Recommend a HDTV ready television...

If you watch a decent amount of DVD's I'd look at the Panasonic 42" ED plasma. You can get the industrial model for about $2k now I think...42" of widescreen glory. No onboard speaker though.

I saw him asking for HDTV, not ED.

With $3000 ceiling he could get a really nice DLP.

Buzz off derky. RPTV look like hell on SDTV.

 
Seriously, get a Samsung DLP (whatever model you can afford), a fajoura chiped device for deinterlacing ( if not built it) and you are set.
 
Best image quality will come from a CRT based RPTV. If it were me I would get one of the ~$1000 40-50" CRT RPTVs (actually I would get a CRT Front Projector). Smoother more film like image with better blacks, contrast, and shadow detail to give you a much more 3 dimensional picture. Don't fall for the digital (DLP, LCD, LCOS, Plasma, etc...) is better bs. Invest the rest or buy a nice sound system to go along with your new display device.

Samsung DLP, probably something in the 40" range. ED = the suck so stay away from dunbar's "advice".

Actually EDTV looks better on SDTV which will be the vast majority of programming for years to come. Most people can't see a difference between HDTV on ED or HD plasmas from 8+ feet back. But go ahead and repeat your ignorance...

Too many acronyms.........................ED, SD? Is there some reliable source I can check for all of this?



 
Well if you're willing to spend some time www.avsforum.com is a great resource.

ED = Enhanced Definition (480 progressive lines of vertical resolution)
SD = Standard Definition (480 interlaced lines of vertical resolution; the vast majority of TV content)
HD = High Definition (Several formats most common are 1080 interlaced or 720 progressive)

Have you even seen any HD material on these new Panasonic plasmas ?

 
Just wait for the Sharp Aquos 45" to drop to your price point... or for Dell to offer a wicked coupon on it (yes, Dell carries it).
