I am in need of a new TV and I can't quite come to a decision about what I want or need. I have about $1000 to spend on one, or maybe $1200 if I absoloutely fall in love with one. My delima is whether to get a nice analog (old school) 36" flat screen or a hi-definition (new school) 32" flat screen. I know for a fact that for right now I would be more than happy with the 36". I'm even thinking ahead a little because I will be moving into my newly built house in less than a year from now and the living area is pretty good sized and a slightly larger screen would be a real nice treat. The only thing I'm thinking about the 32" TV is that I keep hearing that Hi-def will be the only signal availabe in about 5-6 years which would reduce the picture size down on a 36" screen to get the picture to fit the taller picture tube.
Right now we have two TVs in our house. Both are 27" TVs and both were highschool graduation presents from my wifes parents to her and from my mom to me. That means that my wifes TV is about 14 years old, and it doesn't even have a remote, not that the remote was lost, but that it isn't even capeabe of being operated with a remote of any kind. My 27" TV is about 12 years old and is the one that is going to hell. The picture keeps flashing to complete black, and can't keep it's harizontal hold very good. You literaly have to smack the TV on the side of the box to get the picture to come back to normal. I'm really in desperate need of a TV this week.
I really like the 36" Sony KV 36FV310 and it's right in the $1000-$1100 range. Or there are a couple Panasonic 36" or RCA 36" TVs that come in closer to $900. Any one have any suggestions???
