flat panel reliability improving

X5-RWK · #1 10-21-2006, 10:58 PM

I currently have four plasma's and they all work great. Three HD and one ED. My wife thinks I have a "Plasma" problem, all I have to do is to point to her shoes and jewelry and she gets very quiet. I am always looking for that next flat screen to purchase. I ran out of rooms where I could put a Plasma in this house so I am building a new one and will be purchasing a lot of new flat screens soon. I almost forgot, I have on in my office at work to. Just a 27" Lcd, it's ok but I think that one will need some upgrading soon as well. Lcd's are better as far as hours of use and very little screen burn but they are not as bright as a plasma and normally don't have as good a refresh rate as plasmas do. They make nice computer monitors and small tv's but up until recently have not been that great on larger sizes. Just my two cents.

I have not yet, in my new house I will and my parents just installed one in their new bathroom recently. I do not have any knowledge about what moisture would do to an LCD tv but as long as the placement is good you should be ok. (As far from shower as possible) Also, many states have codes about placing electronic items above sinks and tubs. Some don't allow it at all and others put restrictions about how far above it has to be. Usually 4 to 6 feet above a tub or sink. In my parents case we were able to mount the TV lower because the outlets and mount for the TV was a couple inches outside the area of the tub. Obviously the swing arm allows for it to be directly over the tub but the laws have not caught up with that yet.
