Need a new tv for March Madness...suggestions?

[LoveBasketball]

I am a huge fan of March Madness and look forward to it every year! This year, though, I want to get rid of my little 32" TV and get something that will actually be fun to watch.

I want at least a 40" HDTV, 1080p, and in the realm of like $1,000-$1,500 bucks. So obviously I can't get a super high end brand like Sony.

I was thinking maybe Vizio... they have a 42" LCD that is only like $1k. They seem to be decent quality but I don't know much about them.

What do you think? Other suggestions? I'm trying to stay (somewhat) low budget here.

Thanks!

I'm very happy with my DuMont. I also have a Philco.

I only watch "What's My Line" from the 50s in black and white on GSN. Boy, that Bennett Cerf was a real hoot.

How many channels y'all get up there? We get 3 now, and we look out the window a lot.

This is Oregon. We get the "Rain Channel", the "Tree Channel" and GSN. BTW - on last night's "What's My Line" (an episode from 1952), one of the guests was a Robert Knight. No, not that one, this one weaved cloth to make diapers. One of the panelists, Hal Block, asked if the product ever came in contact with water. When he finally found out what the guy did, he laughed so hard at what he had said he almost fell out of his chair.

Also BTW - up here, watching the "Rain Channel" and the "Tree Channel" is really about the same as looking out the window.

Uhhh what? Haha that's awesome! I haven't even heard of these brands

How old are your TVs? I'm guessing you have yet to join the HD revolution! As someone else said, basketball is amazing in HD!

Why would it be awesome and a 'haha' if you've never heard of them?

You just HAVE to go for the Fanbuoy63. The inscreen zoom lets you focus on all of the close calls brought to your attention by announcers.
