Plasma TVs, Not Plasma Torpedoes!
I realize that I won't be able to afford a new TV for a while, but when my friend loaned me "Road to Perdition" and my cousin made me promise not to watch it on my 14" TV with its crappy sound system… well, I started thinking a new TV should probably go on my wishlist. But I don't really know what I want.
When my mother gave me her 15" free-TV-with-purchase last summer, I was excited. Not for the whole extra inch but because it was an LCD TV. I quickly discovered, however, that LCD screens (at least this particular LCD screen) can be limited in their viewing angle… the picture looks very dark if I'm not positioned just so. Now what?
Once again, the internet to the rescue. This site called TestFreaks has reviews of a large selection of different TVs; I'm kind of leaning towards a Plasma TV now. The site would be even better if you could sort by specific features and/or do a side-by-side comparison of selected makes and models. I'd also like to see photos of the TVs in question because aesthetics are important too. But there's a whole lot of information in one place, so that's a pretty decent start.
