DLP, LCD or Plasma?
I've tinkered with the idea of upgrading my TV in the next year or two. I'm think about DLP; seems to have a clearer picture. LCD has about as clear of a picture, but I hear they have "ghosting" when sports or live TV comes on. Anyone have experience with them?

Matty, price is an object. Unless you're buying. Are you? Tis the season. [:D]
I'd like to stay under $2K. I've read LCD is improving by leaps and bounds, and will be the display of choice in the future. The size availability is expanding. However, DLPs cost less and, for now, seem to offer a better picture. Plasmas seem expensive, lose picture quality over time, and don't offer much over LCDs. Any brands to look out for? I avoid Wal-Mart like the plague. I usually buy big ticket items at Sears, Best Buy, or a good independent store (There's one it town that offers interest free for years all the time.)
Under $2k? No problem.
Get a Sony Bravia 50" LCD 1080p for about the 12 hundred mark and spend the extra on surround sound.
I like the way you think.0 -
Here's the Sony Bravia
Then add this Polk Audio system powered by this Harmon Kardon Reciever
That Harmon Kardon reciever will give the best sound quality in that price range (to $600-700). It's only some 45W/Channel. It'll be loud enough for most people.
This Onkyo will give good quality with a bit more punch.0 -
Folks,.......there is a difference between LCD, and LCD projection sets, that many of you are speaking of.
Don't confuse the guy!
A true LCD does not have a "bulb" to replace!0 -
Beware of the Sharp Aquos...I bought a 32" and had a couple major problems with it. The manager at Best Buy finally admitted they had several brought back with the same problems as mine.
After my third trip back to Best Buy, they gave me a choice of replacements and I choose a Sony Bravia. That was about 9 months ago. Very happy with the Sony.0 -

Very true!
My LCD is too thin to fit a bulb of any size in it.0 -

Why do the LCD screen images look as though you're looking through a screen door? (the mesh effect?) Plasma doesn't do that, at least to my eyes. 0 -
I've never noticed it on any LCDs that I've watched.
Perhaps your visual acuity is superior to most folks.

I just got a 58" Panasonic Plasma installed yesterday. It's a 10th generation unit.
65,000 hour service life.
1080p resolution.
10,000:1 contrast ratio
2048 shade gray scale, highest available.
burn in potential without using screen saver considered non-existant
Driven by a Denon 988.0 -
In my opinion for the clearest and brightest picture a Sony LCD in the XBR Series (XBR5 now) is the way to go! However, they are a little more expensive than the rest. 0 -
I have 61" sansung DLP. Very clear picture. Love it.[8D] 0 -

so, Panasonic is lying in their print literature? Do manufacturers do this often? I doubt it.0 -

I feel outclassed. I have a CRT Projection. They used to be alot cheaper than the other types mentioned. I don't see many now at the stores. I don't know if they were bad or manufacturers are pushing the more expensive tvs.
FCD, how do the CRT Projection's compare?
Mine is a Hitachi 57f59. It is HD but only 1080i.0 -
FCD, thanks. It is all in one unit, makes for a very big TV. Maybe two feet deep and has its own base about two feet high that holds all the electrical.
When I got it, I wasn't able to set it up for about 2 months. When I first turned it on immediately had problems with the bulbs. Hitachi went good, sent a guy, took the TV and replaced the bulbs. The dust was inside the bulbs, the repair guy said the TV should have never left the factory that way.
I have been using it for about a year now and like it. No problems since.
If I upgrade or replace I would definitely go with an LCD.0 -
NOTHING has an MTBF of 85,000 hours - except, maybe the Sun.

Eariler I stated that lcd was the way to go, well plasma has come along way, better color by a long shot. If they only last 2 yrs, well look at how fast technolgy is moving, in two yrs we will be looking at 3-D. I have since put in a 50" plasma tv, I have cable and just love the picture. 0
