Girl friend of mine wants to pick up a new TV and has about $3k to spend. She is not TV savvy and I would only refer to myself as remedial in recommendations for what she should get. I have a Samsung 50" DLP and love it but she does not want to drop that kinda cash.


Most of her usage will be normal TV viewing and DVD's. She is also using Comcast so she will be able to upgrade to DTV and have them provide a box with a built in HD tuner.


I'm looking for recommendations on what type of set you guys think will work best for her since this seems to be the place to come.

She should be able to get a 42" EDTV plasma for under $3000. Not too shabby.

Sorry, EDTV?

I couldn't possibly, in good conscience, recommend someone to buy an EDTV. Buy an HDTV. $3k will get you a nice set, but this really belongs in the TV forums, not the HD HW. They'll beat you silly with recommendations. LCD! NO...CRT!...NO...DLP!...NO...PLASMA!

The Gateway 56" DLP is also about $3000, it's worth a look.

50 inch rear proj. LCD


At Tweeter for $2799


Nice nice picture, few complaints on the forums about problems


They also have a 42" for a bit less $, but it doesn't have the DVI connector I believe
