There are plenty of good forums to get accurate information, and you can also receive incorrect information at any forum including AVS. I haven't read this thread completely, I can't say which is true on that note. But I do know the readers don't necessarily have to go anywhere to get solid information. They do need to be intelligent enough to sort out what seems valid or not, and then do some validation and make some personal judgements about what to believe, just as you would anywhere.
There is no perfect display...yet. But TVs have come quite a long way since you bought your expiring Sony.There advantages and disadvantages with all current commercial technologies depending on source material, budget, the room/light conditions, ease of use and personal preference. There will be some trade-offs with any set you choose, be it DLP, CRT, LCD LCoS or plasma - but I guarantee you will find something that will greatly please you. Whether it looks equally good displaying both analog and digital sources is another topic.
Be sure to consider upgrading your DVD player/cable or sat box and cabling when you do purchase the new display - and DO budget some douigh for an ISF calibration - it can make a substantial improvement in your PQ. At the very least, purchase a calibration DVD such as AVIA or Video Essentials.
Happy hunting - you're gonna have some fun.
