The VISUAL part of AV

Simple question.

What is the best visual system to buy.

I know!!, "what do I mean by 'Best' ?"

Well, I'm not going to spend £20k+ because a) I don't have £20k + to blow; and b) in a fast-changing market-place, this year's chick is soon going to be last year's hag.

Do I go for a CRT TV; or a plasma; or an LCD; or a projector (DLP v LCD)...or?

I suppose that I really want a 150" TV set for under £2.5k, then I could watch high-speed action-movies with incredible detail, enjoying the "big-screen" experience in daylight/tungsten-light convenience.

So, to be a bit more realistic, what do you suggest in the meantime?

Cheers

Don

We have a dedicated home cinema room with a DLP projector and 8ft screen. It can be used as a normal tv (via Sky) but in practice most "normal" tv viewing is done on conventional sets in other rooms.
