Just thought I'd throw this question out there, not sure if I'll be getting a new TV anytime soon, but I'd kind of like to have an idea of what I'd want if I do decide to get one.
I should first mention that I've had a regular 32" RCA for 10 years, and it's been fine for me. It may very well be a case of "I don't know what I'm missing." I've also always had DirecTV, and will continue to I would suspect for a long time.
So the budget is $1500, the less the better . I would kind of like something bigger than 32", but I also want it to be small enough to fit on a stand/entertainment center. I think it was a Samsung I noticed the other day, which was 42" and on a stand, I liked how it looked on the stand (not to say I knew anything about the TV itself). I don't think I want widescreen, as I don't watch a lot of movies, especially not DVDs. I realize for that price it's probably going to be CRT or projection? Oh yeah, I want an HDTV for sure .
So, what would you recommend at this point?
Another thing I should ask...should I even be getting one now, or is there some new technology that's going to drastically drop prices in the near future? (I realize prices are always dropping a little)
Thanks a lot.
