Hello!
I am about to upgrade and finally get a HDTV, yet I am still debating on which one to purchase. I was thinking about getting a DLP or and LCD, since I can’t afford the plasma.
My TV budget is slightly above 3000 (but i would prefur not to be that high, but it is plausable) but that needs to cover the TV, Stand, and an extended warrenty for the TV. The TV wil be used for videogames (xbox, ps2, gamecube, plus next generation consoles) as well as watching lots of DVDs. Here is my current list:
(i just found out i cant post direct link to the sites so i will quote the specs for each TV)
