Which forum is most relevant?
Since our website covers quite a broad spectrum of topics, we have a lot of forums. From plasma TVs to speakers, digital cameras to high definition movies. For convenience the forums are grouped into categories. For example, the Video Electronics category contains the LCD Flat Panel Televisions forum.

I feel reluctant to join in because I'm new to the subject
We're all new to the subject at some time. Our rules state that members should treat each other with respect, although we rarely need to enforce these rules as ours is a very friendly community. Please don't feel intimidated by our veteran members, as they are, for the most part, extremely friendly, and you are very welcome here.
