In Reply to: Plasma, LCD... posted by daryl r on December 22, 2003 at 21:44:25:
For the distance you describe, you will need at least 42" or better for a decent viewing experience. On the "budget" side, Gateway has a decent ED plasma that might work for you. Pick up a copy of the Jan issue of Sound and Vision magazine. They have a listing of all plasma and LCD sets with prices and specs. It should help narrow your search. Also go to the either www.onhometheater.com or www.hometheaterhifi.com and check their archives for articles describing the pros and cons of each technology. I still think that at present, one's money is better spent on rear or front projection either with CRT or DLP. LcOS also looks promising but is still young like plasma. Good luck.

If you are going to spend the big bucks for a flat panel.I'll agree CRT or DLP is the way to go for now. Plasmas maybe in two (or more) years (re: cost). LCOS hasn't really left the starting line. The LCDs I''ve seen were not updating fast enough on football games (w/ lots of motion). big turn-off.
My apologies, the articles on the display technologies are at www.hometheatersound.com. Look under the "Features" tab. Since September, they have written about plasma, LCD, DLP and this month LCoS.
