I am considering spending way too much on a new TV and want a good viewing angle from the sides. I currently have a 32" WEGA (not HD) and 2 kids who watch from the floor and odd angles.

I know Plasma has a 160-degree viewing radius, but what about LCD and DLP?

Anyone have experience or recommendations?
