HDTV Shopping
I’m in the market for a new TV. The inherent instability of the Gainesville power grid (above ground lines, lots of oak trees, frequent tropical storm force winds) killed my TV’s power supply last year. I’ve been putting off big purchases (for a reason that will have to remain a secret a little bit longer), but am now ready to commit. I think that HDTV prices have dropped enough to be affordable, and there is significant benefit, what with video games and HDTV over cable.
I like to spend under $600… $700 at the very most. I’d like it to be widescreen (16:9) aspect ratio. I’d like it to be 720p and 1080i capable, with component inputs. Other than that, I’m open to suggestions. I’m guessing that a tube TV will get me the most bang for my buck. LCDs are expensive, and the quality is generally lacking. I don’t care about bulk… I have an entertainment center that can house a big tube.
If you have any suggestions or recommendations, please let me know.
