Not a big gamer.....nor do I watch TV...most of my tme is spent right here...it's more for company....or showing off
Although it would be nice to finally have a TV....right now I have 24" CRT from the mid 90's....it's time for an upgrade...
I ain't buying a big screen CRT....by the sounds of things...LCD sounds pretty good except when watching movies...because of the dark scenes...
Image burn will haunt me forever...as my current TV is a hand me down from my dad who always left it on the weather channel and therefor burned the image of "Environment Canada" in the top left corner of the screen

You lost me...I'm aware of HDTV but I thought it was just the digitial signal that was sent? If the TV accepts HDTV doesn't that make it HD? So it's not the signal only but the actual resolution they send you? I will be signing up for digital cable shortly - I haven't had TV in years

so I kinda want something which will capitalize on my new cable
What do you mean projections? Isn't the screen I linked to a LCD? What is the 1080p - 1080pixels?
Supposedly refresh rate is really important - according to some articles I just read.
I can't recommend any plasmas. LCDs, some LCD projections, and DLP projections.
Is that because you have no experience with Plasma or just personal preference? I'd prefer LCD as burning and heat/power use is always a bad thing - LCD is the best in this way so I understand?
Viewing angle isn't a big deal...as my room is small so you can only watch TV straight on...
The LCD I linked too is actually $1,000 off...it's only $1999 CDN...and you get a free stand
What is gaming like on LCD's? Although I don't plan on gaming much...my nephews might...movies are likely to be watched more than anything...my CRT sucks at showing dark screens so I bet even a LCD would be better...just curious
