I can't believe that after all this time (more than 6 months) researching HDTV's I'm no further along than when I started...
Was hoping to throw out a few thoughts - perhaps someone else was in a similar situation and actually made a decision...
Originally, a friend bought a Panny LCD projection, and HD was incredible...but I didn't care for the SDE on SD TV, so that was out...
DLP was attractive- and I really liked the Sammy 4674, but my wife didn't like it (still not sure why...)
She then commented how great the flat panels looked...
Originally I had discounted Plasma because of the negatives people say about them and thought LCD was the way to go...I especially like that the newer LCDs will offer 1080 lines... but the price quickly becomes ridiculous.
My viewing distance will only be about 8 feet
I think now that plasma may be the way to go for me. - I hope to use it with a PC a little bit, and eventually would like to buy a playstation or Xbox, but probably wouldn't play it that much...Comcast offers a fair amount of HD channels here so we'll primarily watch TV in HD.
I read somewhere that the latest generation of plasmas are about as prone to burn-in as current CRTs (basically that it really isn't an issue unless you abuse it..)
I think now I'm between that Panny TH42PX50U and the Sammy HPR4252.
Anyone else been down this road?
