Looks like our old 28″ CRT TV is toast. I will probably bring it in for repair, but this might be the occasion to get one of the new flat panels that would look gorgeous stuck to the wall that is now behind the defunct set.
As anyone wanting to buy a new TV set nowadays, I am confronted with the usual conundrum: LCD or Plasma?
Even after perusing the top 10 Google results for “what is better lcd or plasma”, I am still undecided, as I’ve read lots of contradictory information. However, I think it might be leaning slightly in the LCD direction, since it seems plasmas really shine over LCDs when you go over 40″ and I don’t want to go there, mainly for price reasons (we don’t watch that much TV after all, no satellite, no cable and an occasional DVD). LCDs promise to be slimmer and lighter, and consume much less, which I like. Plus, they have better resolution, which might be useful if I wanted to attach one of my Macs to it.
With all the things I have to do these days, I was really looking forward to waste some more time (not to mention the money) doing comparison shopping… NOT!
