    TV setups

    Well i am getting ready to start my move back to pa on the 20th and decided i need to upgrade my tv and leaving it here for my roomates. Its an old 32 in HAHA.. So i need something to put in my living room at my new place. i dont want to go less than 42in and i dont want to spend more than 1200.. So what kind of tv/stand setups do you have? I want to be able to mount on a wall once i stop leasing. So throw up some pics and info thanks...

    If you got one for sale let me know also

    oh and the hertz i keep talking about is the refresh rate, how many times it changes the image on the screen, the 120 changes it way more often so it like completely eliminates motion blur

    You get what you pay for, but you won't miss the higher quality THAT much, especially when you leave $2000 extra in your pocket....

    I bought my 52" RCA projection tv about 3 or 4 years ago - 1080i, HDMI, a good tv at the time - but by today's standards, its extremely outdated.... However, my brother just bought a brand new 46 or 48" plasma, and even though the picture is a little nicer and brighter and all, IMO, its not worth all the extra money... I'm extremely happy with mine, and will not buy another one until this one dies.... The only thing I don't like is that its a traditional projection, meaning its one of the huge ones with the base and everything.... All in all, i'm extremely happy with it - there's a reason I haven't gone out and bought a new one
