A few weeks ago, my friends and I were trying to decide at whose house we were going to watch a big game. My friend, Ken’s house has the advantage because it is located in the center. It is 5 miles from my home, 6 miles from Jim’s, and 12 miles from Bret and Sally. However, Ken is a new father so our viewing experience might be interrupted by the baby’s frequent crying.

Jim suggested that we watch it at Bret and Sally’s house. The problem was that they live on the outskirts so they are far from everyone. They do have a HDTV LCD TV, but they are horrible house cleaners. Since a few of us are allergic to mold, we don’t want our viewing of the game to be interrupted by severe allergic reactions.

We finally decided to watch the game at my house. I also have a HDTV LCD TV, but it is not quite as brand new and spiffy as Bret and Sally’s HDTV LCD TV. My friends probably want to watch the game at my house because I always serve the best snacks and there is plenty of room for everyone.

The buying of large-screen TVs has absolutely skyrocketed lately. It seems that everyone wants one ? and with good reason. The large-screen TV has come a long way from those faded-out behemoths of old that took up half your living room and never really produced a picture of decent quality. Now, however, especially in combination with HDTV, you can get not only a nice, large picture, but a crisp, clean one too.

Once you decide that you?re ready for a large-screen TV, you quickly discover that you only really have two main options ? a plasma TV or an LCD TV. Plasma TVs were first on the scene, but the recent mass production of LCD TVs by major manufactures has put LCD TVs pretty much on equal footing with plasmas. That said, you will still have to make a choice.
