Ok the time has come to bite the bullet and buy a new TV !!! Problem is I don’t know what I should be looking for that will give me HD quality and a great picture. Based in the UK so no good for US specs ! I am ideally looking for a 40″ screen but can’t decide between plasma and LCD – apart from weight what is the difference, is one a better picture than the other ?

My plan is to buy a HD ready TV, cheaper the better I guess and keep it as a main TV for 3 years and then buy a really nice one once the market has settled down. This TV will then be used in the den as a second set to replace the CRT that is there at the moment. Are there any benefits or pitfalls to either type of TV ? Are they noisy, quiet, hot or cold ? I don’t know if anyone is reading this but if someone has any thoughts or has indeed bought a new tv lately any thoughts would be superb ! Help me solve my problem !!!

Should I go for 2 HDMI connections ? Can I connect my pc/lap top directly to the PC or will that require a separate connector ? I hope there are some techo guys/girls out there !!
