when it comes to buying something, first thing to do is come up with a budget... how much you wanna spend? Is it for the living room or bedroom? How large is the area?

some folks want to match their TVs with their HTS to 'sync' them so they can basically control everything with 1 remote... (Sony has Bravia, Panasonic has Viera, Pioneer has KURO link)...

then you gotta ask yourself... do you need it to be FullHD or would HD Ready settle for the moment?

LCD conserves energy compared to Plasma but Plasma has better color for skin tones.
