Looking to buy a New LCD 37"... PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELP ME!

[Jack Hammer]

A lot of it is personal taste. I've seen a few lcd's with excellent pictures, but for the most part I think the plasma's look better overall. I've also seen a few plasma's with poor pictures. The lcd screens have made a lot of improvements lately and are getting better. There are a few that are excellent, but again, as a generalization if feel safe saying plasma screens usually have a better picture, IMO.

I'll still probably get a lcd. I'm paranoid about plasma's because i fall asleep and leave static images on regularly for extended periods. I'm not yet willing to risk to possibility that the screen will be ruined/damaged.

Yeah I am worried about that... but I will have a HTPC running almost everything. It will shut off the screen to black.... So no burn in...

I ended up buying a plasma... I posted the story in General AV discussion.

Why not a 720p front projector? Nowadays you can buy a very good one for even under $1000 (+ about $100-$2000 for a decent screen). They are bright ones as well which can tolerate some ambient light and still keep their impressive image.

I have around $1500 MAX

I would like the extended warrenty, and would like a great price. I check out newegg and there are allot to choose from...

Allot of people review the Sharp Aquas as the best, yet on Newegg allot of people rate other Displays allot better.

I really am stuck on what to buy. Too many choices...

Please help me... What are the best buys. Forget about speakers and the Remote. Im buying Logitech Remote, and have the B&W speakers. I need 8ms or less response time for I plan on using this to play Computer games on.

I would love a TV that lasts for along time. I just dont know what or where to go from here. I keep looking at items and am more confused the more I shop.

When I go to any retail store, the prices are so much more then Online. So Ill buy online. However I am also worried about warrenty protection. Consumer Reports says to buy the extended warrenty if its less then the 20% the total cost.

I need someone who really knows allot about these products. Who is as good at TV's as I am at speakers that cost under $1500.

Please Help Me
