Need help on a widescreen tv please.
howdy all,
apologies in advance if this has been covered elsewhere. my grandparents are in the market for a new tv to replace their old 27". the problem is that the only tv that will fit in the tv area is one that is wall mountable. does anyone have any suggestions of tv's that would be good? i think something around 40-44" would be fine or even a bit smaller if need be. i am not sure about LCD or plasma. i have heard that plasma can be a bit more fragile than LCD. thanks.

would i be correct in assuming that the only options that are wall mountable are plasma or LCD?
as for viewing habits, they watch directv and football. they might watch some movies but not a whole lot. the only reason that they have to get this is because the only way they can get a bigger tv otherwise is to rip the wall out.

If you enjoy shopping on that special day after Thanksgiving, there is going to be a pretty sweet deal on the 32" LCD TV I recently bought (JVC LT32x576) at BBY (price will be $1199).
I'm loving this TV and have had no problems with it. Getting it for $1200 would have been sweet. Oh well.
Maybe not as big as you are looking for, but I noticed that deal and thought I'd point it out...

Do they watch lots of sports and news with the tickers scrolling along the bottom,or a static score image? If so,you might want to go with lcd to avoid any potential burn in problems.
