I've had a Panasonic 50" HDTV for about 7 years...more or less. It's the kind with a $200 replaceable bulb and I just did that. It's now out again but it's not the bulb but the ballast I'm told. That's a $450 repair so I'm gonna get a newer/better one and need input.
I want, I think, either an lcd or led but don't really know the diff to tell the truth. Plasmas are cheaper but most say they don't last as long usually. ?? I do have a friend with a plasma that's ten years old and just fine, so I dunno the real truth. They do seem to be cheaper.
So my question is what brands are best to look at in the 47-50 inch range? And, where are prices best. Rather not pay tax and shipping so Amazon sounds good in that respect. We use it mostly on the dish and have a wifi DVD player to watch Netflix. Usually only watch about 3 hr at night if that matters. Good sound is impt. but I could attach external speakers if need be.
Thanks for all the advice I know you guys can and will give me
