I'm pretty neutral on all of these brands. None of them have a ATSC (digital/hdtv) tuner, all except the Magnivox have DVI inputs. Offhand I'd say go with the RCA
1. it's an inch larger. 2. It has 2 NTSC tuners for PIP on analog channels. 3. It's not made by Magnavox.

First, stay away from Walmart..
I second the nomination for the RCA but would also suggest checking out the Philips. Can you purchase from a place that offers more/better brands (like Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic, etc)? Peace...

I also agree that brands such as RCA and especially Magnavox are like buying a Kia and I would never buy Electronics at Wal Mart .
For TVs the likes of Toshiba and Panasonic are a good bet , they may cost a bit more but they are alot better . My suggestion is that you check out the offerings of those brands in the same screensize category , if they cost more than your budget allows I would get the next smaller model . It's better to have a slightly smaller TV that works well than a big piece of crap . |

So $1200 is tops? Ok. That's step one!
 Step two: How much floor space can this tv accomodate? RPTV's for the most part are big and deep. How much room is available to plunk down your new purchase? Step three: CRT projection, LCD projection, or DLP projection? If you aren't familiar with these 3 types, ask away! Step four: High Def or wait? Cable or Dish? That's all I can think of at the moment dude.  |

I have a huge space in my room so unlimited space really.
i have no clue about the projection haha, i just want something clear and not grainy. I don't want a small one though, the LCD ones i've seen have been 1200 for like a 19". but yeah. i want a big one lol. I would like HD if its possible. anddd cable. but i dont have a cable hookup in my room haha. just using it for a dvd/game thing. Thanks dude!
