LCD/Regular TV. Which is the best n How to choose a LCD TV

Hi IL-ites,

Advance Diwali Wishes.

Diwali in India is a time for huge celebration and people urge to buy new products for their home. So I am. We wanted to buy a 29' inches TV and was checking the features available, different models etc., To complicate LCD TV fever is in peak .

I am in a dilemma and want your help. Which one to buy LCD or Regular TV ? Please advise.

If I were to choose a regular TV what I should consider? If I am going for a LCD what features I should consider.

(If its LCD - planning to buy 26 inches and Regular TV - 29 inches.)

Cheers,
Gayathri
