How do you have that kind of money going to grad school?

I would just buy a nice lcd and save like 800$ til I move into my own place

contrast ratio doesnt mean shit

unless you have a huge room this is going in just get a 720 plasma and save you like $500+

figured the following things out when i got mine
1. sitting closer than 12ft, 720 v 1080 doesnt matter
2. plasmas have great viewing angles lcd's do clearly
3. plasmas suck when it comes to glare from other light sources (very reflective)
4. comparing picture quality plasmas > lcd
5. comparing price up to 50+ inches plasmas > lcd
6. save some cash and buy a huge LED

cuz i do clearly have to pay my tuition, and have a stipend where i can save a lil.

yeah i like LED because you get the brightness/dark of plasma, without the power consumption or the glare

stressing that my parents have nothing to do with this.

1500$ seems to speak otherwise unless you are going on a ramen diet or payment plan

go to best buy and pick out the one that looks nicest
