Default Want to buy a HDTV set question

I would like to know where I can get a review of sets that are available. I
would like to get a 55 or 60" set, but have no idea what is the best set on
the market. I don't know whether to get a LCD, Plasma, or rear projection
set. I am confused and don't know what to look at or compare to. I have
cable TV and internet and plan on keeping it. I currently have a 60"
Hitachi Ultravision analog TV which is about 9 and 1/2 years old. I have
never had a service call on it. I plan on giving it to my daughter.
I would appreciate you help in helping me decide what to get.
Thanks

www.cnet.com is a good source of information.

CNET is a good place to start. I love my JVC D-ILA. After nearly a year it's
been everything that JVC promised and more. But not everyone likes the soft
image these sets provide, so go to a good AV store and see for yourself.

I agree witht he others that CNET is a great place to start. I used it
to decide on a Samsung 50" DLP. It was delivered by BestBuy Thursday.
So far, I love it. I just wish I could have afforded the 1080p instead
of 720p. I took the Xbox360/Samsung deal they were offering last week.
I love both. I had already decided on the Samsung TV anyway.

If you are looking for a LOT of information, go to

the RPTV forum. For HDTV reception & programming, go to the Local HDTV
Reception forum with threads for many cities/regions around the US, HDTV
Reception hardware forum, and HDTV Programming forum.

I will also endorse CNET as a great source. I just bought a Sony 60"
1080p LCD Rear-Projection SXRD KDS60A2000. I love it so far.
