I haven't shopped for a new tv in decades. Is it worth getting 8k? How do I get the best Black Friday deal? What features are most important? Thanks.

All the big name brands require an internet connection now and some (all?) will be phoning home. Who knows what information is being sent back to Big Brother.

If you're dead set on a bigassed, high res TV then you probably don't have much choice though. We're still watching a 10+ year old 42" TV but it's starting to have issues, when it dies I'm not sure what we'll do. Though it's really only my wife that watches 'TV'. The rest of us consume all of our entertainment on our computers.

There's a new projection technology that uses lasers, called UST (Ultra Short Throw) that's quite impressive and actually not that expensive considering that it's cutting edge. Check out Formovie Theater.

I guess we both watched the same YouTube video about this. Quite impressive. I wonder whether it refreshes the display only once per frame like a CRT.

Thanks. I'll look into the projection idea.
