That’s gonna make my Bravia look like a 13 inch BW-Zenith........
I can see all the actor’s pimples and wrinkles now on my 42-inch plasma. They probably look like the Grand Canyon on a 73-inch.
Geez, if you have a small house, where the heck would a 65-inch screen not be overwhelming? Outside, maybe.
I waited 50 years for HD only to end up seeing phosphor-dot feces taking up so much of the screen real estate on almost every channel. Ads, “you’re now watching”, logos, etc.
Big whoop.
I bought a Toshiba 57” DLP R/P last year, it was the last of the model line and it was a floor model plus on top of that Sears had a fathers day sale, in the end I paid like $1200 for it, it was a hidden gem, while The overpriced Mits and Sony’s kept cropping up with problems like premature lamp failures mine has been totally trouble free, however I have learned a valuable lesson similar to buying the most up to date computer, if you want the best, newest and latest thing on the market you pay through the nose, if you can afford it then its obsolete.
Technically DLP is obsolete but still its such a stunning vivid display with extreme minor screen door effects and frankly I can hardly ever see it unless it a fast moving object.
I would suggest checking out close out deals on LED Tvs before jumping the gun on a laser unless which I seriously doubt Mits does what Toshiba did and lowers the unit price way down, thats why Sears dropped carrying them, they were so far below compared to others and had better picture quality that they had no profit margin, that I was told by a Sears employee.
From what I hear the best image quality screen coming around in the near future is an organic phosphor, there is a puter screen available now, its like a million to one contrast ratio.
I’m perfectly happy with my 2 Sony 27” and 1 GE 13” TVs I’ve had for years. Maybe by the time I need a new one, the prices will go down.
I’m still waiting to move to digital. :)
Got a 37” SDTV sitting in the main living room. MY personal entertainment electronics have been stuck on 1996 for about the last 10 years (No HDMI, DVD only, still using VCR). I’m thinking that perhaps shelling out a couple of grand this time might be worth the upgrade of two generations of TV.
IT was a lot of work but we got it out (LASER TV that is) .... wait till next year when the wireless sets start coming out. All you will need is to plug in the power cord. All else will be sent to the TV via Bluetooth ... working on the chip right now ... SiBeam
Now you tell me Laser's the word!
Ah well - holographs will probably be in before I buy another TV - I got 16 years out of that RCA ................ FRegards
Geez, I don’t even have an HDTV, and probably won’t get one for another five years, and they’re already changing the technology on me? Sheesh, I am getting old....
That’s not fair (the large sizes).
Mitsubishi also says the sets, which are 10 inches deep, operate at under 200 watts, consuming less energy than other LCD models now on the market.
I'm going to hang onto my current set until it needs a repair that runs as much as a new set.
