    Dennis, we have 2 Sharp Aquos. Both produce a fantastic picture. You will indeed watch it more if you receive HD. I now don't care to even watch it if it isn't a HD channel. For myself, I could care less about movies but do watch alot of the nature channels as well as sports and channels like Discovery, History and A&E ,as well as some of the News channels.

    I have over the air and a 32" 720P Panasonic I bought about 8 years ago. If I were Dennis, I'd get a very low end HD TV as it will be a HUGE improvement over what he's got now.

    Right where I want to be.
    I found a setting in the menu of our LED TV that made the picture much clearer, even though it's an older model (we got it at Wally's in '07).
    We got a 47" Phillips, and back then, it was almost $1700.00. You can get better TVs for less than 1/2 that now.
    Time for at least one shopping trip.
    Oh, and we haven't had a single problem with the TV in the 6.5 years we've had it.
    I'm gonna' go knock on wood.....:rofl: :lol:

    Whatever you get be sure to view it in the store at the viewing distance you will have it at in your house.

    We have a 40" Dynex (Best Buy) and a 70" Sharp Aquos HD Smart TV, the Dynex is in our bedroom and has a "decent" picture (720p), but that Aquos is a 1080p and has an AMAZING picture! I've never spent any money on a TV until the Aquos, but it was worth it. When I renovated the hearth room, I ran all the audio/video cables in the walls and had a custom oak cabinet built for the DVD/audio equipment, so the TV is mounted on a pivotal mount on the wall and we LOVE it. Also bought a soundbar for the time being (Klipsch Audio) until I get the surround system, man does that make it nice to watch a good movie!!

    Whatever you decide, take your time and shop around. We bought the Aquos last year on Superbowl weekend and got a GREAT deal on it, thats probably the best time of the year to buy a TV.
