It's a Holiday- Buy a Flat Panel TV

So you didn't go out and buy that new flat panel TV for the Super Bowl? Now the Olympics are gone and you still don't have your new TV?

Well it's never too late to buy your dream TV, because folks, today is a holiday and a holiday is a great time to buy a TV. Yep, it's National Crown Roast of Pork Day. Yum! Pork and HDTV, a match made in heaven. Anyway, I wanted to point out an article at Wired Magazine that does a great job breaking down flat panel TVs:

Bigger. Wider. Flatter. That's the vision of tomorrow's entertainment. And if you've already got a new high-definition flat-panel TV, you know exactly what we're talking about.
But HD flat-panels aren't just a bleeding-edge luxury anymore. They're about to become the household standard. While today's entertainment networks offer only a handful of high-def programs, the number of HD shows is rapidly growing. And if natural market forces weren't moving rapidly enough for your liking, the United States Congress has just given the technology a firm push forward. There's never been a better time to jump on the HD bandwagon.

The article breaks down these categories:

Digital deadline
LCD versus plasma
Enhanced versus high-definition
All about the hookups
Buy now, or wait?

Overall, a pretty decent read. Hey since it's a holiday, go ahead and take the rest of the day off. I'll cover for you!
