Your Next TV–Digital vs Analog

In general, I would say go digital.  By about this time next year, all analog TV channels will be shut down, and force over-the-air viewers to get a digital TV, or a digital to analog conversion set top box.  If you are in the market for a new TV, you will be spending a significant chunk of change anyway, you might as well buy a TV that won’t be obsolete so quickly.

The flip side is that analog TV’s will be getting a lot cheaper–because they are going obsolete.  If you are getting cable, satellite TV, or only watching movies, the broadcast change won’t really affect you.  If you aren’t going to go HD, then you might be able to find a great deal on a standard TV.  (but if you regret it in a year or two… don’t say I didn’t warn you)
