1) can you jump the budget up?2) do you have kids? will this be used a lot
or moderately?3) do you want it to last a long time, or are you willing to trade a few years for a better picture?
4) is the room bright?
5) you want to avoid the entry level sets, the improvement in electronics in the next step up is well worth the cost, IMHO.
6) how far are you from the TV? How big is the room overall?
Btw, Hsu is having a sale on subs. At some point, get a real sub and cross it high (THX style). Hsu has one of the cheapest decent subs.
http://www.hsuresearch.com/products/vtf-2-mk3.htmlSubs fall into 4 rough categories.
1) Bass box
2) entry level
3) real sub
4 OHMIGAWDThe MK3 is good bang for the buck, but if your room isn't small and you
can swing it, look at the ULS15. That's the real thing.
