Please Help, don't know which TV to buy

by coltm4 - 6/27/04 5:33 PM

My current TV is 22 yrs old and giving me problems so I've decided to buy a new one.

This is all I know :

1. I want a Plasma or LCD (thin profile)
2. 37" to 42" Screen
3. Stereo Sound or whatever else gives good sound
4. Built in speakers
5. HDTV capable
6. PIP is nice but not necessary
7. Easy Set-up
8. Max price of $2300 ( sorry I'm broke)
9. I have I/O Digital Cable which has some HDTV channels
10.I rent alot of movies and am willing to get a progressive scan DVD player
11.Good Quality picture BUT I don't have to have the "BEST" picture possible.

Due to a serious back injury I forced to spend alot of time at home so watching tv is important to me.

I'd like to thank anyone who can give me some thoughful advise and if possible a couple of choices

THX

$2300 for a plasma tv; you may need to do some pretty hard searchs for that (but good luck anyway). I suppose you have your own reasons to go THIN but personally feel the ratio of tv quality to price spended is still a CRT tv. DLP tv is on the thin side but after my experience with mine (the lamp didn't last very long) I hate to recommand it to any body.
