Sorry Joe,
All I could afford at the time. So, I am looking for a replacement. Not everyone is a high dollar charlie like you. I have been looking at 58" plasma TVs from Samsung...going up to 65" gets too high dollar....

Why do people like this tv so much? I need answers! It looks awful compared to the lcds in the store. the silky shimmer and the side views

Why do people who make the argument for DLP's always ignore the fact that they have absolute shit viewing angles and dismiss anyone who brings it up. I really want to like DLP's, and hoped that eventually the LED ones might someday have the viewing angles to make them nice, but it is simply a dealbreaker for me. Unless your couch sits in line with the middle of the TV DLP's simply don't look very good. Yes in the sweet spot they are a great bang for the buck, but in a living/family room having an optimal setup is tough for lots of people.

damn right. DLPs are piss-poor bleak. You can use the pictures they render to
medically explain what tunnel vision looks like.
Any of the Sammies, Sony XBRs, Sony Bravias, certain Pannie plasmas all kill that
crap DLP technology - at the price point mentioned.

I am on an LCD now, but am thinking a Plasma would be better. I want darker blacks, no bleeding and not motion blur...no pixelation. I do have bluray, ps3 and HD content on Comcast.
I think Plasma may be the way to go... but which one...?

Stores are pretty much the worst places ever to look at DLPs - they're on shelves at bad vertical viewing angles, the bulbs are screwed up from being on torch mode 24/7, and SSE is super-easy to spot when you're a foot away from the TV.Originally posted by: krotchy

I want soooo bad to experiment with a projector + screen. I'm just hesitant, I'd have to see someones setup in person first though. Too bad noone I know is gonna have a setup like that, lol
