    Few questions about HDTVs

    Alright, so I shouldn't feel bad about getting an LCD over Plasma. My friend said burn-in is probably one of the most annoying things you can get with a TV, and LCD is immune, so that's really great news. Does anyone have any recommendations for tv's in the 40-50" range for a good price? I'm...
