Best Projection TVs

Ok so my Birthdays coming up pretty soon and ive been wanting to get an Hd tv to put in my room to play my xbox primarily just to chill. My xbox used to be hooked up to our living room Hd tv which is a Lg 60 inch i think but we moved it so it wouldn’t get in the way of stuff. We moved it to another 70inch tv we have although its about ten years old and one of those big bulky rear projection ones and i cant really play any of my games on there. Ive been doing a little looking for tvs and such and i don’t know if the difference between 1080p and 720p is all that significant. I play battlefield 2 bad company and its hard to see on our old tv so Picture quality is my Main concern and i want at least a 32 inch tv. So ok back again, is the 720 and 1080 difference that big of a deal or will the 720 have fine enough picture quality as is?

sorry for the shpeil

I’ve been playing my xbox 360 on 1080p ever since I bought my xbox. After I brought my xbox with me on a trip and tried to hook it back up to my tv, it would turn on and there would be sound but no picture.

I tried plugging it in into different component ports on the back of the tv, that didn’t do anything. Then I tried using a different xbox component cable, that didn’t work.

I used the xbox on another tv that has HD and it worked fine. I then clicked the switch to TV instead of hdtv and it finally worked.

So the highest setting the xbox will go on this tv is 480p. Any ideas why this is happening? My tv is a Panasonic with HDTV Projection Monitor (Model number PT-56TW53)

I have a Mitsubishi 65809 that is 7 year old. Is it possible to upgrade it from 1080i to 1080P without replacing the whole TV? Could we replace the video “guns”, or perform a firmware upgrade, or something? I heard there an adaptor kit of somekind. Is this true?

I have a Magnavox 51 inch rear projection TV, Model 51MP392H TV . It is1080i. I want to connect a Bluray player that is 1080p. Will the Bluray work with this model TV? My TV does not have HDMI connectors. It has Component Video connectors.

it was originally a $10,000 TV but I want to get rid of it and i would like to get something out of it. It works good looks good and is digital ready. thanks
I had it special ordered and it cost $10,000 it says it is a 1080 and it isn’t the kind of tv you can just go pick up at best buy. It doesn’t get much use now that the kinds have been out of the house for a few years. I expect the value to be a lot lower then I bought it for but I don’t want to give it away for free.

Can anyone that owns this projector offer me their opinion on it? Has anyone switched recently from a TV to a Projector? Are you happy you made the switch? How much picture quality do you think I’ll lose, if any?

I’ve got a 52″ rear projection HDTV currently, and i love it, but i want a LCD so i don’t have to worry about Burn-In when i play my xbox or hook it to my computer. When do you think prices will come down on these tvs to the point i could find one for about 1500?

I’ve always understood that 1080p is superior because it has progressive scan (refreshes every pixel every refresh) vs 1080i, which alternates refreshing between even and odd pixels. That I understand.

What I don’t understand is “1080i WITH progressive scan”. Is this just another name for 1080p, or something “in between”?

It seems to me that progressive scan is progressive scan, and means the same thing in each kind of TV? In other words, how can you have BOTH interlaced AND progressive scan at the same time when they mean opposite things?

(BTW, it is a 51″ HDTV CRT rear projection, so is the “i” and “p” might not make as much difference as on an LCD?)
The first two answers answered my question, albeit from two different ways! Appreciated! With further research, it has a native resolution of 1080i, and upconverts 720p. So that clears it up. I got it for free, so it’s all good, but just wanted to know what I was dealing with. THANKS!

Is this the right move for the type of TV I should buy? Or should I stoop down a bit and get a Rear Projection that is still 100% 1080p and is bigger but isnt a flat screen?

I am pretty set on going for the LCD Flat Screen and I have been looking at prices and Models. I refuse to go over 1,299.00$ base price. SO far I have got the feel that the Toshiba is the smartest move for this, BUT is there any other good options I can go with?

So far there are two TV’s that have caught my eye:

Also one rear projection looks real good too:

I also refuse to go with Plasma. I never liked it.

And the placement of the tv is a pretty open area, so depth won’t be that big of a problem, although I am possibly thinking about a mount. But I also like the flat panel much better. I would only go withthe Rear Projection if somebody would sell me on it.

I have a 60” philips tv that is hd
it has an hdmi input in the back, when I compare it to a plasma the picture on the plasma is so much better. I think it’s a projection.
And what is the difference between component and hdmi

I have a 60″ Sony WEGA rear projection HDTV. It only accepts 1080i and it irritates me. Its 1080p counterpart cost twice as much and thats its only difference. I know there is someway to open it, remove some parts, and install others so it accepts the 1080p signal. I feel so behind in technology even though this tv is new.

I’ve been looking at the new DLP rear-projection televisions that can handle 1080p, or 1920 by 1080 resolutions natively. If I connect a PC to this box (through DVI), will it be possible to sit in a recliner and work in front of this TV ? Not just web browsing, but Word processing, terminal connections, etc… In particular I’m interested in a 52″ model from Samsung which can be purchased nowadays for less than $3000.

Hello,
I just bought the Sony KDS-R60XBR2 60″ SXRD 1080p XBR Rear Projection HDTV for a good amount of money. However i brought it home and set it up but was disappointed.

- It takes 1 minute and 5 seconds for the thing to turn on, which is such ridiculous.
- The colors are sooo off its not even funny
- Not worth the money i bought it for

Im confused because i spent a lot of time researching and this tv was one of the best sellers and had great reviews on various reliable sites.

I feel like returning it and sticking to my old-school 60 inch big screen tv.

what you think?? am i alone in this???

I have a 57″ 1080i projection TV. I have a HD tuner with direct tv and the picture is phenominal. Looking into buying a blu-ray player soon too. Is it worth the money to upgrade my tv to a bit smaller lcd or plasma with 1080p capabilities? Is the improvement worth $1500-$2500 ?

Hi I have a 2003 55″ Mitsubishi rear projection 1080i tv (not pure hd, it upconverts). Would there is a big difference between the picture I am getting with this and the picture I would get with a new 1080p 1920 x 1080p native resolution television with all the new technologies? A lot of freinds say there wouldn’t be a big difference… but I’m not sure, and can’t really tell without a side by side comparison.

If it would be a big difference I would have a budget of $3,000.

I play a lot of xbox 360 and also have a blu ray player, and I have high def tv programming if that matters…

Thanks in advance!
