DOOD looks like a lady
Since I've moved to a different room in our house where I have more space available, I want to finally get myself a TV. I've been browsing around the last couple of days, and I'm lost. Even more so than when I began. Every manufacturer has a bunch of models, even in the same size, that all look more or less the same to me.
So I'm hoping that those of you who are more up to speed can help me to get an idea of what to go for.
My criteria so far:
- size: around 40" (give or take a few)
- price (in Germany): around 500? ... 600 if really necessary
- should have a DVB-T tuner
- due to the geometry of the room (attic) a TV with lower height (compared to others of the same size) is prefered
I don't care about 3D and would like to avoid it if it means I can save money. I'll hook my xbox up to the TV, so reaction time could be an issue. Playing videos via USB or ethernet would be nice, I guess. And I'd like a rotatable stand.
Apart from that, I don't really know what sort of features I'd want. But I'm inclined to go for a less feature-laden TV since most of the stuff I've come across seems gimmicky and not like something I'd actually use in reality.
Another thing, I'm also considering to get 2.1 blu-ray entertainment system, and it seem like there's a lot of feature overlap with the TVs themselves. Which is another thing speaking for less features on the TV, I guess?
