In Reply to: Need help buying a HDTV posted by vinyl survivor on June 11, 2010 at 05:48:46:
You want to save power and not heat up your room. Go for an LCD. Go to a retailer and try the hand test. Place your hand on top of the various HDTV's. You will find the following:
Plasma's are hot and have a nice stream of hot air rising from them.
Normal (florescent backlit) LCD's have just a hint of warmness rising from them.
LED backlits are basically cool.
The problem is LED backlits cost about 500 or so more so they may be out of your budget.
The size recommendations are right, the larger the better, mid 50's at the minimum.
DO NOT USE A DVD Player. Come on, you can get a blu ray player for about 100 bucks, less used so do not use a cheap dvd player. On that big screen a dvd output will look horrible unless it is a quality unit that does some decent upscaling. Just get a bluray player, they make even regular dvd's look great.
Just because it is a church doesn't mean you have to put up with junk. Let it be known that for a few hundred extra you can get a nice, cool LED backlit tv with a new blu ray player. I'm sure a few families will be willing to make the donations.
We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along
