Need help buying a HDTV

Posted by vinyl survivor (A) on June 11, 2010 at 05:48:46

Hello everyone,

I must admit I've been out of the loop on HDTV’s. My church is looking to purchase a HDTV (720 is OK) for our parish center and I'm looking for advice on what brand/size/type (Plasma, LCD?) we should purchase to mount on the wall. They want it thin so I'm thinking DLP is out of the question. It will also be connected to a DVD player (HDMI,) We will not have a Blue-Ray player connected.

The room size is 16' X 22', but has two pocket doors (6' opening) that leads to another room which is the same width and another 20' deep. Another words the TV will mainly be for the 16X22 room, but could also be viewed from the other room as well when needed. The TV will be mounted on the 16' wall. Also the TV needs the capability to be connected to a computer as well for presentations and such.

There are windows on one wall, but have blinds that can be shut. It also has sheers (completely over windows) and drapes (don't close). I have never noticed this room to be very bright from sunlight (i.e. no direct sunlight.) When the room is in use, the above fluorescent lights are usually turned on. However, during daylight hours, the TV probably would be fine with the above lights turned off.

We would want a quality product that will last for many years (I know, I am asking for the moon.)

The budget is in the $1,000 to $1,500 range. We might could go a little higher if their is something better/worthy of the price. Any suggestions on size, brand/model, type would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.
