Just found this board and figured I'd ask my big question.
I know very little about big screens.
Every other TV I own is 32" or smaller...
And big screens seem to be an entirely different set of technology...
What I'm trying to do is to find a large screen for use in a large rec room at home...
So, I've checked the stores (where the "help" is of no help) and the websites (where I really don't know yet what I'm looking for...
My plan is to get the "most bang for the buck" without going too high on price (or my wife won't let me buy it)...But I want a really good picture or I will end up buying it and not watching it...
Here's where it gets tricky:
Ordinary vs. HD-Ready vs. Digital? What are they? Why should I pay more for one rather than the other?
Lines of Resolution? What should I be looking for?
What are these other various technical features and which ones are absolute musts?
Which brands give the best value and which should I stay away from?
Any particular models that are really the best buy?
I thank you all for any help.
