Your question only brought one brand to the surface. Vizio has been known for making cheap and equally reliable flat screen LCDs for the last few years. I would go check them out.
CompUSA is one store that sells at least one model of flat screen LCD TVs. Branches typically carry a number of models that can be viewed at the branch. BestBuy is another retail chain that sells flat screen LCDs.
Plasmas work by lighting up gases in a glass tube. LCDs work by lighting up "liquid" pixels individually.
HDTVs are available in four styles; direct view, flat screen, rear projectors and home theater projectors. Direct view TVs are an older style, inexpensive, bulky with poor screen resolution. Rear projection TVs offer the largest screen at the lowest price. However, as big screen plasma screen become less expensive, RPTVs may disappear from the market. Home theater projectors will provide the largest picture but they require a light controlled environment and plenty of room. Flat screen HDTVs are the most popular. Plasma and LCDs are very similar although the plasma is better when viewed from an angle. 40� LCDs start at around $348.00 while 42� Plasmas begin at around $498.00.
Not noticeably. LCDs are very low-power.
A good resolution for your flat screen lcd tv will depend on the size of the screen on your television. An example is that a good resolution for a 23 inch tv would be 1366x768, and a good resolution for a 40 inch tv would be 1920x1080. This article will give you additional information on resolution in televisions: http://hometheater.about.com/od/televisionbasics/bb/lcdtvbyb.htm
Yes, LCDs use a lot less energy
LCD HDTV's are the latest and most common tv available. Plasma and newer HDTV rear projection tv's are also very nice. Plasma and projection TVs are quickly being phased out. Flatscreen LCDs are becoming the dominate type of television. Unless you have a room with an odd lighting situation, then LCDs really are the best way to go now.
Modern LCD panels can use less than half the energy than the same size plasma. Plasmas tend to be brighter however so be sure to see which one is best for you.
Yes, you can storage a flat screen TV in a storage unit. Keep it in a box to prevent dust getting in the TV. You won't even need to get a climate-controlled storage unit unless you live in a particularly humid environment like Florida. Be careful with Plasma TV's, only store them upright. Laying them flat will put stress on the glass capsules and can cause gas leakage and failure of pixels. LCDs are more robust.
You can get Plasma TVs slightly cheaper than LCDs. There are some concerns about plasma TVs getting ghost images, but most name brand manufacturers have reduced the chance of this happening.
