Christmas shopping begins

With christmas just one week away, will be starting my gift shopping this week. We have been having a very hectic schedule lately, with lot of deliverables due at work. So this time, planning to keep shopping simple by relying mainly on the gift certificates for every one.

Whoever came up with the idea of gift card must be great person according to me. Gift cards really have simplified life for many people. In addition, there are no shipping hassles, and it gives the other person flexibility to decide what to buy.

One item I was thinking to buy was a big TV for ourselves as the prices seemed to have come down a lot. Have finally started understanding a bit about the differences between LCD, DLP, Plasma, Projection TV, etc. Didn't realize that buying a simple TV would involve dealing with so much terminology and doing research! Oh well......hopefully, it will be worth it.

For the large-screen TV, I basically relied on the internet to do the research. Seems Plasma TV are the among the best from picture quality perspective, but they also are probably the most expensive. CRT are also good but they are very bulky, so I didn't consider them. DLP TV seem to be getting popular these days because of their good quality and reasonable prices.

Here are some links that provide more info:
