Need help picking out an HDTV
I've finally decided to take the plunge and buy an HDTV. I've narrowed my
choices down to four LCDs. Please help me choose because to me they all look great. Sony: KDL-40V2500 KDL-40S3000 Dell: W3707C Sharp: LC-32D62U The Television is going to be for a bedroom that is not huge by any means, actually quite small. It's under 20ft x 20ft. I just want to make the right choice since I'll have it for years to come. Thanks! Mark |

My guess is you don't need a whole lot for this TV unless you plan to be a bed potato and do all your watching there. If you want to pay premium dollar, go with Sony. Otherwise you can still do well with many other brands like Sharp. The one spec I suggest you not skimp on is contrast ratio. This is because I suspect bedroom watching is more likely to take place with less ambient light. You'll want black levels ot be truly at the black level as best as it can. Accept no less than 1000:1. More is better. You won't be able to tell visually in the store. -- |---------------------------------------/----------------------------------| | Phil Howard KA9WGN (ka9wgn.ham.org) / Do not send to the address below | | first name lower case at ipal.net / | |------------------------------------/-------------------------------------| |

I'm either doing this wrong or something because I'm getting a really small screen size, even smaller than I have now. Use the distance to the tv in inchs (or cm) eg the typical .us viewing distance is 9 feet - ie 108 inches - so 108/2 = 54 and 108/3 is 36 so at that distance look for a screen size between 54 and 36 inches. |

I like the Sony picture quality, I'd go for the newer model, I know
it's the most expensive. Don't know what the Dell is. You realize that some of the no-names at retail now are about half the price of the Sony's, and really not bad? J.

I looked for a long time. I settled on the less cost VIZIO 32" LCD
HDTV. Contrast 1200:1 OTA HD is awsome. Sears or Costco $599 Actually Sears on sale $569 I picked up a Phillips upconvert HDMI DVD player for $45 Works.

Very nice. so your age, and retirement account balance is ???? and of course you have a secret formula to make more than 22 percent? at a later time - apparently you lack basic math skills? You will need several million in your retirement acount...as a minimum. Your TV purchase, on your credit card, will cost your around 200K, over 30 years. better be one nice picture for that, kids and college do not make me stupid at all - not having them myself makes me smart, but many people do, and many people need to watch a 27" TV so they can watch their children go to college. |

If you were buying a house, or a kidney then my comments are stupid. Buying a TV - rather than saving the money for retirement, or your kids college, that makes you stupid. I can save for retirement later, I'm not old at all so that can be done at a later time. I have no kids and don't ever plan on having kids, so that's out of the picture. I do want to thank you for calling me stupid. I mean I don't even know you and you don't know me, but you can calmly call me stupid as you sit comfortably in front of your computer. Very nice. so your age, and retirement account balance is ???? and of course you have a secret formula to make more than 22 percent? at a later time - apparently you lack basic math skills? You will need several million in your retirement acount...as a minimum. Your TV purchase, on your credit card, will cost your around 200K, over 30 years. better be one nice picture for that, kids and college do not make me stupid at all - not having them myself makes me smart, but many people do, and many people need to watch a 27" TV so they can watch their children go to college. Most of what you just asked is none of your business, so I won't be answering that. As far as I'm concerned you can just stop. I'm buying the tv whether you continue to call me stupid or not. There are millions of people who everyday buy things on credit and plunge themselves into debt. I, unfortuantely am one of them. But I will buy what I want whether a person I don't know berates me or not. My choice is my choice and your choice is your choice. Let it end at that. Good day sir! |

Instead of saving it for the future like you did. Sorry but maybe buying a house, a kidney, or a liver transplant makes sense to do on a credit card. A TV does not. People like him are the reason that this country is on the brink of economic catastrophe, |

Got facts? Yes. Per what I recently read, the average credit card debt is now about $9000. That's up from about $4000 maybe 5 - 10 years ago. Whether the charges made to that level are important to one's survival... I sure wouldn't know. But I bet you can count on many of them being what *I* would label as unnecessary purchases by those who have no idea how to manage money. No one NEEDS a fancy tv. "Want," yes... "need," no. I suspect many, many people don't know the difference. And no, we have NO idea what the OP's financial situation is, and I don't care. |

Hey - you have the facts,, Whether anyone else wants to listen to them, does not make them less facts. Mr wants a TV could easily save 200 bucks a month fot a year, and then pay cash, and have money left over,,,for say educating his kids, or taking a vacation. However Mr "Martin" lacks the basic math to understand that. Thank you for posting from someone that does, |
