Buy what your economic position will avail, select from known brand names,
shy away from brands you do not recognize, select features and fuctions
you require and understand, and then enjoy.
TV has been considered a grand wasteland, IMHO, the couch potatoes tend to
vegatate on that property!



Brand recognition is virtually worthless these days. Popular well known
brand names are regularly slapped onto cheap noname junk. Look at the sets
in person, compare picture quality, also a plasma TV is one of the very few
things I suggest looking into an extended warranty for as repair cost can be
very high if they fail.
