we're looking at buying a new TV for around $2k.
so we went out to compusa the other day and just looked around at some TVs. Since we know essentially nothing about these fancy tvs, we just looked at the prices and brands.
we saw a samsung plasma 42" EDTV having a special for like $1899. and a viewsonic edtv same size for a hundred less or so. I heard EDTV is almost the same as SDTV, but seeing that we never watch anything in hi-def i dont think thatd be a problem at all. we saw some LCDs, they were a lot more expensive i think, and smaller too.
so i went home to try to research on LCD vs Plasma and found different sites telling me different things. they all seem to be biased towards one or another. i cant find one that gives the pros and cons of each respectively.
i dont believe rear projection would be a viable option because we are kind of cramped on size. some of them looked pretty massive.
then i saw a sony grand WEGA at Circuitcity- LCD-HDTV for like 2.5 grand 50". so i was like, hmm there must be something wrong with this. either its not real HDTV, not real LCD, or soemthing. its strange because usually sony stuff is a lot moer expensive.
i need some insight into this. what do you guys recommend?
