Anonymous | Can anyone suggest the best HDTV I can buy. I would like to purchase an HDTV, all ready to use, that is about 35 to 45 inches. I have no clue about HDTV's and the difference between monitors and an actual HDTV, etc. Can anyone help? What should I look for? |

I have 42XS910 (SONY now has the XS955 on the market) and I love it. On the other topics read the forums. Not all HD sets have the same contrast ratios, native resolution and other user friendly features. I believe you need to see the sets in action at a store to see which sets using the SAME signal appeal to your eyes. |

Unregistered guest | I want to buy an HDTV to fit on a shelf 50 inches wide - money no problem. The viewers will be situated about 15 ft from the TV. What is the appropriate choice with respect to LCD, plasma etc and the manufacturer? |

your_help Unregistered guest | needhelp...you should go for plasma at this time if you're looking at 50inch and plus. LCD still a major problem with refresh rate, especialy at 50inch plus. It said much improved now but I have compared it in circuit city. Not worth spend much money an LCD now. LCD is best when it's 25inch or smaller. Otherwise, plasma is recommended idealy for home theater. Major weakness of plasma is burn-in. With the latest model, it's not much a concern anymore. There is a trick to get away with burn-in, event with the earlier model. The store or online salesman will show you how. Most popular brand now, PANASONIC. |

Silver Member Username: Tombo777Post Number: 118 Registered: Jul-05 | Stay away from DLP, and LCD. Read the forums. too many issues with both technologies. The Sony WEGA thread is particularly interesting. If Sony can't get it right....well. As far as DLP I would stay away from that until reliability is such that you don't HAVE to buy an Extended Warranty. YOu will need $200-$300 proj Bulbs every year or so on the PAnasonic and others as well. Find a good RPCRT for $1200-$1500 with a non glare screen, wait three years then sopend $1500 on the technology that proves it's relaible instead of spending $3000 today and beta testing the latest crop of crap. |

Silver Member Username: 1st61Post Number: 124 Registered: Oct-04 | I would recommend Plasma Maxent MX-42X3 http://www.maxentusa.com/_coreModules/eShopping/productDetail.aspx?productMaster ID=21 I almost bought it a few weeks ago at costco. $1999 minus $300 off. The picture quality is great and could not tell any difference between it and Pioneer and Panasonis which cost at least $1000 more. |
