    HDTV-Widescreen purchase question

    Hey folks!
    The wife and I have begun preliminary negotiations for a new big screen TV for Christmas this year. We currently have a 31" Sony tube that is 8+ years old and frankly I havent kept up with TV techknology all that well. I have decent gear for sound and a decent DVD player for video Denon 2900, clearly it is time to address the picture size and quality.

    My number one thought was one of the new skinny TV's but looks like $$$$ is a hold up there. I want the biggest bang for the buck. My chief concern is quality followed by size. My room isnt that big right now say 8-10 feet viewing distance. My love seat (secondary seating) will be at an angle, but not sure of the degree. Anyway, I am wide open to ideas or suggestions. The budget is around (prefer under) $3,000.00. My hope is to make a purchase for Christmas, but everythings negotiable. Anyway, just trying to get some preliminary ideas. I had had my eye on the Pioneer Elite and they went and pulled the RPTV from their lineup. :M
    IMO

      Projector Prices and comparison to RPTV's

      I'm a newbie and I have some questions. I am building an entertainment room in my basement.

      I would like a FPTV system and here's why: no light problem-no windows, more bang (picture view) for the buck, great for DVD viewing, relatively big room (20 x 22). I do however want to used...

      Had a few friends over for Christmas last night. CamBot, Gypsy, Tom Servo, Crow… and (in this case) Mike. I love this program, spent many a “relaxing” few hours watching MST3k back in the day. Love it or hate it, I love it. I got MST3k Volume one on DVD for Christmas.

      Christmas...

My short list includes a Mitsubishi WS555315, Hitachi 51F510, and Panasonic 53X54. Could any owners out there...

      Diana Krall Christmas Songs CD
      by Bing Fung


      I must admit, I have a weakness for Jazz Christmas music, and I definitely have a weakness for Diana Krall. So when my Lovely wife presented me with this CD, to say I was excited was an understatement :B

      To begin with I absolutely love the cover art which shows Diana...
