We did settle on JVC 32" LCD - bloody nice it is .. wasn't keen on the 'burning pixel' problems of the plasmas' everyone mentions, and also have friends that have 12mth old screens that are u/s ..
got a great deal during the end of fin. yr sales (can you wait till next year?) seriously, saved nearly 1k ... have in fact connected it to the sony stereo system and it is a beauty!!
the catch with these things .. the $ spent on the cabling required to hook it all up .. my next trip into the shops will be to buy the DVD recorder thingy as it isn't just that easy to hook up the mighty VCR!!
