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.

It really is going to depend on what your budget and tastes are. Lets start with budget. How much are you looking to spend? Also, is space a factor? Is this going to be the "everyday" t.v. or one used mainly on movie night. If you are looking for purely a home theater setup you might even consider a front projector. There are tons of options but I would start with budget first, space second (what size is the room?), and preference third. I can get into detail about the differences in DLP and LCD if you like but lets start with budget and space. I myself own a plasma, rear projection LCD, and a home theater projector for a authentic "theater" feeling.
