Hd Tv

[Burg72]

I'm looking to buy a HD tv set later this year and I'm looking for an inexpensive one that is +42". I am purchasing it mostly for watching sports and I want one that will keep up with the fast action. I seem to be leaning towards DLP. Anybody out there with any opinions on which way I should go?

I read it and I only seen people talk about the Sony Wega a few times and just one about a DLP.

...and what does that tell you about DLP?

I'd go DLP or a Sony Grand Wega. Rear Projections are going to be cheaper than flat panels of course, by a long shot.

I think LCD's are brighter, and thus better for sports than a DLP. Both will have problems with pixelation in keeping up with fast moving action I believe.

That he liked it ..............but I want more than one opinion.

So, it comes down to brightness your telling me because nothing will keep up with the fast action?

My own opinion is that I'd never own a DLP. They're not bright enough IMO. Plasmas look great, but you do pay premium $ for them. LCDs are good too, and I have some friends that like LCDs better than Plasmas, but IMO from experience they're not as bright & vibrant & plasma, but much brighter & more vibrant in color than a DLP.

Of course, if you don't mind the girth, the best picture is CRT, the picture-tube HDTVs, but they're limited in size.

What do they run?

I've got a Mitsubishi Medallion 55", rear projection. I've had itfor a couple of years and love it. They should be very affordable at this point.

They're pretty cheap, but good luck finding one over 36". Most CRTs are under a grand new.

here's the one I bought a few months back, a 30" Philips CRT:

nice TV.

Here's a big sony Wega that's $1599.

Honestly though, if I was going to spend $1500+ on an HDTV, I'd probably get a flat-screen plasma. The CRTs are nice, but they're a bit impossible to move and pretty limited in size. If you don't mind a smaller screen though, they're the best picture quality possible.

Thanks for your help.

I don't know if they are the best picture quality available...I stood looking at the LCD I eventually bought, and the CRT's...and I liked the LCD much better.

And like you said, CRT's can weight like 200 pounds, where my LCD is 60.

I just bought a 62" DLP and I think that it is plenty bright enough. I think that it depends on how much money you have to spend.

Also, check out uecweb.com. I know six people, including me, that have bought Hitachi's from here with no issue. Awesome prices and fast delivery too!
