I need to get a new TV in the coming year. I'm not a home theater freak so won't be getting a 60" or any other large size screen. I've been happy with my 20" TV, but it's gonna' be obsolete, and I have a new house in the works.

What's Blue Ray, and why do I want or need it? I don't play computer games and doubt I'd have any use for Playstation. I wouldn't know what to do with a Playstation or X-box if I had one.

The thing I do want is for my TV to run through my stereo system. Currently run the TV through a VHS tape machine so it goes through the stereo. Probably have to get a new stereo too.

So LCD is preferable to Plasma? Why? Fortunately I have a few months or so to figure this out.
