[quote=Anonymous]1.  You probably won't end up with an obsolete tv. The only big option is 3D but it does nit seem to be popular.

2.  You can save money by buying a 720 tv instead of 1080. I generally buy 1080 but if you sit far enough away them the human eye can't tell the difference. To figure this put you can google a chart on tv viewing distance.

3.  Some discount brands like vizio ate very well reviewed. I have one and like it. But in vizios case you can't get it repaired. They replace it under warranty or you do it.

4. To hook to a computer check to see what video options your computer has. If it has an HDMI port it is easy. If it had a VGA port buy a TV with that port. If you have a mac you will need to buy an adapter which is relatively cheap.

5.  There are tvs which can receive Internet programming directly. That may be convenient but they generally support only certain sites like netflix. With a PC you have more flexibility but then you have to hook it to the tv and that means you probably can't do email on it while you watch tv. Decide for yourself whether to pay for this feature but know exactly what sites are supported.

6. If you watch in the daytime and get lots of light shining from behind, consider buying a brand that has a matte finish screen to cut the glare.

You probably can't make a bad decision at this point. The market has had years to work out the bugs on hdtvs and now they are commoditizing because there is really nothing new except 3D. [/quote]
