I looked at HD/Ed Plasma, Rear Projection LCD and LCD. Do not buy anything with a CRT. You will burn the screen when HD comes or with analog waiting for HD to come. I ended up buying the SONY 50" Rear Projection LCD and the 5 yr warranty. Only thing to chang at 6000-8000 hrs is the lamp for $200-$300. I use the STd and FULL modes depending on what I am viewing. I am using the analog cable feed from Cox Communications. I believe SONY on this unit scales all analog signals to 720p format, so my std pictures are very good. I love the split screen feature. Don't buy anything less than 1280 by 768 resolution.

I also bought a 17" SAMSUNG LCD for the kitchen. Nice picture until you get right next to it. I need to be back 4-5 ft to get a true picture. LCD's are very reliable as I have used a 18" NEC LCD monitor for 5 yrs with no dead pixels.

My understanding is that all TV signals had to be digital by end of 2006 per FCC. Now I read that deadline might be extended to 2013.

If I had to buy a TV set today, I would look at the Mitsubishi LCD Rear Projection unit as I think they scale analog signals to 720p better than anybody else.

Good Luck
