RE: Flat Panel TV

I recently did a bunch of research on this for a friend who wanted a new TV, and learned--

if you get an LCD, make sure it has a 120 Hz refresh rate.

that while shiny black or silver bezels can make for attractive furniture, they're annoying as hell when watching TV, at least to me, and that matte black bezels are currently not very common.

that plasmas can be great mirrors, even while watching TV.

replacing the power cord, even with a lowly Volex, will at minimum garner improved color saturation.

definitely try to see Hitachi and Mitsubishi TVs: Hitachi for color reproduction, and Mitsu for detail.

AVSForum -- for more than you ever wanted to know, LOL.
