[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1684894, member: 234411"] Well, you've still left us 'in the dark' - 1) What is your maximum budget (please give us a dollar amount); and what do you mean by BIG - as mentioned in my post, a 21" HDTV is fine for bedroom viewing and 42" works in my den (although I'd like a larger one - problem of placement) - I paid about $240 for the 21" TV and much more for the 42" one. Just some criteria in picking a HDTV: 1) Resolution - by definition HDTVs are 720p, 1080i, or 1080p (this refers to vertical resolution which are all much better than that on a DVD and to progressive or interlaced scanning; plus, there are now higher resolutions being offered); 2) Diagonal screen size - you might need to visit a store and decide whether you want say 20-30", 40-50", or even higher - of course, price goes up w/ more screen area; 3) Brand and model; and 4) Other features desired, such as built-in Wi-Fi (which is on my 42" HDTV). SO, provide us a little more information - Dave :) [/QUOTE]
