573454 2007-07-28 06:48:00 I said goodbye to my old trusty TEAC TV late last year. It was running very well for 14 years. and cost only ~$400 back in 1994. I saw the 1995 Rugby World Cup (with Jonah Lomu) on it!

It was found that the CRT tubes had busted and that new ones would cost about a total of $160. I was told that it would be a better idea to buy a new TV for about $400.

Since then new flat panel TVs have turned up on the appliance store shelves here in North Shore City.

Now what would be a good new TV to purchase? Remember that I am looking ahead for the next 14 years (to the year 2021 :-) when there are supposed to be flying cars and ~10cm higher sea levels. I mean a TV that is reliable and nice to watch.

My requirements for such a new TV are:
- Clear picture
- Budget level TVs to be under $600 and middle end TVs to be under $1500
- Reliable after purchase service and maintenance
- Takes input from DVD playing and PC devices.
- High definition TV (to future proof it for one year ahead when high def TV comes on the market).
- Teletext

Does anyone have recommendations? These would be appreciated. :cool:
