What big screen TV do you think is best?

[GBRulz]

I just bought a new Samsung cell phone. The display on it is pretty nice

Thanks to everyone who busted out the info. I ended up going with a 67 Samsung DLP. With the HD Sunday ticket I have seen every (except CHI-there & WSH-couldn't be home) game picture perfect. I don't even like watching movies that aren't HD anymore. Was watching "Kingpin" for like the 100th time but first in HD, kicked ass of course.


I have to say ESPN/ABC and FOX have the best HD cameras. No station beats theirs.

Now on to the bad ass surround system. Sumthin that'll make your house shake like a titty bar during your next showing of Transformers.

67 inch DLP...are you a bachelor?

Didn't read the whole thread, so I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but www.avsforum.com is an invaluable resource for looking at TV's. It helped me a ton when I was looking - debunked some myths (like plasma burn in) and steered me towards my final choice of an LG LCD. I wanted to use it as a pc display, and the 1:1 pixel mapping sold me.

Nah, I just wear my belt extra tight.

You made the right choice for once. Way to go.

DLP looks better than Plasma or LCD right now. Anyone who thinks Projection is junk hasn't seen one since they helped their grandma set hers up 15 years ago.

I don't think wireless is there yet. They do have some damn near flat speaker wire the goes on walls like tape and is paintable.

The good thing about an investment in a sound system is that they don't come out with something twice as good at half the price every 6 months. Budgets are all over the place.

My kids were cowering in their seats during the ship battles in Master and Commander. That's a great one to test out a new system.

And Guiness is right about www.avsforum.com . It's the best place to get informed. The problem for many people is that the volume of information is staggering, and it might take a month or so getting comfortable with a decision.

One strategy might be to throw out a budget, design a system, and then see what you'd get for your money by throwing another 20% or so at it.

What's your percentage of TV vs. movies?

Rear projection CRT's are still awesome, even though they don't build them anymore (cept for Hitachi). I have a 6 year old Mits. 73 inch tv, and when properly cleaned and calibrated, it'll hold up with anything made now. They stopped making them for reasons that had nothing to do with PQ. They were just way too big, and way too heavy. The beautiful thing is that people are practically giving them away when they buy flat screens. I wish I had room for another, because you can buy one for around $500 bucks on Craigslist now. Another $500 for calibration, and you're set for 5-7 years.
