I am looking to buy my first television and was looking for some advice. I am looking to spend less then $1200 for the largest quality screen possible.
I read comparisons between Plasma and DLP televisions and came to the conclusion that plasma would be a better option for me as I can mount it on the wall to save space in my 800 square foot condo and I don't watch TV often (less then five hours a week on average so far) so the 30,000 hour life of quality image isn't a major concern.
This means my main motivation for buying the plasma is size and viewing angle and the con of having a non-replaceable bulb is a non-issue. I have also read that plasma screens are not optimal for use with a computer... I will be using a computer/xbox as a movie player so this may be an issue but I could not find much documentation on this.
I am not sure if I will ever have cable/satellite but this is a remote possibility, I will be watching DVDs and backed up content mostly. Also do modern LCDs still suffer from the ghosting issues while watching movies?
I am a completely new to televisions so any help would be appreciated.
