I need to buy a flat screen television. I'm thinking of getting an LCD instead of a Plasma, but I was wondering if anyone has bought a TV projector and what they think of it? What speakers would I need with that too? Also, I checked the prices out at Worst Buy, but was wondering if anyone has any other recommendations? Thanks!

Bah! You do not NEED to by a television. In fact, you'd be better off if you didn't! :-D Marc

Wait for this http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/vizio-presents-240hz-led-backlit-updates-to-the-xvt-series/[^] Actually, TV is shit. But movies and video games are good.

I'd suggest shopping around the big chain stores and picking out a TV that you think looks the best. Then try to find it in a smaller specialty shop where the salesmen are on commission and willing to beat all the advertised prices to make a buck. Works out pretty good in Portland any way. I looked into buying a projector. Basically you need either a very dark room or a very powerful/expensive projector for it to look good. I'd suggest shooting for a big LCD and make sure it does a 120hz refresh rate. Those have a noticeably smoother picture.

:) Ah, you pushed the big red "Marc will now rant about the brainwashing of parents and that education for a 4 year old does NOT have ANYTHING to do with 'educational programs' on TV!" :-D Marc

LOL. That's true if all you do is dump your child in front of a TV and say you're done. But I actually stimulate his brain with questions about stuff he's watching just to get his mojo working. Trust me, TV is not my answer to education, but it helps when you want him to learn stuff and you've run out of things for him to do at that age.

Check out the price of replacement bulbs for a projector - and the expected life of the bulb. If it is genuinely for your 4 year old I would just buy the cheapest no-name brand you can (or, better still, buy him some leggo, building bricks, paints, soccer balls, plants, cookery items, books, musical instruments) HD quality is not going to make a spliff of difference to someone of that age (indeed One In Five HDTV Owners Can't Tell Standard Def From HD[^]) We do have a TV (I have a five year old) and we try to limit the TV (none on school mornings, for example) he watches. He actually prefers documentaries most of the time (but also likes funniest home videos and talent shows). Being a single child, it's kinda hard sometimes to entertain him, so having the TV there is good (for us) but can be an issue. Telling him he can't watch it is much harder than just not having one at all!

Collegue has a projector, equivalent of 100" screen. There are many pros & cons but the main one was the projector needs a darker room than a TV, note note darkened just darker. This guy spent substantial funds on his set as he is a videophile so I trust his judgement on quality, his take on value on the other hand is completely skewed.

Projectors suck. We have a plasma, I think. It's a panasonic, 65", the biggest you can buy. With a blu ray pixar movie, the quality is just astonishing.
