    ok you brilliant electronic people... here's what I think I need... does this sound right and what would be the best deal for me?

     

    I have a strangely shaped room that has only one spot for the TV... right now we have a 60 inch Mitsubishi Projection TV in it and it is WAY to big (plus I hate it). The problems with the room are that 1) It's not very wide so you have to sit relatively close to the screen, which makes me think I want a 42inch TV, 50inches at the very most. 2) We have a big family and a wraparound couch, meaning that sometimes you are watching TV from an angle rather than dead on which from what I've read makes me think I would want a plasma TV vs an LCD. 3) The only spot for the TV happens to be opposite a window so there is alot of light focused on the TV and currently alot of glare. From what I've read an LCD would be better for this, but it's possible to get a plasma with an antiglare screen which might work on both my issues. 4) Finally 720P vs 1080i vs 1080P. I think people have said that this is only a huge difference on TV's larger than 42 inches so if I stick with that size it doesn't really matter so which ever I can get the best deals on. Does all of this rambling from someone who has no idea what they're talking about sound at all right? I read some reviews and the Panasonics seem to do pretty well.... what do you think of the 42inch at BB on BF or are there better deals/models out there?

    If you have a lot of glare, go with an LCD. Viewing angles on a good LCD are great, so I wouldn't worry to much about that.

     

    If you sit close to screen, have a 360, PS3, HD-DVD or Blu-Ray player get a 1080p set. Otherwise get a 720p set. Right now, there is only one reason to have a 1080p set if you don't have a next-gen console or next-gen DVD player, and that is, to be prepared for the future.
