Plasma screens are the hot ticket today but the Sharp Aquos LCD panels are very nice. Sharp recently came out with a 37" model that is light weight, very thin, very low power, perfectly quiet, and with an exceptionally nice picture. I was considering a plasma screen for my H.T. but decided to get a plain ole CRT TV and wait another year or two for LCD's (or another technology) to come on strong.

I wasn't that impressed with the rear projection Samsung DLP compared to plasma but I was very impressed with the Sharp Aquos LCD panel. Only problem is the very high price compared to the other technologies. I'm also skeptical of the plasma screens because most of them have a horendous buzz at altitude... I'm near Denver where our "flatlands" start at 5000-feet... I'm at 6500 feet.

I'm hoping that LCD's or another technology takes over in the not too distant future and for now I'm enjoying my 34" 16:9 Sony CRT... (bulky and heavy beast!)
