TV Screens
Ok, one of the first things I might spend some money on after I'm out of my cell, is a new TV. Ok, I've not kept abreast of the latest and greatest, what are the pros and cons for the newest stuff. Keeping in mind I'm not shelling big bucks (probably under $2,000), I just don't have enough time to make that kind of investment worth while.

The house I'm working on just had the TV installed today.A 42" Sony Bravia LCD.
I could own a fleet of Lamis with VSs on them for the price of that TV!

LCD's are better in the smaller sizes from what I read, if you want under 20" or so then LCD is fine. For large screen, plasma is awesome but $$$$$$
stay away from projections
go to tweeter or something and look into it and learn before you buy Bob.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

The best deal out there IMHO are the DLP projection TVs. They are almost as flat as a plasma, a lot cheaper than the plasma and have a great picture.

Going through the research right now with approximately the same budget, maybe a tad bit more.
Here is what I have found.
First, there are flat panel TVs (LCD and Plasma) and projection (DLP, LCD). The projection models are about 14-19" deep.
I think the LCD picture is the sharpest, but they are only available up to about 40" and are not competitive pricewise above 36". That is due to the manufacturing cost of large LCD panels...
I think plasma is the best picture in the larger panels, 42" and higher, but clearly are expensive. They are coming down in price due to the LCD competition.
The LCD/DLP projection units are a very good picture/price combination. I think the major drawback for them is view angle. In my room, we need a relatively wide viewing angle and they don't cut it for me. the picture gets darker as you move off center. Not too bad, but noticeable.
I've decide to go for a 42" plasma. After much research I am going with a Panasonic industrial plasma monitor for $2100. It is the highest rated picture of an plasma, including the Pioneer units. It is the unit sold to companies for tradeshows, video production, etc. Must go through a dealer.
Drawback is that it is only a monitor. No tuner or speakers. Doesn't matter to me as I will use a cable box (no tuner needed) and will connect to separate speakers through a receiver (already own). Thus for the price of a DLP projection (maybe a little more) I'm getting the plasma.
