I would also ask to move this post into the Lab, you might get a better/quicker response.

There's not a lot of difference these days. Pop down to your local Future Shop, see what they've got on special offer, then try and haggle them down a bit further (look up the best prices on the internet to help). There are only a few companies that actually manufacture the screens, and they're all perfectly competent. Probably the most important factor right now is to find one that will blend in well with the rest of your furniture.

Will you have it in a bright room, or dull room? If a bright room then get an LCD.

lol

Most tvs are flat black / chrome and big!!!!! Take your pick like Bazzz says, most do what they say on the tin, we got LCD due to using it as a pc screen too if not I think we would've got plasma cos they were slightly cheaper and no other reason!
