KOOL..If u are not TRUE WS NERD..I would recomend, sony 48 inch, HDTV/RPTV..I have never seen a RPTV, brighter than that..it has 30% bigger picture, or Sony wega 36 inch XBR0Std AR though)
BTW!! Sony 34 inch XBR has advantage of doing 720P direct too, I heard Toshiba WS has Same picture tube, but a bit cheaper and NO 720P direct!
LCD, WGA will be too big for you!!
PLASMA..if considering, still, panasonic/pioneer/pioneer elite, will get my recomendation, but are pricey..
Well, I really would like to get WS TV as that is the future. Otherwise I would've considered the 40" XBR behemoth as well. CRT RPTV doesn't provide great viewing angles which is a necessity for me.
The Sony Direct View unfortunately converts 720p to 1080i. I hear the difference is marginal so I can live with it. Only the DLP's and the high end plasmas(?) do 720p natively.
LCD looks nice, but awful black level and contrast issues.
I would get the higher end Panasonic plasma, but I don't have $6,500 to spare. The $3,000 one doesn't even do 1080i as it downconverts everything to 480i/p. Combine that with the lower resolution, and that's why I don't want to invest in it.
