I thought I knew nothing about modern-day TVs. I thought they passed me by! Let's go....

This I knew! I asked my brother this and he said it wouldn't be a problem. Luckily, in the town he lives in (in western NY) it's almost always overcast. Excellent!
Plasmas only last about 3-4 years.
This I did not know.
DPI's are ok too, and usually cheaper (although, you can't hang those on a wall).
Last I knew, my brother kept two things on his wall: his softball and football plaques and the business cards of several reputable bail bondsmen. Ha! Ha ha!
Either one will have the glare issues.
Funnily enough, so does my brother!

On both types, if you only have standard reception, you won't notice that much of a difference until you get HD Tv reception. So in a nutshell, if you are spending the extra money for a better tv get the better cable as well. If it's just for gaming-get the Plasma :)
How do you get HD TV reception? I know nothing about this. Like for instance I have Directv. Does that come with a package I can subscribe to, to get this high definition stream?
