But a too-large TV can really overpower a room. To get the right big-screen TV for your needs, you'll need to consider screen size, the display technology, your budget, and your viewing preferences. What follows are most of the crucial questions you'll need to answer for future viewing pleasure."</i><br /><br />If you're gearing up to brave the teeming masses on Boxing Day for those great sales, it pays to be prepared and know what kind of TV you're looking for. This is quite a good article - it's well balanced and seems quite unbiased. Give it a read if you want to flesh out your knowledge a little before going TV shopping. My personal suggestion is to buy a DLP TV. :wink:

Jason,

What do think about LCoS tvs and specificaly Philips Cineos Line?
I saw them in the local Bose store and they look awsome. But I read on some forum that Philips is pooling out from LCoS technology. Would you advice to buy it?

I don't know much about LCoS, sorry. The big momentum seems to be behind DLP, Plasma, and LCD. I personally chose a DLP because it was the best mix of features, quality, price, and size for my needs.
