Just curious, have you thought about taking a look at an LED TV vs an LCD? Much less heat, much less energy usage, and just as good of a picture if not better. (Can you tell I'm itching to change out our LCD for an LED...).

I have no idea what any of that means. I do know we can't use a plasma screen because of the glare but beyond that, we based our decision on the priice (all other things being equal).Quote:

I must find a home for the incumbent set. It is a big old JVC that is working very well. I'd like to get it to a family (or someone) that could really use it.`

The higher frequency is nicer for people that like sports as it will reduce trails seen on lower frequency refresh rates. Hence why some companies, Like Sony, are using names like "Motionflow technology" when referring to the refresh rate in Hz.
As for i versus p, i (interlaced) is great for TV watchers since most programs are reduced to lower bandwidth usage and the p (progressive scan) is excellent for DVD - Blu-ray viewers. Also, some TV programs are in p.
With contrast ratio (on/off) don't let this pressure you on a purchase. Yes, it is true the higher the number (40000:1 versus 1000:1) will provided brighter whites and darker blacks it is generally seen, and best used by people who watch TV or movies in the dark. If you view it in light you'll see a difference but will not be fully experienced until the room is dark.
Just thought I would share this info with ya in addition to the great advice other gents have given you. :)
