picture? Sound? Features? Are these differences substantial? I'm just curious. Thanks.
 
I saw a Daewoo flat screen tv at best buy w/ s-video, component, and composite inputs, maybe coaxial too. Looked decent for ~$200

I am also in the market for a 27" nice TV, but it must hve the speakers underneath as my tv stand is only 27.3" wide
 
I can't really contribute in any way to this thread, but I'm dying to tell someone I picked up a Sony 55" KDF-55WF655 for only $2100 with Circuit City delivery.. It was $3200 a month or so ago, now it's $3000.

I haven't gotten it delivered yet because my dad and I have been widening an area for the TV to go.. It's going above the fireplace... It'll look great.. I'll make a thread on it eventually because it took a good bit of work over the past week....

No one cares... But I thought I'd pretend someone did 🙂

Sorry I discovered this post late, but I am also looking for sony 55" KDF-55WF655, would you mind tell me how can you got the price so low from CC? Thanks.
 
look over at toms hardware, theres an article about how they built their own HDTV Projector for under $300, check it out.... Also ebay has some good deals on big screen projectors, saw model with DLP Tech go for under $400 a few days back.
