There is no perfect display...yet. But TVs have come quite a long way since you bought your expiring Sony.

There advantages and disadvantages with all current commercial technologies depending on source material, budget, the room/light conditions, ease of use and personal preference. There will be some trade-offs with any set you choose, be it DLP, CRT, LCD LCoS or plasma - but I guarantee you will find something that will greatly please you. Whether it looks equally good displaying both analog and digital sources is another topic.

Be sure to consider upgrading your DVD player/cable or sat box and cabling when you do purchase the new display - and DO budget some douigh for an ISF calibration - it can make a substantial improvement in your PQ. At the very least, purchase a calibration DVD such as AVIA or Video Essentials.

Happy hunting - you're gonna have some fun.
