        Actually went shopping for a 42 plasma and found out that a "kickass" plasma will run you over 3000 canadian + a nice monthly cable bill to get HD channels.

        Cheapest 42 that they have in toronto

          You can get an edtv one for that price, but I'm assuming you're looking for an hd one.

                  No such thing as good plasma at that price. Not an HD one atleast.

                      I don't need HDTV as I will only need to watch DVDs on it
                      (does HDTV make DVDs better? or the exact same?)

                          It can make it look better or worse. Depends on the source. Gargabe in garbage out.

                          Get a decent upconverting DVD player and/or video processor.

                          I say wait for CES before you buy a TV. Only a week away

                                I think he thought you were referring to standard rear projection and wasn't familiar with lcd projection.

                                  Sceptre has a flat panel lcd that is 37 inch that dipslays 1080p and has 1080p input.

                                  are you a videophile or are you an average consumer?

                                        You can get an edtv one at that price and I've seen some that have incredible picture quality hardly distinguishable from the hd ones. Try looking here

                                          What do you mean old technology? I bought mine 6 months ago, its awesome. I love it. Sure a flat panel would be better, but not worth the extra money to me.

                                            Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I think DLP is a wiser choice. They have trade offs.

                                                Plasma is older technology than lcd rear projection, dlp is your best picture out there for your money spent.

                                                  maybe you should also. it says plasma, not lcd rptv

                                                    I almost went with DLP. A projector but too many issues with bulbs and the hassle of replacing bulbs....saw the Panasonic at a friends house..spent the same amount of money.

                                                    A projector DLP is nice if you have the setup and the patience.
