What to look for when purchasing a Flat Screen TV?
My TV died last night, and I'm thinking of purchasing a flat screen TV, and I have some questions.
How do they measure the screen? Still diagonally, like the older CRT TVs?
What type of sceen is best? Not even sure what there is...plasma, LCD, etc.?
Any brands to stay away from, or better brands to buy (although price may dictate this a bit)?
Can they all hang on the wall, or do some only sit on a base?
I do know to check for inputs, as I'll be connecting a VCR, DVD player, and stereo to it.
Anything else I should look for?
ps: I don't need the best, all singing, all dancing TV, but am looking for good value. Price is important, or I'll have nothing left for RCing! I see some on sale for about $400, but if I have to, I can go up to $1000. Is that realistic pricing?
