Walmart was having some pre-Black Friday sales on TVs. I bought a 32" Vizio LCD HDTV for $300.

Fucking amazing. I think Target is also selling them for dirt cheap.

Linkage to the TV Website

Get one while you can!

Plasma screens are way better for video than LCDs of any type.

I am sooo tempted to buy a Mitsu 83" DLP MONSTER!!! They have one here at a local TV store, and it is a friggin beast. It has a shitty viewing angle, and is prone to glare problems but my living room its really long and somewhat narrow so it would fit perfectly. It's just the part where it costs like $3500 that sucks.

What are the specs? Or at least the model number?

You could get a pretty badass plasma or 3D LCD TV for 3500 dollars. Not 83 inches, but definitely better in terms of picture quality and viewing angle.

I guess I am lucky that I'm not a videophile then. I don't have to hunt down laserdiscs and laserdisc players to enjoy a movie, nor do I require an expensive home theater setup.

Just FYI:
If you compare an LCD to a Plasma with similar picture quality, the Plasma will likely be at least a hundred dollars cheaper.

You don't need to have a huge budget to get a nice home theater system.

yes. the only reason you'd want an LCD over a plasma is if you're viewing in a room that is constantly well lit as plasma reflect more

It's true that you're only supposed to transport a plasma vertically. If you set the TV screen down or on its back you might have some issues.

But just picking it up, moving it, bumping into it, or any other day-to-day shit? You've got nothing to worry about.

I dunno about you, but I'd have a hard time playing four player split screen on a 23 inch computer monitor. And I certainly wouldn't want to watch a movie with friends or family on a screen that small.

Oh wait, you don't have friends. So I guess it doesn't matter.

Also, computer monitors generally lack other basic features. Composite, component, S-Video, and coaxial connectors are super rare on monitors, unless they have their own tuners.

You could get a pretty badass plasma or 3D LCD TV for 3500 dollars. Not 83 inches, but definitely better in terms of picture quality and viewing angle.
Better than DLP in viewing angle? Probably, if it's anything like my RPCRT, because the image really fades at off viewing angles for some dumb reason.

Better than DLP in image quality? That's a lofty claim, especially if the Mitsubishi set in question is one of their LaserVue models. Reviewers claim those things rival or perhaps even surpass Pioneer Kuro Elites. (But at this point, unless you're getting some REALLY good discounts, you're spending way more than $3500.)

To get back on topic, I still don't have any new displays worth talking about, much less HDTVs. All I'm concerned with right now is finding a female SCART plug that I can use to wire up an adapter for my XV29 Plus so I can see how good RGB out of an SNES looks.

Also, I still need an ideal display for my Xbox. 16:9 (with a 4:3 option so the games that don't support anamorphic widescreen don't look all fucked), component, and capable of making both 480p AND 720p look good, not to mention as little input lag as possible. Any recommendations that won't break the bank?

Check Craigslist for any of the 32 inch WEGA CRT HDTVs from Sony.

They're cheap as shit because they're so heavy, but the picture quality is superb.
