A big screen TV is not a matter of need but it’s also not a matter of money (at least for you it shouldn’t). If you have $20,000 saved just for the purpose of this journey, then you should have about $2,000 to $3,000 to spare comfortably for a big screen. Technology will keep evolving, so will there ever be the perfect time? Now, big screens have been available for a while so at least it’s not brand new (and there’s a mandatory de-bug phase). You have enough selection, pick one and go for it. My personal opinion: if you’re paying top dollar (LCD, plasma, or others), you’re going to get quality. Will there be slight differences? Yes, but very slight. Go for it!

If you have TIVO or DVR, having a big screen to rewind plays is the best. You don’t have to wait for instant replay. Not to mention in some many cases you can see if a ref’s call is bogus.

I have the Samsung LCD and like it. If you’re a big sports fan like me, a nice, big screen TV is a worthwhile purchase (Especially if you can’t always afford to buy event tickets or attend the away games).
