I want to buy a new HDTV but I'm suffering from information overload. I hope by posting I can get some more direct answers.
Tv will be in the basement family room and the current viewing distance is about 10 feet. The tv will be used for movies off sat. and rentals. I will also buy a dvd player and start taking advantages of dvds. Other viewing habits will be the kids with cartoons, playstation, football and sitcoms.
I was thinking a size of around 55" and a price range under $2500.
The wife isn't crazy about stretched people but I guess it is the price to pay for hdtv until all networks broadcast in hdtv.
Is there a big difference in brands between Phillips, Toshiba, etc. ? I know I will stay away from RCA due to being cheaper quality. I have 19" Philips for 15 years and Toshiba for 2. I like the quality of both.
Any helpful information would be appreciated. I have done searching in this forum and others but I'm still don't know which way to go.
Thank you.
