Not top of the line, but a nice big (over 40") flatscreen that we can hang on the wall. Any recommendations?

Panasonic usually gets top rated. Sony's are nice but a bit overpriced IMO.....having said that, i'm looking at the 37" Sony Plasma HDTV which is only $3000 online....Comment

you should consider resolution of screen - some "first generation" screens have 800x600 and still avaialble in stores - those will be cheaper, then there are those that goes 1024x7xxx/1024 - more expensive, but pic is much better.
also check in tech parameters contrast ratio and luminosity - how bright you can get this screen.
also check if it has all those DVI/VGA inputs - can attach computer/notebook/game console to it
check if it has built in TV tuner - some DONT have it.
would reccomend sony, pioneer, hitachi (have one, good stuff).Comment

have you seen a TV over 40" that can be hung to the wall and is flat? its panel. and some of them DONT have TV tuner in there because they can be used as screens for computers or in combination with stand-alone HDTV receiver.Originally posted by BigG

If you've been hankering for a slim, light LCD TV but holding off until prices came down to earth, here's some good news.
The entry of computer-makers Dell and Gateway into the LCD TV market could accelerate price competition.
The Ratings lists 31 models in all, ranging in size from 14 inches to 32 inches and in price from $600 to $5,000Comment

Yep, looking at plasmas. Thanks for the info about the TV tuner, guys, I had no idea about that.Originally posted by dichotomy
plasma. I have not seen LCD TV's over 21"
Also, I didn't know there was a difference between the term "flat screen" and "panel". Thanks for the info.

Decide whether you want true HD or the next best thing. When buying a plasma TV, you?ll face a choice between HD (high definition) and ED (enhanced definition) sets, which cost less. The two types differ in native resolution--the number of pixels in the display--a spec often listed in ads. Most HD sets have a native resolution of 1024x1024 . ED sets are often 852x480.Comment

Also remember that image quality often doesn?t equal that of a very good direct-view TV, especially with quickly moving images or dark scenes. Like CRT-based (cathode-ray tube) projection TVs, plasma sets are vulnerable to screen burn-in, and there are concerns about their life expectancy. Also, plasma sets run hot and consume more power than any other type of TV.Comment

Strong brands for plasma T.V.s:
Hitachi, Panasonic, Philips, Pioneer, Samsung, and Sony.
The best thing you can do is visit your local Electronics store and check out the picture for yourself.
Make sure the settings aren't totally messed up and see which one is most pleasing.Comment
