We are looking at a 45-50 incher for Christmas this year.
I did my Consumer Reports research.
I worry about burn out on the Plasma as we have the tv on around the clock on our home bound days.
I am confused about the LCD they say front projection yet in the store they don't have a projector sitting in front of them.
We can get HDTV via our cable so that is not issue.
Sound is a concern as we have medical machines going in our living space.
I don't want to many bells and whistles.
Do they have wireless surround systems.
We are hearing prices will drop around Dec. to push sales.
Looking at spending $2000
Anyone have or seen a Hewlet Packard they will come out and set it all up and the price as of today is $2600. Consumer Reports rates it highest for a lower end price plasma.
Help!
"LCD = annoying screen door effect."
You've said this twice (at least as far as the post I'm replying to) but really this is a subjective matter.
I have three LCD screens in the house: my 19" Viewsonic PC monitor (1440x900), wife's laptop (17", 1440x900), and the Panny LCD-RPTV (50", 1280x720) and none of them look, to me, as if they have a screen door effect.
OTOH, both my wife and I perceive a rainbow-shimmery effect on plasma screens which many others don't see.
