for the money tubes seem to be the best setup. just heavier then all hell. the one i orginially looked at was a 36", damn thing weighed 250lbs.

What's future shop?

I don't know what TV I want yet. I want to see some image quality on typical use (DVDs and HD sports..maybe even a ps2 or something) then I can see what money i feel is justified.
I know I don't want plasma though...and I'm not really feeling rear-projection ( though I love the price/size ratio).

Thanks for the advice. Am I right about the tubes? or no?

just get the best sony you can afford.

well with DVD's progressive scan and S-Video make a huge difference. the progressive scan is the function of the DVD player though.
i'd start here:

Go plasma. The only reason you would need to worry about burn in is if you leave mario bros. paused on the screen for 3 hrs

I was considering that...but I don't have a good wall for it..and don't feel like buying a screen/storing it.

those guys at Best Buy don't know shit, one of the worst purchase experiences i've ever had.
TV wise, can't go wrong with a Sony Wega....absolutely love mine, although it weighs a fucking ton.
what kind of TV do you want? as in LCD, HD, blah, blah, blah.

dont bother with a TV, get a projector.

If they would just show a movie on there...I could see a real difference...but they show the same low-res source on all the TVs. Very hard.
personally I think the tube HD's have the best picture. Too bad they don't make them very big.

Guy: Don't worry kid its just my new plasma TV.
Kid1: was he yellin?
Kid2: No he was Gellin.i know what u mean though..plus those guys trying u explain it to you but u don't knwo some of the new terms...best is to look into it see what there selling Google it do some research and set a price...then go and buy it.

Fully agree with auricom. Guys that work at Best Buy do so to buy pot. Not that that is bad, or that pot is bad, but you have to question someone's ability to remember fine television details when their mind is clouded with bong resin.
