    i have a 40 inch lcd now which is nice but kinda want to go bigger and move it into my bedroom.

    have a onkyo 607 i think receiver and polk audio speakers 70 series standing and psw10 sub. its not a huge space so its perfect. run all my video through my wdtv (which is def getting upgraded) into the receiver and get beautiful sound

    Sounds like a nice set-up. I have a fairly large space. I have the Panasonic 54' VT25 TV. Added the Ascend Acoustic CMT-340 for R/C/L and the Ascend CBM-170 SE for surrounds to go with a HSU Research VTF-15H sub for a 5.1. Powered by a Yamaha RX-V867. Spent a little more than I wanted but very satisfied

    Wat? Mitsubishi is an awesome company that is the best well now probably only maker of DLP. It's cheap because there's such a low demand these days. It's a damn fine product.

    Anyone know about Hannspree TVs? Been looking to upgrade in my room from my old tube HD for a while. Ran across one of their 42" LCDs for about $450, and the online reviews are raving....never heard of em before.

    Further more a 32 inch for the bedroom is big enough especially for someone looking at 22 inches. :cmonson: no point in a tv thread if you're giving advice that normal i have no clue what i'm talking about people would give.

    Just looked it up. Most were 400+ and if they were around 212 they had many hours on them because they were floor models.

    Maybe 8-10 were legit new tvs at that price.

    I mean, if I were you I'd just save it then and wait, unless you're using the thing strictly as a computer monitor. I feel like 22" is just too small but thats just my preference.

    unless your bedroom is a closet pay a bit extra and get a 42 inch. You can get 42 inch plasmas for cheap these days.

    If that's not a good deal can someone help a brotha find a better one? I'm looking for 40+ inch, don't wanna spend a fortune but don't want crap.

    I'd try and peep it in person, but the stats look good and for 500 thats not a bad deal... Never really seen a Westinghouse in person so I can't speak to the image quality, but for the cost/size/resolution/refresh rate thats a p good deal

    Deals have been pretty scarce lately and you are looking in the size range that is, by far, the hardest to find deals.

    Depending on lighting, you most likely want a plasma, and you should easily be able to find a plasma in that range for $500.
