Found a TV that I thought had terrific color. It mesmeriszes me because of its size and color saturation. It is about 1200 more than I planned to spend and I am trying to figure out whether it is worth it. On the one hand, I haven't done anything fun in a long time, on the downside, it is a lot of monies for me.

Are you going to watch it or live in it?
Just my personal opinion but that is the very TV I wanted to purchase if the price had been right on Black Friday. Only one I’ve seen locally is at Sam’s so it’s their price or nothing and I’m going to pass until the price goes down considerably. Mitsubishi has now come out with an 82” so the 70” isn’t the big dog any longer. Sam’s priced the TV at $3500 or so and dropped it by $600 within a few months. It’s still around $2700 and that’s a lot more than I’m willing to pay right now.
Bad ass!!
So what’s your question?
If you really want the best color get the Sharp ELITE, line take over from Pioneer...best TV on the market PERIOD.

The Same goes for HDTVs but instead it's

(You can have the greatest resolution possible BUT if the refresh rate sucks then you get motion blur out the yin yang!)
I have a HDTV Flat Panel LG Brand for $650. What would I need a larger screen for?
I am perfectly happy with this size of screen. Now you have an auditorum-sized room I can see maybe a 70” screen. Of course it is going to cost much much more!
It’s your money! I live frugally but comfortable.
I just bought a 47" LG LED 3D to replace my Sony Bravia - anything much larger would overpower my living room.
Absolutely fabulous picture in 2D or 3d, even comes with a special 3D simulation mode which takes a 2D picture and makes it appear to be 3D. Every bit the picture quality of the Samsung or Sony.
$855.00 at Costco, added a five year warranty for $60.00.
Read the reviews on Amazon. You get a good people meter there. A friend just bought an LG 47” 3d...I helped him set it up. He is very happy with it. Another bought a 55” Samsung LED TV.
These TVs are so sharp that old shows like Gunsmoke might disappoint you. Can look grainy. You can blow a few thou on such TVs but you are wasting your time if you don’t get the HD channels to go along with them.
HDTV ping
You got that 70” hooked up to a good set of rabbit ears in the double-wide or what? Cinerama! :-)
You are buying a Cadillac (pre-government motors compliment intended).
Why stop at 70”? Why not just get a drive-in theater? :P
Hey, I bet for the right price we can get a projector that puts images on the moon!
I guess you could string Christmas lights from it, but that might attract aircraft looking for a place to land.
OK, I am done and this wasn’t funny or helpful at all. I should be ashamed of myself, especially since I’m not drunk.
I recently bought a Phillips 55 Inch TV from Sams for about $950. Model number is 55PLFL570D/F7.
The HD picture quality is incredibly good.
I sit in a recliner right in front of a big VIZIO HDTV.
We’re talking 3ft here. I use it as my computer
monitor. I ain’t never goin back to that dinky
21” monitor, no way. :-)
Blu ray disks and HD from youtube look wondeful!
I’m watching the HD versions of the series WW2 in HD
just now.
WWII In HD, Episode 1, Darkness Falls (FULL EPISODE).mp4 1,013,527KB
That is the same TV we have. Make sure you use HDM [or whatever] cables to get the best picture. We have a large living area and I can watch from any area in the room.
Have you seen the commercials for this one? They use words like "Viewmongous".
I bought that TV a few month’s back. I am very happy with it. The picture is so bright that most of the movies look like video tapes. You won’t regret it.
You’re just bragging, Mr Soup, if that is your real name!
