As ridiculous as it sounds, I'm looking into getting a third bigscreen tv. I have the 55inch main tv upstairs in the entertainment area, and the 42inch in the 'video game room'. I have one final room that doesn't need a tv....but I want one. It's my sports room. It's down in the basement so i can be loud late at night, play pool and watch hockey. I have a small 24 inch crt tv set up in a small tv area. My annoyance is that I can't watch hockey and play pool at the same time. At it's furthest I'm about 30 feet away from the tv while playing pool. I was going to bring in the 42 inch, but a group of people playing Wii on a 24 inch tv just doesn't work.
Long story short, I'd like a very basic 47-55inch tv for down there. It's only going to be playing SD content from bell expressvu. No movies, no HD content, and no 3D stuff. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a good value tv that might suit the need. I would like it to be around 1000 bucks before taxes. There is a bit of wiggle room, but over 1200 bucks won't be considered. I would like to keep to retailers that I can find in Ottawa.
Any questions are welcome if they would help come to a suggestion. I'm not really up on the TV scene, so I'm not sure which brands or which models suck, or what is a good value.
Whatcha got TR?
