This is my first post so would like to say hello.
My CRT tv is dead and I need a new tv. At the moment it will only be used to watch Sky + and occasional Wii games but we are not hugely fussed about pinpoint quality on the games my wife plays (Brain academy & the Sports Package although may get Tiger Woods later).
I have 2 young kids who have a tendency to sit fairly close to the tv.
I have read many of the diffrent posts and reckon I have an idea of my requirements but still have a few questions
1) many LCD tvs are marked HD ready but with just 768 lines. Will this be sufficient for my needs just now
2) As my kids sit close to the tv should I just get a 32 inch screen (I had been looking at a 37 inch toshiba)
3) How long do you reckon before 1080 HD broadcast becomes closer to the norm as I don't really want to buy a tv that will be redundant soon.
and lastly
4) When 1080 broadcast does become the norm how will that affect the 768 line tvs.
Sorry my first post is asking so much. Look forward to seeing the replies.
