I usually hang out at the vinyl asylum, but i'm in the market for a new TV. It has gotten very confusing out there for us Non-video guys. I am NOT into home theater, just looking for the best quality picture I can get. I know it's a wide range, but 36" is the smallest i'm interested in and i'll go up to 50". I'm assuming HDTV does nothng for non-HDTV programming? But I understand that's where programming is headed. Do you think the extra $ are warranted? What are the pros and cons of widescreen if there are any, or is it just personal preference? Plasma is not an option. 15K on a TV?! Funny, I spent just that on my speakers and didn't even blink. Should I just look at the major players and find the best deal? Are there certain manufacturers that do some things better than others? i.e. HDTV, widescreen. Any advice would be appreciated.
