HDTV, here I come (I hope)

A little over a year ago we moved into The Gatewood Mannor, and while I absolutely love the house, it took a large chunk of my savings to restore the house to its deserved glory. Taking on a restoration project left precious little money for things like, oh say, actually buying decent furniture, custom blinds (all 22 windows are handcrafted frames, and thus require custom blinds), and other niceties.

My eight-year-old 32 inch Sony Trinitron TV has been sitting on the floor of the living room since we moved into the house, which has not made my wife a happy camper. She hates clutter, and having a TV on the floor, complete with game systems, controllers, DVDs, games, etc has not gone over well with my Tonya.

So now the time has come for a new TV. Reading between the lines, my wife has given the green-light for this big ticket item purchase. It is high time to get the TV off the floor. Funny how things like that work.

I figure that my allotted space will allow me to take on a 42-46 inch TV. Plasma? DLP? 1080p? Time to spend some time researching options, putting forth a budget, and seeing which set provides the best viewing pleasure for my money. If all the local channels broadcast HTDV over the air (and I think several do) then this may be the perfect time to pick up some DirectTV. Say hello NFL network.

HDTV suggestions welcome.
