So I need some imput on TV"s I am finally going to buy a big bad azz TV 56 or 60 inch. I would like some thoughts on TV's. I like the Samsung LCD and have heard that Plasmas are a pain in the butt to get fixed! What to get! What to get?

Bob there was another thread on this awhile back....

Search it.

I have a plasma.....no complaints......BUT, if I was to purchase one today, it would be LCD

Aw thx Magic, Just read it. Guess I should check before posting lol

Any time Bob...

Besides, I never get tired of your Avatar....Bootylicious!

Go LCD, and go all out. 1080p. Not 720p, not 1080i. Make sure it has at least 2 HDMI ports. and like 2 or 3 Component ports, and all kinds of other in-ports, so you can hook up your Blu-ray, Wii, PS3, Cable Box, digital camera/camcorder, Bose surround sound, Dvd, VCR, etc etc etc.

And shop around. Don't just walk into Bestbuy and get hosed. Check independent stores too.
Check Consumer Reports. A $50 subscription may save you $1000.

Make sure you save your receipt, because my Sony took a crap after about 9 months and even with the receipt, they were a pain in the ass to deal with to honor their warranty, and I had to drag it across the county to a "certified repair facility." I'm done with Sony because of that. Also the repair guys warned me that if anything else ever went wrong and I had to pay out of pocket, it would cost me more to fix than a the price of a new set. We also have a Samsung in the other room. When it started making a funny noise they SENT OUT a repairman the next day. Quite a difference in product support if you ask me.

I'm thinking DLP. Anybody have a reason to not buy one of these? Check this one out. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-HL50A650-5...howViewpoints=1

I got my LCD HD TV and computer parts and accessories from these guys...
This is from this weeks sale. I bought mine back when HD TV's were twice what they are asking for now. Lot's of TV available for the buck. Remember to buy a screen size appropriate for the size room that it will be located in. To big of screen in a small room is difficult to watch. Get as large a screen as the room will allow. The larger screen TV's will usually have 4 HDMI plug ins. A USB plug in is good for updating TV via computer from manufacturers website. Remember, on line you don't have Taxes.

MF,
You didnt offer any insight on the post you referred to or this thread, so instead of trying to increase your post count how about if you just dont say anything.

Just trying to help Bob out, and if my excessive posting's for padding irritates you....good....

Mf

Or maybe what you were trying to say, "the 24 inch rear projection screen that I play missle command on in my moms basemennt is pretty nice. Other than that I have no idea, so to increase my count I would like to refer you to an earlier thread"!

Try the other hand....it's still early.

I think Amizon may be the way to go, I just want good fast costumer service if it goes down, Plus thx for the replies whether there post count goes up or not. WHO CARES ?????

What about DLP?

If I were going to get a 60-70" tube today, I'd get the Sony XBR series LCD.

They look pretty nice Fish4brains, $950.00 for a 50inch, thats pretty good. And a 5 star rating hmmmm I may have to do more research on these DLP's.

Thank you for the web address.

They make 70 inch LCD'S??????

DLP's are bulky and take up to much room. Stay with flat and wall mount a super big screens. DLP's are a good buy for those that can't afford the much more attractive Flat screen, but I would go with a smaller flat screen over a larger big screen DLP for the same price.

I do want a flat screen, I don't have much room between the wall and tv stand. I just saw how bulky those DLP's are, to much tv bulk there I think. But the pic rating is very high.
