Hey Guys,
I know most of you guys are very knowledgeable with computers so I though I would ask about Big Screens. I am buying a house and will need a new Big Screen and I have never purchased one before. I really dont know much about the newer tech with T.V. and want to do some homework before I go out and buy one. Can you guys give me some pointers of what I should look for in a new TV. I have heard some bad things about Plasma, but dont know whats what. Please share what you all know on the topic. --------------------  |

From my past investigations....DLP (samsung) are the best to buy. That is digital light processing. Plasma TV's are suppose to have a 5-10 yr life span, although from all my friends that have them, not one has had a problem as of yet.
Apparently the DLP have better clarity and have better life span. When I was in the process of buying a big screen, I went to all the stores and sat in their chairs and watched the screen. Make sure you get the surround sound. I ended up buying a Sony 52 inch Wega...which has casters so it's easy to move. Although Samsung is the cream of the crop...I am extremely happy with my Sony and the great deal I got. Apparently you can purchase these for about $1400.00 now...which is a great price. Here is a link on some things you should know, prior to purchasing your TV...Good luck http://www.axiomaudio.com/10TVTips.html --------------------  Signature designed by Old Man Mike Never take life seriously.
